ELECTRA RECEIVES FOLLOW-UP PURCHASE ORDER FROM LAFARGE

Electra Gold is pleased to announce that on-going successful negotiations have resulted in a third significant order from Lafarge Canada for 8,300 tonnes of premium chalky geyserite product. This alumina-silica product will be used to provide the Al2O3 and SiO2 requirements at the Lafarge Richmond Cement Plant for an entire 30 day period.

Previous bulk samples (see News Release August 20, 2007) and Industrial trials at the Richmond Plant have performed with excellent handling, chemical and wear characteristics. This is not unexpected since Electra has been delivering superior products to Ash Grove Cement in Seattle continuously for the last 5 years.

Electra is also pursuing other mining opportunities which compliment its ongoing industrial mineral operations. Due diligence is being done on an attractive coal property on Vancouver Island. Samples of high grade kaolin from the Company’s 100% owned Lang Bay (Duck Lake) Project have been sent to interested major companies.
