NEWS RELEASE

SOUTHWESTERN PROVIDES UPDATE ON BOKA GOLD PROJECT IN CHINA

October 4, 2006

Vancouver, B.C. –Southwestern Resources Corp. (SWG-TSX) (“Southwestern” or “the Company”) has received assay results for an additional 23 drill holes at the Boka 1 and Boka 7 properties in China. All assay results from the resource definition drilling program at Boka 1 have now been received, and the updated resource estimate for Boka 1 is now expected to be released before the end of the fourth quarter.

Highlights of the latest drill results include an intersection of 5.9 grams per tonne gold over 14.4 metres in hole B06-173; 4.1 grams per tonne gold over 25.3 metres in hole B06-185; 3.1 grams per tonne gold over 33.6 metres in hole B06-190, and 2.3 grams per tonne gold over 37.5 metres in hole B06-192. For drill hole locations, please see the Company’s website atwww.swgold.com.

Three diamond rigs currently operating at Boka 1 are focused on completing a 50-metre spaced drill pattern, which includes drilling in a previously untested 300- by 200-metre area of Boka 1 South. The first hole into this untested area, B06-191, returned an intersection of 4.1 grams per tonne gold over 12 metres.

Southwestern’s President and Chief Executive Officer John Paterson said the latest results are encouraging. “In particular, we encountered mineralization in the first hole we drilled in the large area  in Boka 1 South that was previously untested. We are now in the process of calculating the updated resource estimate, but we will continue to test this area.”

The Boka project  is comprised of 157 square kilometers of exploration concessions and mining leases in Yunnan Province, and is accessible by 265 kilometres of paved road north of the capital city of Kunming. The pre-feasibility study at Boka 1 is focusing on geological modelling and resource estimation, mining and metallurgy, environmental and social impact studies. The pre-feasibility study is being carried out under the direction of Ausenco Limited and is anticipated to be completed by the second quarter of 2007.

Details of the latest drilling are listed in the following table:

Gold Soil Anomaly Follow-up

Extensive trenching programs have been completed at Boka 8 and Boka 19 in preparation for drill testing. Assay results for samples collected in the trenching programs are pending. Follow-up work is continuing on numerous other gold targets.

Quality Control

Southwestern has a quality control program in place to ensure best practice in lithogeochemical sampling and analysis of soil, rock chips, trench, tunnel and drill core samples.

All drill core samples (approximately two-metre, half-core composites) are shipped directly in security sealed bags to the SGS-China Laboratories preparation facility in Kunming. The entire composite is prepped to –10 mesh and a 500 gram split is sent to the SGS-CSTC Standards Technical Services Ltd. facility in Tianjan for conventional fire assay using a 50-gram charge. Other elements are analyzed using ICP methods at the SGS Canada Inc. facilities in Mississauga.

Exploration samples (rock chip, soil, trench, tunnel) are shipped directly in security sealed bags to the assay laboratory of the Northwest Non-Ferrous Geology Research Institute (ISO 9002) located in Xian, Shanxi Province, China and are digested in an aqua regia acid digestion and analyzed for gold and various other elements using atomic absorption.

The Company submits its own standards as a measure of the accuracy of the analysis. Field duplicates and pulp duplicates are routinely analyzed for precision. Routine assay checks from drill core are made at ALS Chemex in Vancouver, B.C. Sample results are received in batches and not as assays for an entire drill hole.

The exploration program is being carried out by John Zhang, Project Manager for Southwestern in China. John Paterson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Southwestern and a member of AUSIMM, is the project’s qualified person as defined under National Instrument 43-101.

ZINCORE METALS PRICES INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

AND FILES FINAL PROSPECTUS

October 27, 2006

Vancouver, B.C. –Southwestern Resources Corp. (SWG-TSX) (“Southwestern”) announces that Zincore Metals Inc. (“Zincore”), a wholly owned subsidiary, has filed a final prospectus in connection with its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 38 million common shares at $0.50 per share.

The IPO is being underwritten by a syndicate led by Canaccord Adams, and including Raymond James Ltd. and Octagon Capital Corporation. Zincore has granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to two million additional shares at the IPO price to cover over-allotments, if any. Gross proceeds will be $19 million plus an additional $1 million if the over-allotment option is exercised. The IPO is expected to close on or about November 8, 2006.

Southwestern’s President and CEO John Paterson said: “Creating a pure zinc company allows Southwestern to focus on its core gold and copper properties while raising capital for Zincore to advance its promising zinc assets. Southwestern will remain the largest shareholder in Zincore following the IPO and will benefit from its growth and value creation.”

Net proceeds from the IPO will be used by Zincore for exploration, drilling and technical work on its Accha-Yanque zinc oxide project and other zinc properties, as well as general and administrative costs and general working capital. Southwestern will hold 38.6 million shares in Zincore (a 51.74% interest prior to the exercise of any over-allotments), which includes 2.6 million shares issued to Southwestern to repay a $1.3 million loan and two million shares Southwestern purchased in the IPO. Southwestern’s shares are subject to escrow restrictions allowing for equal releases over an 18-month period, and 34 million of Southwestern’s shares are subject to a lock-up agreement for two years from the closing of the offering.

Zincore has received conditional approval for the listing of its common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbolZNC, subject to Zincore fulfilling all the final listing requirements of the TSX.

About Zincore

Zincore’s strategy is to become a leading, low-cost zinc producer with the immediate objective of advancing its Accha-Yanque zinc oxide project toward a development decision through a disciplined process of exploration, drilling and resource definition, and technical studies. The company holds a portfolio of other zinc exploration properties in southern Peru and intends to pursue additional zinc opportunities elsewhere in Latin America and China.

Exploration samples (rock chip, soil, trench, tunnel) are shipped directly in security sealed bags to the assay laboratory of the Northwest Non-Ferrous Geology Research Institute (ISO 9002) located in Xian, Shanxi Province, China and are digested in an aqua regia acid digestion and analyzed for gold and various other elements using atomic absorption.

The Company submits its own standards as a measure of the accuracy of the analysis. Field duplicates and pulp duplicates are routinely analyzed for precision. Routine assay checks from drill core are made at ALS Chemex in Vancouver, B.C. Sample results are received in batches and not as assays for an entire drill hole.

The exploration program is being carried out by John Zhang, Project Manager for Southwestern in China. John Paterson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Southwestern and a member of AUSIMM, is the project’s qualified person as defined under National Instrument 43-101.
