2013

THUNDER BAY, ON, Jan. 9, 2013 – Kesselrun Resources Ltd. (TSXV:KES) ("Kesselrun") is pleased to announce the initial results from its ongoing diamond drilling program at its flagship Bluffpoint project in Northwestern Ontario.

Highlights include:

• 0.91 g/t Au over 21.7 m., including 1.24 g/t Au over 14.3 m, and including 9.28 g/t Au over 0.7 m.
• 0.90 g/t Au over 11.0 m., including 1.14 g/t Au over 7.9 m.
• 0.70 g/t Au over 10.0 m., including 0.86 g/t Au over 6.0 m.

Nine drill holes have been completed to date totalling 1,762 metres of the ongoing drill program.  Widespread alteration including quartz, albite, chlorite, carbonate, hematite, magnetite and pyrite has been encountered throughout all holes drilled to date.

The drill program was designed to test several geological models of the Homestake zone developed utilizing historic results and results from the 2012 surface exploration program.  The results have allowed us to build our 3D knowledge of the property and develop a stronger model to continue drilling.

Michael Thompson, P. Geo., President & CEO of Kesselrun commented, “These initial results are very encouraging and have been instrumental in the ongoing development of the mineralization model.  Further drilling is already underway and will be focused on determining strike and depth extents of the mineralization intersected to date.”

The Bluffpoint project consists of 103 mining claims covering 22,512 hectares in Northwest Ontario's Wabigoon Subprovince, host to several recent gold discoveries such as Osisko's (TSX:OSK)  Hammond Reef Project and Rainy River’s (TSX:RR) Rainy River Project. Accessible year round by a network of well-maintained logging roads, Bluffpoint offers low cost exploration in an emerging prolific gold district.
