Far Resources Ltd. (CNSX:FAT) ("Far" or "the Company") is pleased to announce
that it has acquired, by staking, additional contiguous ground immediately to
the south and southeast of its 100% owned Silver Switchback property located
approximately 50 kilometres east-southeast of Terrace, in central British
Columbia. The newly acquired claims will be added to the current nine claim
(3,125 ha) Silver Switchback Property where a fall 2012 exploration program
confirmed significant copper and silver mineralization. As reported in our press
release dated February 4, 2013, grab samples of altered and/or mineralized
bedrock and talus on the original Silver Switchback Property returned silver
values in the range from less than 0.1 gram per tonne (g/t) to 627 g/t, and for
copper from 4 parts per million (ppm) to 4.39 per cent. 


The newly acquired claims comprise 5 blocks, (1,451 ha) located south and
southeast of the original Silver Switchback property. The claims cover several
reported (Minfile) mineral showings, with anomalous values of silver, copper and
gold. Previous work in 1994-1995 included a program of geological and
geophysical surveys, prospecting, trenching, and 1,780 metres of diamond
drilling in 15 holes on the Main and Discovery zones. This previous work showed
the Main zone mineralization is an epithermal vein system, which strikes
easterly and dips 15 to 20 degrees to the south. Seven hand trenches were
blasted and hand mucked on the Main Zone. Surface sampling by Golden Hemlock
(News Release Nov 14, 1994) indicate the best interval of mineralization
returning 11.0 metres grading 900 g/t Ag, 0.62 g/t Au and 1.0% Cu. Channel
samples taken by the operator yielded values up to 16.5 g/t Au and 1,158 g/t Ag
(Property File - Visit Report by Tom Schroeter July, 1995). Five holes were
drilled on the Main Zone by Golden Hemlock, comprising 580 metres. The best
intercept in hole 95-02 was 0.6 metres, grading 576 g/t Ag and 0.99% Cu, from
14.0 - 14.6 metres.


The Main Zone was sampled in 2006 by Silver Quest Resources Limited (Silver
Quest News Release - October 12, 2006). Sample 51671 comprised a chip sample of
quartz-carbonate veining over 0.8 metre from an old trench, returning 5.94 g/t
Au, 50.7 g/t Ag, 1.23% Cu, 0.45% Pb and 0.18% Zn. Silver Quest sample 51672
comprised a grab sample of quartz-carbonate veining, returning 24.60 g/t Au,
181.5 g/t Ag, 3.84% Cu, 0.87% Pb and 0.15% Zn. 


The Discovery zone consists of several parallel veins and a 500 by 200 metre
breccia zone believed to be of hydrothermal origin. Assessment reports indicate
that the zone has been traced intermittently in bedrock exposures over a strike
length of 300 metres. Assessment reports indicate that the mineralogy of this
zone differs from the Main Zone in that chalcopyrite, with some minor bornite
and some galena and sphalerite are the dominant sulphide minerals. Five hand
trenches were blasted and hand mucked on the Discovery zone. Surface sampling by
Golden Hemlock (NR Nov 14, 1994) indicate the best interval of mineralization
returning 1.0 metre grading 197 g/t Ag, and 5.93 g/t Au. Assessment files report
a composite chip sample across a 2 metre section of the structure, comprised of
quartz veins in bleached, ankeritic altered rock, assayed up to 9.19 g/t Au.
Silver from grab samples assayed up to 356.2 g/t Ag (Assessment Report 17971).
Ten holes comprising 1,280 metres were drilled on the Discovery hole. The best
intercept reported by Golden Hemlock was in hole 95-06 from 14.3 to 15.2 meters
over 0.9 meters of 5.21 g/t Au, 28 g/t Ag and 1.24% Cu. 


Far is pleased to have acquired the additional claims as it complements and
enhances the company's activities in the area. Far was already planning a summer
exploration program on the original Silver Switchback property, and the newly
acquired claims will also be visited, assessed and evaluated at this time. The
technical information in this news release is based on publicly available
information regarding the Silver Switchback Property but has not been
independently verified by the Company due to lack of access to the historical
data. 


Lindsay Bottomer, P.Geo., a director of the Company and a Qualified Person as
defined in National Instrument 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators,
has approved the technical disclosure in this news release.
