James Bay Resources Update

James Bay Resources Limited (TSX VENTURE:JBR) ("James Bay" or the "Company")
announces that the two previously announced non-binding letters of intent (the
"Letters of Intent") which had been prepared in respect of two metallurgical
coal projects in the United States have been terminated. The Company has been
reimbursed for its expenditures in respect of the due diligence performed and
has also acquired, at no additional cost to the Company, 1,000,000 warrants in
the capital of the company which currently owns the projects. James Bay
continues to both assess the potential of its existing properties in the James
Bay Lowlands in order to capitalize on their potential and also to evaluate
other potential projects. At the request of IIROC, the Company's management also
wishes to confirm that it is unaware of any material change in the Company's
operations that would account for the recent increase in market activity.
