December 05 2012 - 5:36PM
Marketwired Canada
Citation Resources Inc. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CTT) is pleased to announce
preliminary results of its airborne versatile time-domain electromagnetic
("VTEM") survey completed in October 2012 over a substantial portion of the
Biricu Gold Project located within Mexico's Guerrero gold belt.
The VTEM survey was conducted by Geotech Ltd. and covered approximately 1,400
line kilometres at 150 metre spacing over three specific high-priority areas of
the concession within a broader survey coverage at 200 metre spacing. Condor
Consulting Inc. ("Condor"), experts in the field of airborne electromagnetics,
has been retained to perform a detailed interpretation of the results and their
final report regarding the significance of the survey is still pending.
The preliminary interpretation by Condor has identified 19 potential target
zones as defined by conductivity and magnetic geophysical anomalies on the
Biricu Project. Six of these target zones are aligned along a 5 kilometer
northeast trending corridor, which to date has only been partially ground
tested. A field crew has been mobilized to conduct further mapping and sampling
over the geophysical anomalies in order to prioritize areas for possible drill
testing. Upon receipt of the final geophysical interpretation, the results will
be integrated with the analysis of the field work completed and drill targets
will be prioritized. The details of the final results will be presented in a
future news release.
Upon finalization of specific drill targeting the Company expects to initiate
its environmental permitting process and commit to a drilling contract in
February 2013.

numerous technical articles and is considered to be an expert on Guerrero Gold
Belt type deposits. Mr. Jones has worked extensively throughout the Guerrero
Gold Belt for clients including Teck, Wheaton River, Goldcorp, Penoles, Grupo
