Trelawney Intersects 170.20 Metres of 1.01 g/t Gold Extends Strike of Mineralization 300 Metres Southwest of Initial Resource
TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 05/26/11 -- Trelawney Mining and Exploration Inc. (the 'Company' or 'Trelawney') (TSX VENTURE: TRR)(FRANKFURT: RTW) announces additional drill results from the Cote Lake Deposit on the Chester Project located halfway between Timmins and Sudbury in northern Ontario. Highlights of the current drilling include:
-- Hole E11-50 - 117.00 metres of 1.05 g/t gold
-- Hole E11-55 - 72.00 metres of 2.25 g/t gold
-- Hole E11-56 - 153.00 metres of 1.64 g/t gold
-- Hole E11-57 - 133.00 metres of 1.10 g/t gold
-- Hole E11-63 - 170.20 metres of 1.01 g/t gold
Expansion drilling of the Cote Lake Deposit continues to intersect wide zones of low to moderate grade gold mineralization. The majority of the results released today are expansion holes to the inferred resource of the Cote Lake Deposit which currently stands at 131 million tonnes grading 1.0 g/t gold for a total of 4.2 million ounces gold as reported in Trelawney's press release dated March 7, 2011. Hole E11-63, collared on section 86 00E (along with results from the April 4, 2011 press release) has extended the mineralization 300 metres to the southwest along strike of the inferred resource. The majority of the remaining holes expand on the mineralization closer to the current resource as noted in the attached table.
Including drill results released today, mineralization of the Cote Lake Deposit has now been intersected over a strike-length of 1,000 metres and remains open along strike, and at depth on all sections that have been drilled. In section the zone attains widths of up to 300 metres. The mineralization delineated by drilling to date coincides well with a NE-SW-trending IP anomaly. Results of the IP survey over the Cote Lake Deposit area suggest additional strike extensions of the mineralization are possible. Trelawney continues to follow the mineralization along this trend by diamond drilling.
The Cote Lake Deposit consists of low to moderate grade gold /- copper mineralization which is associated with brecciated intermediate to felsic, and locally mafic intrusive rocks. Mineralization occurs in the form of disseminated and fracture-controlled sulfides which generally correlate to the gold values. Visible gold is commonly observed. The zones are bleached with the prevalent alteration being feldspathic, chloritic and biotitic. The nature of the alteration and mineralization is indicative of a porphyry-style deposit.
The expansion and exploration drill program continues with four drills currently working on the Cote Lake Deposit. Three drills continue with the expansion drilling and the fourth commencing infill drilling. A fifth drill is currently testing other historical occurrences on the property.
Greg Gibson, Trelawney's President and CEO commented, 'We are very pleased with the results of this portion of the expansion drilling. These results continue to confirm our belief that our initial resource estimate can be significantly expanded. We will continue to test the limits of the resource to the full potential of this exciting discovery. As we continue to drill we have also initiated various environmental and engineering studies to aid in moving the project forward as quickly as possible.'

Trelawney Mining and Exploration has implemented a Quality-Control, Quality Assurance program to ensure best practice principals are being applied in the sampling and analysis of the drill core. Samples are crushed to -8 mesh then a 1,000 gram subset of each sample is pulverized to 90% passing -150 mesh. Assays have been completed using a standard fire assay with a 30 gram aliquot and an AA finish. For samples that return values of between two to five grams per tonne gold, another pulp is taken and fire assayed with a gravimetric finish. Samples returning values greater than five grams per tonne are re-analyzed by pulp metallic analysis NQ size drill core is saw cut, and half the drill core is sampled in standard intervals. The remaining half of the core is stored in a secure location. The drill core is transported in security-sealed bags to the Accurassay prep lab in Sudbury, Ontario by Trelawney personnel. Accurassay is an ISO/IEC 17025 certified Laboratory by the Standards Council of Canada. In addition to quality assurance controls at the laboratory, blanks and certified standards have been inserted into the sample stream at random intervals.
David Beilhartz, Vice President, Exploration for Trelawney Mining and Exploration, a Qualified Person under NI 43-101, has prepared or supervised the scientific or technical information for the property and verified the data disclosed in this press release.
