HUDSON RESOURCES INC. (the "Company") - (TSX VENTURE:HUD)(OTCQX:HUDRF) is
pleased to announce that the Company has successfully produced alumina (aluminum
oxide) from initial bench-scale testing on the calcium feldspar anorthosite from
its White Mountain Project. The objective of the testwork, which has been
undertaken at SGS Lakefield under the supervision of Hudson's consulting
metallurgist, Dr. John Goode, P. Eng., is to produce smelter grade alumina
(SGA). A presentation summarizing the technical results has been posted to
Hudson's website at www.hudsonresources.ca/files/Sept-2013-Alumina.pdf.


As announced in January 2013 (NR-2013-02), testwork using hydrochloric acid
(HCl) leaching demonstrated the high solubility of the anorthosite material at
normal atmospheric pressure and relatively low temperatures of 100 degree
Celsius. Alumina recoveries from the latest four tests ranged from 95% to 98%.
The process also generates an amorphous silica by-product which has applications
in the Portland cement industry. Little to no waste material is produced from
the process. Following the success of the small scale tests, larger scale tests
have now been initiated at SGS to produce sufficient alumina for analysis by
potential end users in the aluminum industry.


James Tuer, Hudson's President, stated, "We are very excited with these results
and believe we are well on our way to producing a marketable smelter grade
alumina. The high solubility of our White Mountain Anorthosite, which is unique
to high calcium feldspars, eliminates the need for an expensive high temperature
and high pressure leaching process. We have utilized and improved upon existing,
unpatented aluminum chloride production processes and we do not require any new
technologies to produce a high quality product."


Additional test work has commenced in order to:



1.  Reproduce the results with larger sample batches; 
2.  Perform additional SGA analyses to analyze the physical properties of
    the alumina; 
3.  Provide sufficient samples for the aluminum producers to test efficacy
    of the alumina in the production of aluminum; 
4.  Finalize the flowsheet in order to determine the preliminary economics
    to produce the alumina. 



Currently, the world supply of alumina comes from bauxite deposits located in
the Southern Hemisphere which produce a significant amount of red mud waste
material. Hudson's White Mountain project is strategically located close to
aluminum smelters in Eastern Canada, Iceland and Europe. Alcoa has submitted an
application to the Government of Greenland to build an aluminum smelter
approximately 80 km from Hudson's White Mountain project.


The White Mountain Anorthosite project is 100% owned by Hudson. The project has
three potential high-value applications which are being investigated, as
follows:




1.  A new source of feedstock to the high end fiberglass (E-glass) industry;
2.  A new source of alumina to supply aluminum smelters; 
3.  A new source of filler material. Fillers are a significant component of
    the plastics, paints and paper industries. 



The company is rapidly advancing the E-Glass project with several Letters of
Intent in place, a bulk sample test taking place later this year, and a
technical study near completion. 


Hudson remains well financed with approximately $4 million in working capital.
