COEUR D'ALENE, IDAHO--(Marketwired - Nov 25, 2014) - Timberline Resources Corporation (NYSE MKT:TLR)(TSX VENTURE:TBR) ("Timberline" or the "Company") today announced that it has received a letter from the NYSE MKT (the "Exchange") advising the Company that Timberline has regained compliance with the NYSE MKT continued listing standards. Specifically, the Company has regained compliance with respect to Sections 1003(a)(iv) and 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE MKT Company Guide referenced in letters from the Exchange dated February 6, 2014, and May 19, 2014.

We are focused on providing positive results from exploration on our properties, and we intend to remain in compliance with the NYSE MKT continued listing standards."

The Company also announced that the Montana Department of Environmental Quality ("MDEQ") is on schedule with its work on the Final Environmental Impact Statement ("Final EIS") at the Butte Highlands Gold Project ("Butte Highlands"), where the Company and its joint venture partner are progressing toward receipt of the Final Hard Rock Operating Permit ("Final HROP").
