Darwin Resources to focus on Suriloma; relinquishes Alto Quemado option

VANCOUVER, Sept. 26, 2012 /CNW/ - Darwin Resources Corp ("Darwin" or "The Company") (TSXV:DAR) (OTCPK:DARWF):

Darwin has been undertaking exploration work at its Suriloma gold - silver project located in the Department of La Libertad, northern Peru, where it has been receiving very encouraging results from recent surface sampling. See news releases dated July 9, 2012 and August 20, 2012.

The Company has decided to focus its attention on the Suriloma property as its highest priority project. Exploration is continuing with more detailed surface sampling, in addition, a ground magnetic survey planned for October will assist in structural interpretation, particularly in areas lacking outcrop. In parallel, Darwin is progressing well with strengthening its good relations with surface landholders. This work will lead to access agreements in the near future.

A detailed review and assessment of the technical merits of the Alto Quemado property has been completed and this review has downgraded the economic potential of the Alto Quemado porphyry copper target. In addition, the terms of the deal call for significant payments, including a payment of US$550,000 due once a drill permit is received and a further payment of Euros 5.12 million by July 2014. As a consequence, after careful consideration of all factors, the Board of Directors has determined to terminate the option to acquire the Alto Quemado property, and to withdraw from the project with no retained interest. Darwin has provided notice to the owners that the Company intends to terminate the option. All capitalized costs relating to the project will be written off.
