VMS Vortex Metals Inc

Balmoral Resources Ltd. ("Balmoral" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:BAR)
announced today that drilling has confirmed the discovery of a volcanogenic
massive sulphide ("VMS") system on the Martiniere Property, part of the
Company's Detour Trend Gold Project. Drill holes MDE-11-09, -10, -11 and -16,
collared 43 to 145 metres along strike northeast from previously reported
Martiniere East drill holes MDE-11-04, -05 and -06 (see NR11-12, June 15, 2011)
have intersected a 4.00 to 13.65 metre thick horizon of massive pyrite with
minor associated base metal sulphides. The massive sulphide body overlays an
extensive semi-massive pyrite-rich feeder/stockwork zone which extends for up to
80 metres down-hole below the more massive mineralization.


Initial testing of the Martiniere East Zone encountered an extensive pyrite-rich
feeder/stockwork zone, strong chlorite alteration and post mineral
deformation/alteration associated with broad zones, 29 to 140 metres wide, of
anomalous gold mineralization. Drill holes MDE-11-10 and MDE-11-11 were collared
from the same location approximately 43 metres along projected strike to the
northeast from the section containing holes MDE-11-04 to -06. Holes MDE-11-09
and MDE-11-16 were collared an additional 52 and 102 metres further to the
northeast. Assays results from the recently completed series of holes remain
pending. The sulphide system remains open in all directions and appears to
correlate well with an I.P. anomaly which can be traced for several hundred
metres. Photos from the massive sulphide and feeder/stockwork zones are
available on the Company's website at
www.balmoralresources.com/s/Martiniere.asp.


"The discovery of a previously undetected volcanogenic massive sulphide body in
a region that hosts the large Selbaie deposit (53 million tonnes at 1.0% Cu,
1.9% Zn, 41 g/t Ag, and 0.6 g/t Au) and the prolific Mattagami base metal camp
adds an exciting new element to our Detour Gold Project," said Darin Wagner,
President and CEO of Balmoral Resources. "The Company interprets the massive
sulphide mineralization to represent the distal facies of a typical VMS system.
While we do not anticipate any significant base metal assays from the
mineralization intersected to date, the new discovery is open in all directions
and drilling will continue following completion of a high resolution airborne
geophysical survey and receipt of initial geochemical results."


MARTINIERE WEST DRILLING UPDATE

The Company also reported that it has now completed an additional 16 holes
testing extensions of the Martiniere West Gold Zone. Visible gold mineralization
has been reported from approximately 40% of the holes completed to date. Assay
results remain pending and will be released as they are received by the Company.
Drilling continues at Martiniere West with 6 to 8 additional holes planned
before the drill is shifted to the Detour East Property.


VTEM PLUS SURVEY UNDERWAY

The Company also announced that an extensive high-resolution airborne
electromagnetic and magnetic survey of its Martiniere, N2, Grasset, Harri and
East Doight Properties has commenced. Balmoral has contracted Geotech Ltd. of
Aurora, Ontario to conduct a low-level helicopter supported VTEM Plus and
magnetic gradiometer survey covering the Company's properties. Results from the
VTEM survey, which will be completed over the next 4-6 weeks, will be used by
the Company to assist in additional target identification, resolution and
discrimination.


Balmoral's Detour Gold Trend Project, which extends for 82 kilometres along the
Detour-Sunday Lake Deformation Zone in Central Quebec, includes the Martiniere
Property, the near-surface Lynx and Rambo Gold Zones on the Detour East
Property, the high-grade Fenelon Gold Zone and the recent Grasset Gold
Discovery. Drilling is currently on-going on the Martiniere and Grasset
Properties.


Quality Control

Mr. Darin Wagner (P.Geo.), President and CEO of the Company, is the
non-independent qualified person for the technical disclosure contained in this
news release. Mr. Wagner has supervised the work programs on the properties,
visited the properties on multiple occasions, examined the drill core from the
holes summarized in this release and reviewed the analytical and quality control
results.
