Colorado Resources Provides Update on Exploration Program at Oro Project

COLORADO RESOURCES LTD. ("Colorado" or the "Company") wishes to advise that Gold Fields Selwyn Exploration Corporation ("Gold Fields") has completed its 2013 exploration program which included 13 drill holes totalling 2,614 m on its Oro Property, Yukon, Canada.

Gold Fields noted that although high grade results were not recognized there were sufficient widespread anomalous gold areas to warrant further work. While the results of the 2013 programme were promising, Gold Fields' current exploration mandate is to focus more on near-term development opportunities; it has subsequently provided notice that it will not proceed under the terms of its Option Agreement with the Company.

Details of the exploration programme included:

  • The 13 drill hole program was completed on 5 main zones and spread over an area 5 km wide x 20 km long and only one hole tested the eastern margin of the historical J.O Saddle zone, where previous drilling in 1988 returned 0.5 g/t Au over 66 m in drillhole 85-4
  • Gold Fields undertook a proprietary analysis of the more than 20,000 soil and rock samples that Colorado had taken to date to identify areas considered to be highly prospective for "Carlin style mineralization", which identified 17 areas over a 5 km x 24 km area, of which only 7 of these areas were tested by limited drilling
  • Several of these anomalous zones are up to 600 m wide x 1500 m long and remain untested by drilling.

Further details and results of the program can be found on the Company's website, www.coloradoresources.com.

Adam Travis, Colorado Resources President and C.E.O commented, "Gold Fields has been a good exploration partner and completed initial early stage drilling over a 100 km2 area, which has confirmed the Carlin potential of the area. Their work has laid a good foundation to help vector into areas of possible higher grades. We will be seeking a major partner to continue to further advance this property".
