Silver Pursuit Appoints Robertson as President and CEO

Silver Pursuit Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SPF) ("Silver Pursuit" or the
"Company") announces the appointment of Mr. Adrian Robertson as President and
Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") of the Company. The appointment follows the
resignation of Mr. Terry Fields as President and CEO of the Company on August
18, 2011. Mr. Fields will continue as Chairman and a director of the Company. 


Mr. Robertson graduated with a degree in mining engineering from Queen's
University in 2002. He worked for a major mining company in the Sudbury basin
gaining experience in technical services, geology, mine planning and design, and
supervision, before moving into a role with a global ground engineering
consulting firm in Vancouver. After stepping away from mining to develop a
career in aviation, Mr. Robertson re-entered the mining business as a consultant
and corporate pilot working with several Vancouver-based junior mining companies
and is a director of Meadow Bay Gold Corp. and Urastar Gold Inc. 


Mr. Robertson has visited Sonora State, Mexico, and met with the owners of the
La Quinterra, La Tuna and La Luz projects several times since joining the board
of Silver Pursuit in December 2010. His focus will be to significantly advance
the promising La Quinterra project by continuing to work closely with his
Mexican contacts.
