MANILA, PHILIPPINES--(Marketwire - Feb. 2, 2011) - Crazy Horse Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CZH) (the "Company") a Philippines based mineral exploration company, announces assays from the last four holes in aten-hole confirmatory drilling program on its Taysan copper-gold-silver porphyry project. These results complete the dataset to be used to confirm a 43-101 compliant resource on the Taysan deposit. This resource will be used as the basis for the scoping study due to be completed by the end of February.
The Company is continuing with drill definition of the Taysan deposit in order to establish a measured and indicated resource suitable to complete a bankable feasibility study. There are currently 5 drill rigs active on site.
A summary of the results from holes CZT007, 008, 009 and 010 are as follows:

QAQC
Drilling is carried out by Quest Exploration Drilling (Philippines) Inc. using Edson 3000 and LF70 drill rigs and a triple tube diamond core drilling system. All holes were started in PQ (150-200m) then continued in HQ. All core was split using a diamond-bladed drill-core saw and always sampled from the (true) left side of the core. The remaining half of the core was sealed in plastic bags in a nitrogen atmosphere and stored in a covered, guarded core shed. Core samples were bagged in new polyethylene, UV stable plastic bags, sealed with a plastic tie, numbered outside and had a tag placed inside the bag. All samples were accompanied by Asian Arc personnel from site to the McPhar Laboratory under secure "Chain of Custody" procedures. Samples were crushed to 85% <2mm then 1kg was split out and pulverised in an LM2 Puck and Bowl Pulveriser to 90% <75um. Gold was assayed by Fire Assay (50g charge) with AAS finish (PM6). Cu, Ag, As, Pb, Zn, Mo, Al, Ca, Fe, K and S were assayed by 4 Acid Digest (HCl / HNO3 / HClO4 / HF) Ore grade analysis with ICP-AES finish (ICP-3). Sample rejects were returned from the McPhar Laboratory under secure "Chain of Custody" procedures by Asian Arc staff and also stored in the core shed in heat sealed plastic bags in a nitrogen atmosphere. McPhar Geoservices (Phil), Inc. is ISO 17025:2005 accredited and is a member of the International Intertek Laboratory Group.
Taysan Project
A copy of the National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") report by R.Sowerby, of Geosynthesis Pty Ltd. entitled "A Technical Review of Exploration and Resource Estimates of the Taysan Project, Batangas Province, Philippines", in collaboration with Mining Associates Inc. of Australia canbe viewed under the Company's profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).
The Project contains a drill defined copper-gold porphyry deposit, and is comprised of two mining exploration permits and three mining exploration permit applications (permits: EP-IVA-005 and EP-IVA-016, and permit applications: EPA-IVA-108, EPA-IVA-111 and EPA-IVA-081) over five contiguous claim blocks covering a combined total area of 11,254 hectares. The Project hosts a large and only partly explored copper-gold porphyry deposit similar to other copper-gold porphyry deposits previously mined in the Philippines. The Project is located in southern Luzon, Philippines in a well-developed mining province and readily accessible by road located 20km east of the provincial capital and deep-water commercial port of Batangas City. The Company is currently conducting a confirmatory scoping study under the management of AMEC Minproc Limited, which remains on track and on schedule.
Brian Lueck, Chairman of the Company, is the qualified person who has reviewed the geological data summarized in this news release on behalf of the Company.
