PAPUAN PRECIOUS METALS CORP (TSX VENTURE:PAU)(OTCQX:PAUFF) ("PPM or the "Company") announces partial results from the uppermost 79m and selected mineralized intervals in drill hole URD002 at the Urua Creek prospect, Mt Suckling project. Drill hole URD002 (collar location: 699284mE, 890612mN; azimuth: 000 degrees; dip: 60 degrees) successfully tested both gold and copper soil anomalies and long intervals of gold and copper trench values in Trenches 1 and 2, Line 10 of the Urua Creek grid. This drill hole is the first to intersect the Urua Creek diatreme breccia, as part of a three hole drill program designed to test a significant chargeability anomaly identified by a 3D-Induced Polarization ground geophysical survey completed last fall. The chargeability anomaly is found within the 1700m x 900m breccia, which hosts the gold and copper mineralization (see PPM news release dated September 28, 2011).

Results received to date from Discovery HoleURD002 are summarized in the following table:

Additional results will be reported when they become available. Samples were sent to Genalysis Laboratory in Lae, PNG, for sample preparation prior to pulps being sent to Townsville, Australia for analysis. Gold analyses were completed by standard 25g lead collection Fire Assay followed by Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry. Copper analyses involved multi-acid digest including hydrofluoric, nitric, perchloric and hydrochloric acids in Teflon tubes. Analyses were completed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical (Atomic) Emission Spectrometry. High-grade gold and copper samples were repeat assayed for ore grade.
