Xplore Resources Corp. Announces Letter of Intent to Earn a 100% Interest in the Upper Red Lake Gold Project

Summary of the terms of the proposed transaction:

Under the terms of the LOI and subject to the completion of satisfactory mutual due diligence by Xplore and Abitibi within 30 days of signing of the LOI, and subject to certain conditions, including the subsequent entry into a formal option agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement"), Xplore will acquire a 100% ownership in the Upper Red Lake by completing the following:

• The Company obtaining all necessary approvals from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX.V"); and,

• On execution of the LOI, Xplore shall issue to Abitibi CDN$62,500 in common shares of Xplore based on the daily volume weight averaged (the "VWAP") price of Xplore's shares as reported by the TSX.V, for the 14 day period preceding execution of the LOI; and,

• On or before the first anniversary date of signing the Acquisition Agreement, Xplore shall issue to Abitibi CDN$125,000 in common shares of Xplore based on the VWAP price of XPLR's shares as reported by the TSX.V, for the 14 day period preceding execution of the anniversary date; and,

• On or before the second anniversary of signing the Acquisition Agreement, Xplore shall issue to Abitibi CDN$150,000 in common shares of Xplore based on the VWAP price of Xplore's shares as reported by the TSX.V, for the 14 day period preceding execution of the anniversary date; and,

• Xplore agrees to complete sufficient exploration work on the property to maintain the claims in good standing; and,

• On completing the share issuance obligations, Xplore shall have earned a 100% interest in the Upper Red Lake minus a 1.5% net smelter return ("NSR") on any future metal production from the Upper Red Lake.

Wes Hanson, President and CEO of Xplore, stated, "We are excited to have an opportunity to acquire a property in one of Canada's most recognized gold districts. We believe that the prospective trends identified to the east may extend onto the Upper Red Lake claims. Prosper Gold Corp.'s Golden Sidewalk gold in till anomaly extends for over 3.0 kms and may be spatially related to a regional scale, sinuous unconformity that appears to trend onto the Upper Red Lake claim block. Historical gold in till sampling along the southern portion of the Upper Red Lake claims suggest similar gold in till results to those reported by Prosper. Exploration in this area is seeing increased interest due to recent, new discoveries and the Birch-Uchi greenstone belt offer highly favourable geology. Recent road construction reduces exploration costs and allows for year round exploration activity. We look forward to completing our due diligence and finalizing our agreement with Abitibi within the next thirty days. We plan to initiate exploration of the property as soon as possible once field work can resume in the spring."
