Drill Hole RDD-015; 89.0m grading 1.32g/t gold (incl. 58.0m grading 1.79g/t gold)
Drill Hole RDD-016; 43.0m grading 1.04g/t gold (incl. 34.0m grading 1.27g/t gold)

Vancouver, British Columbia – Velocity Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: VLC) (“Velocity” or the “Company”) announces that it has received laboratory results for five additional diamond drill holes at the Company’s advanced Rozino gold project (“Rozino” or the “Project”) (Table 1).  Highlights include drill hole RDD-015 which intersected 89.0m grading 1.32g/t gold (1.42g/t uncut*) including 58.0m grading 1.79g/t gold (1.94g/t uncut*).  Positive results continue to expand the extent of near-surface mineralization at Rozino with multiple broad intersections of high-grade mineralization. 

Results are pending for an additional 8 holes and drilling is ongoing.

* A top-cut of 40g/t was applied to a drill intersection in RDD-015.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control

The work program at Rozino was designed and is supervised by Stuart A. Mills, CGeol, the Company's Vice-President Exploration, who is responsible for all aspects of the work, including the quality control/quality assurance program.  On-site personnel at the project rigorously collect and track samples which are then security sealed and shipped to ALS Global laboratory in Romania.  Samples used for the results described herein are prepared and analyzed by fire assay using a 30-gram charge in compliance with industry standards.  Field duplicate samples, blanks and independent controlled reference material (standards) are added to every batch.  Drill intersections in this news release are calculated using a 0.2 g/t gold trigger, a minimum 0.5 g/t gold composite, and a maximum of 3 meters consecutive waste.

The Company’s portfolio of advanced gold exploration assets is currently in Bulgaria, which is a member of the European Union (2007) and an attractive destination for mining investment.  The country’s mining law was established in 1999 and updated in 2011.  Mining royalties are low and compare favourably with more established mining countries like Canada, Peru and Chile.  Bulgaria also boasts a corporate tax rate of only 10% and the country’s education system has yielded a good availability of experienced mining professionals in a favourable cost environment.  Foreign mining companies are successfully operating in Bulgaria. 

Local knowledge and experience are essential components of mining investment in a foreign jurisdiction.  Velocity Minerals has entered into a number of option agreements with Gorubso Kardzhali A.D. ("Gorubso'), an established and respected mining company in Bulgaria.  Gorubso operates the underground Chala Gold Mine (2006) and the Kardzhali Carbon In Leach (CIL) processing plant (2011), which produces gold dore.  Gorubso is the first and only company in Bulgaria to have secured a permit for cyanide-related processing of gold ores.  Velocity’s management has a long-standing relationship with Gorubso as well as significant previous experience in Bulgaria and elsewhere in the region.
