LAS VEGAS, NEVADA--(Marketwire - May 28, 2009) - Elray Resources, Inc.(OTCBB:ELRA), a technically-driven mining and exploration company today confirmed that a fourth mineralised zone has been discovered near what is known as "The French Pit" on the Company's 100% owned, 9,000 hectare Porphyry Creek Project in Cambodia.

The "French Pit" and surrounding area was examined in detail and strong evidence was gathered to demonstrate the occurrence of a 4th mineralised zone in that area. A drainage ditch was excavated at the eastern end of the pit to enable future investigations.

The Porphyry Creek prospect area has been the subject of sporadic exploration activity for the last 50-years. All work to date has focussed on a small area of known outcrop originally discovered in the bed of Porphyry Creek. The most comprehensive exploration work was carried out by the French in the 1950's when they completed a large excavation locally known as "French Pit" on the east bank of Porphyry Creek, approximately 50m downstream of the original outcrop.

"The data gathered so far supports the conclusion that our Porphyry Creek property is heavily mineralised and worth further exploration," commented Mr. Barry J. Lucas, Executive Chairman of Elray Resources.
