| JASPER MINING CORPORATION 1020, 833 - 4TH AVENUE S.W. CALGARY, ALBERTA, T2P 3T5 TELEPHONE: (403) 297-9480, FAX: (403) 266-1487 March 9, 2007 PRESS RELEASE JASPER MINING CORPORATION ACQUIRES ADDITIONAL TENURES BETWEEN LYDY AND MCFARLANE PROPERTIES The properties are located east of a prominent aeromagnetic anomaly associated with the Crawford Stock, a biotite granite intrusion of Cretaceous age correlated to the Bayonne Magmatic Belt. Many of the Cretaceous intrusions of the Bayonne Magmatic Belt have strong aeromagnetic signatures and are associated with anomalous molybdenum mineralization. Furthermore, the property is located immediately south of, and contiguous with, Eagle Plains Resources Ltd.’s (“Eagle Plains”) Sphinx property, for which an Inferred Resource of 62,005,615 tonnes grading 0.035% Mo, using a cut-off grade of 0.01% Mo, was recently announced (see their Press Release dated May 9, 2006). The resource is associated with an interpreted Cretaceous age intrusive body, with mineralization occurring as “disseminations and within quartz-pyrite stockwork veins hosted by both sedimentary and intrusive rocks”. An airborne geophysical program, completed by Aeroquest International in 2006, documented strong conductors oriented north-south, interpreted to represent a steeply dipping stratigraphic sequence correlated to the uppermost Purcell Supergroup and lowermost Horsethief Creek Group. As previously reported (see Press Release dated August 3, 2006), a prominent and very strong magnetic anomaly is evident on the Aeroquest data, extending essentially northsouth and has a sharp, possibly faulted, eastern termination. Underlying the majority of the property is a broad magnetic low, sub-parallel to the geology as previously mapped. However, a spatially coincident EM high is oriented slightly oblique to the magnetic anomaly and has a subtle anomaly trending south-southwest which may represent a response to the mineralized Cretaceous intrusive. Taken together with the results released by Eagle Plains on their Sphinx property, (Eagle Plains Press Release dated February 7, 2007 and Technical Reports of May, 2006), the host intrusion may be localized along a fault and, therefore, controlled by the north-south structural trend. Previous drilling on the Lydy property documented alteration and sulphide mineralization (pyrrhotite) interpreted to be consistent with proximity to an intrusive heat source, however, no molybdenum mineralization was documented. Further drilling to the west was proposed but limited by proximity to the western boundary of the property. However, with the addition of the tenures recently acquired, the Company now has ample room to adequately evaluate the interpreted molybdenum potential along the joint McFarlane/Lydy property boundary. In addition, further interpretation is being undertaken on the McFarlane property to further define geophysical anomalies tentatively interpreted to represent speculative molybdenum targets. The interpretation is being undertaken by Aeroquest International on the data acquired through the airborne geophysical program completed in 2006 (see Press Release dated August 3, 2006). Further drilling has been proposed for the 2007 field season subsequent to receipt of the results of the additional interpretation. This press release has been prepared by Richard T.
