WCB Resources Ltd. Announces Highly Encouraging Initial Rock Sample Results, Misima EL1747

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - June 4, 2012) - WCB Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:WCB) -

Summary

• Rock chip sample results upgrade prospectivity for a significant Copper Gold porphyry project
• Two spatially separate hydrothermal systems requiring further exploration identified
• Peak Cu to 1.14%, Au to 2.12 g/t and Ag to 854 g/t
• Soil results anticipated shortly for comparison with rock chip data
• Mineralised intrusive phases recognised

As previously announced, WCB Resources Ltd. ("WCB" or the "Company") has entered into an exploration Farm-In Agreement with Pan Pacific Copper ("PPC") covering EL1747 located on Misima Island, Papua New Guinea. EL 1747 is held by PPC's wholly owned subsidiary Gallipoli Exploration (PNG) Ltd ("Gallipoli").

The results from initial rock chip grab sampling completed in conjunction with the systematic regional soil sampling program on EL1747 are now available. A total of 46 rock chip grab samples have been collected whilst exploration teams have been undertaking the previously announced systematic regional soil program. The result highlights are described below.

Results from these (rock chip) samples confirm WCB's concepts and indicate extensive further detailed exploration is required. Initial data confirm and indicate the existence of two (2) metal bearing spatially separate hydrothermal systems (Target Areas). The principle target is porphyry style or related Cu Au mineralisation. Results include:

Target Area 1 - Porphyry Cu Au
778569	Skarn	0.16% Cu	0.79 g/t Au	109 g/t Ag
778921	Diorite	0.41% Cu	2.12 g/t Au	21.5 g/t Ag
778922	Diorite	0.98% Cu	0.26 g/t Au	14.1 g/t Ag
778924	Schist	0.62% Cu	0.36 g/t Au	177 g/t Ag
778926	Schist	1.14% Cu	6.4 g/t Ag
Target Area 2 - Quartz Mountain
784731	Breccia	0.11% Cu	367 ppm Mo
784836	Vein	0.08% Cu	0.3 g/t Au	854 g/t Ag	0.79% Pb

Interpretation of this initial data at Target Area 1 indicates the presence of a mineralised intrusive diorite phase with coincident highly encouraging copper, gold and silver levels. Other positive indications include the existence of mineralised host rocks including skarn material.

Target Area 2 results at Quartz Mountain suggest a gold related system with high order Ag and Mo.

Commenting on these results, Cameron Switzer, President and CEO said, "This data is the first indication of the scope and scale of this exploration project. The encouraging component of this is that these (rock chip) samples have been collected as a secondary component of a broader more systematic program which was focussed on the collection of soil samples which will no doubt define a more refined interpretation of the region. Importantly the high levels of anomalism in these rocks with Au to 2.12 g/t, Cu to 1.14% and Ag to 854 g/t suggest that the metal carrying capacity of these systems is significant. Importantly, the existence of mineralised intrusive phases with high order results has been demonstrated. If a correlation of these results with soil results and broader geological data can be demonstrated, the definition of drill targets should be established at an early stage. To be able to announce these results within four months of exploration commencement is a credit to the exploration team and further demonstrates the project upside."

It is anticipated that data pertaining to soil results will be available immediately upon confirmation of quality assurance and quality control standards and validation techniques. A detailed table of all rock chip data is shown in Table 1 below (GDA94 Z56).

About the Misima JV and EL1747

In December 2011, WCB entered into an exploration Farm-In Agreement with Pan Pacific Copper ("PPC") covering EL1747 located on Misima Island, Papua New Guinea. Under the terms and conditions of the exploration Farm-In Agreement, WCB can earn up to a 70% interest in EL1747 Misima by spending a total of AUD9.0M within a 4 year timeframe.

PPC, owned by JX Nippon Mining and Metals (66%) and Mitsui Mining and Smelting (34%), is a global mining, smelting, refining and international copper producer.

The Company is targeting Porphyry copper gold and Epithermal gold silver mineralisation on EL 1747.

From a geological and mineral deposits perspective, EL 1747 is located in the same terrain and geological region that includes the deposits of Grasberg, Ok Tedi, Hidden Valley, Wafi-Golpu, Lihir, Simberi and Panguna as well as significant projects such as Tolukuma, Kainantu and Woodlark Island. Importantly Misima Island has previously demonstrated mineral deposit pedigree through the past production of 4.0M ounces of gold and 20M ounces of silver from various operations but most recently the Misima Mine owned by Placer Dome Asia Pacific (now Barrick Gold). This mine ceased open pit production in 2001 and closed in 2004.

EL1747 Misima consists of 53 sub blocks covering an area of 180km². The exploration licence is located on the eastern portion of the island and surrounds and overlays the historic SML (Special Mining Lease). The exploration licence was targeted by WCB due to the presence of a significant high order copper stream sediment anomaly in multiple drainages which has received limited detailed follow up activity. Furthermore, additional high order gold and zinc anomalies have been identified and require follow up detailed work.

Samples were prepared and assayed by Australian Laboratory Services Pty Ltd, Minerals Division in Brisbane, Australia. Gold was measured using a 30 gram sample weight by method Au-AA25, comprising fire assay with AAS finish. Other elements were analysed by method ME-ICP41 using aqua regia digest and ICP-AES. Copper greater than 10,000 ppm and silver greater than 100 ppm were re assayed by methods Cu-OG46 and Ag-OG46, using aqua regia digest and ICP-AES.
