Colorado Files NI 43-101 Technical Report for the North ROK Project on SEDAR


WEST KELOWNA, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - March 12, 2014) - COLORADO RESOURCES LTD. (TSX VENTURE:CXO) ("Colorado" or the "Company") announces that it has filed on www.SEDAR.com and the Company's website www.coloradoresources.com, an independent NI-43-101 Technical Report titled "NI 43-101 Technical Report on the North ROK Copper-Gold Project, Liard Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada" dated March 12, 2014 (the "Report"), including the initial inferred resource estimate* for the North ROK project, as described in the Company's news release dated January 27, 2014.

The Report with an effective date of January 27, 2014, was prepared in accordance with NI-43-101 guidelines and CIM Standards, by independent qualified persons. The Report was authored by Mr. Mark Rebagliati BSc., P.Eng. of Rebagliati Consultants Ltd. while the resource estimate was completed by Mr. Gary Giroux, P.Eng. of Giroux Consultants Ltd. Using a 0.20 % Copper Equivalent ** cut-off the inferred resource totals, 142.3 million tonnes averaging 0.22 % copper and 0.26 g/t gold which contain 690.30 million pounds of copper and 1.19 million ounces of gold as follows:

*Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that all or any part of the Mineral Resources estimated will be converted into Mineral Reserves estimate.

**No metallurgical work has been undertaken to establish metal recoveries. For the purpose of developing a copper equivalent 100% recovery of both metals is assumed. The reader is cautioned that 100% recovery is never achieved. The metal prices used in the copper equivalent calculation are from a 100 day moving average as of January 27, 2014 and are listed below.

Factor
Au - US$1318.00 per ounce 42.37 $/gm
Cu - US$3.25 per pound 71.65 $/%

The equation to establish Cu Equivalent is then:

CuEq = (Cu% * 71.65) + (Au g/t * 42.37)
(71.65)

In addition the Report notes the following:

  • North ROK is a significant new British Columbian alkalic copper gold porphyry system which was advanced to an inferred resource category in 9 months since its discovery;

  • to date only 25 % of the high priority IP chargeability highs have been tested by drilling; and

  • a 15,000 m diamond drill proposal is recommended.

Company President and CEO Adam Travis commented: "The completion of this 43-101 Report is an important milestone in Colorado's relatively short 3 year history as we add an inferred resource of over a million ounces of gold and nearly 700 million pounds of copper to our asset base. Colorado remains committed to further develop and expand North ROK's mineral resources and continue to advance shareholder value through continued discoveries."

Qualified Persons and Technical Report

All scientific and technical information included in this news release has been review and approved by Gary Giroux, P.Eng. and Mark Rebagliati, BSc., P.Eng. each of whom is considered a Qualified Person as defined in NI 43-101 and are independent of the Company.

Cautionary Notes

Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Mineral resource estimates do not account for mineability, selectivity, mining loss and dilution. These mineral resource estimates include inferred mineral resources that are normally considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is also no certainty that these inferred mineral resources will be converted to measured and indicated categories through further drilling, or into mineral reserves, once economic considerations are applied. The mineral resource estimate referenced in this press release uses the term "Inferred Mineral Resources". While this terms is defined in and required by Canadian regulations (under NI 43-101), this term is not recognized by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). "Inferred Mineral Resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. The SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute SEC Industry Guide 7 compliant "reserves" as in-place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. Colorado is not an SEC registered company.
