   Lara Outlines Primary Tin Mineralization at São Lourenço 
 ======================================================================= 
 March 20, 2008
 Lara Exploration ("Lara" or the "Company") is pleased to report that it 
 has sampled widespread primary tin mineralization associated with vein 
 stockworks in the alkali-granites of the Serra Isaac and Serra Irene 
 hills at São Lourenço in Rondônia State, Northwest Brazil. 
 Approximately 20% of the grid area sampled to date has returned values 
 in excess of 0.1% cassiterite (tin oxide SnO2), of which approximately 
 half has returned values in excess of 0.2% cassiterite. 
 
 The Company has completed a Phase-1 exploration program at São Lourenço 
 comprising a 200 meter by 50 meter sampling grid (with partial infill 
 to 100 meters) over the exposed surfaces of the Serra Isaac and Serra 
 Irene hills, which sit within the old mining area and are considered to 
 have been the source rocks for the placer tin mined in the past. The 
 target granites are exposed over an area of approximately 3,800 meters 
 by 1,000 meters, with a river (probably following a fault) separating 
 the two hills. Mineralization, in the form of the tin oxide 
 cassiterite, is hosted by zones of sheeted quartz and rhyolite veining 
 and in their surrounding alteration (greisen) halos. Serra Irene also 
 has a wide area of sulphide mineralization comprising pyrite, 
 chalcopyrite, sphalerite and galena. 
 
 The Company plans a Phase-2 program of infill sampling, geophysics, 
 trenching and bulk sampling in the coming months, to define 
 near-surface resources and drill targets. 
 
 Miles Thompson, President and CEO of Lara says, "We are very excited 
 about these results as they indicate that we may be able to quickly 
 define a significant, near surface, tin resource at São Lourenço, at a 
 time of tight supply and record tin prices." 
 
 The São Lourenço mine operated in the 1970's and 1980's, producing 
 approximately 12,000 tonnes of tin from placer (alluvial) mining. In 
 January 2007, the Company signed an option agreement to purchase 100% 
 of the São Lourenço mining rights for approximately US$1.07 million 
 (~US$48,000 paid to date) payable over three years. 
 
 Quality Control 
 
 This Phase-1 program comprised chip, channel and grab samples, 
 depending on whether the exposure sampled comprised vein material, 
 weathered (saprolite) or fresh granite. Samples were prepared and 
 analyzed using X-Ray Fluorescence at the commercial SGS-Geosol 
 Laboratory in Belo Horizonte (Minas Gerais State), with blank, standard 
 and duplicate samples included for QAQC purposes. Semiquantitative 
 mineralogical analyses were also undertaken at the State University of 
 Rio de Janeiro.
