Blackheath Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:BHR)(FRANKFURT:04B) ("Blackheath") is
pleased to report results from the second round of preliminary work at the 213
square kilometre Vale das Gatas Tungsten/Tin Project, located 100 kilometres
east of Porto in northern Portugal.


To date, 16 samples were collected from the Prainelas area, approximately 1.5
square kilometres in size. A single grab sample taken from one of the waste
dumps assayed 7.28% WO3 or 72.8 kg/tonne. The total average of all the samples
was over 3.03% WO3. (These must be considered to be preliminary selected
samples, and as such, may not be representative of average values for each
area.)


The following table shows the results from all assays taken to date at Vale Das
Gatas:

"We are thrilled with the continued positive results from our exploration work
at Vale das Gatas," said James Robertson, P. Eng., President & CEO of Blackheath
Resources. "We look forward to further exploration work at Vale das Gatas
scheduled for this year which includes: expanded mapping of the Prainelas Veins,
further exploration and underground mapping of the historic Vale das Gatas mine,
and diamond drilling."


The Vale das Gatas mine was the second most prolific past producer of tungsten
in Portugal, after Borralha, also owned by Blackheath. The Vale das Gatas mine
closed in 1986 as a result of a significant decline in tungsten price. At its
peak, the mine employed over 1,000 workers and produced up to 635 tonnes of
tungsten concentrates annually. The average recovered grade of the mine was
0.35% WO3 (tungsten trioxide) per tonne. At least thirty tungsten-bearing
sub-vertical quartz veins have been identified over some 900 metres, with
lengths up to 2 kilometres at surface. To date, Blackheath has identified
approximately 300 old mine workings on the property. These workings include
adits, trenches and small open pits.
