VENTURE:PRO)(FRANKFURT:BIZ) is pleased to announce the results of its
independent technical report for its 100%-owned Cerro Quema Project in Panama
("Cerro Quema" or "the Project"). The National Instrument ("NI") 43-101
compliant Technical Report and Mineral Resource Estimate and Pre-Feasibility
Study ("PFS") for the Cerro Quema Project (the "Project") in Los Santos
Province, Panama, prepared by Kappes Cassiday and Associates, Golder Associates
Inc., and P&E Mining Consultants Inc., will be available shortly with the
Company's other documents on SEDAR (www.sedar.com.) The latest technical work
highlights a planned 10,000 tonnes-per-day ("tpd") production scenario
generating strong economics through an annual production of more than 100,000
gold ounces for the first full year of production. An Environmental Management

Operation:



--  Recent drilling has established reserves of 488,000 ounces of gold
    oxides from 19.7 Mt of ore at 0.77g/t, based on a gold price of
    US$1,275/oz; 
--  Average annual gold production will total 78,546 oz of gold for a total
    of 417,819 oz of gold over 5.3 years 
--  First year gold production of 100,744 ounces of gold - Including 1,536
    oz of preproduction (year -1). 
--  LOM Strip Ratio (Waste:Ore): 0.72:1 - ridge mining 
--  Metallurgical testing shows excellent leaching kinetics, with a
    conservative average recovery of 85.8% through a 10,000-tpd processing
    plant incorporating two stage crushing, conventional heap leach and a
    CIL/ADR circuit; 
--  Recent drilling has established reserves of 488,000 ounces of gold
    oxides from 19.7 Mt of ore at 0.77g/t, based on a gold price of
    US$1,275/oz; 
--  The Environmental Management Program (PAMA) and extraction permits are
    in place for the previously proposed 5,000 tpd operation, covering most
    of the required project areas. Following the optimization of the
    infrastructure locations and processing methods, Pershimco has started
    to update the environmental assessment and permitting applications to
    cover the additional areas and criteria required to accommodate the
    expanded production capacity. The updated applications, which will be
    necessary to initiate construction of the heap leach area, will be
    submitted to the Panamanian government before the year-end. 



The PFS outlines gold production from the initial extraction phase from the
first two open pits of the Project. The operation will have a mine life of 5.3
years and a processing capacity of 3.6 million tonnes per annum ("Mtpa") through
a conventional heap leach and CIL/ADR plant. Average LOM production is expected
to be 78,546 ounces of gold per annum. Gold production by the end of the first
year of production (including preproduction year) will total over 100,000 ounces
of gold, generating significant cash flow to facilitate a faster payback period
for the operation. Pershimco intends to immediately investigate the
recommendations generated by the PFS to optimize the operation's capital
expenditures, initial capital outlay and payback period.


"We are very pleased with the results of the pre-feasibility study on Cerro
Quema. The initial production phase of Project proves to have robust economics
with outstanding returns. The PFS also demonstrates that Cerro Quema's
production profile will have one of the lowest operating cost among other
projects in the industry," comments Alain Bureau, Chief Executive Officer of
Pershimco. "We believe the value we have generated from Cerro Quema since
acquiring it only four years ago represent only the tip of the iceberg. We have
identified more than a dozen oxide targets and have recently confirmed solid
copper-gold porphyry indicators Cerro Quema. We look forward to monetizing the
short term value of the Project so we can unlock its long-term upside potential.
This marks the foundation on which we will continue to build value for our
shareholders. I would like to thank our internal team and the professionals at
Kappes Cassiday & Associates, Golder Associates Inc., and P&E Mining Consultants
for their work in completing the study."

DETAILS

The PFS on the Cerro Quema Project was prepared by Kappes Cassiday and
Associates, Golder Associates Inc., and P&E Mining Consultants Inc. at the
request of Pershimco Resources Inc. ("Pershimco"). Pershimco is a Quebec based,
publicly held company trading on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX.V") under the
symbol PRO and on the Frankfurt exchange under the symbol BIZ.


The purpose of the report is to provide an independent, National Instrument
("NI") 43-101 compliant Technical Report and Mineral Resource Estimate and
Pre-Feasibility Study for the Cerro Quema Project (the "Project") in Los Santos
Province, Panama. The PFS intends to estimate the gold reserves for only La Pava
and Quemita oxide gold deposits, located into the Cerro Quema project. Several
other oxide and sulfide targets on the property remain open for increasing the
gold reserve.


The PFS and its appendix incorporate over 2000 pages of geology, mineral
resources, mineral reserves, mining and mine production schedule, metallurgy,
process plant design, infrastructure engineering, including waste rock dump and
water management, capital and operating cost estimates, financial modeling and
permitting for the Project.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------



The site closure costs cover environmental aspects at the mine and process plant
sites.


The PFS has been completed on the basis that mining operations will be
undertaken on an owner-operator basis, although the Company is exploring
opportunities to reduce upfront capital outlay through contractor mining.
Pershimco also expects that further savings on Capex and Opex will be possible
thru negotiation with its main suppliers and partners, once the financial aspect
of the Project will be secured.


Costs per Ounce Produced

The PFS has demonstrated low operating cash cost of US$402/oz and low total cash
costs of US$574/oz, including taxes and royalties. The financial model includes
all of the capital and operating costs:

Pershimco owns 100% of the Cerro Quema Project. Taxes for mining business and
royalty to the Government are well defined in Panama. Nevertheless, Pershimco
intend to start discussions with the Government of Panama in respect of the
fiscal incentives that could apply to the Project. The Project will be a
significant contributor to the tax base of the Panama economy and until now
every mining operation in Panama has benefit from fiscal incentives.


The PFS is based on a corporation tax rate of 25%, a royalty of 4% to the
Government of Panama, which are already defined in Panama. An additional royalty
of 0.6% is owed to a private company (CEMSA) held by a former owner. 


Mineral Resources Estimate

The effective date of this mineral resource estimate is June 30th, 2014. 

The Cerro Quema mineral resources are reported inside an optimized pit shell.
The results from the optimized pit shell are used solely for the purpose of
reporting mineral resources that have reasonable prospects for economic
extraction, and the optimization is based on the economic parameters including
US$1,500/oz gold, 86% oxide Au recovery, 90% sulphide Au recovery, US$2.20/tonne
mining costs, $6.13/tonne oxide processing cost, $12.00 tonne sulphide process
cost, US$1.00/tonne G&A. A cutoff of 0.18 g/t Au was used for oxide
mineralization and 0.31 g/t Au for sulphide mineralization. The pit shell was
optimized based on Au block grades for oxide zones and Au-equivalent (AuEq)
block grades for sulphide zones. The Au-equivalent block grades were calculated
using the formula: AuEq = (Au g/t + (Cu% x 1.6)).


The In-Pit Mineral Resources are summarized in the table 7.

1.  Mineral resources are reported inside an optimized pit shell. AuEq was
    calculated using Au + 1.6 (i) Cu. 
2.  Numbers may not add up due to rounding. 
3.  Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have
    demonstrated economic viability. 
4.  The quantity and grade of reported Inferred resources in this estimation
    are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to
    define these Inferred resources as an Indicated or Measured mineral
    resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in
    upgrading them to an Indicated or Measured mineral resource category. 
5.  The mineral resources were estimated using the Canadian Institute of
    Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), CIM Standards on Mineral
    Resources and Reserves, Definitions and Guidelines prepared by the CIM
    Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions and adopted by CIM Council. 
6.  The mineral resource is based on economic parameters including
    US$1,500/oz gold, 86% oxide Au recovery, 90% sulphide Au recovery,
    US$2.20/tonne mining costs, US$6.13/tonne oxide processing cost,
    US$12.00/tonne sulphide processing cost and US$1.00/tonne G&A 



Mineral Reserve Estimate

The Cerro Quema mining operation will consist of open-pit mining only with no
underground mining component planned, hence, all of the ore reserves are deemed
to be open pit reserves. No Inferred mineral resources are used in the
estimation of the mineral reserve. Only oxide resources are used in the
estimation of the mineral reserve.


The mineral reserves for the Cerro Quema Project will be provided by two
separate pits: La Pava pit and Quema pit. Two separate block models were
developed; one for each pit.


The Proven and Probable mineral reserves for the Project are summarized in the
Table 9. A cut-off grade of 0.21 g/t Au is used for reporting all reserves. The
mineral reserve represents a diluted ore tonnage.

Notes



1.  Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and Petroleum ("CIM")
    definitions were used for Mineral Reserves 
2.  The Mineral reserve Is based on US$1,275/oz gold 



Metallurgical Testing

Metallurgical testing of material from the Cerro Quema deposit was completed by
the previous owners and Pershimco. The testing included:




--  Bottle roll tests that evaluated amenability of the materials to
    cyanidation; 
--  Column leach tests that evaluated the amenability of the materials to
    conventional heap leaching 



Metallurgical testing results show:



--  Oxide material from La Pava responds very well to cyanide bottle roll
    and column leaching yielding high gold extractions and low reagent
    consumptions. 
--  Laboratory Gold recovery averaging 92% for bottle roll tests and 93% for
    column leach tests. 
--  At grade of 1 g/t Au and lower, extractions is approximately the same
    for both La Pava and Quema 
--  At grades above 1 g/t Au, the extractions for La Pava are greater than
    for Quema; 
--  KCA recommends using a constant field gold recovery of 86% for all La
    Pava material and the low grade of Quema. Further, it is recommended to
    discount Quema ore recovery at 3% recovery of gold per 1 g/t head grade;
    the weighted average recovery being 85.5%. 
--  The data show no dependence of gold extraction on crush size for the
    materials and size ranges tested; 
--  Clay containing material shows poor permeability and will require cement
    agglomeration. This material (about 1,000,000 tonnes) will be stockpiled
    and processed at the end of the mine life. 



Mining Operation

The mining method will be a conventional open-pit mine. The ore production rate
delivered to the heap leach pad area is approximately 3.6 million tonnes per
year of silica ore. Over the life of the Project about 1,000,000 tonnes of
clayey ore will be stockpiled and processed at the end of the mine life.


Overall total annual mining rates will range from a high of 7.1 Mt of combined
ore and waste to a low of 5.5 Mt with an average of about 6.4 Mt/year. The
average total daily mining rate will be of 18,000 tpd, of which 10,000 tpd would
consist of ore. 


Golder Associates completed a geotechnical review to provide pit slope design
with catch bench width of 6.5 m for 10 m high double benches utilizing a bench
face angle of 62 degrees, resulting in an inter-ramp slope angle of 40 degrees.


The total mine life for this first operation is five years in duration, not
including one year of pre-production nor 0.3 year for processing the clay stock
pile.


Ore and waste from the La Pava pit will be hauled to the crusher and Chontal
waste dump. At the Quema pit, a trade-off study recommended the use of a
conveyor system to transport both ore and waste down the hillside. 


The Pre-Feasibility study considered both options of Owner-Operated mining and
Contract mining. The base case for the study is the Owner-Operated mining
option, although contractor mining will be re-evaluated in order to reduce
initial capital outlay.


Initially, an 6.5m3 excavator and 7m3 front end loader would be purchased along
with a total of six trucks (four 40t articulated and two 50t rigid frame) to be
ready for Year-1. As the production rate ramps up and the La Pava pit deepens
with longer haul distances, additional trucks will be required. The fleet of
four articulated trucks will be supplemented with additional 50t rigid frame
trucks since working conditions in the pit will improve with depth. The truck
fleet will peak at ten units. No major mining equipment replacements will be
required over the Project's mine life.


The Cerro Quema mine will require mine offices, change house facilities,
maintenance facilities, warehousing and cold storage areas. The explosive
contractor will be allocated storage space on the Project site. 


Mineral Processing

Mineral processing consists of a 10,000 tonne per day conventional heap leach of
crushed ore stacked on a single use pad. Gold will be leached from the
mineralized material with dilute cyanide solution and will be recovered in a
carbon adsorption-desorption-recovery (ADR) plant to produce dore bars.


Ore will be delivered by haul trucks from one of the open pit mines to the
primary jaw crusher producing ore crushed to 100% passing 130 mm. The jaw
crusher product will feed a secondary cone crusher. Cone crusher product will
discharge to the crushed ore stockpile constructed over a subterranean tunnel
containing two reclaim belt feeders and the Reclaim Tunnel Conveyor.


Pebble lime will be added to the reclaim tunnel conveyor at a nominal rate of
1.6 kg/t material. The crushed material and lime will then be conveyed to the
heap for stacking.


The ore will be leached using a dilute solution of sodium cyanide. The dilute
cyanide leach solution will percolate through the material, dissolving gold, and
drain by gravity to a pregnant solution pond. Pregnant solution will be pumped
to a set of five carbon adsorption columns, exiting the last column as barren
solution. 


Stripping of the gold from the loaded carbon is accomplished by circulating a
heated, dilute caustic and cyanide solution upwards through the carbon bed. The
heated solution exits the elution vessel as pregnant eluent which flows to the
recovery circuit where stripped gold is plated onto mild steel wool cathodes.


The mild steel wool cathodes are treated in the retort furnace which removes the
water and the mercury. The retorted cathodes are mixed with fluxes, melted and
poured into dore bars. The dore is finally shipped to an offsite refiner for
further processing and sale as fine gold.


The process flow sheet is well-known in the gold mining industry. It is
considered to be low risk and historically has proven a successful processing
route for this type of ore body. 


Permitting

Concession to the Cerro Quema Property comprises three contracts between the
Republic of Panama and Minera Cerro Quema, S.A. ("MCQ"), a wholly owned
Panamanian subsidiary of Pershimco. The Contracts numbered 19, 20 and 21,
granted in February and March 1997 provide the exclusive rights for the
extraction of class IV metallic minerals (gold and silver) for a period of 20
years and cover 14,893 ha. The contracts can be extended for a first 10 year
extension and then two additional extensions of 5 years each.


An environmental assessment and permits are in place for the previously proposed
continuous vat leach operation. However, as the current project will utilize
heap leach processing methods, Pershimco has initiated an update of the
environmental assessment and permits to reflect the new project design. 


An Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) is in progress and will be
completed later in 2014. Pershimco plans to submit Permit Applications,
including the closure plan, to the Panamanian government in 2014. 


Project Implementation

The Project schedule is planned to coincide with permitting and the dry season
on Panama. The Project is considered to be conventional and low risk; Pershimco
intends to skip the feasibility level engineering and proceed with detailed
engineering and construction. The major project milestone estimates are
summarized in the Table 10:

Project Optimization

The PFS focused on estimating the potential of only La Pava and Quemita oxide
gold deposits. Further exploration work and studies will follow to unveil the
potential of the Cerro Quema property:




--  There is considerable potential to find additional zones of gold oxide
    mineralization along the alteration trend that hosts the La Pava,
    Quemita-Quema and La Mesita deposits. 
--  Sulphide resources have been estimated beneath the oxide zones in La
    Pava and Quema/Quemita. The sulphidic material represents a significant
    opportunity for a future gold-copper mining operation and a flotation
    concentrator. 
--  Silver is present in La Pava and Quema/Quemita ore. Field recovery of
    silver is estimated at 12% based on assays that could be obtained from
    metallurgical test data. Using a silver price of $14 per oz, the silver
    represents a potential revenue source of $2.7 million assuming a
    mineralized inventory of 1.6 M oz Ag. 
--  There are opportunities to improve Cero Quema's economics and work will
    continue to explore scenarios optimizing CAPEX and OPEX: 
    --  Increasing ore crush size (ROM or single stage cruching); 
    --  Using mining contractor; 
    --  Processing clay material along with silica ore; 
    --  Increasing pit slope. 



Technical Report

Pershimco will file a NI 43-101 compliant technical report on Cerro Quema
outlining the Mineral Resources and Reserves estimate and the results of the
PFS. The report will be available within 45 days at www.sedar.com and on the

Quality Assurance / Quality Control ("QA/QC")

For the present resource estimate, diamond drill core and reverse circulation
("RC") cuttings samples were collected, approximately each one meter. A thorough
quality assurance/quality control ("QA/QC", or "QC") program was implemented,
which included one field blank and at least one certified reference material,
(also referred to as a standard), for every batch of 20 samples sent to the
laboratory. 


The principal laboratory used by Pershimco was Activation Laboratories
("Actlabs"). Samples were sent to Actlab's Panama laboratory for preparation and
the resulting pulps were sent to Actlabs in Ancaster, ON, Canada for analysis.
Gold sample tenor was determined using fire assay method with atomic absorption
finish. Gold values exceeding the 2.5 g/t Au were rerun using fire assay with a
gravimetric finish. The sample preparation, security, and analytical procedures
are in keeping with standard industry practice and are suitable for use in the
current resource estimate.

GLOSSARY

"Mineral Reserve": A mineral reserve is the economically mineable part of a
Measured or Indicated Mineral Resource demonstrated by at least a Preliminary
Feasibility Study. This study must include adequate information on mining,
processing, metallurgical, economics and other relevant factors that
demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that economic extraction can be
justified. A Mineral Reserve includes diluting materials and allowances for
losses that may occur when the material is mined.


"Mineral Resource": A mineral resource is a concentration or occurrence of
diamonds, natural solid inorganic material, or natural solid fossilized organic
material including base and precious metals, coal, and industrial minerals in or
on the Earth's crust in such form and quantity and of such grade or quality that
it has reasonable prospects for economic extraction. The location, quantity,
grade, geological characteristics and continuity of a Mineral Resource are
known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge.


"Inferred Mineral Resource": is that part of a Mineral Resource for which
quantity and grade or quality can be estimated on the basis of geological
evidence and limited sampling and reasonably assumed, but not verified,
geological and grade continuity. The estimate is based on limited information
and sampling gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as
outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes.


"Indicated Mineral Resource": is that part of a Mineral Resource for which
quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics, can
be estimated with a level of confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate
application of technical and economic parameters, to support mine planning and
evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. The estimate is based on
detailed and reliable exploration and testing information gathered through
appropriate technique from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings
and drill holes that are spaced closely enough for geological and grade
continuity to be reasonable assumed.


"Measured Mineral Resource": is that part of a Mineral Resource for which
quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape, and physical characteristics are
so well established that they can be estimated with confidence sufficient to
allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters, to
support production planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the
deposit. The estimate is based on detailed and reliable exploration, sampling
and testing in- formation gathered through appropriate techniques from locations
such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes that are spaced
closely enough to confirm both geological and grade continuity.


The above definitions of "mineral resource", "measured mineral resource", and
"indicated mineral resource" conform to Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy
and Petroleum ("CIM") definitions as defined in the CIM Standards on Mineral
Resources and Reserves - Definitions and Guidelines as required by National
Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, of the Canadian
Securities Administrators.
