Salazar Reports High Grade Assays From El Gallo With 4.57 m at 9.45 g/t Gold and 337 g/t Silver Mon Jan 21, 5:00 AM ca.news.finance.yahoo.com VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 21, 2008) - Salazar Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: SRL.V)(FRANKFURT: CCG.F) is pleased to announce further results from its initial diamond drill program at the Curipamba Project in Central West Ecuador. The program continues progressing well with two diamond drill rigs operating 24 hour shifts. The first drill remains at Sesmo Sur testing the IP anomaly encountered during the ground geophysics program; the second drill rig remains at Las Naves Central testing the geochemical anomalies previously identified. The Company is currently on drill hole #25 of the Phase 1 10,500 metre drill program. Highlights of the latest drill holes from the El Gallo Anomaly at Las Naves Central: Drill holes 15, 16 and 17: the following drill holes successfully intersected a breccia zone with clasts of polysulphides plus barite in an argillic matrix (to see Figure 2, for all drill hole locations at Las Naves Central, please click on: ccnmatthews.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Length Au Ag Cu Pb Zn Hole # From To (m) (g/t) (g/t) (%) (%) (%) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CURI-07-015 8.05 15.00 6.95 4.51 157.0 0.12 0.06 0.04 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CURI-07-016 0.00 8.25 8.25 5.80 66.0 0.08 0.09 0.04 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Including: 2.00 7.00 5.00 9.12 104.0 0.09 0.10 0.04 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CURI-07-017 6.09 10.66 4.57 9.45 337.82 0.20 0.23 0.25 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Including: 6.09 9.00 2.91 14.42 512.1 0.28 0.27 0.29 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ There were no significant values in drill hole 14.

Drill cores 6 through 8 were compromised due to the disruption in October. Drill holes 10, 11 and 13 reported no significant values (to see Figure 1, for all drill hole locations at Sesmo Sur, please click on: ccnmatthews.com. Mr. Fredy Salazar states, "We are encouraged with the initial drill results we are seeing at Las Naves Central. The grades intersected we believe are significant and with focused follow-up exploration the potential at this Project remains excellent. We are also encouraged that we are experiencing no more interruptions to our program and that our team is drilling efficiently and completing holes at a rapid pace. More drill results are pending from the Roble and Roble Uno anomalies at Las Naves Central and will be released shortly." Dr. Howard Lahti, P. Geo, the qualified person for the company, has reviewed this news release for its accuracy. A QC program was used whereby 5% of all samples sent to the laboratory were standard samples with known silver and gold values. Sample preparation was performed by BSI Inspectorate Quito, Ecuador, using standard industry practices (sample prep minus 32). Analytical work was carried out at the BSI Inspectorate Laboratory in Lima, Peru, using fire assay methods for gold (Au-25 procedure). Standard samples, blanks and duplicate check samples were randomly inserted to the sample batch to ensure quality control.
