Teihsum River Gold Project Drill Program Commences

VANCOUVER, BC, December 6, 2007 --Grande Portage Resources Ltd. (TSX-V GPG) ("Grande Portage" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the start of a diamond drilling program on the Company's Teihsum River Project {optioned from Silver Fields Resources Inc. ("Silver Fields")}, located 16 kilometres southeast of Port Alice, B.C., on the west side of Merry Widow Mountain.

The Company has signed a contract with Radius Diamond Drilling Ltd. of Prince George B.C. to complete a minimum of 500 metres BQII-size core drilling, with an option to expand the program to 1000 metres drilling, before the year's end.

The property is under option from Silver Fields {formerly, Red Lake Resources Inc. ("Red Lake")}, and was previously drilled in 2004 and 2005 by Red Lake. Red Lake completed six holes totaling 407.83 metres on three targets. Grande Portage will test both strike and depth extensions of the mineralization at the Bridge Zone, which reported 4.18 g/t gold over 2.86 metres, including 14.55 g/t gold over 0.5 metres, from hole T-04 and 4.10 g/t gold over 4.58 metres in hole T-06. A 5 to 7 metre wide gold-bearing graphitic shear zone, along a gabbro/limestone contact host's quartz-carbonate veins and pyrite-arsenopyrite stringers with realgar, has been identified. The zone strikes northeasterly and is vertical to steeply northeast dipping.

Regionally limestone and sediments of the Parson's Bay Formation and andesitic units of the Bonanza Volcanics underlie the Teihsum River property. Both units have been intruded by mafic and felsic dykes of various ages and the gabbroic Coast Copper Stock, which underlies Merry Widow Mountain and is considered an important source of iron for the many skarn occurrences in the area.

The Company plans to drill until the Christmas break and will await assays before continuing in 2008.

By an amending agreement, the Company can acquire a 70% interest and Silver Fields will retain a 30% interest in the Teihsum River Property, if Silver Fields incurs $300,000 in expenditures on the property (with the Company acting as operator) by December 31, 2007, or such later date as may be agreed. In addition, under the amending agreement, the Company's expenditures on the property have been reduced from $500,000 to $200,000 by November 1, 2008, and the Company must still incur an additional $500,000 by November 1, 2010 to acquire its 70% interest.
