PORTAL TEAM IDENTIFIES NEW OIL AND GAS OPPORTUNITIES

Portal Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: PDO) is pleased to announce that the Company has engaged a technical team that has identified a series of low risk oil and gas prospects situated in Alberta and Saskatchewan. These prospects are adjacent to, and potentially extend, proven producing properties and are available through one or more of the following sources: Freehold Leases, purchase from other resource companies and the posting of currently available lands for Crown Auction Sale.

The acquisition of these prospects will present Portal with the opportunity to self-develop the portfolio or bring in partners and use recently developed horizontal drilling and completion techniques being utilized to develop numerous other fields in North America.

Due to the risks associated with success or failure of this acquisition program, a high level of confidentiality is dictated. Thus, Portal will only release further information once the acquisition program has been completed.

Portal Resources Ltd. was founded in 1999 and is based in Vancouver, Canada with a focus on the exploration, development and exploitation of natural resources. Please refer to the Company’s website at www.portalresources.net
