ARMISTICE RESOURCES ANNOUNCES POSITIVE DRILLING RESULTS AT MCGARRY GOLD MINE IN KIRKLAND LAKE AREA



P*RESS RELEASE ARMISTICE RESOURCES CORP.

For Immediate Release*
** *Armistice Resources Announces Positive Drilling Results * *at McGarry Gold Mine in Kirkland Lake Area* * Results meet or exceed company�s expectations; identify high-grade intersections * Preliminary drilling results indicate the 325 gold zone is considerably larger than company had expected Toronto, Ontario, January 5, 2009 � Armistice Resources Corp.

(TSX: AZ), which is moving rapidly toward beginning gold production at its McGarry Mine in the Kirkland Lake area of Northeastern Ontario, today announced that the preliminary results of a recently completed drilling program on the property have met or exceeded the company�s expectations. In late October 2009 Armistice Resources began a significant exploration drilling program at its McGarry gold mine project.

The drilling program is designed to test the extension of the existing mineralized package as well as to test for possible new parallel structures. �We now have completed the first phase of this new drilling program and are very encouraged with the preliminary results, which have met or exceeded our expectations,� said Todd J.

Morgan, President and Chief Executive Officer.

�Following the drilling regime that was recommended in the NI 43-101 Technical Report, dated April 8, 2009 (filed on SEDAR), we have been able to confirm good intersections and now have further increased our confidence level of the McGarry Mine project.

In fact, the preliminary drilling results indicate that the 325 gold zone at the mine is considerably larger than we had expected. �With this first drilling phase completed, we are going to take some weeks to complete the logging, assaying, and interpretation of the results.

When we have completed this additional analysis, including for the Mill Zone and McGarry surface drilling, we will announce our findings. �We will proceed early in 2010 with a second phase of the exploration drilling program towards helping us to determine the additional potential that we believe exists for our McGarry Mine project,� Mr.

Morgan continued.

�Subject to our obtaining additional capital in 2010, amounting to about $15 million, we plan to proceed later in the year with pre-production development, leading to full production later in the year or in the first part of 2011.� _Results of Phase One of New Drilling Program_ Armistice Resources has completed 16,584 feet of drilling in 36 holes at the McGarry Mine project.

This drilling includes 4,099 feet in seven holes from surface in the Mill Zone, located approximately 3,000 feet south of the current mine workings; 10,242 feet in 15 holes from surface on the potential upwards extension of the identified Mineral Resources between sections 175W and 450W of the shaft; and 2,243 feet in 14 underground holes from the west end of the 325 Drift on the 2250 Level. 325 West Zone Armistice Resources has not yet completed the logging and assaying of all the holes, however, results from three underground holes are available and tabulated below.

The new holes, 325-01, 325-02, and 325-03 were all drilled from the western end of the 325 Drift with flat dips.

These holes targeted a gold zone within 200 feet of the end of the 325 Drift that had been identified in the 2008 drilling from the 260 Drift and previously reported (shown on the attached plan map). The holes testing the 325 Zone provide information for a preliminary interpretation of the geometry of the zone at the 2250 elevation and will guide future mining development and stope definition drilling layouts.

Assay results are very encouraging and demonstrate the high grade potential of the deposit and the need for drill spacing at 25- to 50-foot intervals for gold zone definition. The table below summarizes the significant assay intervals for the 325, 370, and 260 gold zones west of the 260 and 325 Drifts between 1250 and 1600 west on the mine grid at the 2250 elevation. *rill Hole (Year)*

325 West All the assay intervals reported are drill core intervals.

True widths have not been estimated since the final interpreted geometry of the zones is yet to be determined.

The attached plan map provides a visual guide to the relevance of each assay interval to the gold zone definitions. _Quality Control and Quality Assurance Process_ Armistice Resources maintains procedures for Quality Control and Quality Assurance.

These procedures including sawing the core in half and retaining half for archive reference.

The other half is assayed using standard fire assay techniques with AA finish.

For every 20 samples submitted for assay, one sample is quarter sawn and each quarter is submitted to separate labs for independent analysis.

All samples assaying over 0.10 oz/t are re-assayed and average is used.

For each 20 samples submitted, one blank is also submitted for control.

All samples are sent to a recognized independent assay laboratory. _Qualified Person_ The exploration program reported on here is supervised and managed by Erik Andersen, P.Eng., Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer of Armistice Resources and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.

Mr.

Andersen has reviewed and approved this news release. *About Armistice Resources Corp.* * *Armistice Resources, a Canadian-based exploration and development company, is moving rapidly toward beginning gold production at its McGarry Mine in the Kirkland Lake area of Northeastern Ontario.
