(TSX-V:PEM) (?Premium? or the ?Company?) is pleased to provide the following corporate update.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">The Company?s focus for the foreseeable future is the exploration and development of the gold mineralization along the Orogrande Shear Zone in Idaho beginning with the Friday-Petsite project. During this development, Premium will also advance the PGM Chrome Mountain project in the Stillwater Complex, Montana, USA, and the San Pedro Analco project, in Jalisco, Mexico, both of which will be advanced in 2009.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">In its initial stage of growth, Premium developed a diverse property portfolio with projects ranging from grassroots exploration to advanced stage development opportunities. The Company has identified key precious metals projects that meet the Company?s investment criteria. Ongoing growth for the Company will continue by utilizing its successful strategy to explore and develop key projects that demonstrate significant potential for near-term production and growth of resources.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>This strategic plan is intended to maximize the Company?s ability to rapidly create shareholder value. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">The milestone of growing both the Management and Technical Teams was achieved in Q2-2009 with the addition of Wilf Struck, P.Eng., and Mike Ostenson (experienced precious metals geologist) to the team. Our experienced team will conduct precious metals exploration while advancing projects to production.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">Goals for Q3-2009 and Q4-2009 are as follows: </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 56.25pt; text-indent: -20.25pt; text-align: justify; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">1.<span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">      </span></span></span></strong><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">Idaho</span></strong><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">Management identified a high-priority opportunity to expand the open-ended high-grade gold zone that has been identified over a 350 meter (1,148 ft) strike length to date and located within the large and potentially open-pittable Friday-Petsite NI 43-101 Resource. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">The drilling company for the planned 800-meter drill program has been selected and is scheduled to start June 15<sup>th</sup>. The drill program is designed to delineate the zone along strike and down dip with a likely addition to the high grade portion of the resource. The second goal of the drill program is to provide additional geological data to assess the feasibility of a potential underground development.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">The project has defined resources based on core and reverse circulation drilling, with much of the resource located on patented ground. This is an important distinction, as the permitting process can be expedited. There is also substantial exploration potential associated with a contiguous 4,000 ft of gold soil geochemistry anomaly extending south of the NI 43-101 resource envelope. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">In conjunction with the drill program in Idaho, Premium is also reviewing exploration results to date on its Chrome Mountain project in the Stillwater Complex, Montana, USA. Exploration programs from 2006 to 2008 included the drilling of 19 holes and over 2 km of soil geochemistry that identified an extensive zone of platinum, palladium and rhodium mineralization. It has been concluded that the broad and laterally extensive PGM soil anomalies were formed by the same type of processes that formed the giant Platreef disseminated PGM-Cu-Ni deposits in South Africa. An exploration program is currently being designed to follow up on the discovery of the new Platreef exploration model.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">Premium?s joint venture partner on the project, Beartooth Platinum Corp., has been merging with a private company, Kria Resources, since November 2008. Although the merger has obtained shareholder approval, the combination is still not complete, nor has it been accepted by regulation authorities. Premium is closely monitoring the situation and will provide timely updates upon any new developments.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.75in; text-indent: -0.25in; text-align: justify; tab-stops: list .75in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">3.<span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">     </span></span></span></strong><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">Mexico</span></strong><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">The Company acquired a number of prospective properties in Mexico which met Premium?s initial investment criteria. Upon completion of a review of historic data and on-site property examinations, the Company elected to drop the Cucurpe, Dos Amigos, Rosamorada and La Lupe properties. The properties had ongoing work and property payment commitments and based on the results to date, further work was not justified. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">An extensive exploration program was conducted on the Nueva Galica project which hosted highly anomalous gold and silver mineralization and was evaluated to determine the extent of its potential. The property underwent mapping, sampling, and drilling utilizing the Company?s own portable diamond drill. Preliminary sampling results returned favorable mineralization assays. However, results from the preliminary 1800-meter Phase-One drill program did not confirm continuity of the mineralization. The drilling conditions were extremely difficult due to the brecciated, sheared and broken nature of the mineralized zones, which consisted of quartz fragments in a clay matrix. This resulted in poor core recovery, ranging from 0 to 75%. Poor core recovery impacted the reliability of the assay results, due to significant loss of fine sulphides which appeared to host the gold and silver mineralization. Despite the implementation of various techniques and controls to minimize core losses and provide accurate evaluations of the mineralized zone, the Company had inconsistent results. Due to increasing work commitments and payments, the Company elected to drop the property.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">The San Pedro Analco property is an historic underground silver mine located within the Cinco Minas &#8211; San Pedro Analco mining district, 70 kilometers northwest of Guadalajara. San Pedro Analco hosts an extensive low sulfidation silver/gold epithermal system with at least five vein structures on the property. The Project has excellent infrastructure, including road access, ample water available, and a high voltage transmission line less than one kilometer from the property. The mine reportedly operated until the mid 1980?s.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">After production was shut down due to low silver prices, further drilling was conducted by the operator. Premium?s new geological team will review the results of the reported 86 holes of drilling as well as a historic independent engineering report commissioned by the previous operator. This will allow our new geological team to better understand the property and formulate future exploration programs. Premium anticipates active exploration to begin on the project in Q4-2009.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA (January 9, 2009) &#8211; Premium Exploration, Inc. (TSX-V:PEM) (&#8220;Premium&#8221;) is closely monitoring the progress of the merger between Premium&#8217;s joint venture partner, Beartooth Platinum Corp. (TSX-V:BTP) (&#8220;Beartooth&#8221;) and Kria Resources Inc. (&#8220;Kria&#8221;).  Assay results are pending from the 2008 Drill Program on Chrome Mountain which Beartooth, the Operator, has yet to release to Premium.  Upon receiving information on the merger and assay results, management will provide an additional update.</p>
<p>On October 23, 2008, Premium&#8217;s joint venture partner, Beartooth announced that they had signed a letter of agreement, dated October 22, 2008, with Kria Resources Inc. (&#8220;Kria&#8221;).  Under the terms of the agreement, Beartooth will acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Kria in exchange for common shares of Beartooth (the &#8220;Transaction&#8221;).</p>
<p>The Transaction, which is subject to the completion of confirmatory due diligence by both Beartooth and Kria, regulatory approvals, court approval (if required) and obtaining shareholder approval, has been delayed.  U.S. Counsel is conducting a thorough review of the structure of the merger to ensure that the amalgamation of the two companies abides by the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission. </p>
<p>Following completion of the Transaction, the Kria board and management team will become the board and management team of the combined company and the combined company will be renamed Kria Resources Inc.</p>
<p>Michael Johnson, President and CEO of Beartooth, said, &#8220;The capital market has become increasingly difficult for junior mineral exploration plays. We believe that Beartooth&#8217;s two properties offer interesting potential for future resource definition; however, it is difficult to finance exploration activities in this environment. Kria has cash on hand and two attractive advanced-stage development projects. We are excited about the potential growth associated with Kria&#8217;s assets.&#8221;</p>
<p>Michael Hoffman, President and CEO of Kria, commented &#8220;We are excited about the proposed transaction, which offers Kria an opportunity to go public.  Kria has successfully compiled two advanced projects, which offer defined mineral resources and the potential for future production. In addition, Kria has sufficient funds on hand to finance planned operations into 2009.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE</strong></p>
<p><strong>October 2, 2008</strong></p>
<p>Premium Exploration Inc., (PEM) (PEM:TSX-V) and Beartooth Platinum Corp., (BTP) (BTP:TSX-V) are pleased to announce the completion of the 2008 Drill Program at the Platinum Group Metals (PGM) Chrome Mountain and Iron Mountain adjacent properties in the Stillwater Complex, Montana, USA.</p>
<p><strong>Highlights Include:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Completion of 11 core holes totaling 1,623 m (5,324 ft) with an average depth of 148 m (484 ft) </li>
<li>Visible Chromite identified in two holes to date </li>
<li>Core logging completed with final preparation of samples for shipment to the assay lab is underway</li>
<li>387 surface soil samples collected over 2,400 m west of Chrome Mountain to delineate the western extension of the 15 km PGM geochemical anomaly </li>
<li>Chrome Mountain is located 1,500 m from the East Boulder Mine  (Stillwater Mining Company)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>The 2008 Drill Program Overview<br />
</strong><br />
The 2008 Drill Program consisted of 12 NQ core holes totaling 1,623 m (5,324 ft), with 9 holes totaling 1,106 m (3,629 ft) on Premium?s Chrome Mountain property and three holes totaling 517 m(1,695 ft) on Beartooth?s adjacent Iron Mountain property. The 2008 drill program tested 5 km of the district scale 15 km PGM soil anomaly that hosts grades up to 1.2 g/t at surface.  <a href="http://www.premiumexploration.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/2008-chrome-mountain-drilling-map.pdf" target="_blank">Click here to view the Completed 2008 Drill Plan Map.</a></p>
<p><strong>The 2008 Completed Drill Plan</strong></p>
<p>Drill holes CM2008-04, CM2008-08, CM2008-09 were designed to follow up on CM2007-09, CM2007-02, CM2007-04.<br class="spacer_" /><br />
CM2007-09 intersected 7.3 m of 1.14 g/t Pt, 2.33 g/t Pd, 0.44 g/t Au, 0.47% Ni and 0.17% Cu</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>CM2007-02 intersected 18.3 m of 0.72 g/t Pt, 1.79 g/t Pd, 0.11 g/t Au, 0.20% Ni and 0.05% Cu</p>
<p>CM2007-04 intersected 1.2 g/t Pt+Pd+Au over 116.7 m</p>
<p>All 2007 drill holes were located in the broadest portion of the 15 km PGM soil anomaly; all 10 core holes began and terminated in mineralization. The broad portion of the anomaly is located on Premium?s Chrome Mountain property and measures 2,300 m (7,546 ft) x 1000 m (3,281 ft).  <a href="http://www.premiumexploration.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/2007-chrome-mountain-drill-results-including-ni-and-cu.pdf" target="_blank">Click here for all 2007 Drill Program Results</a>.</p>
<p>Drill holes CM2008-05, CM2008-06, CM2008-07 targeted a zone of coincident Chromite and PGM mineralization. This was to test the similarity of the mineralization found at the Chrome Mountain property to that of the Platreef, as postulated by BTP?s PGM Consultant, Dr. Reid Keays, PhD., of Monash University. This zone was not tested during the 2007 drill program due to inclement weather.</p>
<p><strong>The 2008 Drill Program Goal<br />
</strong><br />
The 2008 drill program followed up on the 2007 Drill Program and was designed to delineate the mineralization encountered in 2007, described as analogous to a combination of Platreef and UG2 styles of mineralization. The UG2 Chromitite, Merensky Reef, and Platreef mineralization of the Bushveld Complex (BIC) of South Africa make up the largest PGM resource in the world. Platinum and palladium production from the BIC represents 72% and 34% of annual global production respectively.<br class="spacer_" /><br />
Platreef is one of the most profitable styles of mineralization as it is located near surface, which lends itself to simple surface mining procedures and typically has large tonnages, and consequently the mining methods benefit from economics of scale. Platreef-style mineralization was encountered in hole CM2007-04 of the 2007 drill program which returned 1.2 g/t Pt+Pd+Au over 116.7 meters.</p>
<p>Core logging has been encouraging. Several zones of disseminated Chromite as well as, narrow bands of Chromite were identified and the rock types encountered in the 2008 drill holes are consistent with the geology encountered during the 2007 drill program. <a href="http://www.premiumexploration.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/2008-core.pdf">Click here for pictures from the 2008 Drill Program</a>.</p>
<p>Assays are expected by November 30, 2008. Once received BTP may have sufficient data to begin preliminary resource calculations.</p>

The fact that multiple high-grade chromitite intervals appear to be present in this area may also reflect proximity to entry points for new magmas. The lithology is also disrupted and lacks continuity between drill holes indicating turbulent conditions during crystallization. Similarly, the interaction between high-energy fresh magma pulses and older, PGM enriched, residual magmas in the Bushveld magma chamber is thought to have produced the high grade PGM deposits of the UG2 chromitite layer. </span><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #660000; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><a title="Tracked link" href="http://www.premiumexploration.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/vortex-concept-feeder-zone-stylized-model.pdf" target="_blank"><span style="color: #800080;">Click Here</span></a></span></strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> for a Stylized Model of the Feeder Zone Concept.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: ">The Plan of Operations for the 2008 Drill Program of filed by Beartooth Platinum Corporation, the joint venture ?Operator? on Premium?s Chrome Mountain project, has been approved by the Gallatin National Forest and will begin soon. In addition to the 2008 Drill Program of 3,000 meters (10,000 ft), the Operator will also resume soil geochemical sampling on strike, west of the existing PGM soil anomaly. Drilling conducted in 2007 and the upcoming 2008 Drill Program are both focused on the PGM soil anomaly. (<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #660000;"><a href="http://www.premiumexploration.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/2008-exploration-program-pine-claim-shear-zone.pdf" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a></span></span></strong> for a <strong><span style="font-family: ">new map </span></strong>of the Pine Claim and PGM Anomaly)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: ">The existing soil geochem anomaly hosts <strong><span style="font-family: ">PGM grades up to 1.2 g/t </span></strong>at surface and the planned geochem is designed to test for PGM?s in soils to the west of the anomaly. There are 6 km?s of strike length to the western boundary of Premium?s property which remain to be tested. The current soil anomaly to be drilled is on the eastern 1/3 of the property. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: ">Premium will conduct exploration on gold mineralization previously encountered on the Pine Claim Shear Zone which is associated with a transverse fault and shear zone cross-cutting Stillwater Complex lithologies. (<strong><span style="font-family: "><a title="http://premium.xplorex.com/modules/newsletter/trackedlink.jsp?email=ckopr@premiumexploration.com&amp;sendingid=0&amp;nextredirect=http://premium.xplorex.com/sites/premium/files/43-101_-Montana_Nov_18_05.pdf Tracked link" href="http://premium.xplorex.com/modules/newsletter/trackedlink.jsp?email=ckopr@premiumexploration.com&amp;sendingid=0&amp;nextredirect=http://premium.xplorex.com/sites/premium/files/43-101_-Montana_Nov_18_05.pdf" target="_blank"><span style="color: #660000;">CLICK HERE</span></a> </span></strong>for the 43-101 for the Chrome Mountain Property Package)</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: ">Historic drilling in the Pine Claim Shear Zone by past operators returned:</span></strong><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "> </span></p>

PC-3:  10.3 g/t gold over 1.07 m starting at 5.6 m of depth<br />

          37.3 g/t gold over 0.71m starting at 30.1m depth<br />
PC-9:  16.6 g/t gold over 4.66 m starting at 4.35m depth</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "><br />
The Pine Claim fault is a conduit for gold mineralization and has deposited gold into rocks which form the Stillwater complex and the fault has also remobilized PGM?s associated with the ?A? and ?B? Chromitite horizons. Premium will conduct surface mapping and sampling to further define the limits of the gold bearing system of the Pine Claim Shear Zone. The shear zone is located west-southwest of the existing PGM soil geochem anomaly and on the west side of the additional drilling planned by the Operator. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "><br />
The gold mineralization appears to be associated with the steeply dipping shear zone striking northerly and cross cutting the PGM soil anomaly and Chromite seams while PGM mineralization is associated with the Chromite.  Previous work on the shear zone has identified a strike length of 300 meters (1,000 feet) open to the north and south.  The 2008 Drill Program may intersect the north extension of the Pine Claim Shear Zone. </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA (July 16, 2008) Premium Exploration, Inc. (TSX-V:PEM) (<a href="http://www.premiumexploration.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=108&amp;Itemid=7">http://www.premiumexploration.com/</a>) is pleased to announce results on the resubmitted Rhodium assays from the 2007 drill program at the Platinum Group Metals (PGM) Chrome Mountain Project, in the Stillwater Complex, Montana, USA. The project location is within 1,500m of the richest PGM deposit in the world, currently mined by the Stillwater Mining Co.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Due to the complexity of assaying for PGM in core with Chromite, Premium?s joint venture partner, Beartooth Platinum Corp. (?the operator?, currently earning a 50% interest in Chrome Mountain), chose to resubmit the PGM core from the 2007 drill program.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">  </span>The samples were sent to Genalysis Laboratory Services Pty, the specialty lab with expertise in the assaying of PGM?s used by the major companies in South Africa. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Dr. Reid Keays, PhD., of Monash University has evaluated the Rhodium (Rh) assay results and compared the results to the Platinum (Pt) assays. A total of 143 samples were analyzed and a comparison of the Rhodium versus Platinum for samples with a Platinum assay greater than 140ppb (&gt;0.140 g/t), confirms that there is indeed a good correlation between Rhodium and Platinum: the regression coefficient is 0.704, which is reasonably robust. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span><strong>The regression curve suggests that the Rhodium content of the Stillwater peridotite zone samples is approximately 9% of the grade of Pt assay</strong><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold">. </span></span><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">Drilling in 2007 at the Chrome Mountain project hosts an approximate 11:1 ratio of Platinum to Rhodium with a high of 0.336 g/t Rhodium assayed to date.</span></strong><strong></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> </span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">This outcome is different to that obtained from samples analyzed from 2002 and 2006 drill core in Rh vs. Pt (2002-2006). The regression of Rh vs. Pt indicated that the Rh in the Stillwater Peridotite zone from drill intercepts of the ?A? and ?B? chromites ranged from 21% to 31% of the Pt content of this zone. Drilling in 2002 and 2006 targeted the soil PGM geochemical anomaly associated with the ?A? and ?B? chromitites which is present for the 11km of strike on both Beartooth?s and Premium?s properties. </span><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">Analysis of the Rhodium data suggests that the ?B? Chromitites have not yet been intersected by the drill program.</span></strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"> </span></p>

Chromitite layers of the Stillwater Complex. The ?A? and ?B? Chromitites are thought to be similar to the UG2 mineralization in South Africa which is a PGM rich chromitite horizon called reef-style mineralization. <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">UG2 mineralization is characterized by thicknesses of 0.7m to 1.6m and ranges in grade from 5 to 7 g/t PGM.</strong> South Africa, provides 80% of the world?s platinum group metals, has suffered through power supply issues and labor disputes which are unlikely to be rectified in the near future and this will likely have a negative impact on global PGM supplies.</span></p>

The 2007 drill holes collared on the geochem anomaly were mineralized from the collars to total depth of the drill holes. A conceptual model (see Beartooth Platinum Release dated Feb. 25, 2008) has been developed for this mineralization and appe</span></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">ars to have characteristics of both Platreef and UG2 styles of mineralization within the same zone<strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">. It appears that the processes by which these world class deposits formed in the Bushveld Complex were also operating in the Stillwater Complex, and indeed may have overlapped to form a combined style of mineralization at Chrome Mountain.</strong></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The newly discovered mineralization, as a result of the 2007 drilling, has similarities to the Plat Reef in South Africa. This is significant as the Plat Reef mineralization occurs near the surface and ore production from mines on the Plat Reef benefits from lower cost mining methods which have a very positive impact on mine economics. Additional drilling is planned for the 2008 drill season to follow up on the encouraging 2007 drill results. </span></p>

Chromitite reef-style layers parallel the JM Reef of the Stillwater Complex, the richest PGM deposit in the world currently mined by Stillwater Mining Company. Reef style mineralization, such as the JM Reef, can range in widths of 0.14m to 18m and can strike for long distances, up to 40 km for the JM Reef. Historical and current geological information indicate that the Chromitite layers have a similar strike length to the JM reef and are parallel to it. </span></p>

The program is designed to test what the Company believes to be a potential &#8220;feeder zone&#8221; for the previously unknown style of PGM mineralization, discovered at Premium&#8217;s 100% wholly-owned Chrome Mountain property in the Stillwater Complex, Montana, USA.  The program will be located on the north-western portion of the Stillwater Complex in Sweet Grass County on the Gallatin National Forest. The program will consist of 10 to 15 NQ Core holes totaling approximately 10,000 feet and will follow up on the successful 2007 drill program.</p>
<p align="justify">The Chrome Mountain property is located 1,500m from the Stillwater Mining Company, who are mining the highest grade platinum group metal bearing reef in the world, the JM Reef of the Stillwater Complex.</p>
<p align="justify">Highlights include:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<div>Approval for 40 drill sites on the Chrome Mountain property;</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>Drill testing of the high-grade chromitite area of the PGM anomaly which was not yet permitted at the time of the 2007 drill program;</div>
</li>
<li>
<div><strong>Drilling is targeting a combination of two styles of South African PGM mineralization combined in the same envelope of disseminated chromitite;</strong></div>
</li>
<li>
<div>Platreef-style mineralization, as demonstrated in hole CM2007-4 of the 2007 drill program:</div>
</li>
</ul>
<p align="center"><strong>1.0 g/t PGM + Au over 116.7 meters</strong></p>
<p align="center">Includes five zones of comparable to UG2 in widths and grades:</p>
<p align="center"><strong>6.3 g/t over 1.2 meters</strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong>4.8 g/t over 1.2 meters</strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong>11.9 g/t over 0.3 meters</strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong>7.6 g/t over 0.3 meters</strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong>6.5 g/t over 0.3 meters</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
<div>Additional geochemical sampling will be conducted to test the boundary of the known PGM+Au 2300m x 1000m geochemical anomaly west along the<strong> 8 km of strike not yet explored by the Company.</strong></div>
</li>
</ul>
<p align="justify">This drill program is designed to further understand and define the boundaries of the platinum, palladium, and gold mineralization of Premium&#8217;s PGM geochemical anomaly and information accumulated in the 2007 drill program, which suggests the identification of a feeder zone. All holes in 2007 were collared within the central part of the soil geochemical anomaly, all holes started immediately in mineralization with the majority of holes terminating in mineralization. <strong>Widths intercepted, reached up to 116.7 m of 1.5 g/t PGM + Au.</strong> The 2007 drill program tested only a small portion (approximately 30%) of the large geochemical anomaly discovered in 2006.</p>
<p align="justify">The broad zones of PGM enrichment at Chrome Mountain may reflect the higher energies of magmas entering the chamber from conduits (feeder zones) in this area. Because the magmas will have more energy at the point of entry, the sulfide droplets come into contact with larger amounts of magma, thus scavenging large amounts of PGM. This process of increasing magma energies leading to increasing PGM concentration in sulfides is also believed to be responsible for the high grade PGM mineralization of the Platreef on the Bushveld Complex, the most profitable PGM deposit in the world.</p>
<p align="justify">Interpretation based on the 2007 drilling encountered high-grade reef-style mineralization associated with chromitite layers occurring within a much thicker envelope of PGM enrichment. Drill hole hole CM2007-04 grades reach 6.3 g/t PGM+Au over 1.2 meters, within a mineralized halo grading 1.0 g/t PGM+Au over 116.7 meters. Interestingly, high grade, chromitite associated PGM mineralization occurs at multiple locations with intervals of 7.6 g/t over 0.3 meters, 6.5 g/t over 0.3 meters, 11.9 g/t over 0.3 meters, and 4.8 g/t over 1.2 meters, (see press release dated March 3, 2008).  The average intercept at Chrome Mountain was 118.2 meters at a grade of 0.66 g/t platinum, palladium and gold with platinum:palladium ratios averaging 1.0:1.4 Stillwater Mining Company&#8217;s, for example, which mines the JM reef has a platinum:palladium ratio of 1.0:3.4.</p>
<p align="justify">The high grade chromitite associated mineralization within the mineralized envelope at Chrome Mountain reflects a periodic culmination of the process in which very high energy magma pulses undergo turbulent interaction with PGM-enriched residual magmas. The fact that multiple high-grade chromitite intervals appear to be present in this area may also reflect proximity to entry points for new magmas. The lithology is also disrupted and lacks continuity between drill holes indicating turbulent conditions during crystallization. Similarly, the interaction between high-energy fresh magma pulses and older, PGM enriched, residual magmas in the Bushveld magma chamber is thought to have produced the high grade PGM deposits of the UG2 chromitite layer.</p>
<p align="justify">A large part of the Chrome Mountain target remains untested and the 2008 drill program will delineate the mineralization encountered last year and will also test additional geochemical and geophysical anomalies located near Chrome Mountain.</p>
<p align="justify">Drilling will begin immediately as soon as upon snow levels allowing access.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify"><strong>FOR RELEASE MAY 15, 2008 AT 6:15 AM PST</strong></p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Premium Exploration, Inc. Announces Review of Chromite Values on their Chrome Mountain Property</strong></p>
<p align="justify">Vancouver, British Columbia (Marketwire &#8211; May 15, 2008) &#8211; Premium Exploration, Inc. (TSX-V:PEM) (&#8220;Premium&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;) is pleased to announce the review of data on chromite values on its Chrome Mountain property.  Due to high demand and an increase in price of chromites, the Company will conduct additional exploration geared to chromites.</p>
<p align="justify">Highlights:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<div>Chromite (Cr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>) values obtained from a U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Bureau of Mines study conducted in 1955, from the central area of Premium&#8217;s Chrome Mountain property:</div>
<ul>
<li>
<div>H-354, 43.8% Cr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3; </sub>H-306a,<sub> </sub>45.6% Cr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>; H-306c, 46.8% Cr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>; and P-284, 47.1% Cr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>. (The analysis were conducted on cleaned chromite samples)</div>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<div>Chromite value has increased in price from just over $0.20/lb in 2003 to over $2.20/lb in April of 2008</div>
</li>
</ul>
<p align="justify">In the Stillwater Complex in Montana, USA, chromite is well known to exist in the ultramafic rock series beneath and to the south of the Lower Banded rock series.  The Lower Banded Series hosts the Johns Manville Reef (JM Reef) currently being mined by Stillwater Mining Company producing about 500,000 ounces of combined platinum and palladium per year from two mine sites.  The JM Reef mineralization is characterized as having a low chromite component with high sulfide content comparable to the Merensky Reef in South Africa.  The rock units can be traced for 40-km southeast to northwest.</p>
<p align="justify">There are four in-place historic chromite resources, as defined by extensive studies which included drilling and underground exploration, which averaged about 23% Cr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3. </sub>See the cautionary statement below. The exploration was conducted adjacent to the Stillwater River near the central portion of the Stillwater Complex where the chromites are well exposed and access is good.  Between 1986 and 1987, the Chrome Corporation of America conducted an extensive feasibility study on the resources and a planned 132,000 ton per year high-carbon ferrochrome operation.  The project was abandoned due to the lack of funding and low commodity prices prevalent at the time.  The Stillwater Complex resources represent 80% of the identified chromite resources in the USA.</p>
<p align="justify">(Cautionary Statement: The technical information presented above, including resource estimates, is historical. Premium has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as current &#8220;mineral resources&#8221; or &#8220;mineral reserves&#8221; as defined in NI 43-101, nor is Premium treating the historical estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. Premium has not verified the scientific and technical information disclosed, including sampling, analytical and test data underlying such information, because  such scientific and technical information was not prepared by Premium. The historical estimates should not be relied upon. The historical resources are not located on Premium&#8217;s property, but Premium considers that these historical estimates provide a conceptual indication of the potential quantity and grade of the mineral resources on their property. There has been insufficient exploration to define any mineral resource and it remains uncertain if further exploration will result in the target of such exploration being delineated as a current mineral resource.)</p>
<p align="justify">The 11 chromitite bands (A through K) that run the length of the Stillwater Complex, cross Premium&#8217;s ground which is located on the west end of the complex for approximately 11 km of the 40 km strike length of the Stillwater Complex.  Premium&#8217;s joint venture partner, Beartooth Platinum Corp. is currently drilling the &#8220;B&#8221; chromitite unit for PGM&#8217;s (see PEM press release dated March 3, 2008).</p>
<p align="justify">In 1989, Inco (American Copper and Nickel Co.) collected 20 samples from the Chrome Mountain area and to the west of the Gish Property on Premium&#8217;s western boundary.  Fifteen samples came from chromite occurrence on the central part of Premium&#8217;s claim block, three are from the Gish Property on the far west end of the complex and two are from the non-chromite high sulfide Frog Pond area of the JM Reef currently being mined by the Stillwater Mining Corporation.  The JM Reef parallels Premium&#8217;s property across the northern shoulder of Chrome Mountain, approximately 750 meters from Premium&#8217;s boundary.  Cr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3 </sub>in the 20 samples collected by Inco ranged from 2% to 37% averaging 21.2% Cr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3 </sub>in the outcrop and trench samples.</p>
<p align="justify">The Inco work was completed in conjunction with the 1955 study completed by US Geological Survey and Bureau of Mines. The four samples collected during the 1955 study were from the central area of Premium&#8217;s Chrome Mountain property. The analysis&#8217; were conducted on cleaned chromite samples returning values and labeled as follws:</p>
<p align="justify">H-354, 43.8% Cr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3; </sub>H-306a,<sub> </sub>45.6% Cr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>; H-306c, 46.8% Cr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>; and P-284, 47.1% Cr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>.</p>
<p align="justify">The last actual mining on the Stillwater Complex for chromitites was conducted between 1952-1962, on behalf of the US Government, by the American Chrome Company. The mine produced 920,000 tons of concentrate averaging 38.5% Cr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3 </sub>from 2,100,000 tons of mined ore. The production came from the Mouat mine area located east of Premium&#8217;s property.  There has been no exploration of the Chrome Mountain chromites beyond historic reconnaissance.  PGM mineralization has been discovered and is currently being explored in the chromitites.  The price of chromite and chrome has skyrocketed due to stainless steel production and use especially in China.</p>

<address> (Source &#8211; Larry Myles Report: Stainless Steel in Crisis! Stainless Steel?; May 2008)</address>
<p align="justify">The Stillwater Complex is known to host 80% of the US chromite resources, which is a necessary metal for production of stainless steel.  The existing resource that has been developed has been defined on the eastern side of the Stillwater Complex and covers approximately 8 km of the 40km strike length of the Complex.  The chromite horizons run the length of the Stillwater Complex and Premium&#8217;s Chrome Mountain property is known to host chromite zones.  Due to the historic low commodity price in the past, exploration had not focussed on defining additional chromite resources.  As a result of increasing consumption of stainless steel and the increased demand for chromite, the commodity price has increased dramatically in the past year.  The Company feels that that the historical estimates provide a conceptual indication of the potential quantity and grade of the mineral resources that may be associated with the chromite horizons on their property.</p>
<p align="justify">The technical information listed in this release includes historical resource estimates and is provided here for illustrative purposes.  Premium has not completed sufficient work to classify these as mineral reserves as defined in NI 43-101.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA</strong>-(Marketwire &#8211; March 3, 2008) -  Premium Exploration, Inc. (TSX-V:PEM) (&#8220;Premium&#8221;) is pleased to announce that Beartooth Platinum Corporation, (TSX-V:BTP) (&#8220;Beartooth&#8221; or &#8220;BTP&#8221;) Premium&#8217;s joint venture partner on its Chrome Mountain Property (&#8220;Property&#8221;) has released the drill results from the 2007 drill program. (See Beartooth news release, February 29, 2008).</p>
<p align="justify">The Property is being explored under a joint venture agreement between Premium and Beartooth (see Premium news release June 5, 2007).  Under the terms and conditions of the joint venture agreement between Premium and BTP, Beartooth can initially earn a 50% interest in the Property by spending USD$3,000,000 over three years on exploration activities on the Property (&#8220;Initial Earn-in.&#8221;)  Upon the completion of the Initial Earn-in, Beartooth can earn an additional 30% in the Property by spending an additional USD$2,000,000 over two years on exploration expenditures on the Property over the subsequent, for a total earned interest of 80% (&#8220;80% Interest.&#8221;)  If Beartooth earns the full 80% Interest in the Property, Premium will retain a 20% Carried Interest in the Property, and a 1% NSR on the combined property.  However, upon the completion of the Initial Earn-in by Beartooth, Premium can elect to maintain a 50% ownership interest in the Property by funding a pro-rata share of all exploration activities and costs with Beartooth on a 50-50 basis.</p>
<p align="justify">The highlights of the drill program are listed below:</p>
<ul class="unIndentedList">
<li>
<div>All holes intercepted anomalous gold + platinum + palladium mineralization with a high of 11.909 g/t.</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>Average intercepts at Chrome Mountain is 118 meters at a grade of 0.66 g/t combined platinum, palladium, rhodium and gold mineralization.</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>The platinum to palladium ratios of the assay results average 1:1.14 indicating that the Chrome Mountain target contains relatively more platinum than the North American average from producers.</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>Rhodium assays for select core returned up to 0.5 g/t rhodium, with rhodium to platinum ratios averaging 8:1.</div>

<p align="justify">The 2007 drill program confirmed the presence of reef style PGE mineralization associated with the &#8220;B&#8221; Chromitite layer at Chrome Mountain.  The 2007 drilling program also encountered a second, previously unknown style of PGE mineralization in the Stillwater Complex.  This previously unknown PGE mineralization at Chrome Mountain is a high-grade reef-style mineralization associated with chromitite layers occurs within a much thicker envelope of PGE enrichment.  In drill hole CM2007-02 from the 2007 drill program, chromitite-associated mineralization reaches grades of 7.9 g/t combined Au+Pt+Pd over a  width of 0.3 meters representing reef-style mineralization.  This mineralization is further enclosed by a halo of additional PGE mineralization grading 1.5 g/t combined Au+Pt+Pd over an interval of 50 meters. Additionally, chromitite associated mineralization in hole CM2007-04 reaches grades of 11.9 g/t combined Au+Pt+Pd over 0.3 meters, with a corresponding mineralized halo grading 1.0 g/t combined Au+Pt+Pd over 116.7 meters.  The assay results indicate high grade chromitite associated PGE mineralization occurs at multiple locations within the PGE-enriched halo.  Five such intervals occur in hole CM2007-04, with respective combined Au+Pt+Pd interval grades of 7.6 g/t over 0.3 meters, 6.5 g/t over 0.3 meters, 11.9 g/t over 0.3 meters, 4.8 g/t over 1.2 meters, and 6.3 g/t over 1.2 meters.  Similar mineralization structures are evident in all of the holes completed in the Chrome Mountain area during 2007 were collared in mineralization, with many of the holes being completely mineralized across the entire length of the core.  Finally, the surface areas with the highest levels of Pt and Pd in previous soil samples were not drill tested during the 2007 drilling program due to logistic difficulties and early snows.</p>
<p align="justify">The UG2 and Platreef are two PGM producing areas of the Bushveld Complex located in South Africa.  The UG2 is a PGM bearing chromite reef with mineralization widths ranging from .7 meters to 1.6 meters. The PGM grades from the UG2 range from 5 to 7 grams per ton.  The mining industry considers the UG2 reef to be one of the highest grade PGM ore bodies in the world.  The Platreef is a low grade bulk tonnage area that is currently a significant producer of PGMs in South Africa.</p>
<p align="justify">Mr. Del Steiner, President &amp; CEO of Premium stated that, &#8220;Premium is very pleased with the comprehensive exploration approach being conducted to date by our joint venture partner Beartooth Platinum Corporation.&#8221;</p>
<p align="justify">Dr. Reid Keays, PhD., of Monash University, a globally recognized researcher of PGE and nickel deposits and a technical advisor to Beartooth commented, &#8220;It is extremely exciting to have the opportunity to examine Beartooth&#8217;s Stillwater results. The mineralization identified at Chrome Mountain appears to have characteristics similar to Platreef and UG2 styles of mineralization in South Africa.  It appears that the processes by which these important world class deposits formed in the Bushveld Complex were also operating in the Stillwater Complex, and indeed may have overlapped to form a combined style of mineralization at Chrome Mountain.&#8221;</p>
<p align="justify">Mr. Mike Johnson President &amp; CEO of Beartooth Platinum Corporation) stated, &#8220;Quite frankly, we were astonished when the assay numbers started to come back from the Chrome Mountain holes. We realized we were looking at enormous volumes of rocks with elevated PGE contents, within which multiple, high grade, Chromitite-associated PGE reefs occur.  We clearly anticipated intersecting Chromitite reef-style PGE mineralization, but the scale of the mineralized envelope is beyond all expectations.  We are anxiously awaiting the opportunity to get back to Stillwater and test some of the areas that we could not reach last year.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE OCTOBER 10, 2007</strong></p>
<p><strong>PREMIUM EXPLORATION COMPLETES 2007 PLATINUM GROUP METALS DRILL PROGRAM ON THEIR CHROME MOUNTAIN JV PROJECT, MONTANA, USA</strong></p>
<p>VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA (Marketwire &#8211; October 10, 2007), Premium Exploration, Inc. (TSX-V:PEM), is pleased to announce the completion of seven holes of the first drill program on the Chrome Mountain Joint Venture Project, located in the Stillwater Mafic Intrusive Complex in Montana, USA.  The Chrome Mountain property is a joint venture with Beartooth Platinum Corporation (TSX-V-BTP).</p>
<p>The 2007 Chrome Mountain drill program was designed to intercept the &#8220;A&#8221; &amp; &#8220;B&#8221; Chromitite Zone which appears to parallel the JM Reef, which produced over 600,000 ounces of Platinum Group Metals (PGM&#8217;s) in 2006. The &#8220;A&#8221; &amp; &#8220;B&#8221; Chromitite Zone is widely believed to be similar to the UG2 Layer of the Bushveld Complex, South Africa, where PGM&#8217;s are currently mined at 5 to 7 g/t (0.132oz to 0.185oz/ton). The drill holes averaged 260m (855ft) deep, and were centered on a ? 1 g/t PGM soil anomaly, covering an area of approximately 2300 meters (7,544 ft) by 1000 meters (3,280 ft), compiled from over 9,000 soil samples collected by BTP during the 2006 field program.</p>
<p>Worth noting, in 2006, BTP&#8217;s drill program on Iron Mountain, which is 7km from Chrome Mountain along the length of the Anomaly, identified zones of high Rhodium values of 1 to 2 g/t within the A and B Chromitites. As of today&#8217;s date, Rhodium is trading at $6,140.00/oz, Platinum at$1,385.00/oz, and Palladium at $372.00/oz.</p>
<p>Beartooth Platinum Corp. has the option to earn a 50% in this project by spending $3,000,000 on exploration over the next three years. The J M Reef, which is part of the Stillwater Mafic Intrusive Complex, and is host to two of the largest PGM producing mines in North America. The Stillwater and East Boulder Mines, owned by Stillwater Mining Company (SMC) have been in production since 1992.</p>
<p>Beartooth Platinum Corp. employs a QA/QC protocol on all aspects of the analytical procedure. Core samples are sawn in half, one half retained for the record and the second half shipped to SGS Assay Laboratory in Toronto for assay.  Samples are collected on a maximum of  1.3m (4 feet), with smaller lengths in areas of interest.  Sample preparation is conducted in SGS&#8217;s sample preparation Lab located in Elko, Nevada and the pulps are shipped to SGS Mineral Services Ltd. In Toronto, Canada for assay, using industry standard fire assay techniques.  A blank sample is inserted within every 50 &amp; 100 ft of core.  Known standards, representing a high and low range of grade are inserted at 25 and 75 ft intervals. Approximately 12.5% of the pulps are re-analyzed by SGS.</p>
<p>The Quality Control and all aspects of exploration program are supervised by Mr. Wilf Struck, P.Eng., the Qualified Person (&#8220;QP&#8221;), in accordance with National Instrument 43-101.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE AUGUST 2, 2007</strong></p>
<p align="justify">VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA (Marketwire &#8211; August 2 , 2007)  Premium Exploration, Inc. (TSX-V:PEM) (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) (<a href="http://www.premiumexploration.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=71&amp;Itemid=7">http://www.premiumexploration.com/</a>) is pleased to announce its 2007 Fieldwork Program on the Pine Claim Shear Zone, an area located within the collective property package of the Company&#8217;s Chrome Mountain Project.  Premium&#8217;s Chrome Mountain Project is located within the Stillwater layered mafic intrusive complex in Montana, host to one of the richest known palladium deposits currently being exploited anywhere in the world, and one of the world&#8217;s leading producers of Platinum Group Metals (&#8220;PGM&#8221;).  The Company&#8217;s Chrome Mountain Project is comprised of the following two main exploration targets:</p>
<ul>
<li>The Pine Claim Shear Zone, hosting gold mineralization.</li>
<li>The &#8220;B&#8221; Chromitite Zone, hosting a large PGM geochemical anomaly.</li>
</ul>
<p>The Company entered into a Joint Venture (&#8220;JV&#8221;) with Beartooth Platinum Corporation (TSX-V:BTP) (&#8220;BTP&#8221;) for the exploration and development of the &#8220;B&#8221; Chromitite Zone (See Press Release Dated June 5, 2007), while retaining the gold rights to the Pine Claim Shear Zone to explore and develop independent of the Joint Venture with BTP.  Premium is simultaneously conducting a fieldwork program on the Pine Claim Shear Zone as BTP independently advances exploration on the &#8220;B&#8221; Chromitite Zone with a 6,100 metre drill program during the 2007 field season.  The JV property parallels the JM reef currently being mined by the Stillwater Mining Company which produces 450,000 ounces of palladium and platinum annually.</p>
<p><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">About the 2007 Pine Claim Shear Zone Exploration Program</span></em></strong></p>
<p>The Pine Claim Shear Zone, which was specifically excluded from the JV, allows the Company to continue exploration on the high grade gold zone that is perpendicular to the strike of the PGM mineralization.  The shear zone is located south of the PGM soil geochemistry anomaly which has an 8.4 kilometre north-west/south-east strike on the joint venture property and is associated with the &#8220;B&#8221; Chromitite.  The Pine Claim Shear Zone hosts significant later occurring gold mineralization that is superimposed on the PGM mineralization.</p>
<p>Historic drilling on the Pine Claim Shear Zone provided the following gold results:</p>
<ul>
<li>PC-2 intersected 26.2 feet containing 16.9 grams/ton Au</li>
<li>PC-3 intersected 3.5 feet of 10.3 grams/ton Au</li>
<li>PC-5 intersected 8.6 feet of 29.7 grams/ton Au</li>
<li>PC-6 intersected 4.5 feet of 11.9 grams/ton Au and a second intercept of 2.4 feet of 37.3 grams/ton Au</li>
</ul>
<p>Premium&#8217;s exploration work to date has consisted of soil sampling and a short drilling program that has extended the Pine Claim Shear Zone both to the north and south.  The Pine Claim Shear Zone converges with the PGM soil anomaly to the northwest.  Based on the results of its 2006 sampling and mapping program in late 2006, the Company staked an additional 28 claims (the Bobcat Claims).  For its 2007 exploration program, Premium will conduct additional mapping and soil sampling to the south on the Pine Claim Shear Zone to coincide with BTP&#8217;s drill program.  Previous petrographic work from the Pine Claim Shear Zone and interpretation concluded that there might be a contact metamorphic overprint to the alteration which can be ascribed to a later occurring intrusive even which mobilized the gold, leading to enrichment along the shear zone.  Additional exploration work is required to further identify the gold and its source.</p>

<p>The 2007 &#8220;B&#8221; Chromitite Zone Exploration program that will be conducted by BTP will principally be focused on investigating the source of a major soil geochemical anomaly on the &#8220;B&#8221; Chromitite layer that overlies the lower part of the Stillwater Intrusive Complex.  To achieve this goal, BTP will complete a CDN$2,000,000 field program over the course of the summer and into the fall of 2007.  The program will include up to 6,100 meters of core drilling on its Iron Mountain property as well as on Premium&#8217;s JV Property located in the Chrome Mountain area.  The first drill is in operation on the property and the program is designed to intersect the &#8220;B&#8221; Chromitite and continue through the basal contact of the intrusion.  The drilling is designed to determine the extent of the mineralization of the &#8220;B&#8221; Chromitite layer and the basal zone sulphide layer which hosts anomalous nickel and copper mineralization.</p>
<p>Additionally a Nickel-Copper Platinum Group Metals (Ni-Cu-PGM) anomaly was identified, by Beartooth&#8217;s geologists, during the course of a 9,000-sample soil geochemical survey completed in 2006.  The Ni-Cu-PGM anomaly extends for a total strike length of 15 kilometres, and is coincident with the interpreted position of the &#8220;B&#8221; Chromitite layer in the basal part of the Stillwater Complex.  The anomaly is open to the northwest.  Drilling in 2006 encountered significant Gold (Au) + Platinum (Pt) + Palladium (Pd) + Rhodium (Rh) mineralization associated with the &#8220;B&#8221; Chromitite layer, including a high intersection of 21.7 g/t combined PGM over 0.55 metres and nickel copper mineralization including a high of 2.14% Ni, 0.13% Cu, and 1.3 g/6 Au + Pt + Pd over 0.18 meters.  The broad nature of the soil anomaly, particularly in the western part of the survey area on the un-drilled JV portion of the Chrome Mountain property, is thought to reflect PGM mineralization associated with the &#8220;B&#8221; Chromitite, as well as disseminated to massive Ni-Cu-PGM mineralization associated with disseminated to massive sulphide zones below the &#8220;B&#8221; Chromitite layer.  The central part of the Chrome Mountain PGM anomaly is 2,500 metres long by 1,000 metres wide with grades up to 1.34 g/t PGM in soils.</p>
<p>Mike Johnson, President &amp; CEO of Beartooth Platinum stated, &#8220;We are convinced that this year&#8217;s field program will confirm the very strong economic potential for both styles of mineralization in the Stillwater Complex.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>FOR RELEASE AT 6:45 AM PST JUNE 5, 2007</strong></p>
<p><strong>VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA</strong>&#8211;(CCNMatthews &#8211; June 5, 2007) - Premium Exploration, Inc. (TSX-V:PEM) (&#8220;Premium&#8221;) (http://www.premiumexploration.com/) is pleased to announce a Joint Venture Agreement on its Chrome Mountain Platinum Group Metals project with Beartooth Platinum Corporation (&#8220;Beartooth&#8221;) (TSX-V:BTP).  Premium&#8217;s Chrome Mountain PGM Project (&#8220;Project&#8221;) is located in the Stillwater Complex in the State of Montana, United States of America.  Under the terms and conditions of the Joint Venture Agreement Premium will contribute its Chrome Mountain Project exclusive of the Pine Claim Gold Shear Zone to the Joint Venture, which Premium will retain and explore independently of the Joint Venture.</p>
<p>The new Joint Venture Agreement follows the successful completion of the 2006 exploration program.  The 2006 work included 2,300 soil samples and documented a major Cu-Ni-PGM anomaly with soil grades up to 1.4 grams PGM from Premium&#8217;s property. (See Premium Exploration Press Release May 24, 2007).</p>
<p>For participating in the Joint Venture Premium will receive the following:</p>
<p>1) Reimbursement of 50% of its previously incurred exploration expenditures on the Chrome Mountain Project.</p>
<p>2) Upon Beartooth completing three million dollars (US$3,000,000) in exploration expenditures on the Project to vest its 50% interest in the project (&#8220;Initial BTP Vesting Expenditures&#8221;), Premium, can at its option maintain its 50% interest in the project by paying for its pro-rata share of exploration expenditures above the Initial BTP Vesting Expenditures If Premium declines the Participatory Option, Beartooth can earn an additional 30% by spending an additional US$2,000,000. Upon Beartooth&#8217;s completion of five million dollars (US$5,000,000) of cumulative exploration expenditures on the Project by January 1, 2011, Premium will retain a twenty percent (20%) carried interest in the Project and Beartooth will own an eighty percent (80%) participatory interest in the Project.</p>
<p>3) A one percent (1%) Net Smelter Royalty (&#8220;NSR&#8221;) on both Premium&#8217;s and Beartooth&#8217;s properties.</p>
<p>Mr. Del Steiner, President and CEO of Premium states, &#8220;Premium is very excited to be working with Beartooth Platinum Corporation.  Along with Beartooth&#8217;s aggressive drill program they bring substantial Platinum Group Metals expertise and resources to our Chrome Mountain Project.  We look forward to working with them to fully develop the potential of the Chrome Mountain Project.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr. Michael D. Johnson, P.Geo, President and CEO, commented &#8220;This agreement is an important step in the exploration and development of the B-Chromitite PGM zone. The agreement increases the total strike length of the prospective horizon available for exploration by Beartooth to 20 kilometers, of which 15 kilometres has now been covered by soil geochemical surveys. The resultant soil anomaly is clearly reflective of continuous bedrock PGM mineralization, which we believe is associated with the B Chromitite. We are extremely excited by the results of last year&#8217;s work, and we look forward to this year&#8217;s drilling campaign where we will test this high quality target along much of its strike length and which we expect to commence at the end of June.  Beartooth anticipates 20,000 feet of drilling which is double that accomplished in 2006.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em>Overview of the Stillwater Complex and Chrome Mountain Project</em></strong>:</span></p>
<p>The Chrome Mountain Project is located in the Stillwater mafic intrusive complex 120 kilometres south of Billings, Montana. The property parallels the JM reef, currently being mined from two sites by the Stillwater Mining Company (NYSE:SWC) for approximately 8½ kilometers on the &#8220;B&#8221; Chromites. Stillwater Mining Company produced approximately 500,000 oz of PGM&#8217;s in 2006. The JM reef runs the entire 41 kilometre length of the Stillwater Complex, and models the Merensky reef in the Bushveld Complex in South Africa; the B Chromitites at Stillwater are thought to mimic the UG2 Chromitites, also in the Bushveld. The UG2 chromitites account for approximately 64% of the PGM production from the Bushveld.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MAY 24, 2007</strong></p>
<p><strong>VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA</strong>&#8211;(CCNMatthews &#8211; May 24, 2007) &#8211; Premium Exploration, Inc. (TSX-V:PEM) (&#8220;Premium&#8221;) is pleased to provide results of a 2,000 sample soil geochemistry survey on its Chrome Mountain Property within the Stillwater Mafic Intrusive Complex, Montana, USA. The results extend a very strong platinum group metal (PGM) soil anomaly associated with the &#8220;A&#8221; and &#8220;B&#8221; chromitite horizons across the Chrome Mountain property for over 4.4 kilometres. Over four kilometers of the strike extension of the zone remains to be explored to the north-west, where additional sampling is planned for the 2007 field season. The map below shows the extent of the soil anomaly on Premium&#8217;s property.</p>
<p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/chrome_mountain_pgm_anomaly.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-55" title="Chrome Mountain Anomoly" src="/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/chrome_mountain_pgm_anomaly.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="382" /></a></p>
<p>The soil sampling program was carried out by Premium&#8217;s Strategic Alliance partner, Beartooth Platinum Corporation (see TSX-V:BTP press release <em>October 10, 2006</em>). A soil anomaly delineated on the contiguous Beartooth property for approximately six kilometers continues northwesterly and increases in size and PGM content on Premium&#8217;s Chrome Mountain Property. Beartooth completed 9,000 soil samples on their property and continued sampling along the strike of the A and B Chromitite horizons on Premium&#8217;s claims.  Sampling on Chrome Mountain covered half of the strike length of the property before weather forced the program to cease.  Assays were completed by SGS Mineral Services in Toronto, Canada.</p>
<p>The soil anomaly, defined by platinum plus palladium greater than 20 ppb, is 4.4 kilometers south-east to north-west and up to 1.7 kilometres wide. Soil samples were taken on a grid with 100 meter line spacing and 25 meter sample spacing. The strongest portion of the anomaly, centered on Chrome Mountain, is 2,300 metres long and 1,000 metres in width. Premium is very encouraged by these results, which are indicative of near surface platinum and palladium mineralization associated with the chromitite horizons. Rhodium was not analyzed for the soils, but previous sampling and drilling by Beartooth demonstrates that a significant amount of rhodium is present in the A and B chromitite layers (see TSX-V:BTP press release December 12, 2006). Premium&#8217;s joint venture partner Beartooth Platinum is designated to follow up on these results with 10,000 metres of core drilling during the 2007 field season. The program is designed to delineate the extent of the subsurface platinum and palladium mineralization.</p>
<p><em><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Overview of the Stillwater Complex and Chrome Mountain Project</span></strong></em></p>
<p>Premium Exploration&#8217;s property is located in the Stillwater mafic intrusive complex 120  kilometres south of Billings, Montana. The property parallels the JM reef, currently being mined from two sites by the Stillwater Mining Company (&#8220;SMC&#8221;). SMC produced approximately 500,000 oz of PGM&#8217;s in 2006.  The JM reef runs the entire 41 kilometer length of the Stillwater Complex, and models the Merensky reef in the Bushveld Complex in South Africa; the A and B Chromitites at Stillwater are thought to mimic the UG2 Chromitites, also in the Bushveld.  The UG2 chromitites account for approximately 64% of the PGM production from the Bushveld. Premium&#8217;s project parallels the reef for about 8 ½ kilometers.</p>
<p>Historically, the Stillwater complex produced chromitite with one of the old producers located near the NW end of Premium&#8217;s property.  The mine operated in 1918 for the war effort and was reopened briefly in 1942 by Anaconda Minerals Co., again for the war effort and strategic metals requirements. The lower unit of the Stillwater Complex hosts copper-nickel mineralization currently being explored on the southeast end of the Stillwater Complex.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>FOR RELEASE AT 6:45 A.M. PST ON OCTOBER 10, 2006</strong></p>
<p><strong>PREMIUM EXPLORATION, INC. ANNOUNCES STRATEGIC EXPLORATION ALLIANCE WITH BEARTOOTH PLATINUM CORPORATION</strong></p>
<p>VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA&#8211;(CCNMatthews &#8211; October 10, 2006) &#8211; Premium Exploration, Inc. (TSX VENTURE:PEM) (&#8220;Premium&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;) (<a href="http://www.premiumexploration.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=16&amp;Itemid=7">http://www.premiumexploration.com</a>) is pleased to announce the execution of a letter of intent to enter into Strategic Exploration Alliance with Beartooth Platinum Corporation (TSX VENTURE:BTP) for the exploration for platinum, palladium, rhodium, copper &amp; nickel precious and base metal horizons at its Chrome Mountain project located in the Stillwater Complex, State of Montana, United States of America.</p>
<p>Under the terms of the letter of intent, the Company has granted Beartooth Platinum Corporation the right to jointly explore with Premium for platinum, palladium, rhodium, copper and nickel on the mining claims controlled by the Company in the Stillwater Complex.  Under this joint exploration program Beartooth Platinum will undertake a mapping, sampling and ground-based geophysical study of the Company&#8217;s claims at its Chrome Mountain project.  As part of this joint exploration program Beartooth Platinum will pay for all costs associated with collection of soil samples, mapping and geophysical studies and the Company will pay all costs associated with the Assaying all the soil samples collected under this joint exploration program.</p>
<p>In conjunction with their ongoing 10,000 meter drill program, Beartooth Platinum has just completed their own 6,000 soil sample program on their Iron Mountain property adjacent to the east of Premium&#8217;s Chrome Mountain property and has moved onto the Company&#8217;s property.  Both the Company and Beartooth Platinum Corporation will have complete ownership rights in the exploration data collected under this joint exploration program.  As part of the letter of intent, Premium has granted to Beartooth Platinum Corporation the right to enter a formal joint venture agreement with the Company.  A form of agreement has been established on a 50-50 basis.  The balance of the terms shall be negotiated at the conclusion of the first phase of work based upon the results if the parties choose to continue.  This Strategic Exploration Alliance specifically exempts out the all gold and silver exploration horizons on Premium&#8217;s Chrome Mountain project and the Company will continue to explore its Pine Claim Gold Shear Zone independently of this Strategic Exploration Alliance. The Company recently staked an additional several hundred meters of the gold shear to the south of the existing property boundary.</p>
<p>Mr. Del Steiner, President &amp; CEO of the Company stated, &#8220;We are excited about the potential of this Strategic Exploration Alliance with Beartooth Platinum Corporation.  Beartooth has retained a world class team to pursue PGM exploration on the Stillwater Complex.  This Alliance will allow Premium to leverage the team to explore our PGM horizons which doubles the overall size of the target between the companies.</p>
<p>Premium has surface samples to 46 grams of PGM per ton while Beartooth&#8217;s highest grade to date is over 90 grams per ton. Premium will focus its internal exploration efforts on its gold targets in Montana and precious metals targets in Mexico. The Company is well positioned to be a leading precious metals exploration prospect generator in North America, and this Strategic Exploration Alliance extends our capacity to execute on our corporate strategy.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr. Michael D. Johnson, President &amp; CEO of Beartooth Platinum Corporation noted, &#8220;This Strategic Exploration Alliance allows for a coordinated and thorough exploration of the PGM horizons that Beartooth Platinum and Premium share in the Stillwater Complex.  Beartooth Platinum already has a fully trained and experienced soil sampling and ground geophysics crew focused on the &#8220;B&#8221; Chromitite anomaly in the Stillwater Complex.  The deployment of our exploration crew to complete a joint soil sampling and geophysical study makes significant strategic and economic sense for both Beartooth Platinum and Premium Exploration.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">About the Stillwater Complex</span></em></strong></p>
<p><a title="Check4" name="Check4"></a>The Stillwater Complex is a 26 mile-long layered mafic intrusive located in the south-central portion of the State of Montana, United States of America, hosting the world&#8217;s richest platinum group metals mineralization.  The geologic structure of the Stillwater Complex is similar in many respects to the Bushveld Complex located in South Africa.  One of the differences between the geology of the two platinum group metals bearing complexes is the grade of platinum group metals being mined.  The Bushveld Complex ranges from 4 grams per tonne to 6 grams per tonne, whereas mining grades of the JM Reef in the Stillwater Complex range from 15 grams per tonne to 21 grams per tonne with credits for copper and nickel.</p>
<p>Currently, the layer known as the JM Reef, extends the entire 26 mile length of the Stillwater Complex and is being mined in two separate locations by the Stillwater Mining Company.  Stillwater is producing 600,000 ounces of platinum group metals on an annual basis from these mines.  The rock layers of the complex are visible as a series of bands, which can be traced across most of the 26 mile strike length.</p>
<p>The &#8220;B&#8221; Chromitite layer is being explored as a parallel layer to the JM reef.  It is also the Company&#8217;s current belief that the later occurring geologic event that tilted the Stillwater Complex, produced a series of perpendicular faults, fissures and shear zones across the southern portion of the Stillwater Complex that created the conditions for the occurrence of hydrothermal remobilization of mineralization to occur in certain locations, like the Pine Claim Shear Zone.  Thus, the Pine claim shear zone represents a later, separate gold occurrence.</p>
<p>Mr. Wilf Struck, P.Eng., geologic consultant to the Company, is the Qualified Person (&#8220;QP&#8221;) responsible for the technical disclosure in this press release, in accordance with National Instrument 43-101.</p>
<p><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">About Premium Exploration, Inc.:</span></em></strong></p>
<p>Premium Exploration, Inc. is a precious metals exploration company focused on prospect generation, evaluation and exploration in North America. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and has assembled an innovative and experienced management and advisory team who are committed to the long-term success of the Company. Premium&#8217;s goal as a prospect generator is to discover precious metal deposits that are strategically located in areas that would allow their profitable extraction, with minimal political, social or environmental risks. Current holdings are in Mexico and the USA. To maximize the possibility of realizing this goal, the company&#8217;s exploration team continues to find and review early-stage projects located within under-explored precious metal belts that host multi-million ounce deposits. By acquiring prospects internally and financing some of them through joint venture partners, the company is able to maximize the potential for discovery while mitigating risk and increasing shareholder value.</p>
