GNT Gentor Resources Inc

Gentor Resources Inc. ("Gentor" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:GNT), through its
Turkish subsidiary, has signed two further Joint Venture Option Agreements in
northern Turkey.


Gentor's President and CEO Dr. Peter Ruxton commented: "Gentor's "back to first
principles" approach in the search for Cyprus-type VMS deposits in Turkey has
resulted in the identification of several surface gossans in distal VMS settings
and led to the negotiation of Joint Venture Option Agreements with two local
Turkish entities. Our work in formulating preferred exploration target settings
and in identifying key prospective geological environments is starting to bear
fruit."

    10% and subsequently convert to a 2% NSR royalty.

    carried through the development stage with Gentor recovering all costs
    from first production plus a loan coupon.



Having discovered further VMS mineralisation, but of insufficient size to
eventually establish a commercial mining operation at the Hacimeter Project,
Gentor has allowed the Besler Option Agreement to expire without continuing to
form a Joint Venture.


OMAN 

In light of continued depressed market conditions, Gentor is proposing to
undertake a strategic review of its Oman properties over the coming months.
