JORC Resources at High Grade Regua Tungsten Deposit Increase 30%

W Resources Plc (AIM:WRES), formerly Caspian Holdings Plc, is pleased to announce a 30% resource increase at its 100% owned Régua tungsten deposit in Northern Portugal. As a result of the resource estimate prepared by Golder Associates Pty Ltd ("Golder") the updated and increased Australasian Joint Ore Reserves Committee ("JORC") compliant resource estimate defines 4.46 million tonnes grading 0.308% WO3 (tungsten tri-oxide) at a cut-off of 0.10% WO3.

The resource estimate was prepared by Golder and the detailed resource statement is available at www.wresources.co.uk. The resource is based on the results of the diamond drilling of 34 holes for a total of 5,514.45 metres, all of which intersected scheelite mineralisation.

The Régua resource of 4.46 million tonnes containing 1.37M mtu WO3 compares favourably with the Colt Resources (TSX-V; GTP Market Cap Cdn$56m) Tabuaço deposit located 10km to the west which contains 2.09 million tonnes of indicated and inferred resources containing 1.2M mtu WO3.

Michael Masterman, Chairman of W Resources commented: "We are extremely encouraged by the resource increase and based on the positive assessment and the high grade of the tungsten, the Company intends to drill an additional 2,000 metres of diamond core in the Régua deposit with the objective of increasing the confidence in the resource to measured and indicated resources and extending the deposit. The deposit is open laterally and at depth and Golder and W Resources will now proceed to evaluate mine development scenarios with a view to submitting a Trial Mine Application for initial development of the project in 2013."
