Teryl Resources Announces a US$1.6 Million 2009 Exploration Budget for the Gil Joint Venture Gold Claims, Fairbanks, Alaska
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 17, 2009) -

Teryl Resources Corp. -
(TSX VENTURE:TRC)(OTCBB:TRYLF) is pleased to announce a US$1,644,000 2009 budget has been approved by our joint venture partner Fairbanks Gold Mining, Inc. (FGMI), a subsidiary of Kinross Gold Corporation, on the Gil joint venture claims, as follows:

The 2009 Gil Project Exploration Program has three major goals:

1. Ground magnetometer survey concentrating on Sourdough Ridge.

2. Delineate mineralized zones and establish a resource base at Sourdough Ridge.

3. Expand resource at North Gil.

The goal of the 2009 program is to further delineate the strike extension of the mineralized zone, and to infill between step-out holes, in order to gain a better understanding of ore-zone continuity, and to establish a resource base. The 2009 work plan calls for ground geophysics, 10,000 feet of RC drilling, and 6,000 feet of HQ-NQ core drilling. Drillhole collar locations will be selected upon completion of the geophysical survey. In addition, samples will be collected for a preliminary column leach study.

The geophysical survey will begin in March 2009. The remainder of the program will begin in mid-April and will extend through the end of 2009. The bulk of the expenditures will be in 2Q and 3Q.

To date, a total of US$7,500,000 has been expended by the joint venture partners, with Teryl and Kinross accounting for 20% and 80% respectively of total expenditures.
