CDB Cordoba Minerals Corp

Cordoba Minerals (TSX VENTURE:CDB) ("Cordoba" or the "Company") is pleased to
provide an exploration update and 2014 exploration plan at its San Matias
Project located in Cordoba, Colombia. Following consolidation of the San Matias
Project and completion of the $15 million equity financing in March 2014
exploration activities have significantly ramped up, including:




--  50 shallow RAB drill holes have been completed at the Montiel West
    target testing an area of approximately 400 m x 300 m where surface
    trenching and current drilling has defined mineralization associated
    with sheeted quartz-magnetite-chalcopyrite-bornite veins in both
    feldspar-hornblende porphyry and basaltic country rocks 
--  Currently RAB drill testing the Pirita mine underground workings
    targeting quartz-pyrite- chalcopyrite-pyrrhotite-magnetite veining and
    stockwork located immediately north of the Montiel West target and
    porphyry mineralization 
--  Current trenching at Costa Azul has returned 75.6 m @ 1 g/t Gold and
    0.3% Copper, within a larger +200 m mineralized zone, that remains open
    in multiple directions, and now incorporates an accelerated trenching
    program in preparation for RAB drilling 
--  Discovery of the Buenos Aires prospect located approximately 1 km south
    of Costa Azul with channel sampling returning approximately 4% Copper in
    38 samples over significant widths with elevated levels of LREE's (light
    rare earth elements) and Uranium associated with a large gossan exposure
--  Commencement of a +150 sample stream sediment sampling program within
    the southern tenure of the Company's 27,000 hectare land package where
    approximately 8 km of highly prospective strike length of a major
    mineralized north-south trending structure, that hosts the Montiel,
    Costa Azul and Buenos Aires targets to the north, remains completely
    unsampled to date 
--  Preliminary diamond drilling program of the Montiel West and Costa Azul
    targets to commence during the second quarter 



Mario Stifano, CEO of Cordoba, commented: "With the closing of the transaction
and financing we can now focus on drilling and exploring the numerous porphyry
copper gold targets identified to date, and start unlocking the full potential
of the district scale San Matias Project. We are extremely pleased with the
progress of the RAB drilling program and the advancement of the prospects as we
prepare for our diamond drilling program."


Montiel

The Montiel prospect is a 1 km x 800 m target defined by a large coincident
copper-gold soil anomaly, trenching and rock-chip sampling over an interpreted
porphyry cluster and also where previously reported diamond drilling has
included: 101.10 m @ 1.0 % Copper and 0.65 g/t Gold (2.37 g/t AuEq) in DDH-004
at Montiel East. To date 50 RAB drill holes have been completed at Montiel West
testing the main outcropping porphyry and mineralized mafic volcanic country
rocks in the southwestern parts of the prospect tracking northwards to the
recent underground Pirita mine workings utilizing a 50 m x 50 m grid. The
mineralization is defined by sheeted
quartz-magnetite-chalcopyrite-pyrite-bornite veins that are largely E-W, NE and
NW trending with minor N-S zones. The mineralized porphyry, and surrounding
mafic volcanic country rocks, has been defined by logging of RAB chips and is
generally associated with a stripped saprolite (due to hydraulic mining by
artisanal miners) and saprock outcrops.


The RAB drilling is currently testing the Pirita mine underground workings where
quartz-pyrite- chalcopyrite-pyrrhotite-magnetite veining and stockwork is being
exploited by artisanal miners from basaltic hostrocks. The vein mineralization
and associated parallel structures, is associated with a large alteration zone
of chlorite-sericite-carbonate alteration, veinlet, disseminated and fracture
hosted pyrite-chalcopyrite mineralization.


The RAB drilling will continue north to the Iguana copper-gold in-situ soil
anomaly that is located +500 m north of Montiel West. The Iguana prospect is
interpreted as potentially being the northern extension of Montiel West as it
lies on the same interpreted N-S trending structure with the area in between
largely covered by a thin veneer of transported sediment, mainly from the
hydraulic mining of the saprolite at Montiel West and adjacent areas. Iguana is
a robust copper-gold soil anomaly in an area with thick saprolite that has no
outcrop. RAB drilling at Montiel East and the +700 m of strike between the
eastern and western outcrops will also follow after the completion of a first
pass RAB drilling program at the Costa Azul target.

Costa Azul

The Costa Azul target is a coincident 800 m x 800 m copper-gold soil anomaly
associated with a prominent magnetic high geophysical signal. It is located 2.5
km to the south of the Montiel Prospect, on the same major N-S lineament that
extends for an additional 9 km to the southern tenure boundary. Recently
completed trenching and soil auger sampling has exposed a large area of
mineralized porphyry and mafic volcanic country rocks that is interpreted to be
the SW part of a NE-trending elongate mineralized porphyry intrusive body. An
excavator will now be utilized to accelerate the trenching program to complete
up to four additional trenches and extend the current trench which returned 75.6
m @ 1 g/t Gold and 0.3% Copper, within a larger +200 m mineralized interval that
remains open in multiple directions. The mineralization at Costa Azul is
associated with multi-directional quartz-magnetite-chalcopyrite-bornite veins in
feldspar- hornblende porphyry intrusive. The trenching is planned to better
define the structural orientation of the veining and will aid the following RAB
drilling. The first pass RAB drilling program at Costa Azul will incorporate
30-40 drill holes to better define the dimensions and tenor of the
mineralization for follow-up diamond drilling.

Buenos Aires

The Company's newly discovered Buenos Aires prospect is located approximately 1
km south of the Costa Azul target where a poorly outcropping 20 m x 30 m (as
currently defined) gossan hosts significant copper mineralization that is
interpreted to be at the contact of a dioritic intrusion and mafic volcanic
country rocks. Channel sampling of the outcropping parts of the gossan has
returned an average of 4% Copper in 38 samples over significant widths with
elevated levels of LREE's (light rare earth elements) and Uranium. The prospect
contains little outcrop and a trenching program is being planned to better
understand the dimensions of the mineralization and the source of the gossan.

Southern Tenure Prospecting and Stream Sediment Sampling Program 

A major stream sediment sampling program in the southern parts of the Company's
27,000 hectare land package has commenced and will target as priority the highly
prospective and to date over 8 km of unsampled strike length of a major
mineralized N-S trending structure that hosts the Montiel, Costa Azul and Buenos
Aires porphyry targets to the north. Additionally, a large southwestern area
that measures roughly 5 km x 5 km in dimensions, also unsampled, will be
targeted along with numerous geophysical anomalies, including coincident
magnetic and potassium channel anomalies generated from a previous airborne
geophysical program, and historical and current artisanal hard-rock and alluvial
mining areas. This sampling campaign will act as the basis for new prospect
generation within the newly recognized and unexplored San Matias Project
porphyry district.
