ROUYN-NORANDA, CANADA–(Sept. 6, 2016) – Explor Resources Inc. (“Explor” or “the Corporation”) (TSX VENTURE:EXS) (OTCQX:EXSFF) (FRANKFURT:E1H1) (BERLIN:E1H1) is pleased to announce the acquisition of 100 mineral claims located in the Duparquet, Destor, Hébécourt and Dufresnoy Townships, in the Rouyn-Noranda Mining Division, Province of Quebec representing a total of 4,172.82 hectares. These claims are contiguous to the East Bay Property. Explor will pay $16,000 and issue 200,000 shares to acquire a 100% interest in the additional East Bay claims.

This acquisition is in line with the Corporation’s strategy of increasing its property along the Porcupine Destor Fault Zone (PDFZ), where several notable gold deposits have been found in the past, including the Timmins mining camp which produced more than 65 million oz of gold. The Corporation now owns 10,240.70 hectares of land along this section of the PDFZ. The East Bay Gold Property is located to the west and north of the Consolidated Beattie and Donchester Gold Property and contiguous to the ground on which Clifton Star Resources Inc. during their exploration program intersected wide width of gold mineralization (Press Releases dated June 19 and June 6, 2013). Explor Resources is currently the largest holder of Exploration Property in Duparquet.

Geological Context & Mineralization

The mineralization on the East Bay Gold property is similar to the Beattie Island within Duparquet Lake and is hosted within the Destor Theolitic Unit of the Blake River Group. Mineralization is associated with interflow volcanic sediments between andesite flows and dioritic sills. The alteration consists of silicification, carbonization and considerable sulphide enrichment.
