Colorado Identifies New Mineralized Zone and Demonstrates Significant Continuity of Gold Copper Mineralization at North ROK

WEST KELOWNA, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - July 8, 2014) - COLORADO RESOURCES LTD. (TSX VENTURE:CXO) ("Colorado" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of 5 diamond drillholes totalling 2191 m on the North ROK claims. The 2014 Phase I drill program followed the recommendations of the NI 43-101 report to target the expansion of the known inferred resource and drill tested kilometre scale geophysical anomalies that cluster around the existing inferred resource. The location of the 2013 and 2014 drill collars are illustrated on Figures 1 and 2, and the 2014 drill results are compiled in Table 1. All mineralized intervals are drill indicated widths as the precise orientation of the mineralized zone relative to the drillhole orientation has not yet been conclusively defined.

* Cu EQ (copper equivalent) has been used to express the combined value of copper and gold as a percentage of copper and is provided for illustrative purposes only. No allowances have been made for recovery losses that may occur should mining eventually result. Copper equivalent calculations herein use metal prices of US $3.00/lb of copper and US $1,300 per troy ounce of gold using the formula CuEQ= (Cu%+(Au g/t x0.632).

The 2014 Phase I drill program succeeded in:

1. Intersecting new mineralized zones at the West Mabon Zone, associated with 1.5 km long untested IP chargeability anomalies with DDH NR14-031 returning 80.4m of 0.124 g/t Au and 0.442% Cu. Current technical data indicates that unlike the sub-vertically dipping North ROK Main Zone, the West Mabon zone has an apparent 45 degree southwest dip (Figure 3) which creates significant exploration potential along the western margins of the IP chargeability over a distance of more than 1.5 km from DDH NR14-034 to the Edon mineral occurrence.

2. Demonstrating significant depth potential and continuity of gold-copper mineralization over 250 metres below mineralization in DDH NR13-001 with DDH NR14-034 returning 199 m of 0.416 g/t Au and 0.210% cu, including 100.4 m of 0.736 g/t Au and 0.314% Cu (Figure 4) . Copper - gold grades within selected intervals of both DDH NR14-034 and DDH NR13-001 approach that which would be permissive to bulk underground mining. The strength of these copper-gold mineralized zones are continuing to depths exceeding 400 m below surface.

3. Defining the broad, deposit scale geometries and controls on mineralized zones. The presence of a second mineralized zone with a modest southwest dip, when linked to the vertically orientated Mabon Zone, may (i) significantly increase the preferred target area and net tonnage of mineralized rock and (ii) significantly decrease the overall strip ratio of any potential open pit development* (See Cautionary Note).

4. Southwest Dipping Mineralization Implications - The existence of a southwest dipping mineralized zone in the West Mabon area suggests that the results of drilling in the Edon occurrence area, DDH's NR13-010, 13-15 and 13-18 may require re-evaluation. All of these drill holes were collared on 220° azimuths and drilled at -45° dips. These drill holes could have potentially missed southwest dipping mineralization similar to the newly discovered West Mabon Zone. Similarly, DDH NR13-012 which was drilled at an azimuth of 220°and a dip of -45°would not have been favorably orientated to intersect southwest dipping mineralization like the West Mabon Zone.

5. Testing of Other Areas - Drill testing of the North Mabon chargeability anomaly (DDH NR14-030) and tests of the extreme northeastern flank of the Mabon mineralized zone (DDH NR14-033) produced no significant results. A modest copper-gold intersection was obtained while targeting fault offset mineralization with DDH NR14-032 coring 38.9 m of 0.265% Cu and 0.238 g/t Au between 293.7 and 332.6 m.

Adam Travis, President and CEO of Colorado commented: "The results of the first phase of the 2014 North ROK drill program have greatly expanded the size of the currently known gold-copper mineralized zones, diversified the geometry of mineralized zones, established the continuity of higher grade gold-copper mineralization and introduced significant new potential into the North ROK project. Colorado Resource's technical team is currently evaluating the results of the first phase of the 2014 North ROK exploration program with the intention of further testing this remarkable discovery".

* Cautionary Note Regarding Reference to Inferred Resource

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.
