March 3, 2010 - Val-d'Or, Quebec, Canada: Metanor Resources Inc. (MTO: TSX-V) is pleased to announce new results of the drilling campaign executed on the Barry property. This drilling program included 168 holes totalling approximately 20,000m and allowed to extend laterally and at depth, the Main zone on the northern side (Footwall) of the deformation corridor, the zone 43 and the Center zone on the southern part (Hanging wall) of this corridor, as well as the mineralized lenses (Inter) located between these two gold bearing zones.

Diamond drill hole MB-09-501 intersected on section 930 E a broad mineralized and sheared zone coinciding with the extension at depth of the Main zone and which returned at an approximate vertical depth of 75m an intersection of 2.71 g/t Au over 18.85m, including 3.88 g/t Au over 9.0m.  Diamond drill hole MB-09-433 intersected the Main zone on section 755 E or approximately 150m to the west of the east pit extremity and which returned 5.55 g/t Au over 12.0m at a vertical depth of 35m.

 
Results obtained with this diamond drilling campaign carried out mainly on mineralized zones of the Central zone located at approximately 80 meters to the south of the Main zone, confirm the potential to define new resources in each gold zone in the deformation corridor which crosses the Barry property. Other assay results are still pending.

The true width is approximately 85 to 90 % of the core length obtained in diamond drill holes. Analyses were performed by fire assay at the Bachelor Mine laboratory with verification of several samples at the ALS Assay Laboratory of Val-d'Or, Quebec.
