Citation Announces Preliminary Results of VTEM Survey and Advancement Towards Drill Targeting for Biricu Project

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire - Dec. 5, 2012) - Citation Resources Inc. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CTT) is pleased to announce preliminary results of its airborne versatile time-domain electromagnetic ("VTEM") survey completed in October 2012 over a substantial portion of the Biricu Gold Project located within Mexico's Guerrero gold belt.

The VTEM survey was conducted by Geotech Ltd. and covered approximately 1,400 line kilometres at 150 metre spacing over three specific high-priority areas of the concession within a broader survey coverage at 200 metre spacing. Condor Consulting Inc. ("Condor"), experts in the field of airborne electromagnetics, has been retained to perform a detailed interpretation of the results and their final report regarding the significance of the survey is still pending.

The preliminary interpretation by Condor has identified 19 potential target zones as defined by conductivity and magnetic geophysical anomalies on the Biricu Project. Six of these target zones are aligned along a 5 kilometer northeast trending corridor, which to date has only been partially ground tested. A field crew has been mobilized to conduct further mapping and sampling over the geophysical anomalies in order to prioritize areas for possible drill testing. Upon receipt of the final geophysical interpretation, the results will be integrated with the analysis of the field work completed and drill targets will be prioritized. The details of the final results will be presented in a future news release.

Upon finalization of specific drill targeting the Company expects to initiate its environmental permitting process and commit to a drilling contract in February 2013.
