IRI IEMR Resources Inc

Aquiline Resources Inc. ("Aquiline" or the "Company") (TSX:AQI) is pleased to
announce the closing of the previously announced purchase of all of the right,
title and interest held by Monterrico Metals PLC ("Monterrico"), in the Pico
Machay gold project in Peru (the "Pico Machay Gold Project"). The Pico Machay
Gold Project is a high-sulphidation gold deposit located in the Huancavelica
Province of Peru. Pico Machay contains an inferred resource of 437,000 ounces of
gold in oxide and mixed zones and a further 146,000 ounces in sulfide zones, as
stated in the technical report dated October 27, 2006 entitled "Independent
Technical Report, Pico Machay Gold Deposit" prepared by Caracle Creek
International Consulting Inc. and filed on SEDAR under Absolut Resources Corp.
(the "Pico Machay Technical Report").


The transaction was implemented pursuant to a share purchase agreement (the
"Share Purchase Agreement") whereby Absolut Resources Inc. ("Absolut"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, purchased all of the issued and
outstanding shares of Pico Machay Cayman Limited ("Pico Cayman") from
Intercontinental Resources Inc. ("IRI"), a subsidiary of Monterrico. Pico Cayman
holds all but one of the issued and outstanding shares in Minera Pico Machay
S.A.C. ("Pico Peru"). Minera Calipuy S.A.C., an indirect subsidiary of the
Company, purchased the remaining one share in Pico Peru from Minera Coripacha
S.A.C., an indirect subsidiary of Monterrico. Pico Peru holds the registered
title to the Pico Machay Gold Project. As a result of these purchases, the
Company now holds all of the issued and outstanding shares in Pico Peru.


The total purchase price was US$7.8 million, of which US$1.2 million was paid on
or before closing, and US$6.6 million is outstanding and reflected by the
issuance by Absolut of a promissory note in favour of IRI (the "Note"). The Note
has a two year term, and is payable in eight quarterly installments of
US$825,000 each. The Note bears no interest, unless there is a default on any of
the payments in which case a default interest rate equal to 5% above the
floating LIBOR rate will apply to the defaulted payment and the full remaining
balance commencing 30 days after the due date of such first defaulted payment.
After the first payment default, any subsequent payments must be made on their
due date; if payment is made one day late, then Monterrico has the right to
exercise security and accelerate payment of the full balance including interest.
The Note is secured by (i) a guarantee from the Company for Absolut's
obligations under the Note and for certain indemnity obligations of Absolut
under the Share Purchase Agreement, (ii) a pledge of shares in Pico Cayman;
(iii) a pledge of shares in Pico Peru; and (iv) a mining mortgage in the Pico
Machay Gold Project. The pledges and the mining mortgage will be released once
the Note is paid in full. The guarantee has a term of five years from the date
of signing. The Note is not assignable, and in case of a change of control of
Aquiline, Absolut, Pico Cayman, or Pico Peru the Note will become immediately
due, unless IRI consents to the new controlling person assuming the obligations
of Aquiline and/or Absolut, as applicable.


"We are very pleased with the completion of this transaction," said Marc
Henderson, President and CEO of Aquiline. "The Pico Machay Gold Project is a
conventional dump leach operation with internal feasibility and environmental
studies completed to satisfy permitting regulations in Peru. We expect to be
able to submit our final permit applications within the fourth quarter of 2009,
at which time we will be able to set market expectations regarding our timeline
to first gold production."


Mr. Dan Noone, a member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists and is the
Vice President of Peruvian Operations for Aquiline, is the Qualified Person for
the Pico Machay Gold Project in accordance with NI 43-101. Mr. Noone has read
and approved the contents of this news release.


ABOUT AQUILINE

CAUTION REGARDING INFERRED RESOURCES

The inferred resources at the Pico Machay Gold Project contained in this press
release are preliminary assessments only. A preliminary assessment is
preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are
considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations
applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves.
Accordingly there is no certainty that the preliminary assessment will be
realized. You should review the Pico Machay Technical Report which discusses the
basis for the preliminary assessment and the qualifications and assumptions in
respect thereof.

"Inferred Resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence
and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or
any part of an inferred resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category.
Under certain Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred resources may not form the
basis of feasibility or other economic studies.
