"Exploration drilling in the Ridgetop area of the high grade Minto Mine copper-gold mine continues to yield wide intercepts of near surface, good grade copper-gold mineralization," said Stephen Quin, President & CEO of Sherwood Copper and Minto Explorations Ltd. "The latest results continue to infill and expand the Ridgetop mineralization to the east, where it remains open," he said. "The mineralization at Ridgetop typically comprises two high grade zones of copper-gold mineralization within a broader envelope of more moderate grades, which outcrops and dips at a shallow angle to the east. This should provides two development options for consideration: continued focus on high grades at more moderate tonnages, or a bulk tonnage scenario with large volumes of good grade, low strip ratio copper-gold mineralization; these options will be evaluated in the next phase of technical studies that are currently underway."
In addition to the excellent Ridgetop results, drilling in Area 118 continues to confirm the continuity of this high grade zone of copper-gold mineralization, while hole 08SWC-384 suggests the mineralization is still open to the northwest, where it was previously thought to be closed off. The principal Area 118 horizon would appear to be faulted up, closer to surface in this region and will require more follow-up.
2008 Drill Program
The 2008 drill program is complete, with 120 holes drilled for a total of 23,840 metres, accomplishing the primary objective of expanding the known resources at Area 2, Area 118 and Ridgetop deposits and increasing the confidence in those mineral resources in support of a pre-feasibility study which has commenced and is planned for completion by mid-2009. The aim is to convert as much of the current mineral resources defined in 2007 and the new resources defined in 2008 to mineral reserves to support further increase mill throughput.
Copper and gold assay results have been received for 89 of 118 holes (2 holes were abandoned); results for 23 of which are reported herein. Exploration personnel have now started work on new resource estimates for each deposit, the results of which are expected to be released early in 2009. These new estimates will provide the basis for the updated pre-feasibility study discussed above.

About Sherwood Copper
Sherwood Copper's objective is the profitable production of base and precious metals from high grade, open pit mines in Canada. Sherwood's first operating mine, the high grade Minto copper-gold mine in Yukon, Canada, was built on budget and ahead of schedule. The Minto Mine is one of the highest-grade open pit copper-gold mines in the world, and is forecast to be a low cost producer. Aggressive exploration on the Minto property has yielded significant success, providing Sherwood the opportunity to 'grow from within' by expanding the resource and reserve base, potentially leading to further production increases. To further accelerate its production growth, Sherwood intends to pursue merger & acquisition opportunities that fit its business model and, in May 2008, Sherwood acquired 100% ownership in Western Keltic Mines (now Kutcho Copper Corp.), owner of the high-grade Kutcho copper-zinc-gold-silver deposit in northwestern British Columbia. Sherwood expects to lever off its successful development of the Minto Mine and rapidly advance the Kutcho project to a production decision. Sherwood has also agreed to combine with Capstone Mining, subject to requisite shareholder and regulatory approvals, creating a new low cost, growth oriented copper producer with two high grade mines and a strong balance sheet.
Quality Assurance
The technical information in this news release has been prepared in accordance with Canadian regulatory requirements set out in National Instrument 43-101 and reviewed by Stephen P. Quin, P. Geo., President & CEO for Sherwood Copper Corporation. The exploration activities at the Minto project site are carried out under the supervision of Brad Mercer, P. Geol., V.P. Exploration for Sherwood.
The analytical method for copper and silver performed by SGS Laboratories under a contract arrangement at the Minto Mine Site, Yukon includes digestion in aqua regia followed by absorption spectroscopy. Gold is measured using fire assay with atomic absorption spectroscopy; analysis is performed by SGS Laboratories at Red Lake, Ontario. When visible gold is noted in drill core samples or regular analytical values exceed 5 grams per tonne, the pulp and screen metallic assay method is used to determine total gold content and gold content of different size fractions. This is considered industry best practice when dealing with coarse gold mineralization where a nugget effect is suspected. The result of the pulp and screen metallic assay is accepted as the most representative value and used in the assay database for resource calculations. Blank and standard samples are added to all sample shipments prior to submittal to the lab for quality assurance and quality control. If more than two check samples assay outside of expected ranges, the work order is re-assayed. After the completion of planned drill programs, random check assays will be carried out by ALS Chemex of North Vancouver, BC.
Assay intervals reported herein are drill core lengths unless otherwise stated. Because the known deposits are essentially flat lying and most drill holes reported to date are vertical, true widths are generally expected to be the same as reported core lengths unless otherwise stated.
