HUD Hudson Resources Inc

HUDSON RESOURCES INC. (TSX VENTURE:HUD)(OTCQX:HUDRF) (the "Company") is pleased
to announce the following update on the metallurgical testwork program for
aluminum leaching extraction from its White Mountain anorthosite (calcium
feldspar) project in Greenland. Alumina production is one of three potential
revenue streams Hudson is analysing for the White Mountain project.


The testwork is being undertaken at SGS Canada Inc.'s Lakefield facility under
the direction of Hudson's consulting metallurgist, John R. Goode, P.Eng. Initial
testwork using hydrochloric acid (HCl) has demonstrated the high solubility of
the anorthosite material at normal atmospheric pressure and relatively low
temperatures. Aluminum recoveries ranged from 89.7% to 93.7%. The highest
recovery was achieved at a temperature of 110 Celsius and an HCl strength of
30%. The White Mountain anorthosite rock averages approximately 30% aluminum
oxide (Al2O3) and 1.25% iron oxide (Fe2O3).


Downstream testwork on leach solutions is ongoing and includes aluminum chloride
precipitation, alumina production and acid regeneration testing. Once this
testwork is completed, Hudson will initiate a scoping study to determine the
preliminary economics of producing an alumina product and potential silica and
calcium by-products. Testwork is expected to be completed in the second quarter.


James Tuer, Hudson's President, stated, "We are very excited with these initial
leach results which demonstrate that recoveries in excess of 90% aluminum can be
achieved using standard technologies and under moderate conditions. The high
solubility of our White Mountain Anorthosite, which is unique to high calcium
feldspars, makes it an excellent candidate for potential alumina production. As
well as containing high aluminum, its low iron content should help reduce
processing costs. With Alcoa proposing an aluminum smelter in Greenland and
three smelters currently operating in Iceland, we are well positioned to provide
alumina to end users if we can provide it at a competitive price compared to
conventional alumina being produced from bauxite using the Bayer process. It may
also be possible to provide an added benefit by utilizing the 15% calcium in the
rock to capture CO2 and thereby lower greenhouse gas emissions, which is a key
objective of the aluminum industry."


Hudson's White Mountain anorthosite is relatively unique in that it has high
concentrations of aluminum, silica and calcium, with little to no contaminants
and low iron. Hudson has determined that the White Mountain anorthosite has
three potential industrial applications:


1. As a new source of alumina to supply aluminum smelters;
2. As a new source of feedstock to the high end fiberglass (E-glass) industry; and
3. As a new source of filler material. Fillers are a significant component in
the plastics and paints industries.


Hudson commenced exploration on the White Mountain Project in January 2012 and
has completed over 4,300 meters of drilling in 45 drill holes at White Mountain.
A resource model is expected to be completed within the next month. Processing
of a 122 tonne bulk sample is expected to start shortly at the Saskatchewan
Research Council's pilot plant in Saskatoon. Based on bench scale testing, the
material requires minimal processing: crushing, grinding, magnetic separation
and milling. The processed bulk sample material will be provided to potential
end users in the E-glass industry for testing in their furnaces. The Company has
also initiated baseline environmental studies with the objective of submitting
an application for a mining license in early 2014.


The White Mountain Project is owned 100% by Hudson. The Project is located on
tidewater approximately 40 km from the Company's 100% owned rare earth element
(REE) project. White Mountain is envisioned as an open pit mining operation
similar in scope to a quarry. The Company remains well-financed with
approximately $7 million in working capital.
