Toronto (Canada), December 17, 2013: Jourdan Resources Inc. (TSX-V: JOR) ("JOURDAN" or the "Company") (www.jourdan.ca)is pleased to announce the completion of a regional prospecting program on the company's flagship Dissimieux Lake Phosphate claims.
Previous exploration at Dissimieux Lake by Jourdan has focussed on drilling the Main Phosphate Zone. This zone has been traced with 400 metre centred drilling over a distance of approximately 2,400 metres.
The prospecting program was designed to study prospective targets outside the Main Dissimieux Lake Phosphate Zone. In-house compilation leading up to this prospecting program had outlined highly prospective target zones based on historical phosphate and base metal showings along with geophysical mapping. (see Map 1)
A total of 100 sample results have been received from ALS Chemex with the significant results reported below, and an additional 255 selected samples were collected by the prospecting teams and have been submitted to AGAT Laboratories for analysis. Analysis results will provide data for a planned 2014 exploration program which will include both regional drilling and additional drilling on the Main Phosphate Zone.
A table of significant results received is presented below:

Historical results from the Yves claims (a 9 claim, 5 km2 block that is part of the Dissimieux Phosphate Project, located 18 km south of the drilling on the main phosphate zone and 3.5 km south of the rest of the Dissimieux Lake claim block) returned 7.12% P2O5 from sample 2008045736 (reported by Sigeom), as shown in the table below:

The pending assays from AGAT Laboratories are regional in nature, with several samples targeting the areas in proximity of the Fleury showings listed in the table above (see Map 2). The pending assays also target the western claim limb, and the potential southern extension of the Main Phosphate Zone, located 3 km and 8 km south, respectively, of the most southern drilling to date.
"Jourdan has been successful in acquiring claims with historical phosphate showings and, going forward, the company wants to leverage these low cost acquisitions into advanced projects," states Jourdan's President & CEO, Michael Dehn. "Our goal is to become the dominant phosphate miner in North America. In this challenging market environment, prioritization is important, and knowing which projects can add the most value for shareholders is a key success factor."

Quality assurance / Quality Control ("QA/QC")
Surface grab samples averaging 1 kilogram each were taken by qualified personnel from JOURDAN under the supervision of Jean Lafleur, M.Sc., P. Geo. Samples were bagged, sealed and numbered on-site, and delivered to the ALS Laboratory Group facility in Val-d'Or (Quebec) for analysis using the ME-ICP06 Method. At the laboratory facility, samples were inventoried, weighed and dried; crushed 70% to under 2 millimetres; riffled split with a 250 gram sub-sample pulverized 85% to under 75 microns; then followed by analysis.
