VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Oct. 5, 2009) - New World Resource Corp. (TSX VENTURE:NW) (the "Company") announces the results of the Pastos Grandes salar brine sampling program.

The Company collected a total of 15 brine samples and 4 surficial water samples on a modified grid covering the entire Pastos Grandes salar. The Company's Pastos Grandes project covers the eastern section of the salar. The results listed below are split into the eastern and western sections of the salar.

The results of this sampling program are consistent with historical sampling conducted by the US Geological Survey and the University of La Paz, demonstrating high lithium content of over 1,000 parts per million ("ppm") and a very low Magnesium / Lithium ("Mg/Li") ratio of 2.77 at Pastos Grandes. The data also confirms high levels of Potassium ("K").

The Company's exploration team is now mobilizing to the project for additional follow-up sampling and site examination with consultants that have expertise in brine exploration techniques to design the next phase of exploration.

Pastos Grandes Concession

The Bolivian Altiplano is host to many alkaline and saline lakes and salars including the Salar de Uyuni which hosts the world's largest known lithium reserve. Pastos Grandes is located approximately 113 kilometres south southwest from Salar de Uyuni, within the same geological and geographical setting. This hyper saline lake/salar basin is surrounded by intermittent rivers and thermal springs discharging waters into the salar. The Pastos Grandes salar is elliptical in shape with the major axis of trending NW -- SE and covers an area of almost 120 km2.
