With Exeter’s proven track record of exploration, discovery and development success, we look forward to our teams working closely together, with a focus on discovery opportunities at La Buena and Angeles.”

Co-Chairman of Exeter Resource Corp, Bryce Roxburgh states “Our exploration team has spent 10 months reviewing mineral opportunities in jurisdictions where both the investment climate and the geological prospectivity are favourable. The Angeles and La Buena projects met both criteria and we are excited to work with San Marco to test these exploration properties.”

Preparation for drilling at Angeles is currently underway with start-up expected in March. Exploration work continues at La Buena, in preparation for a major I.P. program which will be conducted over the pediment, south, east and west of the primary “Julia Zone” drill target. Upon completion and analysis of the results, the 2013 drill program will commence.

Vancouver, B.C. – January 28, 2013: San Marco Resources Inc. (SMN: TSX-V) reports additional results from surface and underground sampling at the Angeles property, Sonora State, Mexico.

Robert Willis, the Company’s CEO, stated: “Ongoing exploration continues to support our theory that the Angeles property hosts a multitude of mineralized structures. In addition, interesting metal values also exist in the metasediments between fault/shear zones. Significant geophysical anomalies covered by alluvium, to the east and west, will need to be tested by drilling. San Marco’s Phase 1 drill program is expected to commence in the first quarter.”

Four mineralized structures have now been mapped and sampled over a total strike length of 2.5 km. Localized zones of good surface exposure over various sections of these structures have been named Tompiate, Bonanza, La Verde and La Bota (on the same structure), and Structure #4 (see map on the Company’s website). All samples are chip/channels, have a minimum length of 1 meter, and range up to 2.2 meters. Highlights of these results are:

La Verde/La Bota Zones (1000 meters of strike and open)

Structure #4 (100 meters of strike and open)

Bonanza Zone (200 meters of strike and open)

Mapping and sampling of the newly discovered Bonanza tunnel, indicates that only a small section of the main massive hematite structure remains available for sampling. The workings have collapsed beyond this point. These workings appear to be about 30 meters below the surface Bonanza samples, referred to above. Two panel samples (approximately 45 kg each) of the previously mined mineralized structure, assayed:

Bonanza Zone (underground)

Panel samples of the footwall shear zone and hanging wall breccia flanking the Bonanza main structure, assayed:

Width of these zones is unknown, since previous mining only extracted the main mineralized hematite structure.

Tompiate zone results were previously reported in the Company’s News Release dated October 11th, 2012.

Old workings have been discovered approximately 800 meters to the west of the La Bota Zone. A grab sample from dumps assayed, 0.26 g/t gold; 174 g/t silver and 1.92% copper. The Phase 1 drill hole plan is being finalized, with field work expected to commence in March.

Vancouver, B.C. – January 15, 2013: San Marco Resources Inc. (SMN: TSX-V) has received the preliminary results of a petrographic study completed on a large 1 meter x 2.5 meter panel sample taken from the old Tompiate underground workings (100 meters below surface) on the Angeles property in Sonora State, Mexico.

As reported in News Release dated November 27th, 2012, a channel sample was taken across a 1 meter wide massive hematite structure in the old underground workings and assay results were:

• 5.92 g/t gold; 59.0 g/t silver; 1.34% copper and 5.43% combined lead/zinc

The panel sample, taken from the same location as the above channel sample, was sent to Laboratorio Technologico Metalurgico, a private lab in Hermosillo, Mexico, and was prepared for initial petrographic studies. The primary purpose of this study was to try to identify minerals of economic interest, since only copper, lead and zinc oxide minerals are recognizable in hand samples from underground or on surface. A representative cut of this sample was sent to ALS Chemex for assaying and results are:

• 11.20 g/t gold; 54.8 g/t silver; 1.98% copper and 4.21% combined lead/zinc

Early mineralogical results indicate native gold exists as very fine particles (free and associated with tiny quartz crystals), also copper (chalcopyrite and copper oxides chrysocolla and malachite), lead (galena and Pb oxide wulfenite) and zinc (sphalerite and Zn oxide smithsonite).

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Robert Willis noted: “We find it very interesting to recognize relative higher grades in larger samples. Even though the gold appears to be very fine, a larger sample size may be more representative of in situ metal values.”

The Company’s geologists have discovered a second adit that appears to access the Angeles structure, which is sub-parallel to, and approximately 50 meters south of the Tompiate structure. Sampling of the mineralized structure and footwall breccia is complete and assay results are expected to be reported within 2 weeks. Mineralization appears to be very similar to that observed in the Tompiate underground workings, as well as surface exposures.

Sampling of several addition structures elsewhere on the property is complete, assays are pending.

Of particular interest is an area of highly oxidized hematitic schists approximately 50 meters in width, located between the Tompiate and the Angeles structures. Initial sampling indicates gold grades in the range of 0.3 – 0.8 g/t. Further surface exploration, as well as Phase I drilling, will test these zones.
