Currie Rose Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CUI) announces the identification of
significant structures on two Joint Venture gold properties in Tanzania. Currie
Rose Resources Inc. is the managing partner of both of the Joint Ventures.


LAKE VICTORIA JV

The Mabale Hills project in central Tanzania (see Mabale prospect map at
http://www.currierose.com) forms part of the Lake Victoria Joint Venture (LVJV)
with ASX-listed Sub-Sahara Resources. Interpretations of geological,
aeromagnetic, radiometric and induced polarization (IP) geophysical data have
led to a refined interpretation of the geology and structures in the Mabale
Hills Project that should allow for the expansion of the Mwamazengo Discovery
and other prospects.


The new interpretation indicates that the Mwamazengo Discovery is located on the
axial surface trace of a regional upright fold where it is strongly deflected
and tightened in proximity to a major shear zone. Shear deformation and
brecciation is common in the core of the fold. IP data show that mineralization
is associated with rock units that have moderate to high chargeabilities,
indicating disseminated sulfides hosted in sheared BIF (banded iron formation)
and sheared leucogranite. Previous results of Rotary Air Blast (RAB), Reverse
Circulation (RC) and diamond drilling programs in the now-recognized fold at the
Mwamazengo Discovery, include MBNR001: 34m @ 3.60 g/t; MBNR007: 12m @ 9.11 g/t;
MBNR015: 63m @ 2.59 g/t; MBND001: 31m @ 5.97 g/t. The new structural
interpretation predicts that the drilling sampled the margins of a potential
deposit that would be located along strike of the fold. Exploration in 2009 will
target that extension of the Mwamazengo Discovery with the goal of defining a
large tonnage deposit.


The Mabale Hills project is hosted in a similar part of the Upper Archean
stratigraphy to the 14.6 Moz Geita Gold Mine (situated approximately 80 km to
the west of Mabale Hills), the 0.5 Moz Kitongo deposit (10 km to the north of
Mabale Hills), and the 2.2 Moz Golden Ridge deposit (30 km SSW of Mabale Hills).


SEKENKE JV

The Iramba Plateau project is part of the Sekenke Joint Venture (SJV; see
Sekenke prospect map at http://www.currierose.com) with Sekenke Resources Ltd.
of Dar es Salaam. The Iramba Plateau is a horst (uplifted block of crust) within
the East African rift system. The geology of the Iramba Plateau consists of Late
Archean basalts, metasedimentary rocks, schists derived from acid volcanic
rocks, BIF and granites. The SJV has identified a 12,000 m X 800 m highly
prospective structure of sheared metabasalts that hosts numerous quartz reefs.
Assay results from rock chip samples indicate significant Au anomalies in the
quartz reefs.


The Kirondatal Mine (1934-1950; average grade 8.9 g/t Au) is situated in a
similar structure on the Iramba Plateau. The Sekenke Mine, the oldest and
longest producing gold mine in Tanzania (1909-1959; average grade 15.4 g/t Au)
is also hosted in sheared metabasites within the down-dropped rocks of the
Wembere Depression, a graben (down-dropped block of crust) adjacent to the
Iramba Plateau.


In 2009, the LVJV will focus exploration efforts on the newly identified
Mwamazengo structure with the goal of defining a large tonnage deposit, mineable
using open pit methods. The SJV will focus its exploration efforts on the Iramba
Plateau structure with the goal of defining a new high-grade discovery in
steeply dipping packages of quartz reefs, with the potential for exploitation by
open pit methods.
