Caldera Resources Inc.: Barrick Commences Mt. Carulina Drill Program

Caldera Resources Inc. ("Caldera" or the "Company") (TSX: CDR) is pleased to announce that joint venture partner Barrick Gold of Australia Limited ("Barrick") has commenced drilling on the first hole on the Leviathan Target at the Mt. Carulina Project in South Australia.

Due to local aquifer issues the first section of the hole will be drilled by rotary/mud technique to a depth of approximately 350 metres. This will be fully cased in order for a diamond drill rig to complete the hole to a target depth of approximately 800 metres.

Barrick recently presented all of the geophysical data, which included the newly acquired airborne magnetics and the ground gravity survey results. The 14 Mgal gravity anomaly was modelled in 3D and showed a substantial target with evidence of faulting.

A coincident magnetic and gravity anomaly association is a characteristic of the iron-oxide, copper, gold (IOCG) style of mineralisation, such as Olympic Dam, Prominent Hill and the recently discovered Carrapateena strike of Teck Cominco. These projects, including Mt. Carulina are all located within the G2 - O'Driscoll Lineament Corridor in South Australia.

Under the terms of the joint venture, Barrick must incur a minimum of A$400,000 on exploration expenditures within 12 months and may earn a 75% interest in the Exploration Licence by sole funding $4 Million of expenditures within 5 years.

Upon Barrick earning its 75% interest, Caldera will hold a 18.75% interest and Ellendale Resources NL, an Australian public listed company, will hold a 6.25% interest.

Dr. Greg Pooley, a member of the Aus. I.M.M. is the qualified person responsible for the technical information in this news release.
