Homestake Ridge Project Update 

Camp mobilization continues toward the start of the 2014 Exploration Program on
the Company's 100% owned Homestake Ridge property in Northwestern BC. The
program is expected to include +7,500 meters of core drilling and is budgeted at
a cost of $3 million. Camp construction is nearly complete and drilling is
expected to commence in early July. 


Agnico Eagle Mines Limited ("Agnico Eagle") can earn up to 65% interest in the
project with staged expenditures of $25.3 million at the Homestake Ridge
Property. Agnico Eagle is in the third year of the six year option having spent
approximately $4.3 million to date. 


Drilling will start on a newly discovered mineralized zone called the Slide
target, first identified in 2013 and located southeast of the Homestake Silver
deposit (see news release NR-10-13, November 25, 2013). Agnico Eagle plans an
initial six drill holes on the Slide target (see Figure 1) which will test areas
along strike and down dip of hole HR13-253, which as reported in NR-10-13
contains a 18.6 metre interval averaging 101g/t silver, including a 0.5 metre
interval averaging 1,675g/t silver from 364.4 to 383.0 metres down hole (the
true thickness has not been determined yet).

Further drilling is also anticipated on several other targets throughout the
property including up to two holes to test "Eskay-equivalent" stratigraphy in
the upper Hazelton Group exposed to the east and south of the Homestake Silver
deposit. 


Kinskuch Project Update 

At the Kinskuch property this season, the Company is planning to drill three or
four holes at the Illiance River target in order to extend high-grade silver and
base metal mineralization encountered on surface and in drilling by the Company
during the 2011 field season. Field work also is planned to develop sites for
drill tests of several other targets. The 100% optioned Kinskuch Property
(62,500ha) lies south of, and partially contiguous with, the Homestake Ridge
property. 


About Homestake Resource Corporation 

Homestake owns a 100 percent interest in the Homestake Ridge project, located in
the Kitsault Mineral district in northwestern British Columbia, subject to
various royalty interests held by vendors. The project is being advanced as a
potential high-grade underground mining operation. At an $85 NSR cut-off value
and based on drilling completed through 2012, the project contains an estimated
Indicated Resource of 124,000oz gold and 939,000oz silver (141,000oz AuEq @
7.3g/t AuEq grade) plus an Inferred Resource of 911,000oz gold and 20,366,000oz
silver (1,225,785oz AuEq @ 5.6g/t AuEq grade) in three deposits(1). Visit the
Company website to read how the Homestake Ridge resource estimate compares to
gold deposits worldwide, as ranked by Natural Resource Holdings (June 2012). 


To date, 262 holes were drilled for a total of 74,973 metres, and multiple
exploration targets remain to be tested on the large 3,617-hectare property.
Agnico Eagle Mines Limited has assumed project management since January 2013
under the option agreement to fund exploration and development costs on the
property.




1.  The current estimate was prepared by Roscoe Postle Associates Inc.
    (RPA). Mineral Resources utilize three separate block models constrained
    by 3D wireframes of the mineralized zones. Mineral Resources were
    constrained using a 2g/t AuEq grade shell and CIM definitions were
    followed for Mineral Resources. The block models are comprised of an
    array of blocks measuring 5 m x 5 m x 5 m, with grades for Au, Ag, Cu,
    AuEq and NSR values interpolated using ID3 weighting. The models
    identified an indicated resource of 604,000 tonnes averaging 6.4g/t Au,
    48.3g/t Ag and 0.18% Cu and a cumulative inferred resource of 6,765,000
    tonnes averaging 4.2g/t Au, 93.6g/t Ag, 0.11% Cu. Mineral Resources are
    estimated using an average long-term gold price of US$1,500 per ounce
    Au, US$27 per ounce Ag, and US$3.50 per pound Cu, with an exchange rate
    of C$1.00=US$1.00. NSR and Gold equivalence were calculated using Au, Ag
    and Cu metallurgical recoveries of 92% Au, 88% Ag and 88% Cu in blocks
    where Cu%greater than 0.1%; and where calculated using just Au and Ag
    recoveries in blocks with less than 0.1% Cu.
