NGE Nevada Exploration Inc

Nevada Exploration Inc. ("NGE") (TSX VENTURE:NGE) is pleased to announce that it
has entered into a Letter of Intent ("LOI") with Spruce Ridge Resources Ltd.
("Spruce Ridge") (TSX VENTURE:SHL) whereby Spruce Ridge may earn a joint venture
interest in NGE's Fletcher Junction Gold Project, in Mineral County, Nevada (the
"Property").


Under the terms of the LOI, Spruce Ridge will have the option to earn a 70%
interest in the Property by funding $2,600,000 in qualifying expenditures and
making $300,000 in payments over 4 years (the "Earn-In"). The Year 1 payment of
$50,000 is due upon the signing of a definitive agreement and the Year 1 work
commitment of $580,000 is a firm obligation. Subject to TSX Venture Exchange
approval, Spruce Ridge may elect to pay up to 50% of the payments due under the
definitive agreement by issuing Spruce Ridge Common Shares. NGE will act as the
Operator during the Earn-In. If Spruce Ridge completes the Earn-In, Spruce Ridge
may earn an additional 15%, for a total of 85%, by completing a feasibility
report. Once NGE and Spruce Ridge complete a definitive agreement, NGE will
issue a further news release.


About the Property

The Fletcher Junction Property is located approximately 30 kilometers (19 miles)
southwest of Hawthorne, Nevada, in the Walker Lane, a region of long-lived
tectonic, volcanic and hydrothermal activity. The Property lies 6 kilometers
(3.7 miles) north of the Aurora mining district, which produced nearly two
million ounces of gold between 1865 and 2004 (approximately 80 percent was mined
between 1862 and 1865), within the larger Borealis-Aurora-Bodie mineral cluster,
with combined recorded production and current (non 43-101 compliant) resources
of 6.5 million ounces of gold and 11 million ounces of silver. The Property sits
adjacent to the Aurora Crater, and is covered by a thin, post-mineral layer of
basalt and alluvium. Because of the cover, the Property has not been previously
explored.


In 2004, NGE identified high concentrations of gold and trace elements in spring
water flowing from beneath the basalt and alluvium along the edge of the Aurora
Crater. NGE followed up the encouraging hydrogeochemistry results with
additional groundwater, vegetation, soil, and float rock geochemical sampling,
which all confirmed the presence of elevated concentrations of gold and other
trace elements. Most significantly, of the 148 angular quartz float samples NGE
collected along the edge of the basalt cover, 30 samples contained gold
concentrations greater than 0.1 grams per tonne, 11 samples contained gold
concentrations greater than 1.0 grams per tonne, and 3 samples contained gold
concentrations greater than 10.0 grams per tonne (11.2 g/t, 26.9 g/t, and 90.5
g/t).


In 2008, NGE completed a Phase I drilling program at the Property, which
included 13 vertical, reverse circulation drill holes across a 2,750 x 900 meter
(9,000 x 3,000 ft) target area. The holes were spaced an average of 500 meters
(1,650ft) apart and placed specifically to determine the size of the expected
hydrothermal system and the nature of its primary, potentially ore controlling
characteristics. NGE's drilling successfully encountered hydrothermally altered
basement bedrock similar to that within the Aurora mining district exhibiting
anomalous gold and gold-associated trace elements at depths ranging from 180 to
290 meters (590 to 965 feet).


The Property is now ready for a Phase II angled, core drilling program to test
for the high-angle quartz veins believed to source the high concentrations of
gold found spring water, soil, vegetation, and quartz boulders. To direct the
Phase II drilling, Spruce Ridge and NGE expect to complete an airborne VTEM(R)
survey within the next several weeks with the objectives of assisting in
delineating the bedrock topography beneath the alluvium and basalt cover, and
defining areas of alteration that may be related to gold mineralization.
Following the VTEM(R) survey, Spruce Ridge and NGE expect to proceed with the
Phase II core drilling program to test the most prospective parts of the
property.

Nevada Exploration Inc.

NGE is an exploration company focused on gold in Nevada. NGE is led by an
experienced management team that has been involved with the discovery of more
than 30 million ounces of gold in Nevada.


NGE is aggressively applying the latest in "blind deposit" exploration
technology to identify, acquire, and advance new exploration properties in
Nevada's highly prospective, yet underexplored covered basins. Specifically, NGE
has developed proprietary hydrogeochemistry (groundwater chemistry) exploration
technology to explore for gold in Nevada's covered basins where traditional
exploration techniques are challenged.


Using its industry leading exploration technology, NGE has assembled a portfolio
of nine new gold projects, and with over 20,000 hectares (75 sq mi), is evolving
as a major player in this world class jurisdiction. NGE's business model is to
leverage its properties and technology to create shareholder value through
generative exploration, joint ventures, and other exploration partnerships.
