Condor de Oro-Mariana Advances to Next Stage of Option and Reports Results from Hole 5


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jan. 28, 2014) - Condor Resources Inc. - ("Condor" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CN) is pleased to provide results from CDOYE-005, the fifth hole of 2013 completed at the Condor de Oro project, located along the gold-copper Cordillera del Condor belt in northern Peru. The widely spaced, 'scout drilling' program was designed to provide a better understanding of the four square kilometre target area, which hosts an anomalous gold-copper system at surface related to porphyritic intrusions. The prior four holes completed in 2013 were summarized in news releases dated November 20th and December 20th.

With the completion of hole 5, Mariana Resources Limited ('Mariana') have satisfied their contractual obligations for the first year of their option. Mariana have advised the Company they are continuing with the earn-in option, and will be making the US$200,000 option payment to Condor due by January 31, 2014.

CDOYE-005 targeted the central zone of the intrusive complex and was drilled at an azimuth of 20 degrees and angled at minus 60 degrees. The hole is located 607m north-northeast of CDOYE-004. Hole 5 intersected copper and molybdenum, interpreted as wall rock style porphyry copper mineralization, hosted by intense potassic altered andesite volcanics. The best copper interval was 102.7m of 0.19% copper. Anomalous gold is present as well, and includes intervals of 2.4m of 0.84 g/t Au, 6.6m of 0.56g/t Au, 20.0m of 0.31g/t Au, and 102.7m of 0.11g/t Au.

The widely spaced drilling to date confirms the Pucayacu target area mineralization relates to a large porphyry complex with multiple diorite and dacite porphyry intrusive phases. The geological understanding of the target area is evolving favourably with this initial phase of drilling, and the focus of the current field exploration is now on continued geological mapping and geochemical sampling to assist in prioritizing additional drilling targets. It is expected drilling will resume next month.

The Condor de Oro concessions are owned by Exploraciones Aguila Dorada S.A.C. ("EAD"). Condor has an irrevocable option to acquire 85% of the issued shares of EAD, and in turn, Condor has granted Mariana an option to acquire 60% of Condor's shareholding interest, being an overall 51% interest. Mariana is assisting EAD with the drill program under the terms of the option agreement with Condor.
