Orsa Ventures Completes Geophysical Survey at Ashby Property

Orsa Ventures Corp. ("Orsa" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:ORN) announced today
that the Company has completed a geophysical survey on the Ashby Property.
Preliminary data suggests that there are at least two anomalous zones in the
area of the property.


Approximately 10 line-kilometers of Induced Polarization (IP) were completed to
confirm the extent of a previously discovered resistivity and chargeability
anomaly. The four-line survey outlined an area approximately two by 1.5
kilometres containing continuous zones with strong conductivity and low
resistivity. This area is underlain by folded and faulted platey limestone and
small zones of propylitic altered diorite. The north and east edges of the area
are defined by zones of well-developed jasperoid, often containing copper oxide,
and iron oxide-stained, decalcified limestone. 


Geological and geophysical data point to the potential for a large intrusive
related, porphyry copper gold system and a high-sulfidation, epithermal gold
system which hosted the previous gold production from the project. A trenching
program to expose more of the mineralized jasperoid zones around the geophysical
target and zones of vuggy quartz alteration around the epithermal target are
planned to help further define drilling targets.


The Ashby Mine is credited with reported production of 9,000 ounces of gold
between 1934 and 1937. Additional small scale mining removed several hundred
ounces per year in the 1980's and 1990's. Gold was produced from ten steeply
dipping, inclined shafts from over several hundred metres of underground
workings.


Orsa announced can earn up to a 51% interest in the Ashby gold property in
Nevada through an option agreement with Bridgeport Ventures by phased
exploration expenditures, cash payments and share issuances.

excellent exploration upside. Orsa recently announced the discovery of
significant sediment-hosted gold system at its Coal Canyon Property in the
Oreana Mining Trend, Nevada, where over 10 million ounces has been discovered
since 2009. The Company also has the right to earn a 51% interest Ashby
Property, a former gold producer and porphyry copper-gold target, located in the
Walker Lane Mining Trend, host to several large copper and gold deposits in
Nevada.
