Gold-Ore Resources Ltd. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:GOZ) is pleased to report
the results of the recently completed resource and reserve estimate for the 100%
owned Bjorkdal Gold Mine in Sweden. The Bjorkdal Gold Mine has been in operation
for 19 of the last 21 years and this new reserve estimate outlines 4.0 million
tonnes of ore sufficient for another 3.7 years of operations. The measured and
indicted resources generate an additional 6.9 million tonnes available for
conversion to reserves.


Resources

Wardell Armstrong International Ltd. (WAI) was commissioned to provide Gold-Ore
with a resource estimate, which separated the deposit into resources amenable to
open pit mining and those that would be mined underground. WAI used Datamine
software and Indicator Kriging, incorporating all drill data up to March 2009, a
total of 4,475 drill holes with a nominal spacing of 30 metres. The resource
estimate complies with JORC 2004. Table 1 lists the tonnage and grade for the
open pit and underground resources, and Table 2 lists the corresponding ounces
of gold for each category.

Reserves

After completing the resource estimate, WAI calculated mineable reserves for
open pit and underground mining. To establish open pit reserves WAI completed a
Pit Optimisation Study using Net Present Value Scheduler software and evaluated
four different resource scenarios at different gold prices. The scenario
selected for the pit mine design was the one that only included measured and
indicated resources that would not impact the underground development. The Open
Pit Design Module of Datamine was used to delineate the reserves. The mineable
reserves include a dilution factor of 30% and 91% mining recovery. The economic
cut-off grade was determined to be 0.45 grams per tonne gold at a gold price of
$200 Swedish krona per gram (US$806 per ounce).


To calculate the underground reserves WAI updated the underground resources
based on modelling individual veins for the area extending beyond the north wall
of the current pit and within the area bounded by the current mine development.
Of the Measured and Indicated resources considered, approximately 30% was
included in proven and probable ore. Measured and Indicated resources, north and
south of the area examined in the study, will be added to reserves as additional
diamond drilling and development in these areas allows conversion. This resource
estimate was based on a minimum vein thickness of 1.0 metres. No dilution was
applied to the estimate. The resource estimate for this part of the study used
ordinary Kriging.


The mine design, including the stopes, was modelled in Mine 2-4D software. A
dilution factor of 25% was applied and a mining recovery of 95%. A cut-off grade
of 1.3 grams per tonne gold was used for the development and a cut-off grade of
1.0 grams per tonne gold was used for the stopes. Proven and probable reserves
for the open pit and the underground are listed in Table 3.

Economic Parameters for Conversion of Resources to Reserves

The Bjorkdal Gold Mine began operations in 1988 and has produced for 19 of the
last 21 years, and continuously since 2001. The Bjorkdal processing plant has
now milled over 19.7 million tonnes of ore and has produced 960,000 ounces of
gold. The economic parameters used for converting resources to reserves were
based on actual operating conditions at Bjorkdal for the period December 2008 to
August 2009 and are listed below:


- Mechanized underground mining methods - long hole stoping and lateral
sub-level jumbo development


- Open pit methods using blast hole drill rigs on 5 metre benches using standard
truck and shovel excavation


- Processing throughput of 3,200 tonnes/day for 350 days/year or 1.1 million
tonnes per annum


- Processing flow sheet includes crushing, grinding with gravity and flotation
beneficiation to recover gold


- Average plant recoveries at 90%

- Refinery and smelter contracts established with payable gold at 94%

- Average underground costs including mining, transportation, milling and G&A at
Swedish krona $233 (US$ 29.20) per tonne


- Average open pit costs including mining, transportation, milling and G&A at
Swedish krona $110 (US$ 13.78) per tonne


- Average Swedish krona to US dollar exchange rate (Dec 2008 to August 2009) at
7.98:1


Glen Dickson, CEO of Gold-Ore stated, "We are pleased to have a reserve
statement that indicates a multi-year mine life at Bjorkdal, although there is a
significant amount of resources that could not be included in the reserves
because of the drill hole density. However, our underground drill program
continues to define those resources, and we are confident that a large
percentage of the underground resources will be converted to reserves as the
mine development advances."
