- Dissimieux Lake Phosphate Property now covers 240.5 km2
- Several showings staked with values of up to 5.6% P2O5
- Previous claims holders were engaged in titanium or copper-nickel exploration

Mississauga, March 1, 2013: Jourdan Resources Inc. (TSX-V:JOR.V - News) ("JOURDAN" or the "Company") (www.jourdan.ca) is pleased to report that it has staked 25.5 km2 of new claims covering strategically located phosphate showings in the Dissimieux Lake region, bringing the total Dissimieux Lake claim block to 240.5 km2.

In addition to the focused drilling on the Dissimieux Lake Phosphate mineralized zones, Jourdan has undertaken a systematic study of regional targets within the Dissimieux Lake area, resulting in this additional staking. These new targets, which will be the focus of future exploration are listed in the table below and shown on the map that can be found at:
http://jourdan.ca/pdf/20130228JOR-Showings.pdf

Michael Dehn, Jourdan's President and CEO states,"As these strategically located claims became available, Jourdan staked them with a minimal cost of acquisition. With the Fleury occurrences being located in close proximity to the main access road in the region, and with the grades reported by Sigeom, these new occurrences make the Dissimieux Lake Phosphate Project an even more attractive project."

This new staking is the fourth round of staking since the original 8.3 km2 claim block was acquired by Jourdan in 2010. A map showing the progressive expansion of the Dissimieux Lake block can be viewed at http://jourdan.ca/pdf/20130228JORCLAIMS.pdf.

"The company has plans to continue exploration on the Dissimieux Lake Phosphate Property, and these additional claims and showings will be integrated into our ongoing exploration planning," states Stephen Wallace, Jourdan's VP Exploration. "The recent successful drilling on the Main Phosphate Horizon, demonstrates a potentially large mineralized system over many kilometres and these new showings suggest additional exploration and drill targets."

About the Dissimieux Lake Phosphate Project

Jourdan holds a 100% interest in the property with no Net Smelter Return (NSR) Royalty. Similar type deposits in Quebec include Arrianne Phosphate's Lac a Paul Project, and Investissement Quebec and Yara International's Mine Arnaud Project.


About Phosphate

Fertilizers supply plant nutrients, amend soil fertility and are the most effective means of increasing both crop production and food quality. The main nutrients present in fertilizer are nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

Phosphate rock has a high concentration of phosphate minerals, most commonly of the apatite group, which is a primary ingredient in the production of phosphate fertilizers for agricultural purposes. Other uses of phosphate include using phosphorous derived from it in anti-corrosion agents, cosmetics, fungicides, ceramics, water treatment, animal feed supplements, food preservatives and metallurgy. In the agricultural industry, there is no substitute for phosphate.

Recent drivers of demand for phosphate include but are not limited to: increasing global demand for (phosphatic) fertilizer to assist in increasing food production and biofuel crops; a tightening of phosphate rock supplies from the Middle East and North Africa; and competing uses in fertilizers and animal feed supplements.
