Citation Announces Priority Drill Targets at Biricu Project

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/30/13 -- Citation Resources Inc. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: CTT) is pleased to announce that four priority drill target areas have been defined and a 7,000 meter drill program has been designed for the Biricu Gold Project located in Mexico's prolific Guerrero Gold Belt (GGB).

The four target areas identified have been outlined based on an integration of geologic, geochemical and geophysical data collected during field exploration programs conducted during 2012. The Company has received the final detailed interpretation prepared by Condor Consulting Inc., recognized experts in the field of airborne electromagnetics, of the results of the airborne versatile time-domain electromagnetic ("VTEM") survey completed by Geotech Ltd. (news release December 5, 2012). A subsequent 5-day geologic field review of the target zones identified in Condor's interpretation report was completed in late December 2012 under the supervision of the Company's consulting geologist, David M. Jones. The field review involved the consideration of all geologic, geochemical and geophysical data gathered to date in evaluating the VTEM survey results and finalizing a first round exploration drill program.

Matthew Watson, Chairman of Citation commented, "Preliminary field work, consisting of reconnaissance mapping and geochemical sampling is completed in most of the highest priority areas of the property. We have received very encouraging EM results from the survey which, combined with the equally encouraging ground activities and geochemical sampling, have enabled Citation to identify a number of priority drill targets. The target areas each show strong similarities in geologic setting, alteration, and geochemical patterns to those of the numerous gold skarn deposits of the Guerrero Gold Belt. We are excited to now be planning the next phase of our exploration activities on the Biricu Project that will involve drill testing of the target areas identified to date."
