Underworld Intersects 3.2 g/t Au over 44.5 meters at White Gold Property

Marketwired
Underworld Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: UW) is pleased to announce
that results have been received from nine additional holes drilled
during the Phase 1 campaign at the White Gold Property. At Golden
Saddle, extensions to gold mineralization down-dip and along strike
to the northeast have been confirmed. Two additional holes at the
Arc Zone demonstrate continuity of mineralization discovered in
2008. Drill hole location plans and cross sections are available at
www.underworldresources.com. The table below provides further
details.
Golden Saddle
Highlight of the Golden Saddle results is WD09-32 which returned
3.16 g/t Au over 44.5 meters from 179.5 meters and extends the
Golden Saddle 'upper zone' further down dip. WD09-32 is located 60
meters down dip from WD08-21 which returned 3.2 g/t Au over 50.7
meters.
WD09-34 which returned 1.4 g/t Au over 29.50 meters demonstrates
extension of the mineralized zone further to the north east.
WD09-38 intersected 0.95 g/t Au over 153.0 meters, including higher
grade upper and lower intervals, including over 3.1 g/t Au over
17.2 meters and 4.1 g/t Au over 16.0 meters. WD09-38 intersected
the Golden Saddle Zone 60 meters up-dip from WD09-34.
WD09-30 was drilled up-dip from the same collar location as
WD09-31, which intersected 3.4 g/t Au over 104.0 meters. WD09-30
returned 0.6 g/t Au over 70.9 meters, including 2.1 g/t Au over 7.0
meters but the zone was truncated by an altered and sheared
ultramafic unit or dyke, which is interpreted to be a poor host
rock to the gold mineralization within the Golden Saddle Zone.
Two drills are currently working on the 6,000 meter 2009 Phase 2
program. Assays are pending for four additional holes at Golden
Saddle including WD09-44, 45 and 47 which tested for further
extensions to the northeast spanning an additional 120 meters of
strike length.
Arc Zone
At the Arc Zone, located two kilometers southeast of Golden
Saddle assays for two of five holes drilled in the 2009 Phase 1
drill campaign have been received. WD09-37 and 39 are located
between holes WD08-14 and 17 drilled in 2008. WD09-37 returned 1.32
g/t Au over 31.5 meters from 123.5 meters while WD09-39 returned
1.51 g/t Au over 14.5 meters from 78 meters. These holes complement
WD08-14 and WD08-17 and confirm continuity of mineralization over a
strike distance of 600 meters. Two of the three additional holes at
Arc with assays pending were tested extensions to the zone further
south of hole WD08-14, while hole WD09-42 was located north of
WD09-37 and 39 to test for extension to the north and a possible
link between Arc Zone and Golden Saddle.

The Upper Zone mineralization at Golden Saddle is preferentially
hosted within a deformed intrusive unit (augen gneiss), and to a
lesser degree within schists and amphibolites. Gold mineralization
is associated with quartz breccias, veins and stockworks, as well
as silica, sericite, K-feldspar, and ankerite alteration. Sulphide
mineralization is dominated by disseminated and stockwork pyrite,
with local visible gold, chalcopyrite and molybdenite.
The 2009 Phase 2 drill program is continuing with two drills.
Fourteen holes have been completed at Golden Saddle in 2009 with
holes 47 and 48 in progress. The current focus of drilling is to
extend the Golden Saddle mineralization. Additional step-out drill
holes are being planned in all directions.
Upon receipt of assays from the remaining three Arc Zone holes
drilled in the 2009 Phase 1 program, additional infill and step-out
drill holes will be planned.
Exploration work including mechanical trenching is continuing on
several other targets at the White Gold Property prior to drill
testing during the summer of 2009. Underworld intends to complete a
NI43-101 Resource Estimate on the Arc and Golden Saddle Zones in
Q3/09.
Quality Assurance
Underworld has implemented a rigorous QA/QC program at the White
Gold Property using best industry practice. Elements of the program
include chain of custody of samples, standard and blank samples are

Exploration Program is directed by Adrian Fleming, M.A.I.G, RPGeo,
M.Aus.I.M.M., President of Underworld Resources and a Qualified
Person as defined by NI43-101. Mr. Fleming prepared, and approves
of the content of this release.
Underworld Resources is a well-structured junior exploration
company targeting precious metals in the Americas.

Forward Looking Statement
Some of the statements contained in this press release are
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not
historical facts and are subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties beyond the Company's control, including, but not
exclusively, statements regarding potential mineralization,
exploration results, completion of work program and studies, and
future plans and objectives of the Company. Resource exploration,
development and operations are highly speculative, characterized by
a number of significant risks, which even a combination of careful
evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate, including,
among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from
the failure to discover mineral resources but from finding mineral
deposits which, though present, are insufficient in quantity and
quality to return a profit from production.
The TSX Venture Exchange does not accept responsibility for the
adequacy or accuracy of this release.
