TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Jan. 9, 2013) - Cogitore Resources Inc. (News - Market indicators) is pleased to report that a diamond drilling program has started at its Caribou Project located in the Casa-Berardi area of NW Quebec. One drill rig mobilized to the first drill site on January 8 and a 4,000 metre drill program is planned.

Drilling at Caribou by Cogitore in 2009 led to the discovery of high grade polymetallic massive sulphides located 3.4 kilometres to the west of the high grade Estrades mine (past production: 174,946 tonnes of ore grading 1.1 % Cu, 13.0 % Zn, 6.4 g/t Au and 172 g/t Ag). The mineralized zone at Caribou is on the same stratigraphic horizon as the Estrades mine and forms a thin vertical sheet of approximately 300 metres by 400 metres. The weighted average of the six holes drilled to date is 3.3% copper, 6.5% zinc, 1.7 g/t gold and 66.1 g/t silver over a core length of 1.5 metres. The Caribou mineralization consists of classic volcanogenic massive sulphides (VMS) and the overall grades encountered to-date are in line with those within the top 10% of all VMS deposits worldwide (in terms of overall grade). The Caribou zone remains open below 600 metres vertical.

The objective of the on-going program is to identify areas of increased thickness of the mineralized zone and the target sectors include the extension at depth of the Caribou deposit, zones of increased conductivity within the known deposit, and an isolated conductor (InfiniTEM anomaly) identified in 2010 about 300 metres on strike and to the west of the deposit. Cogitore completed the earning of its interest in the Caribou project during 2012 and, following IAMGOLD's decision to not participate in a joint venture, Cogitore is now the 100% owner of the project.

The Company has developed a strategic focus on base metal exploration in prospective areas that also feature infrastructure favourable for mining development. Accordingly, it will focus its work in the Abitibi Belt of Quebec and Ontario.
