Curis Resources Ltd. to list on the Toronto Stock Exchange

VANCOUVER, April 11 /CNW/ - Curis Resources Ltd. ("Curis") announces that it has received conditional approval to list the Company's common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX").

Commented President & CEO Michael McPhie, "The management and directors of Curis are pleased to have advanced Curis toward a listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange. This will increase the exposure of the Company to a broader investment market and provide greater awareness and recognition of our flagship Florence Copper Project."

"We are well positioned to achieve our corporate goals of establishing the Company and the Florence Copper Project as a near term next-generation copper producer," confirmed McPhie. "Following completion of a feasibility study and project permitting, anticipated in Q4 of this year, we are planning to drill and activate an initial in-situ copper recovery (ISCR) well-block and construct and commission a pilot scale SX-EW plant to produce 99.999% pure copper cathode at the Florence Copper Project site. We initiated the formal process to amend and update the existing operational permits for Florence earlier this year. The review and consideration of the amendment applications submitted by the Company to the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are now moving forward as anticipated."

"The Florence Copper Project represents a unique high value opportunity to bring on-line what is anticipated, based on the results of our 2010 Preliminary Economic Assessment (see news release dated November 25, 2010), to be one of the lowest cost pure copper producers in a stable jurisdiction in the world at a time when copper markets continue to strengthen," said McPhie. "Curis has achieved many important milestones since becoming a public company in late 2010. The advancement of the company to a listing on the TSX represents another key step in the building and development of Curis into well recognized near-term copper producer."
