Salmon River continues to advance Treppo Grande acquisition

VANCOUVER, Sept. 26, 2012 /CNW/ - Salmon River Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: SAL) (together with its subsidiaries individually and jointly referred to as "Salmon River" or the "Company") is pleased to provide a further update to its Press Release of 4 September 2012. At that time the Company announced that it had further extended the previously announced payment terms on its agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the shares of Treppo Grande Iron Pty Ltd. (the "Acquisition"), a private Australian company which holds five granted tenements in the Yilgarn Craton of southwestern Australia, including the highly prospective Treppo Grande iron ore prospects. Salmon River wishes to advise that it is in discussions for a further extension of the payment terms and other related conditions. The Company expects to make further announcements in this regard within the next two weeks.

As noted previously, during the last several months, Salmon River has also been involved in extensive negotiations with a number of strategic and financial investors regarding funding for payments under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement and for the furthering of the Treppo Grande Project. The Company continues discussions with these potential investors regarding financing to fund the payments to the Vendor and the exploration program and working capital requirements.

Recent decline in iron ore prices has created uncertainty in the marketplace, however the Company remains confident of the ultimate success of these discussions, especially given the potential of the Treppo Grande Iron Project. Any financing proposals will be subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange and may require shareholder approvals. There can be no assurance that these discussions will be successfully completed or required approvals obtained.
