Balmoral Resumes Drilling of Grasset Nickel-Copper-PGE Discovery, Quebec

VANCOUVER, BC–(Marketwired – June 18, 2014) – Balmoral Resources Ltd. (TSX: BAR) (OTCQX: BALMF) (“Balmoral” or the “Company“) announced today that drilling to follow up the recent discovery of high-grade nickel-copper-PGE mineralization on the Company’s wholly owned Grasset Property in Central Quebec has resumed. Drilling will initially focus on the further delineation of Horizon 3 which returned a high grade intercept of 1.79% Ni, 0.19% Cu, 0.42 g/t Pt and 1.04 g/t Pd over 45.28 metres starting at less than 100 metres vertical depth in hole GR-14-25 (see NR14-11; May 20, 2014). A series of 8-10 holes will test for lateral and vertical extensions of this near surface high-grade sulphide zone prior to additional testing of Horizons 1 and 2. All Zones remain open in all directions for near term expansion. It is anticipated that this phase of the Grasset program will take 3-4 weeks to complete.

In addition the Company has plans to significantly expand its ground and airborne geophysical coverage along the entirety of the 16 kilometre long Grasset Ultramafic Complex over the summer months to examine the potential for additional nickel-copper-PGE mineralization along this largely untested trend.

“We are very excited to have drilling underway at Grasset as we begin to build on the impressive results from the winter drill program,” said Darin Wagner, President and CEO of Balmoral. “The Grasset Ni-Cu-PGE discovery presents our shareholders with an exciting opportunity at a time when the nickel market is very strong and demand for new projects in the nickel space is high.”
