NEWS RELEASE

HACKBERRY SILVER PROJECT – DRILL PROGRAM UPDATE and

AEROMAGNETIC SURVEY COMPLETED

Bitterroot Resources Ltd.’s (BTT, TSX-V) drilling contractor plans to mobilize a drill rig to the

Hackberry Silver Project, Mojave County, Arizona, starting September 5. Up to 2,000 metres

(6,500 feet) of drilling will initially test targets on the pa tented mineral rights adjacent to the

Hackberry Mine underground workings. Bitterroot’s management is also preparing permit

applications for drilling and access trail construction on several targets located on the adjacent

unpatented mining claims.

Bitterroot’s geophysical consultant has completed levelling, processing and interpreting recently-

received aeromagnetic data collected over the Company’s Hackberry silver property. Figures

showing the aeromagnetic results are posted on www.bitterrootresources.com .

The aeromagnetic survey was flown on lines spaced 50 -metres (165 feet) apart, with terrain

clearances generally ranging from 50 to 90 metres (165-295 feet). This detailed survey shows that

the Hackberry mineralized trend is associated with a northwest/southeast-trending linear magnetic

low. Along this linear magnetic low, the Hackberry Mine’s underground workings coincide with

a subtle magnetic high . Several similar magnetic features have been noted along strike, within a

900 metre (0.6 mile)-long interval, roughly centred on the Hackberry mine workings.

The Silver King mine is located 1.5 km (1 mile) northwest of the Hackberry Mine, on the same

linear magnetic trend, coincident with a stronger magnetic low. Results from reconnaissance soil

geochemical sampling lines have confirmed the mineralized nature of the Hackberry trend and

several other associated structures.
