Millrock Signs Letter of Intent for an Agreement With Crescent Resources for Uncle Sam Gold Property, Alaska

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire - Oct. 13, 2010) - Millrock Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: MRO) (“Millrock“ or the “Company“) announced today an agreement has been reached with Crescent Resources Corporation (“Crescent“) for the exploration of Millrock's Uncle Sam property (“Uncle Sam“) located 75 kilometers southeast of Fairbanks, Alaska in the Tintina Gold Belt.

A letter of intent signed between the parties gives Crescent the exclusive option to earn a 100% interest in the Uncle Sam claim group in return for a cumulative US$2.5 million in exploration expenditures, US$300,000 in cash payments and Crescent share issuances to Millrock. If the earn-in agreement proceeds to December 31, 2011, Millrock will be issued that number of shares to give the Company 18% of the issued and outstanding shares of Crescent on that date.

Additionally, Crescent will issue to Millrock additional common shares in connection with independently verified gold resources defined on the Property as measured or indicated resources under National Instrument 43-101 in the following amounts:

Ounces of Gold Resources defined under
NI 43-101: 	Common Shares of Crescent to be Issued to Millrock:
1,000,000 ounces 	1,500,000 common shares
2,000,000 ounces and greater 	1,000,000 common shares for every additional 1,000,000 ounces

The Uncle Sam gold project targets intrusion-related gold deposits hosted in a similar age of intrusive rocks to those which host the Pogo Gold Mine in east-central Alaska approximately 60 kilometers to the east of Uncle Sam. The Pogo Mine was discovered in the mid 1990's and hosts over five million ounces of gold. Prior exploration data indicates extensive anomalous surface gold geochemistry. Previous drilling shows a highlight intersection of 10.6 meters averaging 6.1g/t gold and a total of 18 individual drill intersections of greater than 1.0 g/t gold over drilled widths ranging from 3 to 12 m.

The Uncle Sam property was previously explored in the 1990s by Kennecott, Geoinformatics (a predecessor to Kiska Metals) and Midas Gold. Geophysical surveys have identified two intrusive bodies with associated gold mineralization. As a result of the prior exploration work, numerous drill-ready targets exist on the Uncle Sam claim block. Millrock has carried out further geochemical sampling in areas of thick overburden using innovative methods. Results of this work are pending.

Millrock will be the operator of the Uncle Sam program until November 1, 2011; thereafter, Crescent will be operator of the Uncle Sam exploration program. While the Option Agreement is in effect, Crescent will assume the underlying cash payment obligations to Kiska Metals Corporation (“Kiska“). Details of the option agreement with Kiska were announced in November 2009 here http://www.millrockresources.com/news/millrock_options_uncle_sam_gold_property_in_alaska_from_kiska/.
