Retransmission: Salazar Intersects 15.95m Averaging 11.32 g/t Gold, 195.31 g/t Silver, 3.75% Copper, 0.93% Lead and 8.19% Zinc
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/18/10 -- Salazar Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: SRL)(FRANKFURT: CCG) - Mr. Fredy Salazar, President and CEO, is pleased to announce drill results from the El Domo anomaly, Las Naves Central area, at the Curipamba Project, Ecuador. All three holes are step outs from previous drilling at the El Domo Deposit, thus adding significantly to the known extent of mineralization.
DDH Curi-56 encountered the highest grades received to date within El Domo and was intersected at 55m below surface. This drill hole is located 50 meters East from hole 48 (DDH-48 reported 18.95 meters @ 3.41 g/t Au, 61 g/t Ag, 2.83% Cu, 0.44% Pb and 3.18% Zn) and 120 Northwest from DDH Curi-46 (See Figure 1, click on following link: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/18SRLfig1.jpg).

Mr. Fredy Salazar states, 'These recent drill holes confirm our belief that the El Domo Deposit extends significantly to the south and east. We are very pleased with the drilling to date as all step-out drill holes have intersected mineralization. These additional intersections confirm the continuity of mineralization to the south and that the core of the El Domo body has significant high grade sections.'

John Buckle, P.Geo., P.Geoph., the qualified person for the company, has reviewed this news release for its accuracy.
A QC program was used whereby 5% of all samples sent to the laboratory were standard samples with known silver and gold values. Sample preparation was performed by BSI Inspectorate Quito, Ecuador, using standard industry practices (sample prep minus 32). Analytical work was carried out at the BSI Inspectorate Laboratory in Lima, Peru, using fire assay methods for gold (Au-25 procedure). Standard samples, blanks and duplicate check samples were randomly inserted to the sample batch to ensure quality control.
