Guerrero Announces Commencement Of Work Program At Cerro Azul, Guerrero, Mexico

Guerrero Exploration Inc. ("Guerrero" or the "Corporation") (TSX-V: "GEX") is pleased to announce the 2011 work program has commenced at the Cerro Azul Gold–Copper Project, located in Guerrero, Mexico. The program is intended to run over the next three months and will consist of prospect scale geological mapping, rock chip and soil sampling, hand trenching, ground geophysics and data compilation on previously identified copper and gold anomalies. The budget for the initial program will be approximately $200,000 and Riverside Resources Inc. will act as operator per the earn-in option agreement. Upon this phase of field work successfully identifying drill targets, Guerrero plans on commencing drilling operations in the next three to four months.

Property Details:

Initial mapping and sampling on the property has defined seven target areas with potential for epithermal gold and porphyry copper-type mineralisation along a structural corridor at least 20 km long and up to 10 km wide, from Las Fraguas in the northern limit of the property to Cerro Azul in the southern part. Targets identified on the property have high grade copper values in two meter channel samples taken from outcrops, these include:

·   Las Parotas with Cu of 1.38%, 1.9%, and 3.0%.

·   Loma Coyote with Cu values ranging up 2.0 % and 4.85% Cu.

·   Piedrillo-San Marcos, with samples up to 1.85% Cu.

·   San Jeronimo with samples of 1.03% and 1.70% Cu.

·   El Llano (Fortuna) with several samples returning >0.5% Cu with 3 samples returning 4.25%, 4.55%, and 12.8% Cu.

David Stadnyk, President & CEO of Guerrero Exploration Inc., stated, “The Cerro Azul property is an example of Guerrero’s philosophy to generate potential for high-grade mineralization. With the assistance of a strong experienced strategic partner to assist in field prospecting and exploration, the Cerro Azul property has the potential to contain not just a single target but a mining district with its significant land package”.

Work Program Details:

The program will focus on the Cerro Azul – Piedrillo and San Marcos – Lorna Coyote – Las Parotas target areas in the south and the Tinoco target area in the north of the property. Field activities will include:

·   Geological mapping at 1:10,000 and 1:5,000 scale

·   Alteration mapping using a TerraSpec portable Vis/NIR mineral spectrometer

·   Systematic soils and rock chip sampling of the prospect areas

·   Ground magnetic surveys over defined areas from the mapping and sampling

·   IP surveys over defined areas from the mapping and sampling

·   Trenching of high priority soil geochemical anomalies over areas of thin cover

·   Community consultation and environmental permitting

·   Data compilation and interrogation

·   Drill target selection and drill program planning
