VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - July 09, 2008) - Brian
McEwen, President and CEO of Buffalo Gold Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:
BUF)(OTCBB: BYBUF)(FRANKFURT: B4K), is pleased to report that Buffalo
is extending its concentrate sales agreement with MRI Trading AG
("MRI") of Zug, Switzerland to include all concentrates for the life
of the Furtei Mine in Sardinia.
 
As previously reported in Buffalo News Releases of February 13th,
2008 and April 21st, 2008, Buffalo had entered into agreements to
sell concentrates from Furtei to MRI, including up to 5000 tonnes of
gold-pyrite and gold-copper concentrates this year and up to 14,500
tonnes of gold-copper concentrates in 2009. The new agreement
includes even more favourable terms than the previous ones, and
includes the sale of all concentrates produced over the life of the
mine.
 
Buffalo has recently made its first shipment of gold-copper
concentrate. These concentrates grade 90-100 g/t Au and 10-18% Cu,
significantly higher than the 12-18 g/t Au gold-pyrite concentrates
produced and sold to this point. Gold-pyrite concentrates were
produced from the Sa Perrima and Su Masoni open pits this year. More
recently, Buffalo has worked the lower portion of the Su Masoni pit
to produce the enargite-rich ore for the gold-copper concentrate.
 
"The high-grade enargite ore at Furtei is, by nature, high in
sulphide and arsenic levels, making the concentrate a difficult
product to market even with the high gold and copper levels," reports
Mr. Mcewen. "We are therefore very pleased to have started mining and
selling this material, and to have extended our relationship with MRI
to include the sale of all concentrates over the life of the mine. We
look forward to the increased revenue stream that this recent
shipment and futures ones will bring to fuel our growth as a mining
company."
