VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - June 27, 2011) - Caerus Resource Corporation (News - Market indicators) "the Company" is pleased to report further results from the ongoing exploration program at the El Cafetal Gold Mine, located in Valparaiso District, Colombia. Work to date has included a surface Mobile Metallic Ion (SGS Laboratories Proprietary Process) sample program and a chip sample program within existing adits. Additional geological reconnaissance has focused on exploration outside of the known zone. Newly discovered veins outcropping at surface were sampled, along with several workings. Significant gold, silver and copper values were encountered.
Samples were shipped to Inspectorate Laboratories of Medellin, Colombia for sample preparation and analyzed by Inspectorate Laboratory in Reno, Nevada, an ISO 9001:2008 certified laboratory. Analysis was by fire assay for gold. For silver and other base metals (Cu, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sb and Zn) the primary analytical method was ICP followed by Atomic Absorption Analysis for ore grade samples. Gold, silver and copper were the only metals showing significant values.
A total of 18 areas of interest were sampled, of which 14 are outcrops and 4 are tunnels. Of the 18 areas, 11 are outside the known stockwork zone. Values ranged from a low of 0.1 gpt Au over .9 of a meter to 42.06 gpt Au from a prospect. All results are in a table at the end of this press release. Several significant gold results were obtained from outside the stockworks zone and are:
Sample 22515: 42.06 gpt, Au 38 gpt Ag and 0.20% Cu / a newly uncovered tunnel located 500 meters from the western edge of the stockworks zone / 12 centimeter chip sample from the roof
Sample 22516 1.4 gpt Au / located within a tunnel 300 meters southwest of the stockwork zone / 0.35 meter chip sample
Sample 22518 : 5.21 gpt Au / located 500 meters southwest of the stockwork zone / chip sample of outcrop
Sample 22525: 7.298 gpt Au / located 300 meters west of the stockwork zone / 1.4 meter ship sample of outcrop
Sample 22527 / 0.356 gpt Au / located 200 meters west of the stockwork zone / 3 meter chip sample of heavily weathered outcrop
Sample 22522: 1.12 gpt Au, 113 gpt Ag and 0.40% Cu / 500 meters east of the stockwork zone / 0.40 meter chip sample from within an adit
Sample 22523: 0.88 gpt Au, 58.8 gpt Ag and 1.27% Cu / 300 meters east of the stockwork zone / 1.7 meter chip sample of outcrop
Sample 22532: 0.64 gpt Au / 550 meters east of the stockwork zone / chip sample of prospect

The Company has contracted KTTM Geophysics of Medellin, Colombia to conduct a geophysical survey of the project. This will include induced polarity (IP), resistivity and chargeability surveys, as well as ground magnetometry. Subsequent to the completion of financing, the Company plans to drill test various locations. A NI 43-101 Technical Report is in the final stages of completion and is expected shortly.
Mr. Paul A. Pelke, a registered geologist in the state of California and a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 has reviewed the content of this press release.
