These results now complete the 2007 infill drilling program for the North zone. This program was conducted to enable a new resource estimate for this zone to be prepared. The Company has retained resource estimation experts from the consulting company Behre Dolbear to provide an opinion on the categories of the mineral resources at G-9. An updated estimate for the North zone, based on the tighter drill spacing used in the 2007 drill program, is expected by the end of January 2008.

President and CEO Dick Whittington said: "These results reaffirm the grade and tonnage potential of the North zone. Although, the grades are, in general, not as high in the North zone as those for the Southeast zone, there are significant intersections such as 29% zinc in hole 7691 announced in December 2007. This is the highest grade zinc intersection in the G-9 deposit to date. Our objective is to outline 300 - 500,000 tonnes of measured and indicated resources in this zone to give us added flexibility in any mine plans developed prior to a final production decision.

We are looking forward to adding the third drill in early March. We have significantly enhanced the exploration potential by the discovery of the "Abajo" deposit in 2007. We will continue to explore the area north of the San Raphael fault with the goal of advancing our second key exploration objective: finding another G-9-type deposit."

The in-house qualified person for the drilling program and selection of samples for metallurgical testwork at Campo Morado is Daniel Kilby, P.Eng., who has reviewed the contents of this release. ALS Chemex is the analytical laboratory for the project; sample preparation is done in Guadalajara, Mexico and analysis is done in Vancouver, BC. All samples are assayed for gold by fire assay fusion with a gravimetric or Atomic Absorption (AA) finish. Silver, copper, lead, zinc and 27 to 30 additional elements are determined for all samples by acid digestion, followed by an AA or ICP finish. Duplicates are analyzed by Acme Analytical Laboratories in Vancouver.

Farallon is advancing the G-9 deposit through a parallel track program. Exploration drilling is expanding and confirming the high-grade mineralization within the G-9 deposit, and mine planning and design, equipment acquisition and site preparation activities are also taking place with the goal of beginning production in July 2008. The Company has a strong cash position of US$38 million, held in interest earning current accounts with Scotiabank, to support its ongoing programs.

Forward Looking Information
This release includes certain statements that may be deemed "forward-looking statements." All statements in this release, other than statements of historical facts, that address future production, reserve potential, continuity of mineralization, exploration drilling, exploitation activities and events or developments that the Company expects are forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that the expectations expressed in such forward looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those in the forward looking statements. The likelihood of future mining at Campo Morado is subject to a large number of risks and may require achievement of a number of technical, economic and legal objectives, including obtaining lower than expected grades and quantities of mineralization and resources, recovery rates and mining rates, changes in and the effect of government policies with respect to mineral exploration and exploitation, the possibility of adverse developments in the financial markets generally, delays in exploration, development and construction projects, fluctuations in the prices of zinc, gold, silver, copper, lead and other commodities, obtaining additional mining and construction permits, completion of pre-feasibility and final feasibility studies, preparation of all necessary engineering for underground and processing facilities as well as receipt of additional financing to fund mine construction. Such funding may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms or on any terms at all. There is no known ore at Campo Morado and there is no assurance that the mineralization at Campo Morado will ever be classified as ore.
