Tsodilo Resources Ltd. Exploration Program Update

Toronto, Ontario CANADA, April 22, 2014 /FSC/ - Tsodilo Resources Ltd. (TSD - TSX Venture), ("Tsodilo" or the "Company") is pleased to provide a summary update of its Botswana Iron Ore exploration (evaluation) activities, as well as its general Botswana exploration programs November 2013 through March 2014 (the "period").  The complete report covering the period with explanatory diagrams, photo images and tables is posted on the Company's website at:  
http://www.TsodiloResources.com/i/pdf/SummaryUpdate-Apr2014.pdf


Summary

* Twenty six (26) Iron Ore exploration (resource definition) holes were drilled during the period totaling 4,593.66 meters. Twenty (20) of these holes intersected 1,641.75 meters of Xaudum Iron Formation (XIF) mineralization.

* 3,466 XRF assay analysis were received for 61 holes in the period. From these received results there was 3,299.88 meters of XIF mineralization. Where 2,209.27 meters was Magnetite Schist (DIM and DMW*), and 968.61 meters was Magnetite BIF (MBA and MBW*). The remaining 122 meters was a new Magnetite Garnet Schist (MGS*) material.

* The global average grade for Magnetite BIF (MBA and MBW*) is 36.98% Fe; for Magnetite Schist (DIM and DMW*) is 18.51% Fe; Magnetite Garnet Schist (MGS*) is 23.38% Fe. All mineralized units within   the Xaudum Iron Project are capable of producing a premium grade magnetite product of >68% Fe as discussed in the Company's Press Release of December 17, 2013 and available on the Company's website at www.TsodiloResources.com. Magnetite Garnet Schist however being a new material is being evaluated currently by Davis Tube Recovery (DTR) test work.

* There were 1,606 density measurements taken during the period, giving a global average bulk in situ density for all mineralization of 3.3 g/cm3.

* Cross sectional interpretation and geological modelling is ongoing (see Figure 4) for a NI 431-101 compliant mineral resource estimate scheduled for end Q2 2014. Holes to be included in the model are in an area called Block 1 are shown in Figure 1.    Since the end of the period 13 holes remain to be drilled for inclusion in the resource estimate.

* It is an important note that the holes drilled in the Block 1 area to date (see Figure 1 and 3) only encompasses a fraction of the total potential XIF mineralization, which is believed to be in the order of 5 to 7 billion tonnes, see the press release of January 22, 2014 available on the Company's website at www.TsodiloResources.com.

* First Quantum Minerals Copper (Cu) exploration drilling continued with completion of a stratigraphic Diamond Drill (DD) line, plus continuation of the Kalahari cover sediment sampling drilling program (DD). An Airborne EM survey was also flown and completed over all of Tsodilo's metal licenses in the 4th Q of 2013, covering 16,933.6 line kilometers. The data has now been processed and has significantly enhanced geological modelling and helping in providing exploration targets.

* The high resolution ground magnetic survey over XIF continued during the period, covering 865 line kilometers (over 38 km2) and a detailed ground magnetic survey carried out over a kimberlite target in PL195/2012, covering 158 line kilometers over 4.3 km2.

*Three letter codes represent Geodomain codes, and are explained further in the complete report.
