NEWS - Molycor Gold Corp. Geochemical Analysis Results Include 24m of 0.08% Mo

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 3, 2008) - Goldrea Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:GOR)(PINK SHEETS:GORAF)(FRANKFURT:GOJ) and Molycor Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:MOR)(PINK SHEETS:MLYFF)(FRANKFURT:M1V) are pleased to announce that diamond drilling in November, 2007 consisted of 9 drill holes ranging from 514-855 feet (156.7-260.6 meters) in depth which have been completed on the Empress porphyry Mo project. The objective of these drill holes are to test a 250 X 250 meter area for molybdenum (and copper-gold) bearing mineralization. Geochemical analysis results from the first 3 drill holes are listed as follows:
 
DDH 07-EMP-1: interval 3-21 m depth 18 m @ 0.077% Mo
 
              interval 33-54 m depth 21 m @ 0.075% Mo
 
              interval 147-153 m depth 6 m @ 0.077% Mo
 
DDH 07-EMP-2: interval 3-27 m depth 24 m @ 0.080% Mo
 
DDH 07-EMP-3: interval 3-24 m depth 21 m @ 0.064% Mo
 
The Empress molybdenum prospect outcrops on the crest of a broad west-trending ridge separating the headwaters of Empress Creek to the northwest from Shinnish Creek to the south. The Empress prospect covers a 730 X 360 meter area (elongated north-south) and consists of widespread, low-grade molybdenum (and copper-gold) bearing sulphide mineralization hosted in Middle Jurassic age, porphyritic biotite-hornblende quartz monzonite of the Osprey Lake Batholith. The Empress occurrence is classified as a Mo (Cu-Au) porphyry characterized by disseminated, fracture filling and quartz vein sulphide mineralization. Significant minerals include molybdenite, pyrite and chalcopyrite with accessory and minor quartz, K-feldspar, sericite, chlorite, kaolinite, and magnetite. Pyrite and molybdenite occur as disseminations and veinlets, and in quartz stringers in a north trending zone. Magnetite and increased K-feldspar is associated with fracture filling mineralization.In 1968, Anaconda Canada Ltd. outlined anomalous stream sediment from the upper Empress Creek area. Follow-up work included soil samples, trenches, seismic geophysics, and 1,122 meters (3,681 feet) of percussion drilling. A summary of significant intercepts from the 15 percussion drill holes Anaconda drilled in 1981 are listed below:

A comparison of % Mo geochemical results from 2007 diamond drill holes (07-EMP-1 to 3), and highlights from 1981 percussion drill holes suggest that recovery of molybdenite mineralization significantly increases with core drilling (diamond drilling) as opposed to percussion drilling (where water has a tendency to rinse away molybdenite). Management plans to collar a diamond drill at the location of percussion drill hole 81-9 in Spring, 2008. Results from diamond drill holes 07-EMP-4 to 9 have not been reported yet. When geochemical analysis is complete, drill holes 07-EMP-4 to 9 will be reported. Andris Kikauka, P.Geo., is the qualified person responsible for reporting Empress project geochemical analysis of drill hole samples.
