Gold Port Resources Ltd. announced that it is in receipt of an independent resource estimate, prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, relating to the Gro3 ete Gold Copper Project, Guyana, in Pit Inferred Resource of 1.59M AuEq ounces at 0.66 g/t AuEq including 0.12% Cu contained in 74.8 M tonnes. The Groete initial mineral resource estimate was prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 standards by P&E Mining Consultants Inc., of Brampton, Ontario, with a database incorporating eight surface diamond drill holes (1,426 meters) drilled by Gold Port during 2012, and eighteen diamond drill holes (3,477 meters) completed by a previous owner between 1994 and 1996. The mineral resource estimate was prepared with the objective of confirming the historical drill results, and identifying a gold resource which would be amenable to open-pit mining methods.

Four of the holes drilled by Gold Port utilized in this estimate were twin holes of historic collars 94-3, 94-5, 96-13 and 96-15, all of which were survey confirmed in their original location on the property. The Groete Gold Copper Project is located in Cuyuni Mining District 4, approximately 60 kilometers southwest of Georgetown, the Capital of Guyana, and close to the city of Bartica, a town of 15,000 people. Access is by a 16 km dirt road from Manaka, directly to the project area.

The project is one of the most easily accessed large gold copper resources in Guyana, having both deep water and electrical power /support infrastructure within approximately 30 km. The company intends to move the project forward to a Preliminary Economic Analysis in stages. The next stage will involve further core drilling and metallurgical testing.

The known limits of the mineral deposit have not been identified, therefore the next phase of core drilling will involve both an infill and step-out program. The intent of the infill will be to enhance the known Inferred resource to the Indicated or Measured classification with the intent of the step-out holes to better define the size of the resource potential of the project. The Company has two drill rigs on site, both having been recently fully re-built and ready for service.

All support vehicles and heavy equipment, including two CL-320 excavators and a D-6 bulldozer, are on site. A full camp and core logging & storage facilities are in place. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues, although the company is not aware of any such issues. The quantity and grade of reported Inferred resources in this estimation are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define these Inferred resources as an Indicated or Measured mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in upgrading them to an Indicated or Measured mineral resource category. The mineral resources in this news release were estimated using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves, Definitions and Guidelines prepared by the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions and adopted by the CIM Council.

The Gemcom block model is defined by 5m x 5m x 5m blocks. A bulk density of 2.89 t/m3 was used for all tonnage calculations. Approximate Dec.

31, 2012 two year trailing prices of $1,600/oz. for gold and $3.80 per pound for copper were utilized in the Au cut-off grade calculation of 0.22 g/t for the in-pit resource estimate. Process recoveries for gold and copper were assumed at 90% and 80% respectively resulting in 1% Cu equaling 1.45 g/t AuEq.

Pit optimization utilized a mining cost of $1.40/tonne, processing $8.50/tonne and G&A of $1.50/tonne.
