Baltic Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:BLR) announces results from its ongoing
exploration program on its Hawkins Township Property. This current phase of
exploration consisted of the diamond drilling of induced polarization anomalies
indicated by a surface survey completed in 2007.


The survey was done in an attempt to locate an auriferous horizon on the central
portion of the property. Twelve zones of anomalous chargeability were indicated
by the survey and designated as targets. Ten of these zones were tested by nine
drill holes with one of the holes intersecting two of the targets.


All of the targeted anomalies were accounted for in the drilling phase of the
program. These were all caused by disseminated sulfides estimated at 1% to 4% of
the rock volume and consisting mainly of pyrite with very minor sphalerite. The
mineralization was found to occur in altered metavolcanics both felsic and
mafic.


Four hundred and ninety four samples were cut and sent for analysis to ALS
Chemex Laboratories (an independent to the Company), in Vancouver, BC. No
significant gold values were returned, however, anomalous zinc values were
returned in samples from some intersections in mafic rocks. The highest of these
was received from hole HO 07-09, with values ranging from 24 to 903 ppm, and
merit further explanation.


The Company will now focus its attention to the eastern segment of the property
where a gold bearing horizon has been located by previous drilling. In the
mid-1980's Falconbridge Exploration Ltd. carried out an extensive shallow
drilling program and defined a low-grade auriferous felsic horizon with values
of 1 to 4 grams per ton gold over 4 to 30 meter widths along a minimum strike
length of 3 to 4 kilometers.


Additional information with respect to the Hawkins Township Property is
contained in a technical report dated August 17, 2004 prepared for the Company
by Mr. Boissoneault and entitled "Technical Report on the Don McKinnon Property
Hawkins Township for Baltic Resources Inc.". A copy of this report can be

This press release has been prepared under the supervision of Mr. John
Boissoneault (P.Eng.), who is an independent consultant to the Company and a
"qualified person" as such term is defined in National Instrument 43-101. Mr.
Boissoneault has verified the data disclosed in this press release.


Quality Control

Chain of possession was maintained by the qualified person from the drill site
to the core logging facilities in Timmins for all nine holes. The core was
sampled and delivered to ALS Chemex Laboratories in Timmins under his
supervision. ALS Chemex carried out the analysis using conventional AA methods
on 50 g samples. Certificates of analysis were sent to the company's field
office at 3130 Airport Road, Timmins, Ontario.


Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains certain "forward-looking statements". All
statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities,
events or developments that the Company believes, expects or anticipates will or
may occur in the future (including, without limitation, statements relating to
mineral resources, potential mineralization, exploration results and the
Company's plans with respect to the exploration and development of the Hawkins)
are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect the
current expectations or beliefs of the Company based on information currently
available to the Company. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of

no assurance that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on the

from current expectations include, among other things, changes in commodity
prices, changes in equity markets, failure to establish mineral resources,
changes to regulations affecting the Company's activities, delays in obtaining
or failures to obtain required regulatory approvals, uncertainties relating to
the availability and costs of financing needed in the future, the uncertainties
involved in interpreting drilling results and other ecological data, and the
other risks involved in the mineral exploration and development industry. Any
forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and,
except as may be required by applicable securities laws, the Company disclaims
any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a
result of new information, future events or results or otherwise. Although the
