Gold Reach Continues to Intersect High Grade at Ox with 103.3 Metres of 0.66% Copper Equivalent Including 40.6 Metres of 0.79% Copper Equivalent

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Sep 23, 2013) - Gold Reach Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:GRV) (Gold Reach and/or the Company) is pleased to announce that assay results for holes Ox13-106 to 110 from the Ox deposit have been received. The Ox deposit is located 4 kilometres north-northeast of the Company's West Seel discovery, and both deposits occur on the Company's 100% owned Ootsa Property located adjacent to the producing Huckleberry Mine south of Smithers, British Columbia.

HIGHLIGHTS

• More High Grade Material Encountered
  • Hole Ox13-107 intersected 64m of 0.65% copper equivalent including 24 metres of 0.72% copper equivalent.
  • Hole Ox13-108 intersected 109.5m of 0.54% copper equivalent including 36 metres of 0.61% copper equivalent.
  • Hole Ox13-110 intersected 103.3m of 0.66% copper equivalent including 40.6 metres of 0.79% copper equivalent.
• Mineralization Starts Near Surface
  • Mineralization in holes Ox13-106, 107, and 110 starts 4 metres vertically below surface.
  • Mineralization in holes Ox13-108 and 109 starts 9 metres vertically below surface with the highest grades occurring closest to surface.

The 2013 drilling at the Ox deposit has focused on infilling and expanding near surface mineralization along a higher grade core that runs the length of the system, and is looking to increase resource categories, tonnage, and grade of the deposit. The drilling program is now focusing on infilling and expanding the large resource base at the Seel deposit.

Ox Drill Results

An updated drill hole location map for Ox is available here http://www.goldreachresources.com/_resources/maps/20130918_Ox_2013_drill_hole_location_map.png and cross sections C.5-C.5', and C-C' showing holes Ox13-106 to 110 are available here http://www.goldreachresources.com/_resources/maps/20130918_Ox_Sec_C-5_2013.png http://www.goldreachresources.com/_resources/maps/20130918_Ox_Sec_C-C_2013.png.

Holes Ox13-106, 107, and 110 were infill holes drilled within a gap between sections C-C' and D-D' and are shown on section C.5-C.5'. Holes Ox13-106 and 107 were short holes testing the western edge of mineralization. Hole Ox13-106 returned 30.6 metres grading 0.36% copper and 0.037% molybdenum (0.57% copper equivalent) from 6.5 to 37.1 metres depth, including 13.5 metres grading 0.46% copper and 0.034% molybdenum (0.67% copper equivalent) from 6.5 to 20 metres depth. Hole Ox13-107 returned 64 metres grading 0.37% copper and 0.052% molybdenum (0.65% copper equivalent) from 4 to 68 metres depth, including 24 metres grading 0.43% copper and 0.052% molybdenum (0.72% copper equivalent) from 42 to 66 metres depth. Hole Ox13-110 was drilled toward the southwest along the mineralized contact and intersected 103.3 metres grading 0.44% copper and 0.040% molybdenum (0.66% copper equivalent) from 5.4 to 108.7 metres depth, including 40.6 metres grading 0.57% copper and 0.034% molybdenum (0.79% copper equivalent) from 5.4 to 46 metres depth.

Holes Ox13-108 and 109 are shown on section C-C' and were drilled toward the southwest to better define the southwest edge of mineralization on the section. Hole Ox13-108 returned 109.5 metres grading 0.33% copper and 0.038% molybdenum (0.54% copper equivalent) from 10.5 to 120 metres depth, including 36 metres grading 0.46% copper and 0.022% molybdenum (0.61% copper equivalent) from 42 to 78 metres depth. Hole Ox13-109 returned 69.8 metres grading 0.30% copper and 0.020% molybdenum (0.42% copper equivalent) from 11.7 to 81.5 metres depth, including 10.3 metres grading 0.50% copper and 0.024% molybdenum (0.66% copper equivalent) from 11.7 to 22 metres depth.

Summary of select drill intercepts - Holes Ox13-106 to 110

*Width refers to drill hole intercepts, true widths have not been determined.
**Cu Eq. (copper equivalent) has been used to express the combined value of copper, molybdenum, gold and silver as a percentage of copper, and is provided for illustrative purposes only. No allowances have been made for recovery losses that may occur should mining eventually result. Calculations use metal prices of US $2.50/lb copper, $1200/oz gold, $15 silver, and $10/lb molybdenum using the formula Cu Eq.% = Cu% + (Au g/t x 0.701) + (Ag g/t x 0.0087) + (Mo% x 4.01).

Dr. Shane Ebert, president of Gold Reach, commented: "Infill and step out drilling at Ox continues to intersect strong grades within a continuous near surface zone of mineralization. The Company is extremely pleased with the advances made at the Ox deposit this year and we look forward to further advancing the deposit through metallurgical test work and a pit constrained resource update expected later in the year."

Drilling Update

Assay results for the first 66 holes drilled at Ox during the 2013 program have been received (holes Ox13-45 to Ox13-110). An additional 23 holes have been completed at Ox (Ox13-111 to 134) and are in the lab getting assayed. Five holes have been completed at East Seel (S13-147, 148, 149, 151, 152) and one hole has been completed at West Seel (S13-150). One drill is currently working on hole S13-154 at East Seel and the second drill is working on hole S13-153 at West Seel.

The current round of drilling is focusing on infilling and expanding three areas of higher grade near-surface mineralization with open pit potential at Ox, East Seel, and West Seel. Previous drilling in all three zones has intersected significant grades at shallow depths including hole S11-90 at East Seel which returned 194 metres grading 0.37% copper and 0.42 g/t gold (0.66% copper equivalent) starting at 22 metres depth (previously released), hole S06-42 just north of East Seel which returned 138 metres grading 0.85% Cu and 23 g/t Ag (1% copper equivalent) starting at 22 metres depth (previously released), and hole S12-108 at West Seel which intersected 316 metres grading 0.56% copper equivalent starting at 24 metres down hole, including 30 metres grading 1% copper equivalent starting at 74 metres down hole.

The Company has recently added the discovery of the West Seel Porphyry where drill hole S12-118 encountered 128 metres grading 1.01% Cu Eq. consisting of 0.43% Cu, 0.33 g/t Au, 0.076% Mo and 4.76 g/t Ag within a much larger interval of 537 metres grading 0.65% Cu Eq. consisting of 0.27% Cu, 0.19 g/t Au, 0.055% Mo, and 2.69 g/t Ag. The Seel deposit contains 67.8 million tonnes of indicated resources and 410.9 million tonnes of inferred resources at a 0.2% copper equivalent cut off. The Ox deposit contains 52.65 million tonnes of inferred resources at a 0.2% copper equivalent cut off.

Quality Control

All drill core is logged, photographed, and cut in half with a diamond saw. Half of the core is bagged and sent to AGAT Laboratories for analysis (which is an ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 17025 certified lab), while the other half is archived and stored on site for verification and reference purposes. Gold is assayed by standard fire assay methods with 45 additional elements analyzed by Induced Coupled Plasma (ICP) utilizing a 4-acid digestion. Duplicate samples, blanks, and certified standards are included with every sample batch and then checked to ensure proper quality assurance and quality control.

Dr. Shane Ebert, P.Geo., President of the Company, is the Qualified Person for the Ootsa project as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and has approved the technical disclosure contained in this news release.
