LAVAL, CANADA--(Marketwired - Sept. 25, 2013) - TYPHOON EXPLORATION INC. ("Typhoon") (TSX VENTURE:TYP) and Joint Venture Partner Hecla Quebec Inc. began Field Exploration Program in July, on the Fayolle Project. A combination of different exploration works will permit the next drilling programs on new prioritized surface targets showing similar characteristics as the Fayolle Deposit.

TRENCHING ON THE FAYOLLE DEPOSIT

Trenching on the subcroping area of the Fayolle Deposit will enhance geological and geometrical comprehension of the near surface, high-grade mineralization present at Fayolle. The new trench should provide visual access to a mineralized zone defined in the latest resource model. Mapping and systematic channel-sampling will provide unrivalled information on Fayolle's high-grade mineralization consistency and confirm its orientation.

PROSPECTION AT THE PROPERTY SCALE

An 80 km ground magnetometer survey will extend the 2004 ground survey towards the east in order to identify other magnetic patterns similar to the ones already known to characterize the Fayolle and McDonald mineralization. The identification of new outcrop areas showing favourable magnetic signatures will support a subsequent prospection program.

TRENCHING ON THE PARÉ TREND

Trenching is planned on the Paré Trend, located 500 m south of the Fayolle Deposit. The Paré Trend returned a drillhole intersection of 1.3 g/t Au over 36 meters. No outcrops featuring the geology of the Paré Trend are known. Mapping and channel-sampling will follow.

OUTLOOK

The realization of the surface exploration efforts will provide critical basic information and drill targets leading to increase the property resources basis.
