Typhoon Exploration Announces an Average of 22.2 g/t Gold for Drilling in 2010

LAVAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - March 15, 2011) - Typhoon Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:TYP) announces that 11 of the 29 drillings completed during the 2010 campaign, has produced more than 5.0 g/t gold over more than 2.0 meters, evaluated in true thickness. The average of these results is 22.2 g/t over 4.9 meters.

This first phase of the 2010 drilling campaign allowed the team to confirm the geologic model, the auriferous mineralization's constancy and the discovery of new mineralized lenses. (Press Release of December 16, 2010)

The auriferous zones discovered in 2010 are part of a very fertile metallogenic system which could extend over the whole property.

The first phase of drilling was carried out from July to December, 2010 and comprised 29 drill holes for a total of 10,339 meters. (see table below)

The second phase of the drill program currently underway features a budget of $6.5 million dollars invested by Aurizon Mines and 50,000 meters of drilling. Since January, 21 drill holes were completed for a total of more than 6,044 meters, which suggests that the campaign will extend across much of 2011.

For the next few months, several exploration drillings will be completed in order to evaluate low intensity magnetic targets (magnetic low) and Gocad anomalies which are similar to those of the Fayolle Deposit sector.

One of the company's goals for 2011 is to define the size and geometry of the Fayolle Deposit in order to significantly increase its resources.

NOTE

In collaboration with its partners, Typhoon Exploration Inc. is to complete 3 drilling campaigns on a section of the 35 km of terrain which it controls along the Porcupine-Destor Fault.

All drill cores are oriented using "CorientR" tool in order to measure their geological structures.

Typhoon holds 100% surface rights on one lot, which is an important benefit in that it ensures access to the Fayolle, Aiguebelle-Goldfields and Destorbelle projects all year round.

The Fayolle Project is strategically located in Abitibi and shows many similarities with numerous world-renowned gold deposits.
