VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - June 1, 2015) - Lara Exploration Ltd. ("Lara" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:LRA) is pleased to report results from fourteen diamond drill holes (total 2,156.9 metres) completed by partner Tessarema Resources Inc. ("Tessarema"), at the Osmar target within the Curionópolis Copper Project, in Pará State, Brazil. The best intercepts from this program and summarized in the following table:

Copper Equivalent calculated as ((Copper %) + (0.6 x g/t Gold))

Lara previously reported results for a significant drill hole CRCD-06 with strong supergene copper and gold mineralization from this target, with a mineralized interval of 53.8 metres at 9.59 % Cu and 3.3 g/t Au from 90 metres down hole (see Company News Release of December 1, 2011 for details). The results reported here are for drill holes on the same section as CRCD-06 and on cross-sections at a 25 metre and 50 metre spacing both to the north and to the south of the section, in order to define the extensions along the strike trend and down-dip of the supergene mineralization identified previously. The following table summarizes all the results and intercepts from this program:

Copper Equivalent calculated as ((Copper %) + (0.6 x g/t Gold))

The mineralized intervals have been calculated using a cut-off of 0.3% copper and reporting weighted average gold values within the copper intervals. A maximum of 3 metres of internal waste was incorporated into the mineralized intervals. No top cut was applied to the gold values. All the holes reported here are vertical holes and as such cut the steep east-dipping mineralized structure at an oblique angle, so the intervals reported do not necessarily represent true mineralized thicknesses.

Quality Control

Intertek Brasil (part of Intertek Group plc.) carried out the sample preparation and copper and gold analyses at its laboratory Parauapebas close to the project, and multi-element analyses were made in their laboratory in São Paulo. Intertek follows industry standard quality assurance and quality control procedures with duplicates, multiple standards and blank samples run with each sample batch. Michael Bennell, Lara's Vice President Exploration and a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM), is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and is responsible for the preparation and verification of the technical information in this release.
