Western Warrior Intersects Multiple High-Grade Gold Zones

Western Warrior Intersects Multiple High-Grade Gold Zones In Diamond Drilling At The Wampum Prospect

Calgary, Alberta (TSX Venture: WWR), March 25, 2008 - Western Warrior Resources Inc. ("Western Warrior") is pleased to provide an update from its ongoing exploration of the Wampum Prospect, one of 23 high priority gold occurrences located on its Pipestone Project. The Wampum Prospect has been the recent focus of exploration activity by Western Warrior and is located 40 kilometres northeast of Nestor Falls in northwest Ontario.

To date, assay results have been received from five drill holes completed (WL07-01 to WL07-05) on the eastern end of the South Zone of the Wampum Prospect with high grade gold mineralization intersected in four holes. The mineralization is associated with a silica-carbonate altered metavolcanic sequence and open on strike and dip. Results from holes WL07-06 to WL07-10 are pending. Drilling continues with a total of 18 holes planned at Wampum. The prospect is part of the extensive Pipestone Project; 100% owned by Western Warrior.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Hole WL07-01 intersected 1.81 g/t Au over 6.10 metres and includes 9.10 g/t Au over 0.77 metres.
• Hole WL07-02 intersected 9.05 g/t Au over 2.81 metres and includes 19.84 g/t Au over 0.73 metres. This hole also intersected 106.19 g/t Au over 0.70 metres in a separate interval.
• Hole WL07-05 intersected 3.57 g/t Au over 3.87 metres and includes 10.88 g/t Au over 0.61 metres.
• Re-sampling of historic drill hole WA6 yielded 6.96 g/t Au over 2.35 metres.
• Chip sampling of historic trench TR2 yielded 4.65 g/t Au over 3.65 metre and includes a narrow sample yielding 51.94 g/t Au over 4 centimetres.
• Grab sample from the historic trench TR12 yielded 77.62 g/t Au.
• Channel C6 sampling yielded 10.53 g/t Au over 3.30 metres.

Complete results are provided in the attached tables with uncut assays only reported. Drilled intersections are provided as down hole widths. True widths have not been determined at the time of the release.

"These are very encouraging results and a great beginning for Western Warrior's exploration drilling program at the Wampum Prospect. Our team is looking forward to a successful 2008 exploration program. Wampum is our current focus but our 2008 exploration program is planned to expand into our greater Pipestone property holdings. Drilling is ongoing and additional results from the Wampum drilling are pending." commented Allen Raoul, Exploration Manager of Western Warrior.

In preparation for this drill program, Western Warrior has re-sampled historic drill holes and trenches and completed channel sampling and detailed mapping at Wampum. Assays from Falconbridge (1986) drill holes yielded Au mineralization up to 6.96 g/t Au over 2.3 metres. Grab samples from historic trenches yielded up to 10.67 g/t Au in the Middle Zone, and 77.62 g/t Au in the North Zone. Continuous sampling from historic trenches in the South Zone yielded up to 4.65 g/t Au over 3.65 metres. Channel sampling of the South Zone yielded up to 10.53 g/t Au over 3.30 metres. The mineralization is interpreted to occur in a +300 metre wide alteration area encompassing the South, Middle and North Zones and is open along strike. A project location map, Wampum Prospect map, and detailed Wampum South Zone map are attached.

Western Warrior's Pipestone Project is located in the Kenora Mining District and is centered approximately 80 kilometres southeast of Kenora, Ontario and 20 kilometres east of Nestor Falls. The Nuinsco Resources Cameron Lake deposit is located immediately adjacent to the northern boundary of the project area and the Rainy River Resources Zone 17 deposit is located west of the southwestern corner of the property. The Wampum Project is located at the site of the old Wampum Lake Mine and is one of over 23 strongly mineralized areas of the Pipestone Project held 100% by Western Warrior.

Drill core is logged and mineralized intervals are split on site at Nestor Falls Ontario, with split samples being shipped to Accurassay Laboratories in Thunder Bay for sample preparation and analysis. Gold is analyzed utilizing the Fire Assay method with an AA finish on a 30g sample. The exploration program is carried out under the direction of Allen Raoul, Exploration Manager for Western Warrior. The information in this release was prepared under the direction of Paul Nagerl, P. Geo., President and Chief Executive Officer of Western Warrior, a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.

Drill hole results and composites provided as uncut assays over drilled down hole widths. True widths have not been determined at the time of the release.

Channel sampling results and composites provided as uncut assays. Channel sampling is continuous and was completed using diamond saw cut over 5 centimetre width and to a 5 centimetre depth. The samples were removed using a chisel.

South Zone historic trench sampling and selected composites provided as uncut assays. TR1 and TR2 samples completed using chip sampling method. Remaining samples completed using diamond saw cut over 5 centimetre width and to a 5 centimetre depth. Sampling is continuous.
