Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 9, 2016) - Blue River Resources Ltd. (TSXV: BXR) (OTCPINK: BRVRF) ('BLUE RIVER') is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Definitive Agreement ('DA') with Angkor Gold Corp. to explore Angkor's 100% owned, 150 sq. km, Banlung tenement in Ratanakiri Province, Cambodia. The agreement gives Blue River initially the right to participate in up to a 50% interest of the Banlung license after the completion of a total investment of US$3.5 million in exploration expenditures over a 4-year period. Once the first 3 options have been satisfied, Blue River may then exercise their option on an additional 20% interest of the Banlung tenement through the commission and completion of a bankable feasibility study on the property or portion thereof. Blue River Resources Ltd. is a mineral exploration and development company, focused on discovering and developing copper deposits in the Quesnel Trough Copper Belt of British Columbia and Washington State. Today's announcement follows a previous release of surface data on the Banlung tenement dated October 13, 2015 where ANGKOR disclosed the discovery of a 2 km2 gold anomaly. 'I am pleased to announce this agreement with Blue River today. The beauty of this anomaly is its close proximity to surface - making it easier to work on, and quicker to move to a development strategy if warranted,' said Mike Weeks, President of ANGKOR. He continued, 'We will now move full steam ahead with exploration plans at Okalla West to build our understanding of the depth and layout of this gold anomaly with an eye towards operationalizing the area.' 'There are great synergies here, and we are keen to get on the ground and build shareholder value for both companies moving forward,' stated Griffin Jones, President of Blue River. 'We have been looking for the right opportunity to explore outside of the traditional markets for Blue River. Angkor Gold and Cambodia are the perfect fit with the country's growing infrastructure, and significant potential as a developing world-class mining sector.'
