GNT Gentor Resources Inc

Gentor Resources Inc. ("Gentor" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:GNT) has outlined
a significant metasediment-hosted VMS system in forested terrain near Karaburun
about 17 kilometres north-west of Boyabat in the Sinop District of the Central
Pontide Region in northern Turkey (Figure 1). The Karaburun gossans lie in the
same stratigraphy as the long-life Kure Copper Mine and a newly discovered large
copper resource at Honanu owned by Asya Mining, which lies 20 kilometres to the
north-west.

The discovery was made during systematic regional mapping initiated by Gentor
along strike and in the same Bekirli Formation rocks as the Kure Mine and Honanu
VMS deposits. The VMS gossan lies in and adjacent to one of Gentor's joint
venture properties (see the Company's press release dated October 7, 2013).


President and CEO of Gentor, Dr. Peter Ruxton, said, "We are very excited about
the discovery of the Karaburun VMS gossans - their size and thickness suggests
potential for a significant VMS deposit along strike from the operating Kure
Copper Mine and recently drilled Honanu copper deposit. Having secured the
down-dip extent of the surface gossan, Gentor is keen to drill Karaburun as soon
as possible after the winter snows thaw in April-May 2014."


Karaburun Gossan

The gossans extend east-west over a strike length of 2.5 kilometres within a
dominant greenschist volcaniclastic sequence over a stratigraphic thickness of
at least 200 metres. While most of the gossans crop out in an area adjacent to
the Gentor joint venture ground (see Figure 2 below, which shows Gossans No 1 &
2 on the Gentor joint venture ground), they all lie within 150 metres of the
Gentor joint venture ground boundary and, importantly, dip 20 to 35 degrees to
the south into the Gentor joint venture ground.


The Main part of the system exhibits heavily leached ironstone gossan up to 75
metres thick over a strike length of 600 metres and includes exposed massive
sulphides and siliceous pyritic volcaniclastics over 300 metres at creek level
in rugged terrain. Minor ancient workings for ironstone have exposed copper
silicates in pyritic massive sulphides within the Main Zone.

Initial rock geochemical results at Karaburun have defined extensive Cu-Zn-Ag-Au
and Co anomalism coincident with stacked stratigraphic mineralised gossan
horizons dipping gently south into and within Gentor's joint venture tenement
(as shown in Figure 2). Rock chip results from predominately highly weathered
gossan material yield up to 0.5% copper and up to 1.6g/t gold. These analyses
were completed using XRF techniques at ALS Laboratories in Ankara, Turkey and
applying normal laboratory verification procedures.


Summary

Given the impressive size of the exposed system and its multiple stratabound
lenticular nature - that is characteristic of Besshi style deposits worldwide -
Gentor believes that the Karaburun VMS represents a significantly mineralised
system.


An initial 2,100 metre diamond drilling program is planned for the first half of
2014, following the current winter season and after forestry permit approvals,
and subject to funding.


Gentor has established good working relations with its Turkish partners to
promote local community acceptance and support for detailed exploration of the
prospective sequence regionally as well as at Karaburun. Gentor believes that it
is likely that further mineralised positions will be found in this previously
poorly-explored Ophiolite melange terrain in the Kastamonu Region.
