NDR New Dimension Resources Ltd

New Dimension Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:NDR) (the "Company" or "New
Dimension") is pleased to report that it has executed a binding option agreement
(the "Agreement") with Strategic Metals Ltd. ("Strategic Metals") to earn up to
a 100% interest in Strategic Metals' Mars copper-gold property ("the Property")
located in south central Yukon.


A diamond drill has been mobilized to the site and an approximate 1,000 metre
drill program is underway.


"The Mars Project is a drill ready, classic gold rich alkalic porphyry copper
target," said Fred Hewett, President & CEO of New Dimension. "New Dimension is
very pleased to have the opportunity to test such a prospective porphyry target
strategically located in Yukon. We look forward to conducting the first
significant drill program on the Property."

The Property:

The 19.4 square kilometre Mars Property is located approximately 65 kilometres
northeast of Whitehorse in south central Yukon. The Property features a
gold-copper porphyry target defined by a 1 x 3 kilometre northwest oriented zone
of potassic alteration with associated chalcopyrite and magnetite bearing veins
and stockworks. This large target is also defined by an airborne magnetic
anomaly and copper, gold, and molybdenum soil anomalies.


Mineralization on the Property is believed to be related to a silica-saturated
alkalic intrusion similar to the Mount Milligan, Mount Polly and Copper Mountain
deposits in British Columbia. These deposits typically have elevated gold and
silver values and decreased molybdenum when compared to more classic porphyry
copper deposits.


Exploration has been carried out intermittently in this area since copper
mineralization was first discovered in 1971. Work to date has been restricted by
thick overburden coverage and has included geological mapping, hand trenching,
soil geochemical surveys, ground and airborne geophysics, and seven (7) short
diamond drill holes.


The geochemical soil surveys reveal a significant northwest trend with the
majority of the samples containing greater than 100 ppm copper, to a maximum of
2594 ppm copper. Gold values show a high of 485 ppb and locally overlap the
areas of anomalous copper values. The drill holes tested only a small portion of
the property with the main geophysical and geochemical anomalies still untested
by drilling. Although the previous diamond drilling was outside the main area of
interest, one hole did identify a significant gold interval (4.37 metres of 6.43
g/t) that coincides with a moderately high magnetic anomaly.


In 2008, Strategic Metals consolidated the property ownership and in 2010
conducted a helicopter-borne VTEM/magnetic geophysical survey. This survey
identified a number of magnetic highs that are coincident with anomalous soil
geochemical values. These strong magnetic responses overlay areas of high
resistivity that may coincide with potassic alteration. This geophysically
attractive target continues into areas of high gold-in-soil values that have not
been drilled. The Company will be testing these features with its initial drill
holes.


The Agreement:

New Dimension can earn an initial 50% property interest by spending $3.5 million
in exploration expenditures and making payments totaling $600,000 to Strategic
Metals over a four year period. Of the $600,000, up to $250,000 in value can be
issued in the Company's stock at the election of the Company.


The Company can also elect to earn an additional 15% (aggregate 65% property
interest), by spending $15 million (total exploration to date), by issuing to
Strategic Metals 19.9% of the outstanding shares of NDR, and by completing a
pre-feasibility study. The Company can then elect to earn a further 35%
(aggregate 100% interest) by making a decision to commence the construction of a
mine within 12 years from the signing of the agreement and by maintaining
Strategic Metals' equity interest in the Company. Upon NDR earning 100%,
Strategic Metals and the original vendors would retain a 2.5% net smelter return
(NSR) production royalty.


In a related matter, the Company and Strategic Metals have mutually agreed that
no further exploration will be carried out on the Gild property, and all Company
expenditures on the Gild property to date will be attributed to the Mars
property.


About New Dimension Resources Ltd.:

New Dimension has an option to earn up to a 100% interest in 13 properties
located in the Yukon from Strategic Metals. The Properties were originally
staked by Strategic Metals following an extensive review of a geological data
base complied by Archer, Cathro & Associates, an independent group of consulting
geological engineers and geoscientists with extensive exploration experience in
the Yukon. New Dimension also holds several other attractive exploration
properties in Canada and Peru.


In northern Peru, the Company's Cenepa gold project covers one of the most
attractive geological terrains within the highly prospective Cordillera del
Condor mineral belt; adjacent to Kinross Gold Corp.'s Condor Project and Fruta
Del Norte gold deposit in Ecuador.
