EURO Ressources: LITIGATION COMMENCED IN RESPECT OF PAUL ISNARD PROPERTY

Market Wire, September, 2008

EURO Ressources S.A. (TSX: EUR) (PARIS: EUR) today announced that litigation has commenced in Canada between EURO Ressources S.A. and Golden Star Resources Ltd. concerning the Paul Isnard property held by EURO and its subsidiary in French Guiana.

For its part, EURO has asked the Court to confirm Golden Star's repudiation of the Option Agreement on Paul Isnard, and is seeking damages from Golden Star. Golden Star has filed a countersuit in Canada, seeking transfer of the Paul Isnard properties to Golden Star. As an alternative to transfer of the Paul Isnard properties, Golden Star seeks monetary damages. EURO considers Golden Star's claim to be without merit.

As reported in earlier press releases, EURO is currently working through the process required by the MEDAD (Ministère de l'Ecologie du Développement et de l'Aménagement Durable) to enable the renewal of the Paul Isnard PER (Permis Exclusif de Recherches).

James H. Dunnett, Directeur-Général of EURO Ressources, commented: "EURO will hold discussions with MEDAD and other appropriate authorities to ensure that EURO takes the necessary action for renewal of the Paul Isnard PER. We remain open to a resolution of matters with Golden Star, but can offer no assurance that any accommodation may be reached."
