Colorado Resources Announces 402m of 0.28 % Cu and 0.27 g/t Au in Step-Out Hole 400m Southeast of North ROK Discovery Hole 1

WEST KELOWNA, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Aug. 28, 2013) - COLORADO RESOURCES LTD. (TSX VENTURE:CXO) ("Colorado" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of nine additional drill holes (3,148 metres) from the ongoing drill program at its 100% owned North ROK property (the "Property"), located 15 kms northwest of Imperial Metals' Red Chris mine in NW British Columbia. In addition, the Company announces that it has received approval from the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Natural Gas ("MEMNG") to drill an additional 40 holes on the Property.

Drill holes NR13-005 through NR13-009, NR13-012 and NR13-013 were drilled on 100-200 metre step-outs along strike to the southeast of discovery hole NR13-001, while drill hole NR 13-011 was drilled 100m to the northwest of the discovery hole. Drill holes NR13-006, NR13-007 and NR13-013, which stepped back to the southwest, have also returned mineralization 150m off the main trend and may indicate the presence of a second, parallel zone developing in this area.

The Company is very pleased with the progress it has made in defining the size of the North ROK porphyry body, and demonstrating the continuity of mineralization on multiple sections over a 500m strike length. NR13-013 in particular, drilled over 400 metres along strike SE from the initial discovery drill hole, has returned an impressive 402.2 metre interval grading 0.28% copper and 0.27 g/t gold (0.45% Cu Eq*), including 160.9m of 0.41% copper and 0.28 g/t gold (0.58% Cu Eq*). With NR13-009 failing to achieve planned depth, the mineralized zone remains open to the southeast of this important intersection. The Company has now completed first-pass drilling on 500 metres of the 1,200 metre long magnetic high trend, giving the technical team a good understanding of this significant mineralized system, which continues to remain open along strike in both directions, and at depth.

Adam Travis, President and CEO of Colorado Resources commented, "In a mere 4 months since our initial discovery hole was announced, we have completed nearly 6,000m of drilling, enlarged the North ROK porphyry body to over 500m in strike length, maintained average grades of over 0.50% copper equivalent* ("Cu Eq") (0.30% copper and 0.37 g/t gold) in a total of over 1,800m of mineralized intersections, and returned significant porphyry mineralization from 10 of 12 holes. I am particularly encouraged by hole NR13-013 - our farthest mineralized intersection from the discovery hole - which had to be terminated at the drill's maximum capacity (565m depth), but was still returning mineralized material grading 0.24% copper and 0.11 g/t gold (0.31% Cu Eq*) from the bottom of the hole."

Results of these new drill holes are summarized in Table 1 below, and all results from North ROK to date are reported in Table 2 below. A map of all drilling completed to date on North ROK, as well as selected proposed drill holes, is also attached and will be provided on the Company's website www.coloradoresources.com.

Note: the lengths quoted represent core lengths and do not necessarily represent the true thickness of mineralized intervals. The samples were analyzed by Acme Analytical Laboratories of Vancouver, British Columbia. Copper values were first determined using the 1DX ICP-MS method which reports values as parts per million (ppm - 10,000 ppm = 1 %). Any samples containing greater than 2000 ppm copper were assayed by the 7AR method, which reports values as percent copper. The gold results were determined using the G601 Fire Assay method which reports gold results in ppm and are equivalent to grams per tonne (g/t). The analytical results were verified with the application of industry standard Quality Control and Quality Assurance (QA-QC) procedures.

EXPLORATION DRILLING OF EDON TARGET

Drill hole NR13-010 was collared to test the Edon target 1,600m southeast of the North ROK discovery, was abandoned for technical reasons, and is currently being followed up with subsequent drilling.

FUTURE DRILLING

The Company anticipates completing the currently budgeted drill program within the next few weeks. Given the significance of these results, the recent approval from MEMNG to drill an additional 40 holes on the property, and strong cash reserves, the Company expects drilling to continue for the foreseeable future.
