TSX- V: GRR
MINA FRANCISCO HIGH GRADE GOLD ZONE EXTENDED BY DRILLING;
RETURNS 2.4 METRES OF 12.52 G/T GOLD AND 33.6 G/T SILVER
Golden Reign Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: GRR) (the "Company") is very pleased to report results from initial
drill testing at the Mina Francisco prospect, located in the Southern District of its flagship San Albino-Murra
Gold Property (the “Property”), Nicaragua.
Mina Francisco is an underground working from the 1920’s recently rehabilitated by the Company.
Historically, very limited work was conducted there, with minimal material removed. Situated approximately
1.5 kilometres south of the San Albino Gold Deposit, it lies at the northeast end of the third of five mineralized
areas discovered by the Company by sampling and trenching programs conducted since 2011. The San Albino
Gold Deposit is the first of the five areas slated for development by the Company. The US$15.0 million gold
streaming arrangement with Marlin Gold Mining Ltd., which covers a 3.5 square kilometre area of interest
(the “Marlin AOI”), continues to progress and the parties expect the transaction will complete shortly. The
remaining four areas, all of which lie outside of the Marlin AOI, are characterized by similar mineralogy,
grades and thicknesses as those outlined at San Albino, and offer potential for future open-pit development.
In 2012, the Company systematically sampled the near-surface Mina Francisco vein which has been exposed
for 12 metres in strike length and 7 metres down-dip at a depth of only 5 metres from surface. Continuous
underground channel sampling returned an average thickness of 1.56 metres grading 13.04 g/t gold and
22.7 g/t silver (see news release September 24, 2012). Underground channel sampling highlights include:



2.0 metres of 33.35 g/t gold and 42.8 g/t silver
2.0 metres of 26.45 g/t gold and 30.7 g/t silver
2.0 metres of 23.87 g/t gold and 40.8 g/t silver
Recently, the Company drilled a vertical hole approximately 21.3 metres southwest of the Mina Francisco adit
entrance (see attached map) and intersected high grade mineralization across 2.4 metres averaging 12.52 g/t
gold and 33.6 g/t silver. Mineralization, including visible gold, was found in the quartz vein and the
surrounding schist country rock. The drill intercept approximates the true thickness of the flat lying, highly
mineralized zone and both extends and confirms continuity and grade of the zone.

Description
Mina Francisco Zone
Quartz vein
Footwall – Schist
The Mina Francisco prospect represents the northeast extension of the third of five parallel, highly mineralized
areas. This third zone, referred to as the Intermediate Area, currently has a 750 metre strike length, and is
open in both directions and at depth.
The test hole at Mina Francisco is the sixth drill hole to successfully intersect mineralization in the
Intermediate Area. The Company has previously tested the southwest end and middle of the Intermediate
Area (see news releases dated February 22, 2012 and September 11, 2013). Over 300 metres to the southwest
of Mina Francisco, at a vertical depth from surface of approximately 55 metres, drilling returned the following
true-width mineralized intersections:



INT13-01
INT13-02
INT13-03
including
2.5 metres averaging 15.69 g/t gold and 15.5 g/t silver
3.0 metres averaging 3.39 g/t gold and 10.3 g/t silver
21.3 metres averaging 7.20 g/t gold and 14.2 g/t silver
5.0 metres averaging 28.45 g/t gold and 53.7 g/t silver
Drill results to date indicate good continuity of the near surface, high grade mineralization.
Recent detailed prospecting and mapping of the Mina Francisco area over a strike length of 300 metres has
resulted in the discovery of: a second collapsed tunnel; several ventilation shafts; and, ten historical pits, some
up to 15 metres long.
The existence of these handmade historical pits strongly suggests that the mineralized zone continues to occur
very close to surface, is shallow dipping with a tendency to follow topography and extends further along strike
and down dip. Further, the pits confirm the open-pit potential of this target. Sampling of the historical pits
and float returned high grade assays of up to 59.40 g/t gold and 45.2 g/t silver. Select results from sampling
of the historical pits follow:
