Pershimco Confirms Third Significant Copper-Gold System with 73 m @ 1.8 % Cu and 145 m @ 0.91% Cu

Pershimco Resources Inc. (the "Company" or "Pershimco") (TSX
VENTURE:PRO)(FRANKFURT:BIZ) is pleased to announce that the results of its
recent exploration drilling on the Idaida target have confirmed a new
copper-gold system. Importantly, this newly revealed system shows both near
surface and deeper mineralized feeder structures analogous to the Company's two
main targets, La Pava and Quema Deposits, the latter of whose center is located
1.3 km north-west of Idaida.

Notes:
1. Drill hole numbers with prefix "PRH" are Reverse Circulation (RC) drill
holes.
2. Drill hole numbers with prefix "PDH" are Diamond drill holes.
3. Drill intersections tabulated under "Intercept" are reported as drilled
thicknesses. These intercepts are apparent widths only.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE IDAIDA DRILLING
-- Extends high-sulphidation alteration and mineralization to depth;
-- Intercepted an oxide gold zone and an underlying sulphide copper-gold
zone;
-- Intercepted new high-sulphidation "feeder" zones at depth;
-- Both upper and lower 'feeder" zones flank and dip towards the modeled
airborne and ground IP geophysical targets.
Dual Reverse Circulation/Diamond drill holes (RC/DH), PRH13316/PDH135316 ('316')
and PRH13317/PDH135317 ('317') are the deepest to date on the Cerro Quema
project, and provide important information on the mineralization and alteration
system at Idaida as well as other exploration targets within the concession.
Both drill holes ('316 & 317') intercepted sulphides commencing at 85 and 50
meters downhole respectively and both continued to show sulphides and alteration
to their final depths. Intercepted "feeder" zone mineralization within both the
upper and lower levels show similar intense alteration (acid leach - advanced
argillic) and moderate to strong sulphide mineralization.
Of particular significance, the lower feeder structure intercepted by drill hole
'317' which returned 58m @ 0.38%Cu was enveloped within a broader intercept of
95m @ 0.25%Cu. This intercept showed elevated sulphides (greater than 6%) and
hosted within an advanced argillic alteration zone containing pyrophyllite. The
dominance of the advance argillic mineral pyrophyllite indicates a higher
temperature setting typically found within the 'root zones' of high sulphidation
systems.
These "feeder" structures are on the margins of and dip towards the airborne
VTEM and ground IP chargeability geophysical anomalies.
Figure 1 below shows the drill hole location plan as well as the location of the
IP Chargeability target. Furthermore, a short video demonstrating the location,
size and geometry of the Idaida project's IP chargeability anomaly is accessible

During the first half of 2013, Pershimco completed important exploration
activities on two new targets outside of the La Pava and Quema-Quemita deposits.
This work included:
-- Idaida and Pelona were drill tested, returning significant copper and
gold intercepts;
-- 7,195 meters of drilling (RC and diamond) completed;
-- 112.5 Line Kilometers of IP geophysics completed; and,
-- Commenced regional mapping and geochemical sampling program on
additional exploration targets identified by previous airborne
geophysics.
"The Idaida drilling results are extremely exciting in terms of the significant
grades and thicknesses of copper and gold mineralization intersected near
surface as well as the discovery of additional feeder structures at depth. The
exploration geophysics and geological modeling undertaken by the Pershimco Team
is proving to be successful as more targets are being strategically identified
and developed. As we have noted previously, this deliberate multi-staged
approach continues to prove to be invaluable in building on the success our
project," said Alain Bureau, President and CEO of Pershimco.
