TORONTO, April 23, 2013 /CNW/ - Asher Resources Corporation, ACN (TSX-V) (the "Company" or "Asher") is pleased to announce that Mr. John M. Arnold, CA has been appointed as a director and as Chairman of the Company. Most recently, Mr. Arnold was a director of Queenston Mining Inc. which was purchased in late 2012 by Osisko Mining Corporation for approximately $550M. Mr. Arnold is a natural resource executive with over 35 years of experience in lumber, oil and gas and also mineral exploration with over 20 years experience in Nevada with X-Cal Resources Ltd.'s Sleeper project (now Paramount Gold & Silver Inc.) as well as extensive exploration and development experience in British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec, Nunavut and Newfoundland/Labrador.

"We are delighted to have John join Asher as a director and as our new Chairman during our early growth stage" commented Richard Buzbuzian, President and CEO. "John brings over 35 years of high level mining experience. This firstly begins with his Nevada expertise regarding the Sleeper project near Winnemocka that was sold to Paramount Gold and Silver Corp. This is in addition to the $550M Queenston Mining Inc. sale to Osisko Mining Corporation. John, with his international mining network will be a great asset to Asher as we pursue our own business strategy of developing a North American precious metals resource that would also be an attractive acquisition for a producer."
