Gold Intercepted During Inaugural Drill Program At Exploradora Norte Project

VANCOUVER - CopperEx Resources Corp. reported on a 1,279-meter reverse circulation (RC) drill program at the Exploradora Norte Project. The eight drill holes were completed in the Agua de la Piedra (ADLP) and Sorpresa zones of the Franja del Oro Target, part of 15-kilometer-long gold enrichment trend that represents one of several gold-copper enriched magmatic hydrothermal centers on the 20,800-hectare Exploradora Norte Project, located in the Eocene-Oligocene porphyry-epithermal belt in Northern Chile.

Dave Prins, President & CEO, said, "The inaugural RC drilling program at Franja del Oro demonstrates the robust gold grades and continuity at ADLP and importantly demonstrates that the newly identified surface gold mineralization at Sorpresa extends to depth and along strike. These results represent a significant step forward for the project and for CopperEx and once again highlight the gold endowment and economic potential of the Exploradora Norte Project. We are extremely pleased to have completed and published the results of the inaugural drill campaign, a little over three months since listing on the TSXV."

John Robins, Technical Advisor to CopperEx stated, "Exploration drilling at Exploradora Norte cut long runs of robust, gold mineralization in the near surface environment at the Sorpresa and ADLP zones which confirms our confidence in the upside exploration potential of Franja del Oro Target. Data from this round of drilling will be used to enhance the lithological, structural and alteration modeling at Franja del Oro which will be leveraged to vector toward additional gold mineralization in the next drill campaign."
