Esperanza Reports Cerro Jumil Drill Results

VANCOUVER - Esperanza Resources Corp. reported recent drill results from its Cerro Jumil gold project in Morelos, Mexico. The reported results are primarily from in-fill drill holes designed to upgrade inferred and indicated resources.  Highlights of the drill results are as follows: Drill Hole DHE-12-96 intersected two separate intervals, one with67.5 meters containing 1.0 grams of gold per tonne and another interval containing 12 meters of 1.6 grams of gold per tonne; Drill Hole DHE-12-105 intersected an interval of 105.5 meters containing 1.1 grams of gold per tonne; Drill Hole DHE-12-07 intersected an interval of 148.5 meters containing 0.72grams of gold per tonne, including18.0 meters containing 1.91 grams of gold per tonne; Drill Hole DHE-12-09 intersected an interval of 39.0 meters containing 1.4 grams of gold per tonne, including 12.0 meters containing 2.98 grams of gold per tonne; Drill Hole DHE-12-16 intersected an interval of 60.0 meters containing 1.1 grams of gold per tonne; Drill Hole DHE-12-21 intersected two separate intervals, one with 33.0 meters containing 1.1 grams of gold per tonne and another interval with 124.5 meters containing 1.5 grams gold per tonne.

All intervals are reported as down-hole lengths and are not corrected to true widths for mineralized intervals.There are two drill rigs operating at the Cerro Jumil project. Current drilling is focused on in-fill drilling, extension of the resource to the south west and geotechnical sampling to support the feasibility study currently in process.
