Franc-Or Resources Corporation: Franc-Or Resources: Crocodile Gold Intersects 55.1 Metres Grading 3.2 g/t Gold, 8.4% Zinc, 3.1%

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Sept. 2, 2009) - Franc-Or Resources Corporation (TSX:FOR) -

Crocodile Gold Inc. today announces drill results from its polymetallic Iron Blow project in the Northern Territory of Australia. The results are from an exploration drilling program completed by GBS Gold International Inc. ("GBS Gold") in June and August 2008 which included six diamond drill holes totalling 1,803.3 metres. Results from holes IBDH001 and IBDH002 were released by GBS Gold on September 4, 2008. The remaining results were not released by GBS Gold. The drill program was completed to test the down-dip continuity of the mineralization and to verify historical data. A summary of the drill results is shown in Table 1 below.

Highlights from the assays include:

- 55.1 metres at a grade of 3.2 g/t Au, 318 g/t Ag, 8.4% Zn, 0.3% Cu and 3.1% Pb

- 13.4 metres at a grade of 2.7 g/t Au, 158 g/t Ag, 9.7% Zn, 0.3% Cu and 1.3% Pb

- 3.9 metres at a grade of 6.1 g/t Au, 268 g/t Ag, 14.0% Zn, 0.6% Cu and 2.2% Pb

The location of the Iron Blow project can be viewed in Figure 1 below. A drill plan, longitudinal section, and cross sections can be viewed in Figures 2-6 below.

Mike Hoffman, President and CEO of Crocodile Gold commented, "These drill results are encouraging as they show the potential for different types of gold mineralization on our Northern Territory tenements. We are in the final stages of preparing an initial resource estimate at Iron Blow which should be released shortly. We are looking forward to the completion of the proposed transaction with Franc-Or so we can continue to provide value to shareholders with the further development of projects such as Iron Blow."

Iron Blow is a stratabound polymetallic massive sulphide deposit located 12 kilometres to the east of Brocks Creek underground mine in the Burnside tenement package located approximately 150 kilometres south of Darwin in the Northern Territory of Australia. Mineralization includes gold, lead, zinc, silver and copper. Iron Blow has had historical small scale underground and open pit production.

The mineralization appears to occur as multiple parallel massive sulphide lodes. Additional drilling will seek to further define the nature and extent of the mineralization.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control Procedures

Gold results are based on 50 gram fire assays. All results are from half-core HQ diameter diamond drilling (variable intervals). All intersections are down hole intervals. All deviations have been verified by down hole survey instruments. Collar co-ordinates are confirmed by survey pickup.

The primary assay laboratory is North Australia Laboratories in Pine Creek, Northern Territory. Laboratory site reviews were undertaken during the period of the drilling campaign. Assay QA/QC procedures in place at the time of program involved the use of assay standards (sourced from reputable suppliers and cross-checked through umpire laboratories), blanks and barren quartz flushes. A third party "umpire" laboratory is typically used to cross-check and validate approximately 5% of the assay results. However, the full procedures QA/QC work relating to the assays reported in this news release is not yet fully complete in that umpire laboratory checks have not yet been completed. Sample coarse rejects are retained and approximately 5% of samples are re-submitted for further assay verification. All sample pulps and half-core are retained at site.

Qualified Person

Alfred John Gillman of Odessa Resources Pty Ltd and Fleur Louise Muller of Geostat Services Pty Ltd are the "qualified persons" as such term is defined in National Instrument 43-101 and have reviewed and confirmed the data included in this press release.
