Iron Glen's Phase 1 Drilling Program Nears Completion


TOWNSVILLE, Australia, Oct. 26 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --


    Queensland based explorer Iron Glen Holdings Limited is pleased to

announce that the initial drilling program of its Iron Ore tenement, located

in Townsville, Queensland, has successfully delineated a Magnetite resource.


    HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DRILLING PROGRAM


    - Eleven holes have been drilled, with magnetite intersections in the

      first nine and the eleventh holes, ranging from a thickness of 14

      meters to 33 meters.


    - The drill holes extend from approximately 30 meters south of the old

      pit area, along its eastern boundary to a position 495 meters to the

      northwest.


    In addition to magnetite intersections, the Drilling Program has also

intersected gold and copper bearing mineralization. The potential of these

intersections cannot be assessed until assay results have been received. The

Directors of Iron Glen anticipate that Terra Search Pty Ltd will issue a full

report during November 2010 and following this, Iron Glen will report on

their conclusions in detail.


    In commenting on the soon to be completed Drilling Program, Patrick

Griffiths, Executive Director of Iron Glen Holdings, said, "We are very

pleased to be nearing completion of our initial Drilling Program and to be on

schedule in achieving our company targets. Our aim in commissioning the

Drilling Program was to delineate a magnetite resource in the vicinity of the

old pit. This has been achieved. Future work programs will be undertaken to

fully quantify this resource and assess the potential of the other 4 areas of

interest within our tenement."


    "The initial results from the Drilling Program are more promising than

first anticipated. In addition to the magnetite intersections the Drilling

Program also intersected gold and copper bearing mineralization. Whilst the

significance of these intersections cannot be assessed until assay results

have been received, these are exciting discoveries that we will further

evaluate."
