PORTAL TERMINATES CERRO SOLO OPTION AGREEMENT

Portal Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: PDO) announces that it has terminated the Cerro Solo option agreement, dated April 24, 2007 ( see News Release 07-10 ) between the Company and Pacific Bay Minerals Ltd. The Cerro Solo uranium exploration project is located in Chubut province, Argentina.

Portal maintains its strategy to build wealth for shareowners by identifying and acquiring advanced exploration opportunities with the potential to host ore deposits that are very large or can be readily developed.

Portal continues to reduce exposure to Argentina and conserve a well funded treasury (Cdn$2.0 million) while reviewing opportunities in politically and socially stable countries with good exploration potential to invest shareowners’ money.
