EV Erin Ventures Inc

Erin Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE: EV) is pleased to report that it has been granted an exploration license for the Piskanja boron deposit in Serbia, by the Serbian Ministry of Mining and Energy. The license covers an area of approximately 3 square kilometres, and includes the entire known historical mineralized area along with a substantial amount of previously unexplored ground. This development signals the return of the entire license area previously held by Erin Ventures.

Under Serbian law, a mineral exploration license is granted exclusively, for a 3 year period (extendable at the request of the license holder). Upon successful completion of the exploration program, the license holder has the sole right to apply for an exploitation (mining) license.

Erin is planning an exploration program on the Piskanja deposit, which has a historical estimate of approximately seven million tonnes grading 39 per cent B2O3 (boron), with a goal of establishing a NI43-101 compliant resource. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource. Additional drilling will be required before this historical estimate could be raised to a resource status. Erin is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources and the historical estimate should not be relied upon.

Discussions are underway with interested potential strategic partners regarding both the development of the project and the eventual sale of boron.

Additionally, Erin is continuing with its US$15 million legal action against EPS (the National Power Corporation of Serbia) regarding alleged breaches by EPS in the now defunct joint venture it formed with Erin in 1997, for the development of the Piskanja property (as reported by Erin in its news release dated June 22, 2009).

Summary of the Piskanja boron property

The Piskanja property has a historical estimate of approximately seven million tonnes of 39 per cent B2O3 (boron) as colemanite and ulexite, based upon historic drill data (some of which was completed by Erin). Evaluation of the drill-hole data by Erin's technical advisers indicates that the Piskanja deposit has the potential of hosting additional significant borate tonnage beyond the historical estimate, based on their observations that the deposit is open both to the south and the east, as the last drill holes ended in mineralization.

Piskanja is located in a historical mining region that has good infrastructure for mining including roads, rail, electric power, experienced miners, support services, etc., 250 km south of Belgrade, Serbia by good paved roads.

About boron

--  Boron is a critically important industrial mineral. World production of
    boron minerals reached an estimated 4.35 million metric tons in 2008.

--  Market prices reflect the relative scarcity of borates with prices
    averaging: US$280/t for colemanite concentrate (40-42 percent B2O3);
    US$500/t for ulexite (40 percent B2O3); US$550/t for boric acid; and
    US$50/kg for anhydrous borax.

--  Consumption of borates used in high- technical applications is expected
    to increase by 10% in North America and 13% in Europe by 2012. China is
    the largest consumer of boron, where consumption has risen by 15 percent
    per year from 2000 to 2010.

--  Borate minerals and refined borate products are used extensively
    worldwide in the manufacture of vitreous products such as fiberglass
    insulation, textile fiberglass, borosilicate glass (e.g. LCD screens),
    ceramic glazes and porcelain enamels. These applications account for
    approximately 60 per cent of borate consumption, with detergents, fire
    retardants, metallurgy, agriculture, insecticides, wood preservatives
    and specialty products accounting for the remainder.
