Colorado Resources Announces 402m of 0.28 % Cu and 0.27 g/t Au in Step-Out Hole 400m Southeast of North ROK Discovery Hole 1
August 28 2013 - 8:57AM
Marketwired Canada
COLORADO RESOURCES LTD. (TSX VENTURE:CXO) ("Colorado" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce the results of nine additional drill holes (3,148 metres)
from the ongoing drill program at its 100% owned North ROK property (the
"Property"), located 15 kms northwest of Imperial Metals' Red Chris mine in NW
British Columbia. In addition, the Company announces that it has received
approval from the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Natural Gas ("MEMNG") to drill
an additional 40 holes on the Property.
Drill holes NR13-005 through NR13-009, NR13-012 and NR13-013 were drilled on
100-200 metre step-outs along strike to the southeast of discovery hole
NR13-001, while drill hole NR 13-011 was drilled 100m to the northwest of the
discovery hole. Drill holes NR13-006, NR13-007 and NR13-013, which stepped back
to the southwest, have also returned mineralization 150m off the main trend and
may indicate the presence of a second, parallel zone developing in this area.
The Company is very pleased with the progress it has made in defining the size
of the North ROK porphyry body, and demonstrating the continuity of
mineralization on multiple sections over a 500m strike length. NR13-013 in
particular, drilled over 400 metres along strike SE from the initial discovery
drill hole, has returned an impressive 402.2 metre interval grading 0.28% copper
and 0.27 g/t gold (0.45% Cu Eq(i)), including 160.9m of 0.41% copper and 0.28
g/t gold (0.58% Cu Eq(i)). With NR13-009 failing to achieve planned depth, the
mineralized zone remains open to the southeast of this important intersection.
The Company has now completed first-pass drilling on 500 metres of the 1,200
metre long magnetic high trend, giving the technical team a good understanding
of this significant mineralized system, which continues to remain open along
strike in both directions, and at depth.
Adam Travis, President and CEO of Colorado Resources commented, "In a mere 4
months since our initial discovery hole was announced, we have completed nearly
6,000m of drilling, enlarged the North ROK porphyry body to over 500m in strike
length, maintained average grades of over 0.50% copper equivalent(i) ("Cu Eq")
(0.30% copper and 0.37 g/t gold) in a total of over 1,800m of mineralized
intersections, and returned significant porphyry mineralization from 10 of 12
holes. I am particularly encouraged by hole NR13-013 - our farthest mineralized
intersection from the discovery hole - which had to be terminated at the drill's
maximum capacity (565m depth), but was still returning mineralized material
grading 0.24% copper and 0.11 g/t gold (0.31% Cu Eq(i)) from the bottom of the
hole."
Results of these new drill holes are summarized in Table 1 below, and all
results from North ROK to date are reported in Table 2 below. A map of all
drilling completed to date on North ROK, as well as selected proposed drill
holes, is also attached and will be provided on the Company's website
www.coloradoresources.com.

calculations herein use metal prices of: US$3.00/lb of copper and US$1,300

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: the lengths quoted represent core lengths and do not necessarily represent
the true thickness of mineralized intervals. The samples were analyzed by Acme
Analytical Laboratories of Vancouver, British Columbia. Copper values were first
determined using the 1DX ICP-MS method which reports values as parts per million
(ppm - 10,000 ppm = 1 %). Any samples containing greater than 2000 ppm copper
were assayed by the 7AR method, which reports values as percent copper. The gold
results were determined using the G601 Fire Assay method which reports gold
results in ppm and are equivalent to grams per tonne (g/t). The analytical
results were verified with the application of industry standard Quality Control
and Quality Assurance (QA-QC) procedures.
EXPLORATION DRILLING OF EDON TARGET
Drill hole NR13-010 was collared to test the Edon target 1,600m southeast of the
North ROK discovery, was abandoned for technical reasons, and is currently being
followed up with subsequent drilling.
FUTURE DRILLING
The Company anticipates completing the currently budgeted drill program within
the next few weeks. Given the significance of these results, the recent approval
from MEMNG to drill an additional 40 holes on the property, and strong cash
reserves, the Company expects drilling to continue for the foreseeable future.
