Condor Resources Inc. - ("Condor" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CN) is very
pleased to provide the third report on the 2,084 metre diamond drill program
recently completed by Mariana Resources Ltd. ("Mariana") on the Company's 100%
owned Soledad project. Soledad is located in the Cordillera Negra metallogenic
province approximately 35 km south of the Pierina gold-silver mine, Peru.
Hole 9 (SDH-009) tested Breccia #1 and was drilled at a steep angle (80 degrees
) below, and from the same setup, as SDH-001. The hole was planned to test for
possible higher grade feeder zones and indications of underlying porphyry
mineralization.
SDH-009 intersected 174m of mineralized breccia (from 92m to 266m) that averaged
4.4 g/t AuEq (0.74 g/t Au, 114 g/t Ag, and 1.2% Cu). SDH-009 intersected three
zones of strong quartz-tourmaline-sulphide mineralization, as shown below in
Table 1, and included a deep high grade intersection of 29m of 9.8 g/t AuEq
(1.85 g/t Au, 301g/t Ag, and 2.1% Cu) starting at 236m.

(i)True widths are unknown, and shapes are irregular, but at 200m below
surface, the true horizontal width for the semi-circular Breccia #1 is
estimated at 35 to 40m.
(ii)AuEq assumes US $1200/oz gold, US $18.25/oz silver, US $2.85/lb copper,
and 100% recovery.

Mariana's geologists describe the Breccia #1 clasts as mostly andesite with
intense quartz-sericite alteration in a quartz-tourmaline-sulphide matrix.
Matrix sulphides include pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena and sphalerite. The
absolute and relative gold and silver values increase with depth from 170m to
265m. Breccia clast alteration, increasing veinlets, and increasing copper and
gold/copper ratios up to 250m below surface are interpreted to indicate possible
mineralized porphyry beneath the breccia.
Further drilling results are expected shortly for SDH-011 and SDH-0012; SDH-010
was abandoned at about 55m due to technical problems. Of particular interest is
SDH-012, a near vertical hole, drilled to 437m depth in Breccia #5, to also test
for possible higher grade feeder zones and indications of underlying mineralized
porphyry associated with the cluster of mineralized breccias expressed at
surface within the roughly 1 km diameter area of interest.
Ever Marquez, Condor's Vice President of Exploration, stated "The first stage of
the drill program has successfully confirmed the potential for bulk tonnage,
with gold, copper, and silver confirmed at Breccia #6 (76m of 1.0 g/t AuEq) and
Breccia #5 (96m of 1.5 g/t AuEq). We look forward to pending results from deep
hole SDH-012 in Breccia #5 to confirm the potential for porphyry mineralization
at depth."
The Company currently has three of its properties under active exploration by
third parties, and looks forward to a steady flow of results from these
programs. In addition, the Company is actively seeking partners on its other
projects, and is reviewing new opportunities identified by its Lima based
exploration team.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control: Mariana, the operator of the drill program
have advised as follows: Drilling was performed by Energold Drilling Peru SAC
utilizing an S-2 hydraulic portable diesel rig. All technical information for
the Soledad project is obtained and reported under a quality assurance and
quality control program. Samples are shipped to and assayed by ALS Chemex
Laboratory in Lima, a laboratory whose quality control system complies with
International Standards ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 17025:2005. A four-acid digestion
system with 33 element ICP-AES analysis is conducted on all samples, with
silver, lead and zinc being re-analyzed with atomic absorption spectrometry
method when analyzing over the ICP limits. Gold is assayed using a fire assay
with an atomic absorption spectrometry finish. Systematic assaying of sample
duplicates and commercially prepared blanks is performed for analytical
reliability. Screen fire assays for gold may be carried out on selected samples.
A secure chain of custody is maintained in transporting and storing of all
samples.
