RUP Rupert Resources Ltd

Rupert Resources Ltd. ("Rupert" or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE:RUP) announces
the commencement of the 2013 Summer exploration program consisting of geological
and geophysical surveys on its Gold Centre Property (the "Property") in the
prolific Red Lake gold camp. The property is located adjacent to the producing
Red Lake Mine of Goldcorp. 


The intention of this program is to obtain a better geological understanding of
the property by integrating newly acquired information from the current
exploration program as well as historical geological data compilations
illustrating gold bearing structures. The current exploration program is
intended to identify priority drill targets of economic potential based on the
results of both historic and newly obtained information. 


The current exploration program consists of both 3D and 2D induced polarization
("IP") and ground magnetic surveys in conjunction with geological mapping and
lithogeochemical sampling work. The 3D survey will be conducted with Abitibi
Geophysic's IPower3D system which is a true 3D array resistivity/IP
topographical imaging survey of the deeper targets. The system uses a
high-sensitivity array and is coupled with a high density sampling technique
resulting in potentially penetrating greater depth of investigation and
excellent spatial resolution. This IPower3D system will be utilized for imaging
of the Balmer Volcanics in the northern portion of the property. The 2D
dipole-dipole IP and ground magnetic surveys will be conducted in the
southeastern part of the property where a historic dill hole intersected
anomalous gold mineralization at relatively shallower depth within the younger
Confederation Lake assemblage. 


Previous drilling has interpreted the extension of the Cochenour-Dickenson
Deformation Zone to intersect the southeast part of the property. Further work
may include geophysical surveys of historical drill holes on the property using
modern technology that was previously unavailable, as well as re-logging of
existing drill core.


About the Gold Centre Property

The Gold Centre property is located adjacent to the eastern boundary of Goldcorp
Inc.'s producing Red Lake Mine in Northwestern Ontario. It is located
approximately 9.5 km east-northeast of the Town of Red Lake in the Balmer
Township. The property (CLM 165) is comprised of 16 claims, totalling 625.33
acres, was renewed as Lease No. 106899 on December 1, 1994 and is valid for 21
years. Rupert owns a 100% interest in the lease, subject to a 1.5% Net Smelter
Return reserved to Camp McMan Red Lake Gold Mines Limited.


Geologically, the property is located within the economically important Balmer
mafic metavolcanic and Huston metasedimentary (coarse to fine clastics)
assemblages of the Red Lake greenstone belt. Mafic metavolcanic rocks exposed at
the northern edge of the property are believed to represent the Balmer
assemblage, host rock for the mineralization at the adjacent Goldcorp's Red Lake
Mine. The Balmer assemblage, more specifically the Balmer mafic metavolcanic
rock, is the primary target of the current geophysical IP and geological surface
work programs. The central part of the property is underlain by mainly clastic
metasedimentary rocks of the Huston assemblage disconformably which overly the
Balmer assemblage. Historical drilling within the central property area, on
strike to Red Lake Mine deposit trends, has intersected the favourable Balmer
mafic metavolcanic rock at depth. The southern part of the property is underlain
by intermediate to felsic metavolcanic rocks of younger Confederation
assemblage.


Sulphide mineralization has been observed in the overlying sedimentary rocks and
semi-massive to narrow intervals of massive pyrrhotite have also been observed
in the quartz-pebble conglomerates on the Property. In addition, anomalous gold
values hosted by quartz veins in the favourable Blamer mafic metvolcanics have
been intersected in the deep drilling.
