Falco Pacific Signs LOI-Expands Holdings in the Western Camp

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire - Dec. 19, 2012) - Falco Pacific Resource Group Inc. ("Falco Pacific" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:FPC) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a letter of intent (the "LOI") with Vior Inc. ("Vior") (TSX VENTURE:VIO) (FRANKFURT:VL5) to acquire 100% of the 22 claim (800 hectare) Beauchastel Gold property (the "Beauchastel Property") located in the Flavrian gold district which forms part of the West Rouyn-Noranda Camp ("Western Camp").


Beauchastel Property

The Beauchastel Property is partially surrounded by Falco Pacific's Flavrian, Four Corners and Montbray South properties. Several gold bearing structures transect the Flavrian area, the two most important being the Quesabe fault and Twin Lakes fault. The northeast-trending Quesabe Fault hosts Falco Pacific's former producing Quesabe gold mine located 2.5 km to the northeast of Beauchastel. Historic production at the Quesabe mine is reported to have been 109 Kt @ 10.64 g/t1 gold with remaining inventories reported as a historical resource of 450Kt @ 7.0 g/t Au (100K oz)2. No assessment of the potential for profitable extraction of the above tonnages has been made. Future programs under consideration will focus on validating and expanding the tonnage base identified. In addition to Quesabe, the former producing Silidor (2.9Mt @ 5.1 g/t gold - historic production)3 and Beauchemin (1.85Mt @ 5.31 g/t gold - historic production)4 gold mines are located on adjacent properties within the same structural domain. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify any of the historical estimates as current mineral resources. The Company is not treating the historical estimates as current mineral resources.


Terms

Under the terms of the LOI, Falco Pacific will pay Vior $75,000 and issue 150,000 common shares of Falco Pacific, subject to a pooling agreement, on closing of the transaction. An additional $25,000 is due in 6 months from closing. Vior will retain a minimum NSR of 1% and maximum of 2% on the various claims, with Falco Pacific having the right to buy back up to 1% of the NSR for $1 million, subject to Vior maintaining a minimum 1%. The transaction is subject to negotiation and completion of a definitive agreement with Vior and approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.


On-Going Data Review

The execution of the LOI is a result of an on-going data review process focused on deriving drill ready opportunities from the enormous data package acquired by Falco Pacific as part of the Rouyn-Noranda Project. An initial review of the Flavrian area, indicates strong similarities to the area surrounding Queenston Mining Inc.'s ("Queenston") Upper Beaver copper-gold deposit, which is located 40 km southwest within the same rock package. Osisko Mining Corporation recently entered into an agreement to acquire Queenston for approximately $550 million pending shareholder approvals. The Flavrian area has historically been subjected to only shallow exploration and as indicated above has produced several high-grade gold deposits. In fact 9 of the 12 former producing mines in the Western Camp were precious metal producers with the Quesabe mine now held by Falco Pacific.

Falco Pacific's President and CEO Kelly Klatik said "We are pleased to see a number of promising targets emerging from our evaluation of the Western Camp area where our initial focus will be on high-grade gold opportunities at shallow depths."
