Area of the Coldstream Property
Drill Program Highlights:
21.10 g/t gold over 0.50 metres within a 10.00-metre-wide mineralized
zone averaging 2.22 g/t gold: drill hole SL-11-11
31.39 g/t gold over 1.30 metres, including 80.30 g/t gold over 0.50
metre: drill hole SL-11-12
Span Lake target is located 8.0 km southwest of the Osmani Gold Deposit
(763,276 ounces gold Inferred and 96,400 ounces of gold Indicated) and
adjacent to the Moss Lake Gold Deposit (1.63 million ounces gold)

: TSX-V) is pleased to announce that it has successfully intersected new
high-grade gold mineralization in two of three holes drilled within the
Span Lake area of the Coldstream Property ("Property"). These holes were
drilled in the underexplored southwestern Span Lake claims adjacent to
the Moss Lake Gold Deposit (1.1 million ounces gold indicated and 0.52
million ounces gold inferred - Moss Lake Gold Mines news release dated
July 14, 2010) and is located approximately 8.0 kilometres southwest of
the Osmani Gold Deposit (763,276 ounces gold from 30.5 million tonnes at
0.78 g/t gold Inferred and 96,400 ounces gold from 3.5 million tonnes at
0.85 g/t gold in Indicatedcategories).

*Mineralized zones generally start at 0.1 g/t gold and assay averages
may include minimal intervals of waste material. No top cuts of assays
were used.All intervals are represented as down-hole core lengths.
The Span Lake target is one of five areas of interest for the Company to
host potentially economic gold mineralization. The primary objective for
drilling the Span Lake target is a two-fold program: 1) test the IP
chargeability anomaly (IP-1 area) (Figure 1) delineated by Foundation in
2011 (News Release - August 16, 2011), and 2) test the potential
extension of the adjacent Moss Lake Gold Deposit onto the southern
claims of the Property.
"We are very pleased with the results of the three exploratory drill
holes, which intersected multiple high-grade gold mineralization within
relatively broad envelopes of anomalous gold mineralization in an
underexplored area of the Span Lake. These results not only confirm the
potential extension of the Moss Lake Gold Deposit (Main Zone) onto these
claims but have also added substantial blue sky potential to host
significant gold mineralization within the Coldstream Property,"
commented Ike Osmani, President and Director of Foundation.
Drilling at Span Lake is part of a 4,000-metre winter exploratory
program designed to evaluate the economic potential in other areas of
the Property, such as Goldie and Span lakes targets. Goldie and Span
Lake are located 1.0 kilometre south and 8.0 kilometres southwest of the
Osmani Gold Deposit, respectively. Of the 4,000 metre drilling program,
over 3,000 metres (14-holes) have been completed on the Span Lake target
while the remaining 1,000 metres have been allocated to the Goldie Lake
target. The drill results from the Goldie Lake drilling were reported on
March 02, 2012.
All three holes tested a strong to weak chargeability anomaly area
(IP-1) coincident with a weak to medium resistivity anomaly underlying
the southwestern-most Span Lake claims adjacent to the Moss Lake Gold
Mines property (Figure 1). This anomalous area has very minimal to no
bedrock exposure and as a result has been significantly underexplored.
All three holes drilled in this area intersected anomalous to highly
anomalous gold and silver mineralization indicating excellent potential
to host significant precious metal mineralization. The precious metal
mineralization is associated with 1 to 10% pyrite and less than 1%
chalcopyrite. The assay results, although based on very limited drilling
to this date, suggest mineralization is open both on strike
(north-northeast and east-northeast)and at depth.
Drill hole SL-11-11, designed to test a medium to weak chargeability
anomaly, intersected high-grade gold and silver mineralization at two
locations. The assay results yielded21.10 g/t gold and 36.40 g/t silver
over 0.50 metre within a 10.05-metre-widezone averaging 2.22g/t gold and
4.96 g/t silver at the relatively shallow depth of 98.35m to 108.40m.
The second high-grade mineralized zone occurred 51.85 metres down hole,
yielding 21.0 g/t gold and 6.70 g/t silver over 0.50metre.
Drill hole SL-11-12, located 200 metres west of drill hole SL-11-11,
intersected several anomalous gold values, including one high-grade gold
intercept. The most significant assay results from this hole include a
23.0 metre-wide zone averaging 0.43 g/t gold and 1.92 g/t silver
(including 0.57 g/t gold and 3.94 g/t silver over 10.0 metres), and a
high-grade intercept of 31.39 g/t gold and 3.04 g/t silver over 1.30
metres(including 80.30 g/t gold and 7.50 g/t silver over 0.50 metre).
The high-grade mineralization (80.30 g/t gold) in the hole is confirmed
bythe presence of visible gold observed in the core at the time of
sampling. The visible gold sample was subjected to a special pulp
metallic screening procedure by the ALS ChemexLab to ensure that the
assay result is an accurate representation of gold content in the core
sample.
Drill hole SL-11-13 was collared 100 metres northeast of SL-11-12 and
was designed to test the lateral northeast extension of gold
mineralization intersected in drill hole SL-11-12. The best intercept
from SL-11-13 include 0.45 g/t gold and 1.55 g/t silver within 20.05
metre-wide zone, including 1.36 g/t gold and 4.21 g/t silver over 4.80
metres.
Ike Osmani, M.Sc., P.Geo., the President of Foundation and the Qualified
Person for the Coldstream Project supervised the drill program, has
reviewed and approved the technical content of this news release.
About the Coldstream Property
There are currently five (5) known significant gold mineralization areas
occurring within the claim boundaries of the Coldstream Property that
are currently subject to aggressive exploration and development
campaigns by the Company. The exploration targets include: Osmani Gold
Deposit, Iris Zone, Goldie Zone, Span Lake deposit and the Burchell West
prospect. Of these, the Osmani Gold Deposit is the most advanced of all
other targets for which a NI 43-101 resource estimate of 763,276 ounces
gold in the Inferred and 96,400 ounces gold in the Indicated categories
has been calculated and reported on September 20, 2011. The
6,410-hectare Property, located along the Trans-Canada Highway 115 km
west of Thunder Bay in north western Ontario, occurs within the western
Shebandowan Greenstone Belt of the Wawa Sub-province which is host to
some of the richest gold mines in Canada (e.g., Hemlo gold camp).
Gold on the Coldstream Property occurs along 16 kilometres of the 25
kilometre long, northeast-southwest trending North Coldstream-Moss Lake
deformation zone which hosts and defines the Coldstream Gold Trend.
About Foundation Resources Inc.
Foundation Resources is a mineral exploration company focused on the
exploration and development of its flagship Coldstream Gold Project
located in the Shebandowan Greenstone Belt, 115 Km North West of Thunder
Bay, Ontario and the Mitchell base metal property located within the Red
Lake Mining District in Ontario. The Company's recently announced
resource estimate of 863,000 ounces of gold (763,276 ounces gold
inferred and 96,400 ounces gold indicated) on the Osmani deposit is one
of five highly prospective gold targets that Foundation controlswithin
this 16 km long Coldstream Gold Trend. In addition to its Canadian
projects, the Company is also exploring the San Rafael gold-silver
property in Mexico which is located approximately 150 km northwest of
Durango.
