NEWS RELEASE

RE: GRAVITY WEST CUTS SIGNIFICANT MINERALIZATION INCLUDING 2.34% Cu and 0.13 Ni OVER 0.90 METRES AT VOLTAIRE LAKE SIBLEY PROPERTY

Livio Susin, president of Gravity West Mining Corp. (TSX-V: GRW) is pleased to announce the results of diamond drill holes VL08-12 and VL08-13 at Drake Hill, on the company’s Voltaire Lake property, 160 kilometres north of Thunder Bay, Ontario. The most significant mineralization was a 12.25 m interval in hole VL08-13, including 2.34% copper and 0.13% nickel over 0.90 metres, and 6.00% Cu and 0.28% Ni over 0.28 metres The present drill results confirmed the continuity of mineralized zone intersected in VL08-03A and discovery of a new deeper horizon in hole VL08-13 (see attached cross section).

Drill holes VL08-12 and -13 were drilled at 50º and 70º respectively, in follow-up of 60º hole VL07-03A, which intersected significant copper, nickel and palladium values (see news release of January 16, 2008).

After entering basement rocks at 87.3 metres, below a diabase sill and Sibley group sediments, hole VL08-12 passed through 150 metres of pyroxenite, a much larger interval than was cut by VL07-03A. A large proportion of the pyroxenite is mineralized with disseminated to interstitial sulphides. One interval contained 0.82% Cu and 0.23% Ni over 0.30 metres. The remainder of the pyroxenite interval returned anomalous copper (up to 0.19% Cu), nickel (up to 0.05% Ni), zinc (up to 0.65%), and palladium (up to 200 ppb Pd).

Highlights of the assay results from hole VL08-12 is provided in the following table.

Further down hole VL08-12, from 288 to 306 metres, a massive sulphide interval was encountered. It consists of pyrrhotite with pyrite nodules which sometimes have rims of chalcopyrite. The interval contained anomalous copper, nickel, lead, gold and platinum, with maximum values of 258 ppm Cu, 553 ppm Ni, 1231 ppm Pb, 65 ppb Au and 89 ppm Pt.

Hole VL08-13 encountered only 14 metres of pyroxenite just below the unconformity at the base of the Sibley sediments. Between 186.13 and 198.38 metres, it cut the same sulphide-bearing breccia zone that was tested by VL07-03A, but encountered somewhat better grades of copper and nickel in two sections. Further down the hole, a second breccia zone was cut, between 245.06 and 280.25 metres, which included two sections with significant values in copper, nickel and zinc. The following table gives a summary of the most important assay results.

The remainder of the second breccia zone in hole VL08-13 returned anomalous copper, nickel, lead and zinc over the 23.29 metre interval from 249.46 to 272.75 metres, with maximum values of 2387 ppm Cu (0.24%), 493 ppm Ni, 764 ppm Pb and 1675 ppm Zn (0.17%).

The mineralization at Drake Hill has both chemical and physical affinities with both VMS (copper-zinc " lead " gold) and magmatic (copper-nickel " PGEs " gold) deposits. To date only five holes have been drilled into three of the 32 conductive trends identified by the airborne VTEM® survey. A ground electromagnetic survey has been completed over approximately 60 percent of the 3km by 2 km area defined by the airborne conductors. The survey has been suspended during the spring thaw. Partial results indicate that the ground survey has not located any anomalies that are not apparent on the airborne survey; however the closer line spacing of the ground survey has defined the extent of each conductor more closely, readying the project for an expanded diamond drilling program.

Assays quoted in this news release were performed at Accurassay Laboratories Ltd., an accredited laboratory in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Technical information has been prepared and/or reviewed by Colin Bowdidge, Ph.D., P.Geo., a Qualified Person as defined in NI43-101.
