Exeter Resource Corporation is an AMEX listed company focussed on the discovery and development of gold deposits in South America. At October 31, 2008 the Company had C$23 million in cash (no debt), funds considered sufficient to continue drilling on the Company’s Caspiche and Cerro Moro discoveries.

The Caspiche Project in Chile is a gold-copper porphyry, a type of deposit common to many of the world's largest open pit gold-copper mines. The discovery is located 8 miles south of Kinross Gold's Refugio mine (+6 million ounce gold resource), and 6 miles north of the very large Cerro Casale gold-copper deposit (24 million ounce gold resource), jointly owned by Kinross-Barrick Gold.

Exeter drilling to date at Caspiche has defined a large area of potentially ore grade mineralisation, with the deepest drill hole confirming mineralization to a depth of 2600 ft. Drilling is continuing, with the objective of establishing a minimum 10 million ounce gold equivalent resource on the property by Q2-2009.

Drilling is also continuing on Exeter’s very high grade Cerro Moro Gold-Silver Project in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina. Over 400 drill holes define a very extensive vein system on the property. High grade to 'bonanza grade' results characterize the Escondida Zone, with numerous drill holes exceeding 1 oz/ton gold grades. A NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate is scheduled to be released in Q2-2009.

Cerro Moro is within an established mining district, near mines operated by AngloGold Ashanti, Pan American Silver, Coeur d’Alene Mines and Minera Andes/Hochschild.  Exeter is optimistic that the property could be developed as a long term, very profitable, gold-silver mine.
