Marketwired Canada
Avala Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:AVZ) (the "Company" or "Avala") is pleased to
present drill results from the Korkan infill drilling program, part of the Timok
Gold Project.
1. HIGHLIGHTS
Korkan Infill Drilling Program
-- The 40 metre by 40 metre infill drilling program at Korkan has been
completed and a validated database has been delivered to independent
mining consultants AMC Consultants Limited (UK) ("AMC") in order to
produce an updated NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate.
-- Very encouraging gold intercepts (0.4 g/t Au cut-off grade) have been
returned from the infill drilling program, typically characterised by
multiple gold mineralized intersections per hole.

-- Note: Intersections calculated using 5 meter minimum thickness, 5 meter
maximum included waste.
-- Note: Minor intercepts in KORC208 omitted for clarity. Refer to Table 1
for full intersection listing.
2. INFILL DRILLING AT KORKAN
-- Avala commenced infill drilling at Korkan in August 2012 and the program
was completed in October, for a total of 20,889.7 meters (20,323 meters
of reverse circulation drilling and 566.7 meters of diamond drilling).
-- A total of 134 RC drill holes, for 20,323 meters, have been completed in
the infill drilling program, to provide a notional 40m by 40m drill
collar spacing. The average hole depth is 152 meters and the calculated
drill recovery is 90%.
-- In addition, one diamond drill hole was also completed during the infill
drilling program and a 92% core recovery was recorded.
-- Refer to Table 1 for a summary of the Korkan infill drill program
intersections at a 0.4g/t Au cut-off grade. Figure 1 shows a gram-meter
total metal contour plot (intervals greater than 0.4g/t Au x thickness),
of all Korkan drilling to date, superimposed on topographic contours.
Drill collars for holes reported in this release are highlighted in red
in Figure 1. Figure 2 displays the gram-meter total metal contour plot
for the Korkan resource area.
-- Multiple gold mineralized intercepts per hole are a common feature of
the gold mineralization outlined to date in the Bigar Hill, Korkan and
Kraku Pester target areas.
3. CANADIAN NATIONAL INSTRUMENT 43-101 COMPLIANT RESOURCE ESTIMATION
-- Following full internal validation, the updated Korkan exploration
database has been delivered to AMC in order to undertake an independent
resource estimation update.
-- It is planned to complete the updated Canadian National Instrument 43-
101 compliant resource estimate on Korkan during Q2, 2013.
-- All drill holes have been down-hole surveyed at regular intervals; with
drill collars surveyed using DGPS or total station surveying methods.
The topographic surface is based on detailed DGPS and total station
surveying methods, with an average survey station spacing of
approximately 15 meters by 15 meters.
-- As per standard Avala data acquisition protocols, a full set of field
duplicates, lab duplicates and replicates, blanks and internationally
accredited assay standards have been routinely collected and inserted
into the sample sequence.
-- All drill hole assaying and bulk density measurements have been carried
out independently by SGS.
4. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
-- Figure 3 shows the location of the Korkan deposit within the greater
sediment-hosted gold belt, as defined in this image by mapped 'target
stratigraphy'. Figure 3 also shows anomalous gold soil geochemistry, on
which the total metal contour plots, based on drill intersections, are
superimposed

5. SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS
The Company has established a fully equipped, 'state of the art' laboratory
facility at Bor, Eastern Serbia which is independently managed by SGS. Diamond
drill core and RC samples have been prepared and assayed at the SGS-managed
laboratory facility at Bor. A one metre sampling interval has been used where
possible for the Sediment-Hosted Gold project diamond drilling program. Half
core is routinely submitted to the laboratory for analysis. Reverse circulation
drill samples, collected using a routine one meter sampling interval, have been
prepared and assayed at the laboratory facility at Bor. Following Avala standard
quality assurance procedures, a full suite of field and laboratory duplicates
and replicates along with internationally accredited standards and blanks, have
been submitted with each batch of samples.
All data collected in the field was routinely entered into geology and
structural geology spread sheets using Field Marshal software for subsequent
entry to an acQuire database and validation.
Dr Julian F. H. Barnes, a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101, a
Director and the Company's Special Consultant, has supervised the preparation of
the technical data in this press release.
