Plexmar Resources Inc.: Update on Escondida Project, Ecuador

Thursday August 24, 10:53 am ET

SAINTE-FOY, QUEBEC--(CCNMatthews - Aug. 24, 2006) - Plexmar Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:PLE - News), is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed its due diligence on the Escondida block of properties. Plexmar announced last June 26 that it signed a letter of intent to acquire a block of over 907.5 km2 or prime exploration land located in southeastern Ecuador. It had a period of 60 days to carry out a full due diligence on the property.

The legal due diligence was successfully completed. A team of geologist visited only a small portion of the large property. They focused on an area located within 5 km northeast of Aurelian's Fruta del Norte deposit and took 44 samples (See maps attached). The visit confirmed that all of the visited areas contained primary and secondary gold. An alluvial gold deposit has been identified grading a minimum of 0.3 g/m3. Some of the Escondida concessions are crossed by volcanic rocks from the jurassic period similar to Aurelian's Fruta del Norte deposit.

The samples were taken on surface and in small pits. Four samples returned valued of over 10 g/t Au, final values are still pending from the Assay lab. Fiver other samples returned values ranging from 0.30 g/t to 1.23 g/t Au. Below are the best chosen samples
