76% Increase in JORC Indicated Resource Tonnage at Régua

W Resources Plc (AIM:WRES), a tungsten, copper and gold exploration and development company announces a significant increase in the contained tungsten within the JORC compliant mineral resource estimate at Régua, located in Northern Portugal, following the completion of the new mineral resource estimate by Golder Associates.

The total resource tonnage increased by 22% to 5.46mt at a grade of 0.28% WO(3) , up from 4.46mt, and notably the indicated resource tonnage increased by 76% to 3.76mt at 0.304% WO(3) (2012: 2.14mt @ 0.367% WO(3) ).

The updated resource model is based on thick high-grade sections of tungsten mineralisation at or near surface and will form the basis for mine planning and mine reserve estimation. The outcrop area drilled mid-year has the potential for low cost high-grade open pit development.

Michael Masterman, Chairman of W Resources commented: "The drilling campaign at Régua exceeded our initial expectations and we are delighted that the work to date has resulted in this significant increase in the indicated resources at Régua. The results to date provide us with a strong basis for the next phase of mine planning as we move the project nearer to production."

The next step is now to complete the mine planning and reserve estimation process, which is targeted for the first quarter 2016. Metallurgical work has progressed well over the last quarter with good metal recoveries. A full update on the metallurgical programme and results will be provided in the next two months.

Summary of Mineral Resource Statement

The mineral resource inventory was classified as either Indicated or Inferred Resources. The classification of the mineral resources was considered appropriate based on geological confidence criteria and the location and quality of drilling and sampling information.

The resource estimate is based on the Ordinary Kriging interpolated block model.

The mineral resource consists of mineralised skarn horizons hosted within calcsilicate-altered schists and greywackes. The deposit is cross cut by a fault splitting the deposit into two separate areas. The skarn units continue across the fault although the orientation of the mineralisation is different for each fault block. A WO(3) cut-off grade of 0.1% was applied to the mineral resource estimate.

The information in the statement which relates to the mineral resource is based on information compiled in accordance with the JORC Code, 2012 Edition.

About Régua

W Resources Plc (AIM:WRES) owns a permit for the exploration of the Régua tungsten deposit located 400km North of Lisbon and 95km East of Porto in the municipality of the town of Armamar. The Company was awarded a trial mining licence by the Portuguese Ministry for the Environment, Territorial Planning and Energy in June 2014.

Régua tungsten deposit has a resource of 5.46 million tonnes grading 0.28% WO(3) , at a cut-off of 0.1% WO(3) , covering an area of 8km(2). The deposit has not been previously mined and is located close to infrastructure with good road access.

Technical information in this report and on the W website has been prepared in accordance with the JORC Code or defined by National Instrument 43-101 and approved for inclusion by Mr José Mario Castelo Branco, EuroGeol, who is a "qualified person" in respect of the AIM Rules for Companies with over 32 years' experience in the Exploration and Mining Geology industry. Mr Castelo Branco holds a B.Sc. in Geology from the University of Porto in Portugal. He is also a member of the Portuguese Association of Geologists (Number 354), the European Federation of Geologists, the Society of Economic Geologists, the Society for Geology Applied to Mineral Deposits and the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada.

The JORC Code Assessment Criteria

The JORC Code, 2012 Edition describes a number of criteria, which must be addressed in the Public Reporting of Mineral Resource estimates. These criteria provide a means of assessing whether or not parts of or the entire data inventory used in the estimate are adequate for that purpose. The Mineral Resource estimates stated in this document were based on the criteria set out in Table 1 of that Code. These criteria are discussed in Table 2 as follows.

Table 2: JORC Code Table 1.

 Nature and quality of sampling

  chips, or specific specialised 
  industry standard measurement 
  tools appropriate to the 
  minerals under investigation, 
  such as downhole gamma 
  sondes, or handheld XRF 
  instruments, etc.). These 
  examples should not be 
  taken as limiting the broad 
  meaning of sampling.

  Aspects of the determination 
  of mineralisation that 
  are Material to the Public 
  Report. In cases where 
  'industry standard' work 
  has been done this would 
  be relatively simple (e.g. 
  'reverse circulation drilling 
  was used to obtain 1 m 
  samples from which 3 kg 
  was pulverised to produce 
  a 30 g charge for fire 
  assay'). In other cases 
  more explanation may be 
  required, such as where 
  there is coarse gold that 
  has inherent sampling problems. 
  Unusual commodities or 
  mineralisation types (e.g.

                                          comprised 72 vertical sections 
                                          aligned to azimuth N210. The 
                                          interpretation was transferred 
                                          to Golder as DXF sections

                                          based on these geology sections 
                                          and adapted where necessary.

                                          into two separate areas. The

  impacts, particularly for 
  a greenfields project, 
  may not always be well 
  advanced, the status of 
  early consideration of 
  these potential environmental 
  impacts should be reported. 
  Where these aspects have 
  not been considered this 
  should be reported with 
  an explanation of the environmental 
  assumptions made.

 Bulk Density                            ! Bulk density values were 
                                          assigned based on mineralisation 
                                          and fault block. The bulk 
                                          densities were based on immersion 
                                          measurements from median density 
                                          of 1 890 samples from 27 DDH 
                                          were used in determining the 
                                          assigned values. 
======================================  ============================================= 
 Whether assumed or determined. 
  If assumed, the basis for 
  the assumptions. If determined, 
  the method used, whether 
  wet or dry, the frequency 
  of the measurements, the 
  nature, size and representativeness 
  of the samples. 
 
  The bulk density for bulk 
  material must have been 
  measured by methods that 
  adequately account for 
  void spaces (vugs, porosity, 
  etc.), moisture and differences 
  between rock and alteration 
  zones within the deposit. 
  Discuss assumptions for 
  bulk density estimates 
  used in the evaluation 
  process of the different 
  materials.
