ETRUSCAN RESOURCES INC.

Etruscan Resources reported at the Youga Gold Mine located in Burkina Faso, West Africa poured 13,024 ounces of gold during the second quarter ending May 31, 2009. Mill throughput for the period was 206,283 tonnes at an average grade of 2.35 grams per tonne. Gold production for the first six months of fiscal 2009 aggregated 28,205 ounces from the processing of 415,050 tonnes at an average grade of 2.48 grams per tonne. During the first six months of fiscal 2009 Etruscan sold 30,680 ounces of gold realizing gross revenues of US$21.9 million. Mill throughput and gold production for the second quarter were lower than projected as a result of a combination of reduced availability of the on-site power generators and lower than forecast drill rig availability for blasting.
