About Extorre Extorre Gold Mines Limited is a Canadian public company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol "XG".

It is a spin-out entity from Exeter Resource Corporation ( "Exeter") pursuant to a March 11, 2010 shareholder vote to split Exeter into two independently focussed public companies. Extorres assets comprise approximately $25 million in cash plus the Cerro Morro and Don Sixto projects, and all other Exeter exploration properties in Argentina.

Exeter retained all assets relating to the Caspiche gold-copper discovery in Chile, together with approximately $45 million in working capital. Extorre will initially apply for listing on the OTCQX exchange. That listing will be followed by an application to list on the NYSE-Amex.

Listing is subject to Extorre receiving exchange acceptances of its listing application. The Cerro Moro Project in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina is currently 100% owned by Extorre.

The Santa Cruz Government mining company, Fomicruz S.E.

is entitled to a 5% participating interest on completion of mine permitting.

In July, 2009, a NI 43-101 compliant inferred mineral resource estimate was announced for drilling completed to the end of 2008.

The estimate comprised 646,000 ounces gold equivalent at a grade of 18 g/t gold equivalent*, or 0.5 oz/ton gold equivalent*.

Results from 105 in-fill drill holes are awaited, to be followed in April by a new resource estimate. Matthew Williams, Extorres Exploration Manager considered a "qualified person" within the definition of that term in National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, has supervised the preparation of the technical information contained in this news release.

Cautionary Note to United States Investors - The information contained herein and incorporated by reference herein has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian securities laws, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws.

In particular, the term "resource" does not equate to the term "reserve".

The Securities Exchange Commissions (the "SEC") disclosure standards normally do not permit the inclusion of information concerning "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" or "inferred mineral resources" or other descriptions of the amount of mineralization in mineral deposits that do not constitute "reserves" by U.S., unless such information is required to be disclosed by the law of the Companys jurisdiction of incorporation or of a jurisdiction in which its securities are traded.

U.S.

investors should also understand that "inferred mineral resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. Disclosure of "contained ounces" is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute "reserves" by SEC standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.
