Journey Resources Announces Pilot-Mining and Drilling at Charay

June 19 2009 - Vancouver, B.C. - JOURNEY RESOURCES CORP. is pleased to announce the Company will be conducting a pilot-mining program on the Charay Property. In conjunction with the pilot-mining program the Company is conducting a drill program, beginning in July 2009, to define sufficient resources to commission a pre-feasibility study for a mill on site at Charay, with the study's results expected during the second half of 2009. Minerales Jazz S.A. de C.V. (subsidiary of the Company) is in the process of applying to the governmental authorities regarding both the pilot-mining and the drill program.

In 2008, the Company acquired an option on the Charay Property, the property presents a rare opportunity for near-term production. An April 2008 technical report by Gordon J. Allen, P. Geo places the high grade vein-hosted gold-silver Charay property ready for near-term production. In May 2009, Journey Resources received blasting permits to facilitate pilot-mining of the property and the company is now in the process of shifting key personal to the Charay property. The initial pilot-mining will entail a strip mining operation involving the first 35,000 tonnes of material that is essentially at surface.

The Charay Property is composed of three mineral concessions in northern Sinaloa State, Mexico, approximately 250 km northwest of the state capital, Culiacán and covering approximately 380 hectares. The property is accessible by road, with most of the property covered with thin overburden. A 100m X 25m soil geochemistry grid is planned to define the surface trace of the El Padre vein. The existing vein is open to the east and to depth, and has the potential to be larger resource than is currently defined.

Charay is a property, considered prospective for new discoveries, the mineralized structure remains open along strike with mineralization appearing to increase with depth. Due diligence on the property has consisted of re-logging and quarter sampling of the 2005 drill core. The new samples were assayed by Chemex Laboratories located in Vancouver, BC, Canada. There was an excellent correlation with previously reported results however, the previous data has not been sufficiently verified by a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101 to be classified as a current resource estimate. Journey is not treating the estimate as a current resource estimate and therefore, this data should not be relied upon. In 1996 Empresa Cambior collected 80 samples on surface from a zone of silicification on the south side of the eastern known extent of the vein. Several samples contained anomalous amounts of gold, up to 5g/T. In 1999 Empresa International Northair collected 21 surface chips on the property. In 2005, Vane Minerals Group drilled 27 shallow holes on the Property, totalling 1,576 meters. Eight drill holes targeted large zones of intense alteration in search of large-tonnage, low-grade disseminated mineralization. Nineteen drill holes targeted and intersected mineralized quartz vein/structure along as strike length of approximately 240 meters. Vane Minerals estimated an approximate 37,000 tonnes of material along the 240 meter drill tested strike length of the structure across a width of 1.14 meters, and to a depth of 50 meters, which averaged 18.75 g/T Au and 120.15 g/T Ag.

In addition, the Company has modified the stock option exercise price as announced on April 2nd, 2009 and April 15th, 2009, from an exercise price of $0.05 to $0.10 per share, in accordance with the TSX Venture Exchange minimum pricing rules.

The Company announces that it has granted an additional 1,500,000 incentive stock options to directors / officers / employees and / or consultant under the Company's Stock Option Plan. The options are exercisable at $0.10 per share and will expire June 1st, 2014.
