Colorado Resources Expands Kinaskan to Include Castle Gold-Silver-Copper Property

COLORADO RESOURCES (TSXV:CXO) (“Colorado” or the “Company“) announces it has entered into a purchase agreement, (the “Agreement“) with Kaizen Discovery Inc. (“Kaizen“) (TSX VENTURE:KZD) to acquire a 100% interest in the Castle gold-silver-copper property (the “Castle Property“)

The Castle Property is located 25 km northwest of Imperial Metals Red Chris¹ mine development and within a district which hosts several significant gold-copper mines¹ and occurrences including Red Chris, North Rok³, GJ¹, Quash¹, Saddle¹, and Spectrum¹, (see Figure 1). The Castle property is also surrounded on three sides by Colorado’s Kinaskan property.

Previous work at the Castle² focused on the western side of the property and included the completion of 21 diamond drillholes (4,805 m) between 1988 and 2013.

The mineralization at Castle is associated with an east-west striking structural and intrusive corridor that is spatially related to a 150 m x 1500 m long copper and gold soil anomaly, a coincident magnetic anomaly and an IP chargeability high.

Gold – copper mineralization noted to date includes both broad porphyry style and higher grade vein styles, such as:

• DDH CA 13-01 with 274 m of 0.102% Cu and 0.283 g/t Au
• DDH CA 13 – 03 with 4 m of 2.14% Cu, 4.88 g/t Au, and 73.2 g/t Ag contained within a 174 m interval of 0.106% Cu and 0.466 g/t Au⁴

The historic data² suggests that the gold-copper mineralization at the Castle is open, and potentially strengthening, to the east, over a distance of 4.4 km to the property boundary towards the GT Gold¹, Saddle Zone discovery. This area has seen the lowest density of historical drill testing.

Adam Travis, Colorado President and CEO states, “We are pleased to have Kaizen as a shareholder and to have the opportunity to advance the already significant historical results at the Castle Property. We believe that our technical team, with their extensive experience in this belt, and in particular with the successful North Rok porphyry copper-gold project, is strongly positioned to rapidly advance the Castle Property during the 2017 field season.”

The Agreement

Under the terms of the agreement, Colorado may acquire a 100% interest in the property, subject to a 2% percent NSR to the underlying original vendor (the “Original Vendor NSR“) for the following consideration:

1. 1,000, 000 units of Colorado (“Consideration Units“) to be issued to Kaizen within 5 days of the TSX Venture Exchange (“Exchange”) approval. Each Consideration Unit will consist of one common share and one common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle Kaizen to purchase a further common share at a purchase price of $0.60 per share for a period of 24 months.

The Company has the option to purchase the Original Vendor NSR for CDN$4,000,000. The Consideration Shares issued in connection with the agreement will be subject to a four month hold period. The Agreement remains subject to regulatory approval.

Cautionary Notes1 – 4 New Release and Figures

¹ This news release contains information about adjacent properties on which Colorado has no right to explore or mine. Readers are cautioned that mineral deposits on adjacent properties are not indicative of mineral deposits on the Company’s properties.

²Historical information contained in this news releases maps or figures regarding the Company’s project or adjacent properties are repeated for historical reference only and cannot be relied upon as the Company’s QP, as defined under NI-43-101 has not prepared nor verified the historical information.

³ 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.

⁴ All drill intercepts are drill indicated lengths. Insufficient technical information exists to demonstrate the true widths of these intersections.
