* 100% interest in 21-claim, 11.6 sq. km Picnic Phosphate Property, no royalties
* Historical samples up to 4.61 % P2O5 and 11.18% TiO2
* Historical drill results of 0.56% Cu and 0.77% Ni over 1.3m
* Picnic claims are located 20 km west of Port Cartier, excellent infrastructure


Toronto (Canada), April 16, 2014: Jourdan Resources Inc. (TSX-V: JOR) ("JOURDAN" or the "Company") (www.jourdan.ca) is pleased to announce that it has acquired 100% interest in the 11.6 square kilometre Picnic Phosphate Property (or, "Picnic"), composed of 21 claims in two blocks and located approximately 20 km west of the town of Port Cartier. The Picnic Phosphate Property is within 2 km of Hydro Quebec's power line grid and highways. The active deep water port of Port Cartier is approximately 20 km north east of the Picnic Phosphate Property (see Map 1).

The Picnic property was staked by Jourdan as part of an ongoing program of data compilation and targeting of historical geological information provided by the Quebec government through Sigeom (Systhme d'information giominihre du Quibec). The Company's target has been the phosphate potential of the Grenville geological province on St. Lawrence North Shore Region between Saguenay and Sept-Nles Quebec.

From the Sigeom database a total of 14 surface samples (see table 1) were found related to the newly staked Picnic claims. The surface samples below indicate the area has been previously targeted for not only the phosphate, iron and titanium potential, but also the copper, nickel and cobalt potential. The most significant phosphate sample listed in the Sigeom database of the Picnic claims is sample 1983008458 which assayed 4.61% P2O5 collected in 1983 as part of a Ministere de l'Energie et des Ressources Quebec study of the area. It should be noted that Jourdan has not yet ground verified any of the values or locations shown in table and maps below. This ground verification will be part of planned future exploration.

In addition to the Sigeom samples, a total of 9 diamond drill holes were completed on the Picnic claims which targeted the copper and nickel potential. In 2002 Ressources Appalaches completed drill hole F02-11 which intersected a 1.3m section which assayed 0.56% Cu and 0.77% Ni and a 0.85m section which assayed 0.19% Cu and 1.04% Ni.

"Jourdan continues to target and consolidate low risk and high potential value phosphate properties along the north shore of the St. Lawrence River between Saguenay and Sept-Nles, Quebec. The close proximity of the nickel and copper values at Picnic is similar to some of the zones observed at the Jazz, Dissimieux Lake and Cache Phosphate properties.  This has consistently been an exploration tool used for targeting acquisitions as there historically has been more nickel-copper exploration in the region versus phosphate exploration" states Stephen Wallace, VP Exploration. "We continue to work on advancing our current phosphate projects, but when there is an opportunity to stake a project like Picnic, it becomes an opportunity for significant potential upside for our shareholders."
