East West Resource Corporation: Copper Zone Confirmed on Teck Hill 550 Metres East of Gazooma Discovery Marshall Lake Camp Thunder Bay, Ontario

Posted on: Thursday, 21 June 2007, 09:03 CDT

East West Resource Corporation (TSX VENTURE: EWR) and its joint venture partner Eyeconomy Holdings PLC (UKPLUS: EYE) are pleased to announce the results of drill hole TK-07-2 in the Teck Hill area of the Marshall Lake copper zinc volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) camp.

A 0.75m band of semi-massive chalcopyrite (copper) followed by 27m of stringer and disseminated chalcopyrite was intersected on the down dip extension of the original Teck Hughes copper discovery, 100m to the north, made by Walter Baker in 1954. An airborne EM conductor 50m to the east suggests the possible presence of other conductive massive sulphides in the immediate area. Hole TK-07-2 is located on a claim purchased from Teck Cominco Limited (see NR December 4, 2006) and is 50m south of the boundary of a claim held by the joint venture.

It is now apparent from trenching that a wide spread copper system occurs at Teck Hill and the IP (induced polarization) anomaly which links the Teck Hill showings with Gazooma creates a 600m long copper target.

When analysing for base metal and silver values (Copper, Zinc and Silver) were determined by ICP (inductively coupled plasma) after an aqua regia acid digestion. Assays exceeding 100 grams silver and 10,000 parts per million (ppm) copper were repeated using multi acid digestion and atomic absorption (AA). Check assays were run on high values. A standard sample is submitted for verification of accuracy. Gold values were determined by fire assay extraction on 30-gram samples followed by an AA finish.

ALS Chemex in Thunder Bay carried out preparations of the samples outlined in this news release and ALS Chemex in North Vancouver carried out assaying.

The project set out above is being supervised by R. Middleton, P.Eng, who is the qualified person and responsible for quality control of the assaying and reporting. Detailed assays for this drill hole are available on the company's website at www.eastwestres.com.

About the Marshall Lake Camp:

East West Resource Corporation and Eyeconomy Holdings PLC each hold a 50% interest in the all year round road accessible Marshall Lake Copper Zinc VMS camp located 310 kilometers north of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada.

The Marshall Lake area was explored between 1954 and 1996 leading to a series of historic high grade near surface copper zinc discoveries. The exploration area is more than forty-three square miles.

This historic mineral property became road accessible after 2000 following the completion of all weather roads by logging operators. Access now permits the deployment of heavy digging equipment, modern geophysical tools and significantly reduces exploration costs.

During the second half of 2006 the joint venture partners built a network of drill access trails focusing on exposing the existing showings which resulted in a major VMS copper zinc discovery at Gazooma on the Marshall Lake Camp in December 2006.

The partner's long-term strategy is to define and develop near surface base metal resources on the property while considering the deeper potential of the property as the database is developed. The joint venture partners each contribute 50% to ongoing exploration expenditure.
