Tenajon Announces Moly Brook Zone Molybdenum Resources

Tenajon Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:TJS) (the "Company") today announces that a
resource estimate has been completed on the Company's Moly Brook Zone. The zone,
one of three identified on the Company's 100% owned Moly Brook Property, is
located 2 kilometres north of the village of Grey River on the south coast of
Newfoundland and less than 4 km from a deep water, ice free navigable fjord.


Highlights of the Resource Estimate (at a 0.04% molybdenum cut-off):

- 124.6 million pounds of molybdenum in Indicated Resources

- 38.6 million pounds of molybdenum in Inferred Resources

- 120.0 million pounds of the Indicated Resources and 32.1 million pounds of the
Inferred Resources are contained within a pit shell which has an estimated strip
ratio of 2.03:1


- Potential for a higher grade starter pit with an estimated strip ratio of
1.09:1 hosting Indicated Resources of 43.4 million pounds of molybdenum and
Inferred Resources of 4.3 million pounds of molybdenum


- The Moly Brook Zone is still open for expansion along strike and at depth

The resource estimate was prepared by Kirkham Geosystems Ltd., an independent
consulting firm. At a cut-off of 0.04% molybdenum ("Mo") Kirkham estimates the
Moly Brook Zone to contain an Indicated Resource of 86.8 million tonnes grading
0.065% molybdenum representing 113 million pounds of molybdenum and an Inferred
Resource of 31.3 million tonnes grading 0.056% molybdenum representing 38.6
million pounds of molybdenum. The zone is open along strike and at depth.


"We are pleased to have outlined resources after only two years of field work at
the Moly Brook Property," says Bruce McLeod President & CEO of Tenajon, "The
results of the resource estimate shows that the Moly Brook Property hosts a low
strip, bulk tonnage molybdenum deposit with very good logistics in a politically
stable environment. Furthermore, with only one of the three zones explored, the
Moly Brook Property has the potential to significantly expand the Company's
molybdenum resources, which also includes the Ajax Deposit, which hosts an
Inferred Resource of 483.1 million tonnes grading of 0.061% Mo and an Indicated
Resources of 69 million tonnes grading of 0.068 at a cut-off at 0.04% Mo."


The current resource incorporates the results of 43 drill holes totaling
16,188.2 metres in length. Four of the holes were drilled by a previous operator
with the remaining 39 holes, totaling 15,129.72 metres in length, being
completed by Tenajon in 2007 and 2008.


Preliminary studies demonstrate that nearly all of the Moly Brook Zone as
defined by the 0.04% molybdenum cut-off, lies within a pit shell with an
estimated strip ratio of 2.03:1. Within the main pit, there is potential for a
starter pit hosting an indicated resource of approximately 27.1 million tonnes,
averaging 0.073% molybdenum (43.4 million pounds Mo) and an inferred resource of
3.3 million tonnes averaging 0.060% molybdenum (4.3 million pounds Mo) with a
strip ratio of 1.09:1. Additional engineering studies are required to determine
the economic parameters and optimize the pit.

The data and methodology utilized for the Resource Estimate, described below,
was taken from a resource estimate report completed by Kirkham Geosystems Ltd
under the direction of Garth Kirkham, an independent qualified person as defined
by National Instrument 43-101. A technical report detailing the Resource
Estimate will be filed on www.sedar.com within 45 days.


The database consists of a total of 43 drill holes which includes 2 holes
drilled in 1995, 2 holes drilled in 1996, 12 holes drilled in 2007, and 27 holes
drilled in 2008. Drill hole data was composited to 5 meter intervals.


Bulk densities were estimated based on 1,708 measurements taken during from
drill core. An average bulk density of 2.71 was used for tonnage calculation.


Sectional interpretations were created for the Moly Brook Deposit. These
sections were then wireframed to form a solid which were then edited to match
the drill hole intercepts precisely in 3D. The solids were used to then code the
drill hole assays and composites for subsequent geostatistical analysis and for
block matching in the grade interpolation process.


0.21% copper and 0.26% molybdenum was chosen as the most reasonable threshold at
which to cut grades. In addition, the range chosen at which to limit grades
greater than threshold was 30 meters. Less than 0.24% of the composites were
cut.


The block size chosen was 10m x 10m x 10m oriented orthogonally in an effort to
adequately descretize the mineralized zones so as not to inject an inordinate
amount of internal dilution and to somewhat reflect drill hole spacing
available.


The choice of interpolator was inverse distance to the 3rd power for the Moly
Brook deposit. Nearest neighbour, inverse distance and ordinary kriging were run
for all deposits for comparison and validation purposes.


The three estimation passes were used to estimate the Resource Model because a
more realistic block-by-block estimation can be achieved by using more
restrictions on those blocks that are closer to drill holes, and thus better
informed.


Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated
economic viability. Mineral Resource estimates do not account for mineability,
selectivity, mining loss and dilution. Inferred Mineral Resources are normally
considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied
to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is
also no certainty that these Inferred Mineral Resources will be converted to
Measured and Indicated categories through further drilling, or into Mineral
Reserves once economic considerations are applied.


Moly Brook Property's Exploration Potential

The Moly Brook Zone is one of three zones of molybdenum mineralization located
within a 2.5 km long trend that also includes the Wolf and Chimney Pond Zones.
The Wolf Pond Zone is located 800 metres south of the Moly Brook Zone. Rock
sampling at Wolf Pond has outlined a 270 x 200 metre zone of sheeted veining
hosting anomalous molybdenum values. Grab samples assayed up to 0.220%
molybdenum while chip results include 3, 2.5 and 3 metre samples respectively
assaying 0.191, 0.204 and 0.148% molybdenum. Channel sample results include 2.5
and 3 metre samples assaying 0.122 and 0.185% molybdenum. The zone has never
been drilled.


The Chimney Pond Zone is located approximately 600 metres south of the Wolf Pond
Zone. A 1960's soil survey outlined a 400 metre long by 300 metre wide zone of
anomalous molybdenum geochemistry. Both packsack holes drilled into the zone
intersected molybdenum values throughout their entire length with one of the
holes intersecting a 27.44 metres averaging 0.057% molybdenum. This historic
data was collected before the implementation of NI 43-101 and is presented only
for information purposes. The Company has no way of verifying the results.
Investors are cautioned that recent independent verification has not been
completed and the historical results cannot be relied upon. In 2008 limited
sampling was completed within the boundaries of the soil anomaly. Of the ten
samples collected four returned values in excess of 0.050% molybdenum.

programs at the Company's Moly Brook and Ajax properties.
