CuOro Resources Corp. Completes LiDAR Surveys on Both the Santa Elena Project and Barranco de Loba Project

VANCOUVER, 02/14/12 - CuOro Resources Corporation (TSX VENTURE: CUA)(FRANKFURT: 6BC) ('CuOro' or the 'Company') announces that it has completed comprehensive digital topographic surveys over the Company's 100% owned Santa Elena Project and the Barranco de Loba Project.

Due to steep ravines and extensive vegetation at both projects the best technology for these projects was airborne LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) to measure the terrain of the project area and provide topographical data to within 10-15 cm accuracy.

Both surveys were flown with a helicopter in order to acquire high density data and produce detailed digital one meter contour mapping of the entire surface area of each project. The survey covered the entire 1287.5 hectares of the Santa Elena Project, as well as the entire 3976.6 hectares of the Barranco de Loba Project.

The data will provide valuable information for engineering, exploration, and future planning.

The above information has been prepared under the supervision of Michel Rowland, P.Geo., who is designated as a 'Qualified Person', has reviewed the information and has verified the authenticity and validity of the data.

On Behalf of the Board of Directors of CuOro,

Robert Sedgemore
President & CEO



Forward Looking Statement

Statements contained in this news release that are not historical facts constitute 'forward-looking statements' or 'forward-looking information' within the meaning of applicable securities laws and are based on expectations, estimates and projections as of the date of this release. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, possible events, statements with respect to possible events, the future price of gold and silver, the realization of mineral resource estimates and success of exploration activities. The words 'is expected' or 'estimates' or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results 'may' or 'could' occur and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Company as of the date of such statements, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. The estimates and assumptions of the Company contained in this release which may prove to be incorrect, include, but are not limited to, (1) the discovery and expansion of mineral resources on the Company's Property being consistent with the Company's current expectations; (2) the implementation of Colombia's mining law and related regulations and policies being consistent with the Company's current expectations; (3) certain price assumptions for gold and silver. Known and unknown factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.

Such factors include, but are not limited to: fluctuations in the spot and forward price of gold or certain other commodities; changes in national and local government legislation, taxation, controls, regulations and political or economic developments in Canada, Colombia or other countries in which the Company does business or may carry on business in the future; business opportunities that may be presented to, or pursued by, the Company; operating or technical difficulties in connection with mining activities; the speculative nature of gold exploration and development, including the risks of obtaining necessary licenses and permits; diminishing quantities or grades of reserves; and contests over title to properties, particularly title to undeveloped properties. In addition, there are risks and hazards associated with the business of gold exploration, development and mining, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected formations, pressures, cave-ins, flooding and gold bullion losses (and the risk of inadequate insurance, or the inability to obtain insurance, to cover these risks). Many of these uncertainties and contingencies can affect the Company's actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Forward-looking statements are provided for the purpose of providing information about management's expectations and plans relating to the future. All of the forward-looking statements made in this release are qualified by these cautionary statements and those made in our other filings with the securities regulators in Canada. These factors are not intended to represent a complete list of the factors that could affect the Company. Although the Company believes that the expectations in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results may vary, and future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements cannot be guaranteed.

Neither the Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
