Magnus International Resources Inc. Updates on Current Drilling at Mangshi Property and Provides Summary of Previous 2004 Channel Sampling Program.

LAS VEGAS -- Magnus International Resources, Inc. ("Magnus") ("the Company") (OTCBB:MGNU)is pleased to provide the following update in relation to the ongoing drilling program at its Mangshi property and a summary of results from a 2004 channel sampling program from the Maiwoba - Guoyuan - Mulingba Gold trend, which runs through the Mangshi property.

The Mangshi property is located within the Luxi Gold Belt, a 40km geological trend in western Yunnan province. Work-to-date has outlined a potentially large (3km by 300m) gold-mineralized zone with simple geology and near-surface mineralization allowing for the commencement of a 7,500m drilling program in December, 2005. The confirmation of the downward extension of the gold mineralization already outlined at the surface would strongly indicate an emerging model of a potentially large sediment-hosted gold deposit of the "Carlin" type.

Drilling Update

The exploration program for the Mangshi Property currently focuses along the Maiwoba - Guoyuan - Mulingba Gold shear zone. Testing along this trend has comprised, and will continue to comprise, additional detailed mapping and sampling of mineralized  rock and identified breccia zones, as well as the pit floors from the small-scale oxide ore mining operations of Magnus' joint venture partner, Team 209. Detailed drill target definitions based on mapping, sampling, and geophysical surveying allowed Magnus to begin an initial 7,500 meter diamond core drill program to test the depth extent of the Maiwoba - Guoyuan - Mulingba Gold trend in December, 2005.

As of January 10, 2006, almost 2,000 meters of drilling in six drill holes had been completed, with two additional holes underway, as summarized below:

HQ diameter drill core is being sawed on site in the initial part of the core sampling process. SGS Laboratories has been contracted to supervise and manage crushing and pulverizing of core in an on-site facility prior to sending prepared samples to SGS China for analysis. Under the arrangement, SGS will assume sample chain of custody as soon as drill cores arrive at the on-site preparation facility.

Gold analysis results from the first and second holes are expected to be delivered to the Company by SGS Laboratories during the week of the 16 to 22 January, 2006.

In addition, a dipole-dipole Induced Polarization (IP) and Resistivity geophysical survey has been executed by the Yunnan Institute of Geophysics and Geochemistry. The IP survey, once analyzed, will identify zones of sulphides (pyrite) and zones of silicification along the depth extent of the northwest-dipping fault and shear zones believed to control Gold mineralization in the area.

2004 Surface Channel Sampling Results

Channel sampling completed in August and September of 2004 by previous workers at the Mangshi property revealed interesting grades and thicknesses over significant mineralized widths within the Gold Maiwoba - Guoyuan - Mulingba trend, which runs through the Mangshi property. Channel sample Gold results from the Maiwoba area were reported in the document: "Report on the Exploration Potential of the Mangshi Gold Property", completed October 4, 2004 by Ruben Verzosa, a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101 of Canada.

The Maiwoba Area is situated within an identified Gold trend defined by greater than 100 ppb Gold in soil. Channel sampling of weathered bedrock identified elevated Gold concentrations in weathered rock along significant sampling widths. Sampling was completed at discontinuous intervals across a general east-west Gold-mineralized trend, largely within brecciated Permian dolomites. Year 2004 sampling results identified widths and grades of 54 meters at 1.74 g/tonne Gold, 34 meters at 1.72 g/tonne Gold, and 40 meters at 2.63 g/tonne Gold.

Please see the update report with diagrams and photographs of these channel sampling results under the Mangshi property section of the Magnus website.
