Gold-Ore Resources Ltd. is pleased to provide operational highlights for the first quarter of 2010 (three month period ending February 28, 2010) at the 100%-owned Bjorkdal Gold Mine in Sweden. During the period a total of 10,065 ounces of gold were recovered and this marks the second consecutive quarter with greater than 10,000 ounces recovered. Financial results from the first quarter will be released within 45 days.

Glen Dickson, CEO comments "Steady improvements at the mine have generated another strong quarter and all indications are that cash flow and gold production will continue to be strong over the coming quarters. During the next few months the operations team will be testing some new mining methods based on observations made by senior staff at several Canadian underground gold mines. These efforts are designed to reduce dilution, improve grades and gold production and have the potential to make a significant positive impact to the operation".

Gold production during the period was on target at over 40,000 ounces on an annualized basis. Tonnes processed in the plant during the first quarter were impacted by an unusually long cold period in January and February resulting in a daily processing average of 3,088 tonnes per day. With improved weather in late February plant throughput averaged over 3,300 tonnes per day in the first half of March, and represents a 10% increase in tonnes processed and better reflects capacity in the plant.
