• 48 meters of 1.30 g/t gold in KTD 187

• 1 meter of 52.57 g/t gold in KTD 185

EDMONTON, Alberta; Jan. 21, 2010 - Mindoro Resources Ltd. (TSXV: MIO; Frankfurt: WKN 906167) is pleased to report results from the final seven drill holes of a fourteen hole due diligence program carried out by Avocet Mining PLC on the Kay Tanda epithermal gold-silver resource, Archangel Project, Philippines. Avocet also provided an upgraded resource estimate which Mindoro is having reviewed by an independent consultant prior to its release in the near future.

Results from the last seven drill holes are summarized in the table below using a cut-off of 0.3 grams per tonne (g/t) gold. Results are largely as expected based on previous drilling by Mindoro, and confirm continuity of near-surface low-grade gold-silver mineralization. Several holes were drilled outside or on the margins of presently known mineralization. Noteworthy intercepts include 48 meters of 1.30 g/t gold in KTD 187, 28 meters at 0.58 g/t gold, in KTD 184, and 1 meter of 52.57 g/t gold in KTD 185.

Avocet targeted the projected up-dip extensions of high-grade gold vein sets, previously intersected at deeper levels by Mindoro, into a conceptual open-pit. The conceptual pit was centered on the near-surface low-grade stockwork mineralization. The high-grade vein sets, which are probably feeder zones to the gold system, do not extend into such shallow levels. The resource remains open to the north, west and to depth. In addition, interpreted porphyry copper-gold related mineralization has previously been intersected by Mindoro at depth in Kay Tanda.

ABOUT KAY TANDA

Kay Tanda is being evaluated for its open-pit, heap-leach potential. Prior to Avocet's due diligence program, Mindoro had completed 147 reverse circulation and 26 core drill holes at Kay Tanda. Almost all holes encountered near-surface, generally flat-lying to gently-dipping blanket-like low-grade stockwork mineralization. This is strongly to partially oxidized to depths of 40 to 160 meters and non-oxide below this. Drilling, especially at deeper levels, encountered at least five steeply-dipping much higher-grade zones with grades to 246 g/t gold and over 1,000 g/t silver. These are interpreted as structurally controlled upflow, or "feeder" zones. These feeder zones appear to trend NW to SE, at right angles to the dominantly NE to SW trending lower grade stockwork system.

On February 6, 2008, Mindoro released a NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate reporting a total inferred resource of 11,599,000 tonnes at 0.70 g/t gold and 3.0 g/t silver (262,000 contained ounces gold) and a total indicated resource of 3,365,000 tonnes at 0.88 g/t gold and 8.0 g/t silver (95,000 contained ounces gold). As noted, an upgraded resource estimate will be released in the near future.

ABOUT MINDORO

Mindoro is a Tier 1 Issuer trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (MIO) and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (WKN 906167). Mindoro is focused on exploration in the Philippines with a strategy of advancing early stage opportunities to production or joint venture. Mindoro controls major nickel laterite resources in the Surigao District, Mindanao, where potential for a direct shipping ore (DSO) operation to generate early cash flow is being investigated as well as long term potential for an onsite processing plant. Mindoro also has NI 43-101 resource estimates on both its Lobo (SWB) and Archangel (Kay Tanda) gold-silver projects. Mindoro has identified 22 porphyry copper-gold prospects and has three joint venture projects with Gold Fields in the Batangas area, Philippines.

In addition to advancing the nickel laterite projects, drilling funded by Gold Fields is in progress on the El Paso copper-gold project and soon to start on the Lobo project. Drilling has recently been competed on the American Tunnels gold and copper-gold targets. Mindoro is assessing various alternatives to commercialize the Kay Tanda gold resource in the best interests of the shareholders. Other objectives include finalizing joint venture arrangements on Mindoro's porphyry copper-gold prospects at Surigao.
