DOT Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: DOT) ("DOT" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that it will be expanding its 2009 diamond drilling program on its 4,800 acre, 100% owned Dot porphyry copper +/- molybdenum, gold, silver property located 17 kilometres south of the Highland Valley Mining District, in south-central British Columbia.

The previously announced 2009 diamond drilling program has been completed. The planned program consisted of drilling up to 10 holes for a total 3,000 metres ("m"). The actual program completed was 11 holes for a total of 3,400 m. The holes drilled ranged in depths from 250 to 450 metres.

Of the 11 holes drilled, 5 were on the Southwest Zone, 4 on the West Zone and 2 on the Northwest Zone. While limited assay results have been received from 6 of the 11 holes, the data has yet to be compiled and interpreted.

DOT anticipates expanding the drilling program by at least 900 m (3 holes). Given success, additional holes could be drilled. The first of the holes to be completed in 2010 was collared on January 8, 2010.

"We are very encouraged by the visual inspection of core from our diamond drilling program," stated John J. Komarnicki, Chairman and CEO of DOT. "As a result, DOT has decided to continue this drilling program into 2010 to take advantage of drilling what we believe to be other highly perspective targets."

It is anticipated that the analytical results will be received and interpreted before the end of January. Once completed, the detailed results will be made available thereafter.

The objective of the ongoing drilling program is to test geophysical targets that are interpreted to be areas of copper mineralization. DOT's current independent reported NI 43-101 mineral resource base at a 0.20% copper cut-off is 4.47 million tonnes of Indicated resource grading 0.42% copper, 2.90 g/t silver, 0.04 g/t gold and 0.01% molybdenum (0.56% copper equivalent) and 2.39 million tonnes of Inferred resource grading 0.4% copper, 2.89 g/t silver, 0.03 g/t gold and 0.004% molybdenum (0.51% copper equivalent) (see DOT News Release dated May 27, 2009).
