Landore Resources Limited - Drilling Update - Junior Lake Nickel Project B4-7 Deposit

Highlights:

• The recently completed drilling campaign on the B4-7 deposit has significantly enhanced the volume of B4-7 massive sulphide mineralisation along the 650 metres of strike length delineated to date.
• Drilling consistently intersected massive sulphide mineralisation with grades of > 1% nickel plus notable credits of copper, cobalt and platinum group metals.  The B4-7 remains open down dip and along strike to the east and west.

THUNDER BAY, ON, July 12, 2012 /CNW/ - The drilling campaign started in February 2012, aimed at expanding the B4-7 deposit and providing adequate drill density to bring inferred portions of the deposit to indicated status, is now complete. In total, 81 diamond core NQ size holes and 4 re-entered holes (0412-367 to 0412-448 and 0409-202, 0409-237/238 and 0411-359) for 15,868 metres, have been completed. Assays are outstanding for 28 drill-holes and will be reported as they become available.

B4-7 mineralised intersections include:

*The actual true thickness of mineralisation is estimated to represent between 75-80% of the intervals shown in the above table.

The Junior Lake property:

The Junior Lake property, 100% owned by Landore, is located in the province of Ontario, Canada, approximately 235 kilometres north-northeast of Thunder Bay, and is host to; the B4-7 Nickel-Copper-Cobalt-PGMs deposit, the VW Nickel deposit, the B4-8 prospect and numerous other highly prospective mineral occurrences.

The combined resources (Canadian National Instrument (NI) 43-101 compliant) of the VW and B4-7 deposits delineated to date, total 48,281 tonnes of nickel equivalent (NiEq), 82 per cent of which is in the Indicated category.  Both deposits remain open down dip and along strike to the east and west.

B4-7 Nickel-Copper-Cobalt-PGEs deposit:

The B4-7 deposit is located approximately 3 kilometres to the northwest of the VW deposit. The B4-7 deposit mineralisation is hosted within a sub-vertical massive sulphide vein with stringers, net-textured and disseminated sulphides in the immediate hanging wall. In Q1 2010, a NI 43-101 compliant report and resource estimate upgrade for the B4-7 deposit was completed. The resource reported 26,521 tonnes NiEq, at a 0.25% Nickel cut-off.

2012 Planned Works:

The results of the current drilling campaign on the B4-7 deposit are highly encouraging having significantly increased the potential tonnage amenable to open pit development.

Landore has initiated an in-house resource upgrade, including a full review of all quality assurance-quality control (QAQC) data, geological and grade wireframe modelling, internal resource estimate and the updating of all text required for the final NI43-101 report. On completion, Landore will submit all data for an independent audit and external resource upgrade of the B4-7 deposit. The resource upgrade is anticipated for completion in early Q4 2012.

Pre-feasibility studies on the combined B4-7 and the VW deposits will be initiated in Q1 2013.

A drilling program to extend the B4-7 to the west is currently being planned to commence in Q4 2012.

QAQC

Landore has in place a stringent quality assurance and quality control programme to ensure best practices in sampling and assaying. All samples from the B4-7 project were collected by employees of Landore and shipped directly to ALS Laboratories, Thunder Bay, (ISO 9001 Certified) for preparation and assay in sealed bags. All samples are assayed for gold, platinum and palladium by fire assay, and nickel, copper, cobalt and silver by aqua regia digestion with AA finish, according to ALS's procedures PGM-ICP23, Ni Cu AA46, and Co Ag AA45. Inductively-coupled plasma ("ICP") analyses for a suite of multi-elements (35 elements, including base metals and silver) were performed by procedure ME-ICP41.
