NEWS RELEASE No. 01, 2008

~~NEWS~~ Resignation ~~RELEASE~~of ~~No. 15, 2007~~Directors

VANCOUVER, January 15, 2008 - J-Pacific Gold Inc. (the "Company"; TSXV - JPN, OTCBB - JPNJF) announces the resignations of Mr. Martin Price and Mr. Kazuo Shuto as directors of the Company.

~~Additional~~The ~~promising~~Company ~~drilling~~sincerely ~~results~~thanks ~~from~~both Mr. Price and Mr. Shuto for their contributions to J-Pacific's. The Company does not currently have plans to appoint new directors and its ~~Montgolfier~~board ~~Project~~of directors will now be comprised of five directors.

~~Drilling~~J-Pacific ~~confirms~~is ~~geological~~a ~~model~~junior ~~and~~resource ~~returns~~company ~~anomalous~~focused on gold ~~value~~exploration and mining in Canada. J-Pacific owns the past-producing Blackdome Gold Mine in south-central British Columbia and is completing exploration in immediately adjacent areas, and on the Elizabeth Project, approximately 30 kilometres to the south. In addition, J-Pacific has been actively exploring in Quebec on the Montgolfier Project, 35 kilometres east of the Casa Berardi Project held by Aurizon Mines Ltd.

Assay results are detailed from nine holes testing Target Areas No. 3, No. 4 and No. 8, located in the central part of the property over a strike length of four kilometres. Outstanding results from a further 11 holes in the 2007 program will be released imminently.

Nick Ferris, President and CEO, said, "These results confirm that the Montgolfier Project lies atop a very strong gold system associated with a deformation zone along the Casa Berardi Fault. We continue to prove the validity of our geological model, as we've intersected host rock in a variety of locations. Importantly, these mineralized intercepts were encountered at relatively shallow depths, providing us with a number of attractive follow-up targets at deeper levels. In this central part of the project, hole JPN07-11 is a particularly compelling follow-up target, as we encountered two anomalous gold intersections over significant widths."

At Target Area No. 3, drill hole JPN07-07 intersected 0.30g Au/t over 15.0 metres in graphitic schists associated with the Casa Berardi Fault, at an estimated vertical depth of 207 metres. Minor quartz-carbonate veining in mafic volcanic rock yielded a narrow one- metre intercept grading 0.88g Au/t.

At Target Area No. 4, three holes investigated a chain of banded-iron formations dissected by shear zones. Hole JPN07-11 tested the termination of a banded-iron formation and intersected mostly fine-grained sedimentary rocks interlayered with minor tuffaceous units. Near the end of the hole, two sections yielded weak gold mineralization, including 1.39g Au/t over 3.0 metres and 0.79g Au/t over 6.5 metres.

At Target Area No. 8, four holes, JPN07-12 to JPN07-15, tested faulted banded-iron formation units where they are projected to intersect the Casa Berardi Fault. Holes JPN07-12 and JPN07-14 were drilled to investigate the western termination of a magnetic feature near the interpreted trace of the Casa Berardi Fault. Both holes intersected mostly fine-grained sedimentary and banded-iron formation units. One 50- metre-thick banded-iron formation unit intersected in hole JPN07-14 is slightly anomalous in gold, including 0.62g Au/t over 2.3 metres. Holes JPN07-13 and JPN07-15 were drilled to investigate the eastern termination of magnetic features approximately one kilometre east of JPN07-12. One narrow quartz-carbonate-pyrite vein section in hole JPN07-13 yielded 1.78g Au/t over 1.0 metre. Hole JPN07-15 intersected a weak auriferous zone grading 0.27g Au/t over 2.0 metres.

A map illustrating the location of the drill holes is posted on the J-Pacific website. The characteristics of the boreholes and assay results are presented in the table below.

PROGRAM DETAILS

Target Area No. 3

Target Area No. 3, in the central portion of the Montgolfier Project, was tested with two holes to investigate an apparent resistivity low associated with the Casa Berardi Fault in an area not previously investigated by historical drilling. A fence of two holes was completed. The northernmost hole, JPN07-07, intersected 0.30g Au/t over 15.0 metres in graphitic schists associated with the Casa Berardi Fault. This is similar to what was intersected by hole JPN07-01, approximately six kilometres to the west. Hole JPN07-09, drilled approximately 200 metres behind JPN07-07, did not intersect any significant gold mineralization.

Target Area No. 4

Target Area No. 4, approximately one kilometre southeast of Target Area No. 3, was investigated by three holes. This target is characterized by discontinuous linear magnetic features interpreted as banded-iron formation units segmented by a series of west- trending shear zones, possibly related to the Casa Berardi Fault. It was investigated by three holes targeting edges of the magnetic features over a strike length of 2.5 kilometres. The two westernmost holes, JPN07-08 and JPN07-10, intersected banded- iron formation inside mostly fine-grained sedimentary rock and did not intersect any significant gold mineralization. Hole JPN07-11, investigated the eastern termination of a magnetic feature approximately one kilometre east of JPN07-10. The hole intersected a 55-metre-thick sequence of tuffaceous rock characterized by strong silica and muscovite alteration, and quartz-carbonate veining with disseminated pyrite locally. The tuffaceous rock is slightly anomalous in gold, with two sections characterized by stronger veining and pyrite mineralization yielding 1.39g Au/t over 3.0 metres and 0.79g Au/t over 6.5 metres at vertical depths estimated at 269 and 179 metres, respectively.

Target Area No. 8

Target Area No. 8 consists of a series of magnetic features in close proximity to the interpreted trace of the Casa Berardi Fault. Compilation of historical drilling information revealed that several holes drilled in this area had intersected minor gold mineralization associated with quartz veining and pyrite mineralization south of the Casa Berardi Fault. Four holes investigated the two edges of the magnetic feature.

Two holes, JPN07-12 and JPN07-14, tested the western edge of the magnetic feature on the same section, approximately 200 metres west of a section of historical holes that yielded weak gold mineralization associated with quartz veining. Both holes intersected mostly fine-grained sedimentary rock with narrow banded-iron formation units. One 50- metre-thick banded-iron formation intersected in hole JPN07-14 is slightly anomalous in gold. The contact of this unit with fine-grained sedimentary rock yielded 0.62g Au/t over 2.3 metres at a vertical depth of approximately 160 metres.

Two holes were drilled to investigate the magnetic feature on two sections 150 metres apart. The magnetic features are explained by banded-iron formation units intercalated in mostly fine-grained sedimentary rock; however, the rock is only weakly altered and contains minor quartz veining. Only one narrow auriferous zone was intersected in hole JPN07-13. A one-metre section assayed 1.78g Au/t, associated with minor quartz- carbonate-pyrite veining inside a mafic volcanic subunit. No other significant values were obtained in this hole. In hole JPN07-15, a three-metre-thick zone of semi-massive pyrite with quartz veining was intersected at the contact with a 15-metre-thick banded-iron formation subunit. This zone is anomalous in gold, yielding 0.27g Au/t over 2.0 metres at an estimated vertical depth of 222 metres.

BACKGROUND

The 2007 Montgolfier drilling program focused on eight priority targets generated by SRK Consulting ("SRK"), based on its interpretation of airborne geophysical data acquired in 2005 and an accompanying review of historical exploration work. The program included 26 core holes totalling 9,710 metres, comprising: 12 holes to investigate the main Casa Berardi Fault in five separate areas over a strike length of 15 kilometres; eight holes to test faulted banded-iron formation within the Taibi Sedimentary Sequence south of the Casa Berardi Fault; and six holes to probe two major splays of the Casa Berardi Fault intersecting segmented banded-iron formation in the eastern portion of the property.

The Montgolfier Project straddles the Casa Berardi Tectonic Zone, approximately 30 kilometres east of the Casa Berardi Mine, where Aurizon Mines Ltd. has outlined proven and probable mineral reserves of 4.713 million tonnes grading 7.7g Au/t (equivalent to 1,169,000 oz Au); a measured and indicated mineral resource of 8.495 million tonnes holding 835,400 oz Au; and an inferred mineral resource of 26.865 million tonnes holding 2,162,000 oz Au (Reference: 2007 Aurizon Mines Ltd. 2006 Financial Report, Aurizon Mines Ltd., Vancouver, British Columbia, page 7).

The presence of gold reserves and resources at the Casa Berardi Mine does not necessarily indicate that gold reserves and resources will be delineated on the Montgolfier Project. However, SRK has extrapolated similarities in the stratigraphy and structural setting of the Montgolfier Project to those of the Casa Berardi Mine, as well as to other occurrences of gold mineralization in the Casa Berardi Tectonic Zone.

Assay samples were collected from NQ-size core cut in half lengthwise with a diamond saw. Assay sample lengths vary from 0.2 to 2.0 metres, depending on geology. Gold assays are performed using fire assay procedures with an atomic absorption finish on a 30-gram charge. Assay results grading above 1.0g Au/t are repeated with a gravimetric finish. J-Pacific employs industry best practices quality assurance and quality control procedures for all its exploration programs. All assays are conducted by Laboratoire Expert Inc. in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec. While Laboratoire Expert is not accredited, it is independent, maintains an internal quality control program and participates annually in CANMET round-robin proficiency testing. Analytical quality control measures include the use of replicate assays, certified reference material samples and blanks in all batches of samples sent for assaying.

The drilling was performed by Major Drilling Group International Inc. On-site geological expertise was provided by IOS Services Geoscientifiques Inc., a Quebec-based geological consulting company, under the supervision of SRK's Dr. Jean-Francois Couture, P.Geo., J-Pacific's qualified person for this project for the purpose of NI 43-101, who has reviewed and approved this news release.
