Trade Winds Intersects 6.14 Grams/Tonne Gold Over 8.84 Metres Within the M Zone on Block A Property at Detour Lake, Ontario

Trade Winds Ventures (TSX-V: TWD) (FRANKFURT: TVR) is pleased to announce more results from its 13,000-metre 2007 winter diamond drill program on Block A at Detour Lake, Ontario. Block A is being explored as a 50/50 Joint Venture between Detour Gold Corporation (TSX: DGC) (50%) and Trade Winds (50%), the operator during the exploration phase. The purpose of drilling these four holes, TWDDH-228, TWDDH-229, TWDDH-231 & TWDDH-233 on Section 16060E, is to determine the continuity of the M Zone structural corridor by infill drilling previous excellent results at a 40 meter spacing. The M Zone ultramafic and numerous other gold bearing structures were intersected in all four holes, with gold mineralization ranging from approximately 20 metres to 250 metres below surface and approximately 40 metres above or below previous drilling on this section.

In March of 2006, Trade Winds discovered new, near surface mineralization along the M Zone corridor (see news release May 16, 2006). Phase 1 of this winter's drilling was to explore the mineralization of this new zone along a 480-metre strike between sections 15380E and 15860E. Today's results on these three sections represent the continuation of the Phase 2 infill drilling of the October 2006 Resource Estimate.

On Section 16060E, diamond drill hole TWDDH-228 returned 1.22 grams/tonne over 3.74 metres, 27.70 grams/tonne over 0.50 metre, and 4.66 grams/tonne gold over 2.00 metres.

Diamond drill hole TWDDH-229 returned 6.14 grams/tonne over 8.84 metres including 33.70 grams/tonne over 1.00 metre, 6.87 grams/tonne over 1.25 metres and 2.15 grams/tonne over 8.00 metres.

Diamond drill hole TWDDH-231 returned 18.35 grams/tonne over 1.00 metre, 7.85 grams/tonne over 4.75 metres including 49.70 grams/tonne over 0.50 metre, and 5.58 grams/tonne over 1.00 metre.

Diamond drill hole TWDDH-233 returned 3.30 grams/tonne over 3.00 metres, 20.70 grams/tonne over 0.92 metre, and 3.29 grams/tonne over 3.00 metres.
