TAD Mineral Exploration Inc.: Final Data From Hazelton Drill Program

TAD Mineral Exploration Inc. ("TAD" or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE:TJ) wishes to
announce the results from the multiple split core samples (from SD10DDH-1, 2, 3,
4 & 6) that returned greater than 100 ppm tungsten (W) at the Hazelton Prospect
in British Columbia. The anomalous tungsten bearing sample intervals occur
adjacent to base and precious metal bearing zones. The following table lists
core samples that returned geochemical analysis greater than 0.01% W:




-------------------------
Sample Number         W %
-------------------------
164005              0.014
-------------------------
164044              0.024
-------------------------
164051              0.018
-------------------------
164065              0.124
-------------------------
164201              0.012
-------------------------
164333               0.06
-------------------------



The anomalous tungsten bearing sample intervals occur adjacent to (within 1-5
meters of) base and precious metal bearing zones and in the case of sample no
164333 (V10DDH-6), there is anomalous gold (0.21 g/t Au), and tungsten (0.06%
W), across an interval length of 1 meter in the same sample. The association of
gold and tungsten is common in certain intrusion related deposit types, and
occurs as mesothermal mineralization hosted by quartz monzonite/granite,
characterized by essentially isothermal conditions from deeply circulating
hydrothermal solutions at intermediate depths, temperature of formation of
200-300 degrees C and high pressure. 


The spatial association of quartz monzonite/granite to gold-tungsten bearing
mineralization is such that the intrusions act as heat sources responsible for
establishment of circulating hydrothermal systems, forming en echelon, sheeted
veins occurring in response to structural/chemical traps. Deposits with similar
characteristics to the Hazelton North Project are the Fairbanks, Alaska and Keno
Hill area of the Yukon Territory.


Jason Gigliotti, director of TAD states, "This past Hazelton drill program was
successful in beginning to outline a potential precious metal deposit.
Additionally, above limit tungsten assays provide the Company with an additional
commodity to pursue in the future. The Company anticipates getting back to the
property in the coming months to expand on what has been discovered to date.
Management is also actively searching for additional prospects that may enhance
shareholder value."
