BUFFALO GOLD SELLS CONCENTRATE FOR LIFE OF FURTEI MINE  


Vancouver, B.C., July 9th, 2008 – Brian McEwen, President and CEO of Buffalo Gold Ltd. (TSX-V: BUF; OTC\BB: BYBUF; FWB: B4K) is pleased to report that Buffalo is extending its concentrate sales agreement with MRI Trading AG (“MRI”) of Zug, Switzerland to include all concentrates for the life of the Furtei Mine in Sardinia.  


As previously reported in Buffalo News Releases of February 13th, 2008 and April 21st, 2008, Buffalo had entered into agreements to sell concentrates from Furtei to MRI, including up to 5000 tonnes of gold-pyrite and gold-copper concentrates this year and up to 14,500 tonnes of gold-copper concentrates in 2009.  The new agreement includes even more favourable terms than the previous ones, and includes the sale of all concentrates produced over the life of the mine.  


Buffalo has recently made its first shipment of gold-copper concentrate.  These concentrates grade 90-100 g/t Au and 10-18% Cu, significantly higher than the 12-18 g/t Au gold-pyrite concentrates produced and sold to this point.  Gold-pyrite concentrates were produced from the Sa Perrima and Su Masoni open pits this year.   More recently, Buffalo has worked the lower portion of the Su Masoni pit to produce the enargite-rich ore for the gold-copper concentrate.    


The high-grade enargite ore at Furtei is, by nature, high in sulphide and arsenic levels, making the concentrate a difficult product to market even with the high gold and copper levels,” reports Mr. Mcewen.  “We are therefore very pleased to have started mining and selling this material, and to have extended our relationship with MRI to include the sale of all concentrates over the life of the mine. We look forward to the increased revenue stream that this recent shipment and futures ones will bring to fuel our growth as a mining company.”

It is part of the MRI group of companies, a leading investment and trading group in the commodities arena.  The group has a global presence through its offices in Shanghai, Beijing, Johannesburg, Santiago de Chile, Lubumbashi, New Delhi and Brisbane.
