VANCOUVER, May 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ - Garibaldi Resources
Corp. (TSX.V: GGI) (the "Company" or "Garibaldi") is pleased to
report that it has intersected exceptionally high silver grades
within 30 meters of surface in first-ever drilling at the Company's
45 sq. km Rodadero North Project in central Sonora State,
Mexico. A second drill hole
has started.

Highlights:
- First hole at Silver Eagle target (SE-14-01) returned 2,010
g/t Ag (65 oz/ton) over 7 meters (23.1
feet) including 3 meters (9.9 feet) grading
4,565 g/t Ag (147 oz/ton);
- A 50-meter step-out hole to the south of SE-14-01 has
commenced;
- Garibaldi's exploration team has identified 7 high-priority
targets in addition to Silver Eagle at Rodadero North - data
compilation and regional work continues.
Steve Regoci,
Garibaldi President and CEO, commented: "We're excited with these
initial drill results at Rodadero where we have made very effective
use of hyperspectral remote sensing technology to outline a broad
area of prospective targets. Given these numbers from Rodadero, and
our recent solid drill results at La Patilla, we are moving at an
accelerated pace in Mexico. In
northwest British Columbia, we are
extremely encouraged by the near-term discovery potential of our
flagship Grizzly Project that covers more than half of the Sheslay
Cu-Au porphyry district mineralized corridor. Garibaldi is uniquely
positioned in two friendly jurisdictions to build shareholder
value."
Silver Eagle Target, Rodadero North
The first hole at Silver Eagle, drilled with
Garibaldi's company-owned rig, was designed to follow up on surface
sampling along a silicified zone. DDH SE-14-01 intersected a
strongly mineralized 7-meter zone.

At the present time, the geometry of the
mineralized system is not known and true width for the drill
intercepts remains to be determined. The widths given are downhole
core lengths. The cut-off for the 7-meter intercept is 20 g/t
Ag. The hole was drilled to a length of 100 meters.
The Silver Eagle target is an apparently flat
lying silicified body that alters the upper parts of a conglomerate
unit that overlies andesitic volcanic rocks. The silicified body is
cut by several silver-bearing fractured zones that may reflect
feeders to the silicified 'cap'.
"We eagerly anticipate results from this next
hole at Silver Eagle," added Regoci. "In Mexico we're also preparing for follow-up
drilling at La Patilla and initial drilling at Iris. We have low
exploration and drilling costs in Mexico, and these are also partly offset by
continued royalty income from our pilot coal program at the Tonichi
Project."
Rodadero North & Rodadero South Target
Areas
The Rodadero region hosts multiple precious
metal occurrences over several tens of kilometers. Garibaldi has
identified seven other targets at Rodadero North - Rambo, La Guata,
Batuc, La Fortuna, La
Colorada, Tarichi and Igualama - through mapping, sampling
and the use of the Company's proprietary hyperspectral database. To
date, two targets have also been outlined at Rodadero South, where
less exploration has been carried out, approximately five
kilometers southeast of Rodadero North. A map showing the two
project areas and targets is attached with this release and will be
posted at www.GaribaldiResources.com in the Mexico "Projects"
section under "Rodadero". Alamos Gold's Mulatos mine and Agnico
Eagle's La India mine are approximately 90 kilometers to the
southeast.

Quality Assurance & Control
Garibaldi maintains strict QA-QC protocols for
all aspects of its exploration programs that include the systematic
insertion of blanks and standards into each sample batch. Acme Labs
(now part of the Bureau Veritis group that includes BSI
Inspectorate) performed assay analyses on core reported in this
release, and ALS Global (formerly ALS Chemex) performed analyses on
rock samples. All samples were assayed using certified and industry
standard assay techniques for gold and multi-element packages and
for over-limits. Au was analyzed by 30 or 50 gram fire assay with
an atomic absorption finish, and other elements were analyzed by
multi-element ICP. Samples in excess of 1,500 g/t Ag were analyzed
by gravimetric methods.
