MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(MARKET WIRE)--Dec 4, 2008 -- Yorbeau Resources Inc. ("Yorbeau") (Toronto:YRB-A.TO - News) is pleased to report that it has intersected a 3 m interval along core axis of silicified Piche Group rocks showing disseminated visible gold (see photos attached and on web site) within a broader zone of silicified Piche rocks, in hole 08-CI-467, on the Cinderella block of its Rouyn property.

Hole 08-CI-467 is approximately 390 m in vertical depth, some 130 m deeper than hole 08-CI-464 which returned 8.1 g/t over 7 m along core axis (press release dated September 25, 2008). This hole (08-CI-467) is the first of three additional holes that will be drilled on the Cinderella block before the end of 2008 and for which assays are pending.

"We believe that we are drilling the upper portion of a major gold zone on the Cinderella block that it is plunging steeply to the NNW, and the mineralization in this hole supports this concept. The Cinderella block constitutes another prime target area on the Rouyn property along with the lac Gamble sector. There is significant upside potential to the Cinderella zone" said Dr. Thomas L. Robyn, President and CEO of Yorbeau.

The following table shows where visible gold was observed in the core of hole 08-CI-467 from the Cinderella block target:

The visible gold is observed in a stockwork of smokey quartz-sericite-carbonate-tourmaline veins in highly-altered and silicified ultramafic rocks of the Piche Group. The silicified Piche in this hole has a minimum thickness of 22.4 m along core axis, and at the time of writing this press release, the silicified Piche was still present at a core depth of 414.5 m and drilling has not yet completely penetrated the silicified zone. The Company considers this hole to be a significant intercept.

The qualified persons under National Instrument 43-101 are Thomas L. Robyn Ph.D., CPG, RPG and Louis R. Bernier P.Geo., Ph.D., both of whom are Directors of the Company.

Samples are analyzed by ALS-Chemex in Val-d'Or, Quebec. All samples are first analysed by fire assay with an assay charge of 50 grams. Samples returning more than 3 g/t are redone by fire assay followed by gravimetric method. Samples returning more than 6 g/t and those with visible gold have their rejects analysed by metallic sieve method. Yorbeau has implemented a QA/QC program that consists of insertion of blanks and gold standards in batch samples being sent to the assaying laboratory. Selected pulp samples will also be re-analysed by a different laboratory.
