of $498 per ounce of gold. Under the previous operator for the same period (Q1)
in 2007 the mine produced 8,221 ounces of gold at an average cash operating cost

Choco 10 Mine were awarded to Micon International Ltd. and work on the ground
has been initiated.


- Capital expenditures of $25 million on a new mobile mine fleet and plant
equipment were initiated during the quarter. Some delays have been encountered
in the importation of this new equipment, however delivery and phasing in of
mobile fleet is expected to occur throughout Q2 2008.


- Mine development at the SREP gold deposit through the development of a 1.8 km
ramp to access the ore bodies at 200m depth continues and is scheduled for
completion in Q4 2008, though minor delays have occurred due to seasonal rains.


Exploration:

- Resource and reserve in-fill drilling, in addition to geotechnical drilling,
is being carried out in the Choco 10 Mine lease areas. Highlights of this
drilling include; from the Coacia Area, 18.63g/t Au over 12m, 13.74g/t Au over
14m, 3.86g/t Au over 39m and from the VBK Area, 7.73g/t Au over 13.2m and
9.39g/t Au over 9.2m.


- Significant gold discoveries recently made at the Valle Hondo, Increible 14
and Yuruan projects.


- Recent results for all of these projects were released in a news release on
May 22, 2008.


Rusoro is very pleased with the progress being made in all facets of its growth
strategy. Operations continue to improve as the processes at the plant are
optimized, expansion continues to move forward at both the Choco and Emilia
mills and the exploration programs continue to prove the world class geology of
Venezuela for the discovery of gold.


Rusoro's President George Salamis reports: "We are very pleased that we have
been able to demonstrate that our turn-around strategy for the Choco 10 Mine is
proving to be successful. Going forward we are confident that we can continue to
improve significantly on our operational numbers and have in fact had a record
month in May 2008 for total tonnes of ore processed in the mill at 226,660
tonnes. The execution of our Mine optimization goals, in addition to this recent
ore processing record, is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our
Mine Management team and employees at the Choco 10 Mine."


Diamond drilling was conducted by Perforaciones Mayortec (Major Drilling),
Technodrilling and Core Biel Drilling of Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela. RC drilling
was completed by AK Drilling of Peru. All drilling and drill sampling have been
completed using industry standard practices. All drill core is described in
detail and photographed and one half of the core remains for inspection and
reference.

reliable. Sample rejects for all drill samples are stored in Rusoro's secure
