Tasca Acquires Land Package Contiguous to the Moosehead Gold Project’s New Gold Discovery Located in Newfoundland, Canada

Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Tasca Resources Ltd. ("Tasca" or the "Company") (TSX.V: TAC, FSE: 3TA) is pleased to announce that the Company has acquired the Beaverhead Claims (“Agreement”) that is contiguous to the Moosehead Gold Project located close to the town of Grand Falls-Windsor in North-Central Newfoundland.

The newly acquired property is 2.5 km long by 1.5 km wide and traverses the TransCanada Highway and Bay d’Espoir Highway (Route 360). The property is contiguous to the northwest of the Sokoman Iron Corp. (SIC-TSX.V) Moosehead Gold Project, where Sokoman recently reported a drill intersection of 44.96 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 11.9 metres.

Tasca cautions investors mineralization on the Moosehead property is not necessarily indicative of similar mineralization on its newly acquired claim block. Tasca further cautions investors it has not verified the Sokoman exploration data.

President Clive Massey states, "On July 24, Sokoman Iron issued a news release announcing a new quartz vein discovery that caught our attention. Drill hole MH-18-01 reported 50 specks of visible gold ranging from less than a millimetre to 2 millimetres in diameter. However, the mineralization hosted on the Sokoman property is not necessarily indicative of the mineralization hosted on our property. Tasca made the decision to ensure our shareholders had exposure to what we feel may perhaps be a burgeoning area of interest.”

The Sokoman intersection consisted of quartz veining at a down hole depth of 109m to 120.9m. Visible gold was noted in the quartz veining. True width is not known but appears to be 50% to 80%.

The Moosehead and Tasca property lies along a northeast trending 150km belt of Silurian volcanics, volcaniclastics and sediments rocks. Mineralization in the Moosehead area is associated with east-west trending quartz veins associated with a north dipping fault system.

Under the terms of the Agreement, Tasca has agreed to purchase a 100% interest in the Beaverhead Claims by paying $7,500 and issuing 2,000,000 million shares on approval of the Agreement by the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”). Tasca plans to immediately undertake a preliminary prospecting program to identify targets for follow up.
