VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 05/29/09 -- Adanac Molybdenum Corporation ("Adanac" or the "Company") (TSX: AUA)(PINK SHEETS: AUAYF)(FRANKFURT: A9N) announced today that it has received the final 2009 updated National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") Mineral Resource Technical Report (the "April 2009 Mineral Resource Report") for its 100%-owned Ruby Creek molybdenum deposit located in northern British Columbia, Canada (the "Ruby Creek Project"). The April 2009 Mineral Resource Report was independently prepared by Golder Associates Ltd. ("Golder").

A summary of the April 2009 Mineral Resource Report was provided by the Company in its news release dated April 15, 2009, and as reported at that time, the current estimated total of both Measured and Indicated Resource categories, at a cut-off grade of 0.04% molybdenum ("Mo"), is 275.4 million tonnes grading 0.067% Mo and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 39.1 million tonnes grading 0.062% Mo. The contained Mo (lbs) are in situ and have no mill recovery factors applied to them.

Christopher C. Kirby, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "The April 2009 resource estimate and 3-D model indicates the presence of high-grade mineralization at depth at the west end which is very promising as there appears to be room to grow at depth at the head of the Ruby Creek valley."

The April 2009 Mineral Resource Report is summarized at various cut-off grades in the following table:
