Colorado Drills 177M of 0.55% Cu Eq at North Rok Property, BC

WEST KELOWNA, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Oct 1, 2013) - Colorado Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CXO) ("Colorado" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of a further five diamond drill holes completed at North ROK, including hole NR13-17 with 177m of 0.55% Cu Eq that included 68m of 0.79% Cu Eq. Of the five holes two were completed on the Mabon Zone and three on the Edon Zone.

MABON ZONE

Drill hole NR13-016, which was drilled between NR13-005 and NR13-008 (see News Release August 28, 2013), confirmed the continuation of mineralization between these holes. Drill hole NR13-017, which was drilled vertically 170m beneath and on the same sectional plane as drill hole NR13-011, demonstrated the mineralized zone as cored in drill hole NR 13-17 has significantly increased in grade and width relative to the shallower drill hole NR 13-11. Drill hole NR13-017 also demonstrated the mineralized system remains open to the northwest.

Drill testing of the on-strike continuation of the mineralized zone to the northwest of drill hole NR13-017 and to the southeast of drill hole NR13-013 is in progress with 2 diamond drill rigs currently on the property.

Note: the lengths quoted represent core lengths and do not necessarily represent the true thickness of mineralized intervals. The samples were analyzed by Acme Analytical Laboratories of Vancouver, British Columbia. Copper values were first determined using the 1DX ICP-MS method which reports values as parts per million (ppm - 10,000 ppm = 1 %). Any samples containing greater than 2000 ppm copper were assayed by the 7AR method, which reports values as percent copper. The gold results were determined using the G601 Fire Assay method which reports gold results in ppm and are equivalent to grams per tonne (g/t). The analytical results were verified with the application of industry standard Quality Control and Quality Assurance (QA-QC) procedures.

EDON ZONE

Three reconnaissance drill holes in the Edon Zone, located approximately 1.5 kilometres SE of the Mabon Zone near the property's southeast boundary, were completed near the end of Phase II drilling. The purpose of these holes was to test areas of anomalous copper and gold in soils located within a large area of strong alteration on the periphery of the main Mabon 1 km x 2 km sulphide system.

Reconnaissance holes NR13-014, 015 and 018 did not intercept significant copper or gold mineralization, but did encounter sizeable intercepts of the favourable monzodiorite host displaying alteration patterns commonly associated with the margins of copper-gold porphyry systems. The results of these holes demonstrate that the Mabon discovery occurs within a very large hydrothermal system. The results further demonstrate that the main potential of the North Rok property is at lower elevations within the chargeability anomaly that extends an overall distance of 2 km from the Edon Zone to 500m northwest of the Mabon Zone.

AIRBORNE SURVEY

Precision GeoSurveys of Vancouver, B.C. recently completed a high resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over the North Rock property. The results of this survey will assist the Company in mapping the geology and magnetite associated mineralization beneath glacial cover on the northern and western extents of the property.

Adam Travis, President and CEO of Colorado Resources, commented: "We continue to drill at both ends of this robust mineralized system with two drill rigs now more than 1300m apart. Drill hole NR13-17, drilled 170m below hole NR13-011, highlights the fact that the system is very much open and on this section higher grade at depth".
