Crazy Horse Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: CZH)(OTCQX: CRZHF) (the
"Company") a Philippines based mineral exploration company,
announces assays from the 29th to the 44th drill holes of the
feasibility drilling program on its Taysan copper-gold porphyry
project.
Robert Pease, Chairman of Crazy Horse states, "The on-going
positive results further substantiate the Taysan deposit as a
reliable, predictable and growing deposit. A very low waste to ore
ratio and proximity both to port and to end-users, gives this
low-grade deposit a significant competitive advantage for low cost
copper production".
Highlights of Drill Results
On section 19160N, drill hole CZT042 (intersecting 541.4m of
0.24% Cu, 0.08 g/t Au and 0.78 g/t Ag from 36m to 577.4m, including
164m of 0.36% Cu, 0.09 g/t Au, 1.14 g/t Ag from 286 to 450m)
confirms the deeper continuation (from 252m - 398m) of the "Taysan
Breccia", a magmatic hydrothermal breccia unit occurring at the top
of mineralised diorite porphyry intrusives. Taysan Breccia usually
occurs in close proximity to quartz magnetite veining and the two
styles probably form a continuum of potassic alteration.
On section 19200N, drill hole CZT029 (intersecting 324.5m of
0.27% Cu, 0.04 g/t Au and 0.94 g/t Ag from 23.5m to 348m) is a deep
drill hole to the base of the 24 year pit design. CZT029 confirms
the existence of copper mineralization from the base of tuff (20m
thick) to 612m which corresponds with the known extent of copper
mineralization below the 24 year pit design.
On section 19520N, drill hole CZT037 (144m of 0.34% Cu, 0.10 g/t
Au and 1.44 g/t Ag from 142m to 286m) intersected Taysan Breccia
and the associated quartz magnetite and sulphide veins containing
higher grade copper and gold mineralization. This drill hole is
mineralised to the end of hole where 21m of 0.28% Cu, 0.11 g/t Au,
0.73 g/t Ag and 29ppm Mo was encountered from 376 to 397m, which
corresponds well with assays from drill hole CZT001.
A summary of the results from holes CZT029 to CZT044 is as
follows:

Summary of Drilling Results
On section 19760N drill hole CZT040 confirms the copper
mineralization reported in the nearby Benguet and Freeport drill
holes.
On section 18800N drill holes CZT031 extends the known copper
mineralization up to the base of the tuff (43m thick) and CZT035
shows a zone of waste in the south east corner of the proposed open
pit.
On section 18860N drill holes CZT034 and CZT036 continue to
confirm the existence of flat lying layered copper mineralization
and waste zones and help with their definition. CZT034 bottomed in
copper mineralization beneath the 10 year pit boundary confirming
previously reported grades in nearby BT054.
On section 18920N drill holes CZT033 and CZT043 confirm
continuous copper mineralization from the base of the tuff (45m
thick) to the end of the hole below the 10 year pit boundary.
On section 18980N drill hole CZT044 confirms continuous copper
mineralization from the base of the tuff (40m thick) to the end of
the hole, below the 10 year pit boundary. CZT030 also shows strong
intersections of copper mineralization from the base of the tuff
and helps define the contact of the intrusive with volcanogenic
sediments, or country rock, where copper grades are generally below
ore grade.
On section 19040N drill hole CZT039 confirms continuous copper
mineralization from the base of the tuff (40m thick) to the end of
the hole, below the 10 year pit boundary. CZT039 was a twin of
CZT024 which encountered a large faulted zone at the margin of the
intrusive and failed to get acceptable core recovery. CZT039
achieved acceptable core recovery.
On section 19100N drill hole CZT032 confirms near surface copper
mineralization, and the existence of an internal waste zone known
from other sections. It also intersected a deeper copper
mineralized zone from 172m - 310m, which was also noted in drill
holes CZT022 and CZT027, also on that section. Drill hole CZT032
also confirms the contact between intrusive rock and the
volcanogenic sediments, occurring at a depth of 372m.
Sampling Protocols
Drilling is carried out by Quest Exploration Drilling
(Philippines) Inc. using Edson 3000 and LF70 drill rigs and a
triple tube diamond core drilling system. All holes are started in
PQ (150-200m) then continued in HQ. All core is split using a
diamond-bladed drill-core saw and always sampled from the (true)
left side of the core. The remaining half of the core is sealed in
plastic bags in a nitrogen atmosphere and stored in a covered,
guarded core shed. Core samples are bagged in new polyethylene, UV
stable plastic bags, sealed with a plastic tie, numbered outside
and have a tag placed inside the bag. All samples are accompanied
by Asian Arc personnel from site to the McPhar Laboratory under
secure "Chain of Custody" procedures. Samples are crushed to 85%
less than 2mm then 1kg is split out and pulverised in an LM2 Puck
and Bowl Pulveriser to 90% less than 75 micrometers. Gold is
assayed by Fire Assay (50g charge) with AAS finish (PM6). Cu, As,
Mo, Feand S are assayed by ore grade analysis, 3 Acid (HCl / HNO3 /
HClO4) Digest with ICP-AES finish (ICP-2). Ag is analysed by ore
grade analysis (HNO3 / HClO4) digest with AAS finish (2A1/AAS).
Sample rejects are returned from the McPhar Laboratory under secure
"Chain of Custody" procedures by Asian Arc staff and also stored in
the core shed in heat sealed plastic bags in a nitrogen atmosphere.
McPhar Geoservices (Phil), Inc. is ISO 17025:2005 accredited and is
a member of the International Intertek Laboratory Group.
Taysan Project
A National Instrument 43-101 compliant technical report by
Mining Associates dated effective March 11, 2011 and entitled
"Mineral Resource Estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment
Taysan Project" can be viewed under the Company's profile on SEDAR
(www.sedar.com).
The Taysan Project contains acopper-gold porphyry deposit with
an inferred resource, and is comprised of two mining exploration
permits and three mining exploration permit applications (permits:
EP-IVA-005 and EP-IVA-016, and permit applications: EPA-IVI-108,
EPA-IVI-111 and EPA-IVA-081) over five contiguous claim blocks
covering a combined total area of 11,254 hectares. The Taysan
Project hosts a large and only partly explored copper-gold porphyry
deposit similar to other copper-gold porphyry deposits previously
mined in the Philippines. The Taysan Project is located in southern
Luzon, Philippines in a well-developed mining province and readily
accessible by road located 20km east of the provincial capital and
deep water commercial port of Batangas City. The Company is
currently conducting a Feasibility study under the management of
AMEC Minproc Limited, which remains on track and on schedule.
Brian Lueck, Director and V.P. Exploration of the Company, is
the qualified person who has reviewed the geological data
summarized in this news release on behalf of the Company.
