LAS VEGAS, NEVADA--(Marketwire - April 14, 2009) - Elray Resources, Inc. (OTCBB:ELRA), a technically-driven mining and exploration company is pleased to announce that it has commenced an aggressive program to expose a major ore body to a length totaling 60 meters at a depth of 10 meters on its 100% owned 9,000 hectare Porphyry Creek Project in Cambodia.

"Our independent geologists have high expectations that this activity will confirm the presence of a viable copper porphyry system with solid copper and gold mineralization based upon previous geological mapping and sampling," commented Mr. Barry J. Lucas, Executive Chairman of Elray. "This will be immediately followed by further trenching to expose more of the ore body in lines of 100 meters apart as recommended by the Company's supervising site Geologist."

Samples will be immediately dispatched to Mineral Assay and Services Co Ltd, an internationally accredited lab located in Bangkok, Thailand, to enable a geological assessment of future work to be done on the property.
