Mr. George Salamis, President and CEO of Edgewater Exploration Ltd. ("Edgewater"
or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:EDW) (OTCQX:EDWZF) is pleased to announce that
the NI 43-101 Technical Report titled "NI 43-101 Technical Report Mineral
Resource Estimate for the Corcoesto Gold Project Galicia Region, Spain" dated
September 20th, 2013 has now been filed on Sedar. The Technical Report was
prepared by Micon International Limited of Toronto, Canada, in conjunction with
the Company.
Highlights of the Updated Measured and Indicated 2013 Resource include;
1. Measured and Indicated resources have increased to over one million
ounces providing a significantly greater confidence in the deposit.
Using a 0.5g/t Au cut-off the pit constrained Measured and Indicated
resource is 24.2 Mt grading 1.32g/t Au, containing 1,027,000 ounces of
gold.
2. The Corcoesto resource holds together well at higher cut-off grades
providing an opportunity to potentially mine higher grades during the
initial years of operation. Using a 0.8g/t Au cut-off the pit
constrained Measured and Indicated resource is 16.2 Mt grading 1.65g/t
Au, containing 863,000 ounces of gold.
3. All zones remain open for expansion through further exploration.

Notes:
1. Mineral resources were classified following the guidelines of the JORC
Code (2012) an accepted reporting code in terms of Canadian National
Instrument 43-101.
2. Mineral resources are constrained within a Whittle pit shell based on a
gold price of US$1,400/oz.
3. Numbers may not compute due to rounding.
4. All grades have been quoted in grams per tonne (g/t) for the resource
inventory.
5. Density values were assigned in relation to an oxide surface; no further
distinction between fresh and oxide material has been made within this
resource estimate.
6. There are no known legal, political, environmental or other risks that
could materially affect the potential development of these mineral
resources
7. The quantity and grade of reported inferred resources in this estimation
are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to
define these inferred resources as an indicated or measured mineral
resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in
upgrading them.
8. Mineral Resources that are not mineral reserves do not have economic
viability.
9. The Corcoesto Resource Estimate was prepared by Jason Che Osmond, M.Sc.,
EurGeol., C.Geol., FGS, Senior Geologist, Micon International Co.
Limited, and a Qualified Person ("QP") as defined by National Instrument
43-101.
10. The updated resource estimate is detailed in "NI 43-101 Technical Report
Mineral Resource Estimate for the Corcoesto Gold Project Galicia Region,
Spain" with a report date of September 20th, 2013 by Jason Che Osmond,
M.Sc., EurGeol., C.Geol and Joseph M. Keane, P.E..

About Edgewater Exploration Ltd.
Edgewater is a mineral development and exploration company focused on the
advancement and development of precious metal properties. Edgewater has an
experienced mine building and operating team with a track record of success. The
Company is currently developing the Corcoesto Gold Project in northwest Spain,
and exploring the Enchi Gold Project in Ghana, West Africa.
In Spain, Edgewater owns a 100% interest in the Corcoesto Gold Project which has
an approved Environmental Impact Statement (see news release January 2013) and
completed a Preliminary Economic Assessment (see news release November 2011)
demonstrating positive economics on the Corcoesto Gold Project. The Company is
currently nearing the completion of a feasibility study for the Corcoesto Gold
Project in northwest Spain.
In Ghana, the Company's Enchi Gold Project (51/49 JV with Kinross) is host to an
Inferred Resource of 749,000 ounces of gold (20,627 million tonnes at an average
grade of 1.13 g/t gold), using a cut-off of 0.7 g/t gold. The Enchi Resource
Estimate dated July 12, 2012 was prepared by Todd McCracken, P.Geo. of Tetra
Tech., who is independent of Edgewater and a Qualified Person ("QP") as defined
by National Instrument 43-101. CIM definition standards were followed for the
resource estimate. The 2012 resource models used ordinary kriging (OK) grade
estimation within a three-dimensional block model with mineralized zones defined
by wireframed solids. A capping of gold grades at 18 g/t and a density of 2.45
g/cm3 was applied. Mineral Resources that are not mineral reserves do not have
economic viability.
