Cogitore Drilling on Central Lens Confirms Continuous Mineralization and Increases Tonnage Potential at Scott Lake

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - March 2, 2011) -

Cogitore Resources Inc. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:WOO) is pleased to report assays from two massive sulphide intervals in drill hole SC-60, recently completed on the Company's Scott Lake Project (Chibougamau, PQ). The two intervals, separated by a barren dyke, yielded the following:

• 0.9 % copper, 5.5 % zinc, 0.1 g/t gold and 52 g/t silver over 15.3 metres (257.1-272.4m); and

• 0.6 % copper, 5.5 % zinc, 0.14 g/t gold and 24 g/t silver over 14.5 metres (302.6-317.1m).

Hole SC-60 was drilled to fill in a gap in coverage of the relatively shallow Central Lens (215 metres below surface), which will enable Central Lens mineralization to be added to existing NI 43-101 compliant resources (3.6 Mt of 1.1% copper, 5.2% zinc, 0.3 g/t gold and 36 g/t silver). One objective of the on-going program in the Central Lens area is to improve drilling coverage which was previously found inadequate by Scott Wilson RPA to include the massive sulphide lens in the original resources estimate. 

"The almost thirty metres of massive sulphides are the thickest ever intervals of this type of mineralization in the Central Lens" says Gerald Riverin, Cogitore's President and CEO. "We believe the massive sulphides once formed a single interval that was subsequently separated into two (dilated) by dykes related to overlying volcanic rocks. Dyking is a relatively common feature of base metal deposits of this type, indicative of high heat flow – a good thing to have evidence of."

In addition to Central Lens being added to compliant resources, mineralization associated with the new copper-rich CFO Lens will also be added to the next resource update, which is expected to be completed late in the second quarter.

Drilling continues with two drill rigs at Scott Lake. In addition to Scott Lake, drilling continues also at the Estrades-Caribou project but production has been slow due in part to very cold temperatures experienced in January. Drilling at the Lemoine project has been deferred temporarily due to technical problems encountered and the rig moved to the Scott Lake project.

All drill core discussed in this press release was logged and marked up for assay at the Company's secure facility in Chibougamau, Quebec. Drill core for assay was split in half. Half of the core was shipped in sample bags to Laboratoire Expert Inc. of Rouyn-Noranda with appropriate standards, duplicates and replicates used for quality control purposes. The other half of the core is retained for future reference.

The Company has developed a strategic focus on base metal exploration in prospective areas that also feature infrastructure favourable for mining development. Accordingly, it will focus its work in the Abitibi Belt of Quebec and Ontario.
