Concordia Resource Corp (TSX VENTURE: CCN) ("the Company") is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, Meryllion Minerals Corporation ("Meryllion"), has received results from confirmation sampling undertaken during the recently completed exploration campaign at its Providencia Ag-Cu prospect in northwestern Argentina.

The property hosts Ag-Cu mineralization, and produced some five million ounces of silver between 1986 and 1997 from ore grading between 400-500 g/t Ag. Mineralization is hosted by a gently dipping, poorly consolidated, green conglomerate unit floored and capped by dark red mudstones and white sandstones respectively. The conglomerate unit was the primary target of previous mining, and four shallow open pits were developed - the North, Central, South, and West Pits. Mineralization is open along strike to both the north and south, as well as down-dip to the east within the gently dipping conglomerate unit.

The results received from the channel sampling range up to 4160 g/t Ag and 3.62% Cu (see table below), and the average unweighted values for channel samples collected from the Green Conglomerate Member are 657 g/t Ag and 0.66% Cu. By comparison, the previous channel sampling of the old workings by Cardero in 2003 returned values ranging up to 4064 g/t Ag and 3.97% Cu, and the average unweighted values from the Green Conglomerate Member were 506 g/t Ag and 0.46% Cu.
