Darwin Commences Ground Geophysical Survey at Suriloma Peru

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired - Oct 16, 2013) - Darwin Resources Corp. ("Darwin" or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE:DAR) (PINKSHEETS:DARWF) (FRANKFURT:DWU) announces that it has commenced a ground geophysical induced polarization ("IP") survey at its Suriloma project in the Department of La Libertad, Peru. Suriloma is located in a pedigreed epithermal gold belt, just 30km from Barrick's Lagunas Norte (14 Moz contained gold) and 50km from Rio Alto's La Arena mine (2.3 Moz gold oxide).

At Suriloma, Darwin has discovered surface gold and silver mineralization at 6 prospect areas over a strike length of 5 kilometres. Only one of these areas, La Puerta, has been partially drill tested by drilling to a maximum depth of 100 metres in August 2013. Encouraging gold was intersected in several drill holes with gold grades increasing with depth at La Puerta (see Darwin Press Release August 19 2013).

Gold mineralization occurs together with disseminated sulphides, which should be detectable in the sub-surface using IP geophysics. Two separate areas will be surveyed with IP, which will help identify new targets for future drill testing from the surface to a depth of 300 metres. Gold targets at the La Puerta - Inmaculada - Guadalupe areas will be covered by one survey, while a copper - silver target will be tested by a second survey area at Edelmira - see Figure 1.

Dr Graham Carman, the Company's President and CEO, states: "Suriloma is a large project with multiple mineralized structures identified through mapping, surface sampling and early stage drilling. The project warrants the momentum of further exploration and we look forward to receiving the geophysical data which will aid in refining and extending targets down to a maximum depth of 300 metres for our next drill program. We expect the IP program to be completed before the end of October."

The qualified person, Dr Graham Carman, Darwin's President and CEO, and a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, has reviewed and verified the technical contents of this release.
