Hudson Produces High Quality Alumina From Its White Mountain Anorthosite Project in Greenland

Vancouver,
BC - HUDSON RESOURCES INC. (the ?Company?) ? (TSX Venture Exchange
?HUD?; OTCQX ?HUDRF?) is pleased to announce that the Company has successfully
produced alumina (aluminum oxide) from initial bench-scale testing on the calcium
feldspar anorthosite from its White Mountain Project.  The objective of the testwork, which has been
undertaken at SGS Lakefield under the supervision of Hudson?s consulting
metallurgist, Dr. John Goode, P. Eng., is to produce smelter grade alumina
(SGA).  A presentation summarizing the technical
results has been posted to Hudson?s website at www.hudsonresources.ca/files/Sept-2013-Alumina.pdf.

 

As
announced in January 2013 (NR-2013-02), testwork using
hydrochloric acid (HCl) leaching demonstrated the high solubility of the
anorthosite material at normal atmospheric pressure and relatively low
temperatures of 100 degree Celsius. Alumina recoveries from the latest four
tests ranged from 95% to 98%.  The
process also generates an amorphous silica by-product which has applications in
the Portland cement industry.  Little to
no waste material is produced from the process. 
Following the success of the small scale tests, larger scale tests have
now been initiated at SGS to produce sufficient alumina for analysis by potential
end users in the aluminum industry.

 

James
Tuer, Hudson?s President, stated, ?We are very excited with these results and believe
we are well on our way to producing a marketable smelter grade alumina. The
high solubility of our White Mountain Anorthosite, which is unique to high
calcium feldspars, eliminates the need for an expensive high temperature and
high pressure leaching process. We have utilized and improved upon existing,
unpatented aluminum chloride production processes and we do not require any new
technologies to produce a high quality product.?

 

Additional
test work has commenced in order to:

 

1.    
Reproduce the results with larger sample batches;

2.    
Perform additional SGA analyses to analyze the physical properties
of the alumina;

3.    
Provide sufficient samples for the aluminum producers to test
efficacy of the alumina in the production of aluminum;

4.    
Finalize the flowsheet in order to determine the preliminary
economics to produce the alumina

 

Currently, the world supply of alumina comes from bauxite deposits
located in the Southern Hemisphere which produce a significant amount of red
mud waste material.  Hudson?s White
Mountain project is strategically located close to aluminum smelters in Eastern
Canada, Iceland and Europe.  Alcoa has
submitted an application to the Government of Greenland to build an aluminum
smelter approximately 80 km from Hudson?s White Mountain project.

 

The
White Mountain Anorthosite project is 100% owned by Hudson. The project has
three potential high-value applications which are being investigated, as
follows:

 

1.
A new source of feedstock to the high end fiberglass (E-glass) industry;

2.
A new source of alumina to supply aluminum smelters

3.  A new source of filler material. Fillers are
a significant component of the plastics, paints and paper industries

 

The company is rapidly
advancing the E-Glass project with several Letters of Intent in place, a bulk
sample test taking place later this year, and a technical study near
completion.

 

Hudson remains well
financed with approximately $4 million in working capital.
