Mazorro Resources and Adventure Gold Report 1.2 g/t Au Over 156.9 Metres on Lapaska Property, East of Val-d'Or, Quebec

OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - June 16, 2011) -Mazorro Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MZO)(FRANKFURT:JAM) ("MZO" or "Mazorro") and Adventure Gold (TSX VENTURE:AGE) ("AGE") are pleased to to report positive gold results from the first two holes of its ongoing surface drilling program on the Lapaska Gold Property (the "Property"). The Property, located 20 km east of Val-d'Or in the prolific Abitibi Greenstone Belt, is wholly-owned by AGE and under option to MZO.

The best gold intersections, in core length, yielded values of:

• Hole LP-11-16: 1.0 g/t Au over 103.4 metres, including a section grading 10.3 g/t Au over 3.8 metres at 69.0 metres depth, within a gold halo of 0.3 g/t Au over 564.1 metres; and

• Hole LP-11-17: 1.2 g/t Au over 156.9 metres, including a section grading 5.8 g/t Au over 3.9 metres and 4.7 g/t Au over 7.1 metres at 52.5 and 92.5 metres depth respectively, within a gold halo of 0.8 g/t Au over 245.5 metres.

"These two holes confirm the potential for a large gold system at the Lapaska Central Zone. Preliminary results are impressive and a gold halo of 0.3 g/t Au over 564 metres suggests a strong gold system. We will continue the drilling, with our partner AGE, in order to extend the zone in all directions", stated Andre Audet, President and CEO of Mazorro.

Significant drilling results for the first two holes are presented in Table 1 and a longitudinal section of the recently performed drilling is attached (see Figure 1: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/Lapaska_map_0616.pdf). These two diamond drill holes oriented at 280º and dipping at -52º were drilled perpendicular to the strike of the vein system in the Lapaska Central Zone.

Gold mineralization in the Central Zone is associated with a network of quartz-carbonate-tourmaline-pyrite veins and veinlets dipping to the east, largely hosted in a magnetic silicified felsic volcanic unit. Gold mineralization is similar to that observed at the Sigma II former producing gold mine, located 5 kilometres to the east. Measurements taken with a core orientation tool indicate the presence of two vein systems. The first system is N-trending and the second one is ENE-trending. A stacking of veins spaced every 0.5 to 2.0 metres is observed in the best mineralized zones. These holes were entirely assayed from top to bottom in order to fully characterize the gold content of the Lapaska Central Zone due to the fact that historical drill holes were never fully assayed.

The Lapaska Property

The Property is favourably located between the past-producing Sigma II gold deposit to the east (161,300 ounces at 2.7 g/t Au: MRNF - SIGEOM Database), which was mined by open pit method, and the Simkar gold deposit to the west (NI 43-101 inferred resource of 105,000 oz at 5.3 g/t Au: Megastar – MDV: TSX-V, September 2008). The Property contains three significant gold-bearing zones: the Lapaska Central, West and Lourmet zones and is also strategically located along the prolific Cadillac-Larder Lake Gold Break, a regionally extensive structure that is spatially related to numerous gold mines.

A NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate has been completed by InnovExplo (March 22, 2011) on the Lapaska Central Zone. Table 2 below shows the variations with respect to metric tonnes, gold ounces and grades for various cut-off grades in the Inferred Resources of the Lapaska deposit (Central Zone).

Jules Riopel, P.Geo., Vice-President Exploration and Acquisitions of Adventure Gold Inc. is acting as the "Qualified Person" as defined by NI 43-101 and has reviewed this press release and has supervised the drilling program. Assay samples were taken from NQ core sawed in half, with one half sent to AGAT Laboratories in Mississauga, Ontario, a commercial laboratory, and the other half retained for future reference. A strict QA/QC program was applied to all samples, which included mineralized standards and blank samples for each batch of 25 samples. The gold analyses were completed by fire assay with an atomic absorption finish on 50 grams of material. Repeats were carried out by fire assay followed by gravimetric testing on each sample containing 3.0 g/t gold or more. Total gold analyses (Metallic Sieve) were carried out on samples that showed a great variation in gold content or the presence of visible gold.
