Drilling Commenses With Two Diamond Drills First Round 2008

Newmac Resources Inc. (TSX-V: NER) is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced at the Crazy Fox Molybdenum Project, which is ideally located 100 km North of Kamloops, British Columbia.

This initial program will use two diamond drills to drill from up to 14 currently permitted sites. Both drills are now on the property.  The first drill is drilling diamond drill hole CF08-44 at –75 degrees to the west from a collar point 126 m to the west of CF07-41.  The second drill is located 445 meters to the west of CF07-41, and will be drilled to the east at –85 degrees.

Hole CF07-41, Reported previously penetrated a low angle thrust fault at approximately 390 m (1280 feet) and encountered mineralized intrusive rocks to the bottom of the hole at a depth of 1021m (3349 feet). Summary results for the hole are as follows:

Hole 07-41	From (m)	To (m)	Interval (m)	Interval (ft)	MoS2 (%)	Mo (%)	W (%)
Intercept	400.7	830.7	430	1410	0.17	0.10	0.01
Including	646.7	796.7	150	492	0.29	0.18	0.01
Including	708.7	756.7	48	157	0.48	0.29	0.01
Including	708.7	722.7	14	46	0.96	0.58	0.01

Hole CF 07-41 intersected mineralized intrusive rock in the lower plate of a thrust fault extending the prospective area of molybdenum-tungsten mineralization for an unknown distance to the north, west, south and to depth.

The mineralization encountered can be described as both disseminated and stockwork in style, with molybdenite and wolframite occurring as disseminated blebs and streaks and in the selvages of centimeter scale quartz veinlets and smaller fractures trending in several orientations. Occasional veinlets of massive molybdenite up to several centimeters in width have also been noted.

Core from CF04-41 will be displayed at a "core shack" display on Tuesday, Jan. 29, 2008, at the Cordilleran Roundup to be held at the Bayshore Resort and Marina in Vancouver British Columbia.

Assays were performed by Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd. of Vancouver, B.C., a certified facility, using a phosphoric acid leach with ICP-ES spectrometry methods.
