Continental Announces Second Hole DOK Drilling Program Update

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Sept. 17, 2014) -

THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO U.S. PERSONS.

Continental Precious Minerals Inc. (TSX:CZQ) (the "Company", or "Continental") is pleased to provide an update on the second diamond drill hole completed on the DOK copper-gold-molybdenum-silver project located in northwest BC. Pursuant to an option agreement with Boxxer Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:BXX)(PINKSHEETS:BXXRF), Continental has the right to earn up to a 75% interest in the DOK Property if certain conditions are met (see Press Release on April 14, 2014). The 2014 diamond drilling program consisting of 2 holes totalling 834.9m has been completed. Highlights of the second diamond drill hole (DDH) DOK-2014-02 are set out below:

Highlights:

• Diamond drill hole (DDH) DOK-2104-02, with a core length of 424.9m, intersected visible occurrences of chalcopyrite mineralization from a core depth of 36.6m to 389.5m.
• Trace bornite was noted to occur in the core from 57.3m to 110.3m and from 389.5m to 424.9m (end of hole).
• The mineralization observed in DDH DOK-2014-02 is hosted in alternating strongly potassic and phyllic altered volcanics of the Stuhini Group and multiple quartz monzonite intrusives.
• Hydrothermal biotite and gypsum veining as well as disseminated and fracture controlled pyrite and magnetite occur in variable concentration throughout the core, and
• Assays for the drill core from holes DDH DOK-2014-01 and -02 are expected to be received within the next few weeks.

Drill hole DDH DOK-2014-02 was designed to test a >10 mRad portion of a chargeability signature outlined by a Quantec Titan-24 DCIP-MT geophysical survey completed in 2012. DDH DOK-2014-01 tested the >20 mRad portion of the same chargeability signature approximately 400m along strike.

DDH DOK-2014-02 was an inclined, HQ diameter hole completed to a core length of 424.9m, and intersected variable concentrations of visible chalcopyrite (and malachite) with two intervals containing trace bornite mineralization. The copper mineralization occurs as disseminations and in thin veinlets in variably potassic and phyllic altered volcanic rocks and quartz monzonite intrusives. Abundant gypsum as well as hydrothermal biotite veining and matrix-replacement occurs in several sections of the core. Variable concentrations of pyrite and magnetite were also noted throughout the drill hole. Several late dioritic dykes and a thin hydrothermal breccia were intersected by the drill hole.

The assays for the core samples from the two drill holes will be required before any assessment of the significance of the reported mineralization in both drill holes can be completed.

The reader is cautioned that visible chalcopyrite and bornite mineralization does not necessarily equate to significant concentrations of copper and there is no assurance that the assay results of the samples from this drill hole will yield significant copper grades.

Mr. Vig, CEO of Continental states that "We are encouraged by the fact that visible chalcopyrite and bornite, in association with strong potassic and phyllic alteration, has been reported from drill hole DDH DOK-2014-02 in that it suggests continuity to the mineralization and alteration observed in hole DDH DOK-2014-01, located 400m to the north (see Press Release on August 18, 2014). The location of the DOK property between a cluster of large copper deposits to the south and several active exploration projects to the north of the Stikine River, combined with the large dimensions of the porphyry-style surface mineralization, alteration, geochemistry and geophysical signatures found on the property, supports the presence of a porphyry copper system on the DOK project."
