(OTC: SDOI) in regards to the Ruby #1 and #2 Mine Project situated in Mono County, California. As per the Agreement, HE-5 Resources has sold to Sand Oil a 50% interest over a 5 year-period in the Ruby #1 and #2 Mine Project.

HE-5 Resources is also pleased to report that it will use the substantial proceeds from the sale of a 50% interest in the Ruby #1 and #2 Mine Project towards the Overman Property Project. This injection of capital will accelerate the exploration and development of the Overman Property and ensure that production commences by this November. HE-5 has decided to focus most of its efforts on the Overman Property Project and as stated in the last Press Release, it is about one month ahead of schedule with respect to the first task in the Proposed Work Schedule and sufficient funds have been secured to cover the total pre-production expenses, as outlined in the Preliminary Budget. Due to its strategic position on the Comstock Lode in Nevada, the Overman Property is one of the district's larger producers and ranks at the top of the district's properties in terms of its potential to generate a significant tonnage of material suitable for heap-leaching. HE-5 will employ the heap-leaching equipment that is already on-site to execute the gold extraction process.
