BLACK TUSK RESOURCES PREPARES DRILL PADS FOR DIAMOND DRILLING ON THE MCKENZIE EAST GOLD PROJECT, VAL-D'OR, QUEBEC

Black Tusk Resources Inc. has begun preparing drill pads on the McKenzie East gold property located north of Val d'Or, Que.

Black Tusk has contracted Debroussaillage F. Aarie Inc. for clearing brush and preparing drill pads on the McKenzie East gold property. A total of nine sites will be prepared using a Volvo EC 140 excavator-mounted mechanized brush-cutting machine. This method of brush clearing and access preparation is the most environmentally efficient and provides a good base for mobilizing and positioning the diamond drill.

Perry Grunenberg, PGeo, a qualified person as that term is defined under National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical information contained in this news release. Mr. Grunenberg is also a director of the company.
