Concordia Resource Corp. (TSX VENTURE:CCN) ("Concordia" or "the Company") is
pleased to report positive results from reverse circulation ("RC") and core
drilling, including high-grade intercepts of up to 93.5 g/t gold in core hole
KB-DD-005, within a broad zone returning 3 g/t over 56 meters; and 86.5 g/t gold
in RC KB-RC-010 within 29 meters grading 4.0 g/t. These intercepts are the
initial results from the Company's ongoing drill program at its 100% owned
Kerboule Project in northern Burkina Faso. 


The broad zones of gold mineralization encountered in both RC and core are at
grades and thicknesses consistent with open pit mining operations in West
Africa. 


Assay results are currently available from one core hole (of seven drilled to
date) from Concordia's initial drilling program at the Kerboule North prospect
and from seven (of 70 drilled to date) RC holes. Other highlights from the RC
drilling include 5 meters at 3.6 g/t (KB-RC-002); 5 meters at 2.8 g/t
(KB-RC-003); and 5 meters at 1.7 g/t, 13 meters at 1.5 g/t and 13 meters at 0.8
g/t (KB-RC-009).

The drilling forms part of a program designed to extend the currently defined
zones of mineralization at Kerboule South, Kerboule Main and Kerboule North and
define an initial mineral resource for the overall project. To date, the Company
has received results from 8 holes out of 77 completed in the current program. 


Significant results received to date are shown below.

Concordia has now completed the initial, Phase 1 core and RC drilling program
consisting of 3,420 meters of core drilling (seven holes) and 10,398 metres of
RC drilling (70 holes). Further assay results are expected to be received during
the second quarter of 2012 and will be announced in batches. 


Edward Flood, Concordia CEO, stated, "It is obvious from our results to date
that the Kerboule Project has a number of significant gold-bearing structures.
We have outlined broad zones of shallow, relatively flat lying mineralization at
Kerboule South and with the current program we now see much higher grade
mineralization at the Kerboule North target area approximately 3 km to the
north. A number of reverse circulation holes have also been completed on newly
identified targets at Kerboule Main (2 km north of the Kerboule South area),
Kerboule North (a further 500 meters north) and Yalema (another 2 km north along
strike), these exhibit similar alteration patterns to the primary target areas."



The existence of mineralization and extensive artisanal workings at Kerboule
provides additional evidence for extensive, wide, disseminated gold
mineralization over an extended strike. It is encouraging that such mineralized
intersections are being encountered at the Kerboule North area, some three
kilometers north of Orezone Gold Corporation's ("Orezone") historic drilling
along the previously identified Kerboule South/Yalema trend. The Phase 2
program, which will include an additional 10,000 meters of RC drilling, will
follow up on anomalies identified during Phase 1 and will be designed
specifically to delineate an initial resource estimate at Kerboule. 


The exploration program has been designed to investigate the extent of
mineralization within the Birimian greenstone volcano-sedimentary sequences on
the Company's licenses, and, more specifically, extensions to the Inata shear
zone, a regional north-northeast trending structure that hosts the nearby 3.46
million ounce Inata gold deposit. It is estimated that Birimian greenstones are
host to approximately 7 million ounces of gold production per year throughout
West Africa. 


The drilling program in the Kerboule South prospect was designed specifically to
step out from holes drilled by Orezone, where historic results included 50
meters (from 0 to 50 meters depth) at 1.69 g/t Au and 46 meters (from 1 to 47
meters) at 1.73 g/t Au with an interval of 7 meters at 7.94 g/t Au. Other
significant Orezone results include:




--  0.9 g/t gold over 100m (open at depth) 
--  1.3 g/t over 52m 
--  1.0 g/t over 44m 
--  12.2 g/t over 4m 
--  8.0 g/t over 4m 



KERBOULE PROPERTY DETAILS 

The property covers 400 km2 of which approximately 80 percent has been mapped
and sampled with numerous additional targets identified for follow-up work. The
Phase 1 program of trenching, RC and core drilling confirm a favorable
north-northeast structural vein control with numerous folds and offsets with
broad zones of oxide mineralization over at least four kilometers, and similar
in style to that found at the Inata Mine (operated successfully by Avocet Mining
plc. (AIM:AVM), and lying approximately 20 km south of Kerboule). Concordia has
100% ownership of the Kerboule property, subject to a 3% NSR, which can be
reduced to 1.5% with the payment of US$1.5 million.

deposits; the possibility that future exploration, development or mining results
will not be consistent with the Company's expectations; the potential for and
effects of labour disputes or other unanticipated difficulties with or shortages
of labour or interruptions in production; actual ore mined varying from
estimates of grade, tonnage, dilution and metallurgical and other
characteristics; the inherent uncertainty of production and cost estimates and
