Explor Commences East Bay Exploration Program

ROUYN-NORANDA, CANADA--(Marketwired - July 10, 2013) - Explor Resources Inc. ("Explor or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:EXS)(OTCQX:EXSFF)(FRANKFURT:E1H)(BERLIN:E1H) is pleased to announce the start of the East Bay Property exploration program. The analysis of previous exploration by Cambior has revealed several interesting targets. The exploration program will initially consist of a preliminary 1500 meter drill program.

This program is in line with the Corporation's strategy of conducting exploration along the Porcupine Destor Fault Zone (PDFZ), where several notable gold deposits have been found in the past, including the Timmins mining camp which produced more than 65 million oz of gold. The Corporation now owns 3,203.71 ha of land along this section of the PDFZ, as shown on the attached plan. Explor's East Bay property is contiguous and wraps around the western portion of the Clifton Star's Duparquet property as shown on the attached plan. The East Bay property is approximately 0.5 km west of the former Consolidated Beattie and Donchester Gold Mines, which has produced over 1.0 million oz of gold between 1933 and 1956. Clifton Star has recently announced (Press Release dated June 28, 2013) significant open pit and underground resource on their property.

The East Bay Gold Property is located to the west of the Consolidated Beattie and Donchester Gold Property and contiguous to the ground on which Clifton Star Resources Inc. continues to intersect wide width of gold mineralization (Press Releases dated June 19 and June 6, 2013).

Chris Dupont, President and Chief Executive Officer of Explor Resources Inc. commented: "We are extremely pleased with the East Bay property. Explor Resources is the owner of the largest contiguous land package in the Duparquet Mining Camp. This property completes a wrap around to the west and northwest of the structure hosting the Beattie-Donchester Mines. Explor believes that the structure continues onto the Explor ground. Very little substantive exploration has been completed on the Explor Property."

Geological Context & Mineralization

The mineralization on the East Bay gold property is similar to the Beattie Island within Duparquet Lake and is hosted within the Destor Theolitic Unit of the Blake River Group. Mineralization is associated with interflow volcanic sediments between andesite flows and dioritic sills. The alteration consists of silicification, carbonization and considerable sulphide enrichment.
