Amato Exploration Provides Update On Its Website And Mexican Exploration Program

 VANCOUVER, BC, May 25, 2009 /CNW/ - Amato Exploration Ltd. (the "Company" or "Amato") (TSX-V: AMT), www.amatoexploration.com, today confirmed that its new website is now fully functional and provided an update on its ongoing mineral exploration activities in Mexico.

Website

The Company is pleased to announce its new website is now fully functional containing the most up to date information on the Company and will be continually updated as additional information is available.

Phase One Exploration Commences at the Colosio Property

A technical report prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 on Amato's Colosio property by Stephen De Wit, P.Geol. was received by the Company on December 8, 2008. In this report, De Wit recommended a two-phase, success-contingent exploration program at Colosio. Phase One of this work program has now been initiated and an exploration crew, that includes Company geologists and directors Mr. Sean McKinley and Mr. Paul McGuigan, has been dispatched to the property.

The Colosio Property is located within the Sierra Madre Occidental ("SMO") in western Chihuahua State, in northern Mexico. The SMO is a prolific geological belt that hosts numerous precious and base metal deposits. The Colosio Property is prospective for silver-rich epithermal mineralization. Small-scale mining of high-grade silver veins has occurred at Colosio since colonial times, but the property has seen no modern exploration including diamond drilling.

The ongoing Phase One exploration will include geological, geochemical and geophysical studies. This work will follow-up on the positive results of the 2008 exploration program and will aim to identify the most prospective targets for future diamond drill testing.

New Property Examinations Initiated

In addition, the Company has initiated a program of property examinations in Mexico in order to expand its mineral exploration portfolio in that region. A second exploration crew is currently in Mexico to evaluate potential new acquisitions for the Company. Amato is focusing its efforts on mineral projects in North America, and particularly in Mexico.

The technical content of this news release has been prepared under the supervision of Messrs. McKinley and McGuigan, who are each a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101.
