CHICAGO, IL -- (MARKETWIRE) -- 07/05/07 -- Tara Gold Resources Corp. (PINKSHEETS: TRGD) (FRANKFURT: T8N) is pleased to announce that Columbia Metals Corp. Ltd., the operator of Lluvia de Oro gold mine, has approved the start up of commercial operations. This recommendation is consistent with the pre-feasibility report received in April of this year.

Columbia will seek to restart commercial production at the Lluvia mine by implementing the first phase recommended in the pre-feasibility study, namely crushing and releaching gold-bearing material on the existing leach pad. This material consists mainly of oversized and incompletely leached run-of-mine (ROM) boulders, which were placed on the pad during mining operations in the 1990s. This is the first step towards a return to full-scale production on the property.

The Lluvia de Oro gold mine was in production from March 1996 to June 1998. Leaching continued until the first quarter of 1999. The plant and mine have been idle since the end of 1998, but records indicate that an estimated total of 72,528 ounces of contained gold was mined from the pit while total reported gold recovery was approximately 42,420 ounces. Of an estimated total 2,921,025 tonnes of ore that were placed on the pad, only 570,900 tonnes were crushed, while the remaining 2,350,125 tonnes of material were sent directly to the pad as run-of-mine material.
