14-01 - Strong Porphyry Copper Gold Assays over 845 Metres in
Hole 5 at Alpala Prospect, Cascabel Project, including 91 metres
@ 0.90% Cu and 0.79 g/t Au
=======================================================================
Mount Pearl, NL, Canada: Cornerstone Capital Resources Inc.
("Cornerstone" or "the Company") (TSXV-CGP) (F-GWN) (B-GWN) (OTC-CTNXF)
announces that drill hole CSD-13-005 at the Alpala prospect within the
Cascabel Project at the Company's copper-gold porphyry exploration
project in northern Ecuador (refer Figure 1), has returned strong
porphyry copper gold results over 845 metres of the hole to date. The
results indicate discovery of a large high-grade copper gold porphyry
system.
Highlights:
- Large scale, high-grade porphyry system discovered.
- Drill hole CSD-13-005 was temporarily suspended on December 20, 2013
at 869.68m in strong copper and gold mineralization open at depth
pending delivery of additional drilling equipment.
- Final assay results from sample batches 1 and 2 of drill hole
CSD-13-005 have returned the following copper-gold intersections:
- 845.68m @ 0.39% Cu & 0.24 g/t Au (from 24m to end of hole).
- Higher grade intervals including:
- 154m @ 0.43% Cu, 0.25 g/t Au (from 244m to 398m);
- 211.68m @ 0.69% Cu, 0.51 g/t Au (from 658m to end of hole)
- Last 91.68m returned 0.90% Cu, 0.79 g/t Au (from 778m to end of hole)
- Copper and gold grades increasing with depth.
- Strong correlation between magnetite, magnetic response and copper
mineralisation in CSD-13-005 confirms significance of 4km2 Alpala
magnetic complex.
- Drill hole CSD-13-005 expected to resume drilling during week of
January 20th with targeted depth of 1500 metres.

Cornerstone's President & CEO, Brooke Macdonald, said: "Assay results
from hole CSD 13-005 not only confirm visual examination of significant
copper mineralization usually tightly associated with gold reported in
December, but also that the proposed exploration and mineralization
models work very well, indicating the potential to host large size,
gold enriched porphyry copper deposits at Alpala and other target areas
on the property. Indications are that we are just entering the
higher-grade core of the porphyry system. Exploration results have been
excellent from day 1 when we started prospecting work at Cascabel. This
is a very good sign. We believe that there are very few countries
around the world where geologists can still find significant
outcropping porphyry copper-gold mineralization. Ecuador is one of
them. This reinforces our commitment to the country, and demonstrates
Cornerstone's ability to "deliver the goods" for our partners from
early grass-root programs. We have several other 100% owned properties
available for joint venture which can be viewed on our web site."
Drill Hole CSD-13-005 Preliminary Assay Results
The location of drill hole CSD-13-005 is illustrated in Figure 2.
CSD-13-005 was sited to test beneath holes 1 and 2, which intersected
long runs of copper and gold mineralization associated with porphyry
copper gold quartz stock-work and sheeted veins. Copper and gold
intersections for drill hole CSD-13-005 to a depth of 869.68 metres are
listed in Table 1 below. Figure 3 shows a cross-section of copper and
gold intersections in holes CSD-13-001 and CSD-13-005.
Two main intersections have been encountered in drill hole CSD-13-005
to date:
- A shallow intersection of 396 metres grading 0.32% Cu and 0.17 g/t Au (from 24 m depth).
- A deeper intersection of 433 metres grading 0.47% Cu and 0.31g/t Au (from 436 m depth).
A bulked intersection in drill hole CSD-13-005 comprises an 845.68m
interval grading 0.39% Cu and 0.24 g/t Au (from 24m depth). Other
higher-grade intervals are listed in Table 1.
The extensive mineralization within the hole (845.68m grading 0.39%
copper and 0.24 g/t gold) is particularly encouraging especially given
the strong correlation with magnetite from 680 metres downhole.

interest, in Exploraciones Novomining S.A. ("ENSA"), the Ecuadorian
subsidiary of Cornerstone that holds 100% the Cascabel concession.
The Cascabel project is located in north-western Ecuador in an
under-explored northern section of the richly endowed Andean Copper
Belt, 60 km northeast of the undeveloped NI 43-101 compliant inferred
resource of 982 million tons at 0.89% Cu Junin copper project.
Qualified Person:
Yvan Crepeau, MBA, P.Geo., Cornerstone's Vice President, Exploration

is responsible for supervising the exploration program at the Cascabel
project and has reviewed and approved the information contained in this
news release.
Logging, sampling and assaying
Holes referred to in this release were or are being drilled using HTW
and NTW core sizes (respectively 7.1 and 5.6 cm diameter). Geotechnical
measurements such as core recovery, fracturing, rock quality
designations (RQD's), specific density and photographic logging are
performed systematically prior to assaying. The core is logged,
magnetic susceptibility measured and key alteration minerals identified
using an on-site portable spectrometer. Core is then sawed in half at
Cornerstone's core logging facility and half of the core is delivered
by Cornerstone employees for preparation at Acme Analytical
Laboratories (ACME) affiliate laboratory in Cuenca. Core samples are
prepared crushing 1 kg to 80% passing 2 mm (10 mesh), splitting 250 g
and pulverizing to 85% passing 0.075 mm (200 mesh) (ACME code
R200-250). Prepared samples are then shipped to ACME in Vancouver,
Canada where samples are assayed for a multi-element suite (ACME code
1E, 0.25g split, 4-acid digestion, ICP-ES finish). Over limit results
for Ag (> 100 g/t), Cu, Pb and Zn (each one > 1%) are systematically
re-assayed (ACME code 7 TD1 or 7 TD2, 4-acid digestion, ICP-ES finish).
Gold is assayed using a 30 g split, Fire Assay (FA) and AA or ICP-ES
finish (ACME code G601).
Quality assurance / Quality control (QA/QC)
The ACME affiliate preparation facility in Cuenca was audited by
Cornerstone prior to the start of the drilling program and ACME is an
ISO 9001:2008 qualified assayer that performs and makes available
internal assaying controls. Duplicates, certified blanks and standards
are systematically used (1 control sample every 15 samples) as part of
Cornerstone's QA/QC program. Rejects, a 100 g pulp for each core sample
and the remaining half-core are stored for future use and controls.
