Orefinders Assembles “South Break“ Land Package in Kirkland Lake-Larder Lake Gold District

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/12/13 -- Orefinders Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: ORX) has entered into agreements to acquire several properties along a major structure which will be called the" South Break Project" in the Kirkland Lake- Larder Lake gold district. This land package includes patent claims optioned from the "Yost" estate which have not been optioned or explored since the late 1940's. The last historical drilling program on the Yost patents occurred in 1949 and consisted of two short diamond drill holes which targeted the "South Break" structure. Gold values up to 2.08 ounces per ton gold over 8 feet were reported at a shallow depth of 50 feet in mineralized syenite, a favorable host rock associated with many of the largest gold deposits in the Kirkland Lake gold district. The historical drill results from the Yost are considered non-compliant with regard to instrument NI-43-101, and therefore should not be relied upon. Orefinders intends to follow-up with a systematic exploration program on this assembled new land package which covers 4 kilometers of the South Break structure.

A second option was obtained from Misema Holdings Ltd. with regard to four leased mining claims located along the eastern extension of the Yost patent claims, providing four kilometers of strike along the South Break. The property is flanked by the Trans-Canada highway, with all season secondary roads and major power lines on the property. Mining and exploration service companies are based in the nearby towns of Kirkland Lake and Larder Lake, maximizing exploration budget expenditures directly into the ground. The South Break project is surrounded by Osisko land holdings in this mature gold camp.

In keeping with Orefinders' exploration approach, attractive deal structures are in place for Orefinders to fast track to 100% ownership over relatively short periods of time on both properties. In order to earn in 100% ownership on the Yost patent claims, Orefinders is required to make cash payments totalling $275,000 along with a total work commitment of $900,000 over three years. There is a 2% NSR which is capped and can be purchased for $2,000,000. Advance royalty payments commencing in year four will be deducted from the NSR.

In order to earn in 100% ownership of the Misema Holdings leased mining claims, Orefinders is required to issue a total of 80,000 shares and make total cash payments of $80,000 along with a total work commitment of $200,000 over four years. There is a 2% NSR payable to the vendors, of which one half of the NSR (1%) can be purchased for $1,000,000.
