Rupert Resources Ltd. ("Rupert" or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE:RUP) today
announced that it has increased the land holdings and furthered the longevity of
certain claims in and around the former producing Surf and Pugsley Mines at its
Surf Inlet Property.


The Surf Inlet property is located on Princess Royal Island, British Columbia,
and is comprised of 21 Crown Grants and eight mineral tenures covering a new
total area of 874 hectares. The property is home to the former producing Surf
and Pugsley Mines which were last operated in 1929 by Surf Inlet Consolidated
Gold Mines Limited. Total reported production from the Surf Inlet Property is
1,091,131 tons at a reported average grade of 13.5 grams gold per ton (0.425
oz/ton) (Vulimiri 1986). The Surf and Pugsley Mines combined historical metal
production is estimated at: 463,731 gold ounces, 201,207 silver ounces and
6,248,853 pounds copper. Of the two mines, Surf produced the majority of gold
ore, 921,245 tons or approximately 84% (BC Minfile Report 103H027).
Mineralization is hosted in quartz veining associated with fault structures.


Rupert believes the Surf Inlet property has significant exploration potential as
evidenced by its former producer status and several exploration programs
conducted between 1980 and 2000. Although no exploration has been undertaken
since a limited diamond drill program in 2000, Rupert has yet to act on the
recommendations and plans for exploration made in an NI 43-101 compliant report
titled "Technical Review, Surf Inlet Gold Project", 2004.


Rupert owns the 21 Crown Grants that encompass the two former producing areas of
the property. The Crown Grants have no expiry dates, but an annual tax on each
claim is payable to the British Columbia Provincial Government to retain
ownership.


Rupert has increased the land holdings to 874 contiguous hectares from 565
hectares in order to more completely contain the areas beyond the two former
producing mines and to consolidate the land holdings of the district. These
mineral tenured areas, which include the 21 Crown Grants, are important for
future exploration potential and for access to the mines. In addition, longevity
of the tenure ownership has increased as the ownership period of four of the
mineral tenures have been extended to 2020. The remaining four tenures can also
be extended through exploration activities or through payment in lieu of such
activities. Please see www.rupertresources.com. 


About the Company

Rupert Resources is a Canadian based gold exploration company. Rupert's
objective is to evaluate the developmental potential of its two assets - the
Surf Inlet property in British Columbia and the Gold Centre property in Ontario
- in parallel with the objective of finding other investment opportunities in
near term producing assets through active searches for development projects.
Rupert holds a 100% interest in the Gold Centre property, which has the
distinction of being one of the best-positioned exploration land packages within
the entire Red Lake gold mining camp. The Gold Centre property is immediately
adjacent to and on trend with the world's richest gold mine, Goldcorp, now
working within 600m of Rupert's boundary. 


In 2004, Rupert commenced an 11,900m drill program on the Gold Centre property
consisting of two main holes and several daughter holes. Although, at the 2008
conclusion of this program no significant gold was found in that small area in
the South West portion of the property, strong geological features were
encountered. On the heels of a recent $510,000 private placement, the new Summer
2013 exploration program has been completed. A geophysical program delineated
three strong I.P. anomalies, with two located in the northwestern portion, and
one in the eastern portion of the property. They have been recommended as
diamond drill targets. See press release, November 14, 2013.
