Vancouver, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 1, 2014 / New World Resource Corp. ("New World" or the "Company") announces that its partner, Fondo de Inversion Privado EPG Exploracion Minera ("EPG Exploration Fund") has provided the Company with assay results from the diamond drill program at the Agua Grande gold-copper project ("Agua Grande") in Chile, and based on these results, the Company will not finance any further exploration work on the project.

The drill program comprised 2,089 metres of diamond drilling in five holes and was designed to test several targets that were based on a 17 kilometre 13 line Electric Resistivity and Induced Polarization survey, a ground magnetic survey and geochemical sampling. The first two drill holes had sulphide mineralization throughout most of the holes (reported February 5, 2014), which was also the case with the remaining three holes. The assays showed very low grade for gold, copper and molybdenum. The surface samples and mining in the area that have good gold and copper grades are part of an older IOCG system of veins, which are not associated with the intrusive and possible porphyry target which was being drilled.

The drill program was funded through an arrangement with New World's partner, EPG Exploration Fund, a private equity fund managed by EPG Partners S.A., in Santiago, Chile (reported January 21, 2014) by way of a shareholders agreement. Pursuant to the shareholders agreement, EPG Exploration Fund is the operator and owns 60% interest, and the Company owns 40% interest in Minera Asturias SpA (reported November 20, 2013).

New World Resources CEO, John Lando commented, "The Company is disappointed with the results of the drilling at Agua Grande. The view that this could host a major deposit was shared by many experienced geologists familiar with the project. New World continues to evaluate projects in mining-friendly jurisdictions."

Exploration work on the Agua Grande project was under the supervision of Brian McEwen, P.Geol., the Company's Chief Operating Officer, who is a "qualified person", as defined in National Instrument 43-101, and is responsible for the preparation of the technical information contained in this news release.
