Grade Silver Mineralization Sampled at Chavin Property, Peru

Vancouver, B.C., November 15, 2010 - Condor Resources
Inc. - ("Condor"
or the "Company") (TSX.V: CN) is pleased to announce that it has
received an encouraging progress report on its 100% owned Chavin
polymetallic property from joint venture partner Minera Silex Peru SRL
("Silex"), a subsidiary of Golden Minerals
Company ("Golden") (TSX:
AUM; NYSE Amex: AUMN).
Silex plans to conduct a 12 hole
diamond drill program totalling 2,650m
to test the main vein and additional anomalous silicified and oxidized
structures for continuity at depth.
Underground channel sample results by Silex from an
historically mined
60m long adit on the property returned grades as high
as 849 g/t Ag,
19.45% Pb and 7.92% Zn over 0.60m, 785 g/t Ag, 17.95%
Pb and 9.56% Zn
over 0.55m and 579 g/t Ag, 12.65% Pb and 6.02% Zn
over 1.20m. Surface
channel samples assayed as high as 616 g/t Ag, 12.05% Pb
and 6.25% Zn
over 1.00m, 561 g/t Ag, 10.35% Pb and 5.44% Zn over
1.00m. The highest
gold value obtained was 5.57 g/t Au over 1.10m.
Since optioning the Chavin property in April, 2010, Silex has engaged
the local community, contracted for an environmental impact study to
cover the property, constructed 6.5 km of access road to the project
and an additional 1.5 km within the property boundary, and built a base
camp. In addition, Silex has carried out 1:1000 scale
geological
mapping, a topographical survey for control and collected and analyzed
a total of 369 surface samples from the main vein and surrounding
silicified and oxidized structures, as well as taking 25 samples from
the existing 60m long adit. Surface samples from the
main vein were cut
with a portable diamond saw at 25m intervals perpendicular to the vein.
Secondary structures were also sampled at 25m intervals and peripheral
silicified and oxidized structures were sampled at 50m intervals along
strike. Each sample, of varying length, was cut 20cm wide by 10cm deep
and averaged 3 to 4 kg in weight. ALS Chemex
conducted the geochemical
analyses.
Some 3.3 km of vein length have now been measured, including 1.5 km of
the main vein. The main vein trends 140/50-70SW, ranges from 50cm to
4.50m wide and comprises quartz-carbonate with
sphalerite-galena-chalcopyrite-pyrite-pyrrhotite and gold
mineralization with associated banded, drusy and bladed
textures. The
Chavin polymetallic vein
system is located within the Central Andes
mineral belt in northern Peru, 45 km NW of the Pierina
gold mine
operated by Barrick and 10 km SW of the Pashpap Cu-Mo porphyry project.
The Chavin property has been increased from 6 sq km
in size to
approximately 8 sq km.
Condor currently owns a 100% interest in the property. Silex
can
acquire a 65% interest in the Property by incurring exploration
expenditures of US$1,400,000 and by paying Condor a minimum of
US$130,000 in cash over three years. If the option is exercised, the
Property title will be transferred into a single-purpose company in
which Condor and Silex will have 35% and 65%
shareholdings
respectively. If Condor elects to not contribute to the costs of a
pre-feasibility study and a feasibility study, Silex
can increase its
shareholding up to 75%.
Condor also advises, that further to our November 12, 2010
news release
regarding the retention of Ticar Consulting Corp.,
("Ticar"), to
provide investor relations, the Company will be paying Ticar
$3,000 per
month compensation, in addition to the incentive option previously
disclosed.
