THIS PRESS RELEASE, REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE CANADIAN LAWS, IS NOT FOR
DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES,
AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OF THE SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN.
Satori Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:BUD) ("Satori" or the "Company") is pleased
to announce that drilling results from its 2011 diamond-drill campaign at the
Tartan Lake Gold Mine Project has extended gold mineralization to the west
(holes 5 and 6), confirmed continuity of gold to the south of the existing
resource (holes 7, 8 and 9) and demonstrated potential for expansion to the east
(holes 10 and 12).
Jennifer Boyle, President and Chief Executive Officer of Satori Resources,
commented, "Re-activating exploration at a historic gold producer that has been
dormant for several years has given Satori the confidence required to jump-start
activities for re-assessing commissioning of the mine, which is intended to be
Satori's focus for 2012."
The Tartan Lake Gold Mine Project's independent NI 43-101 resource estimate
(completed by MineTech International Ltd. and released in November 8, 2010 and
amended on January 18, 2012) resulted in an indicated mineral resource of
1,000,000 tonnes at 4.0g/t Au (130,000 ounces) and an additional inferred
mineral resource of 1,900,000 tonnes at 3.9g/t Au (240,000 ounces).
Highlights from the 2011 drilling program include:
-- 27.57 grams of gold per tonne over 0.69 metres in hole TL-11-03
-- 29.60 grams of gold per tonne over 0.50 metres in hole TL-11-05
-- 19.31 grams of gold per tonne over 1.04 metres in hole TL-11-10
-- 11.18 grams of gold per tonne over 0.70 metres in TL-11-12
A total of 19 holes comprising 4,133 metres were drilled during the 2011
exploration program. Selected results are presented in Table 1 below. The
program tested from surface to in excess of 350 metres depth and was designed to
expand the Main, West and South Zone of the Tartan Lake Deposit as well to
infill within the South portion of the deposit. The drill results for holes one
to five were previously released by St. Eugene Mining Corporation Limited, prior
to the acquisition of St. Eugene by Claude Resources Inc. on February 2, 2012.

Mineralization intercepted in the Main, West and South Zones of the deposit is
consistent with the historical data. It is associated with the shear zones with
moderate to strong alteration of quartz, carbonates, fuchsite, ankerite,
tourmaline, relatively enriched with pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite,
arsenopyrite, minor pyrrhotite and locally elevated gold values.
Four of the holes (14 to 17) were completed outside of the resource area, at the
Ruby Lake area, in order to evaluate the continuity of the mineralized system to
the west part of the property.
In addition, two other step-out holes (18 and 19) were drilled northeast of the
mine site to test geophysical anomalies. Hole 19 returned 0.6% Cu from the
intersection 35.65 metres to 36.30 metres.
The drill core samples were split on the property, with half sent to TSL
Laboratories Inc., Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, an accredited laboratory. The
samples are fire assayed with an AA and gravimetric finish. Rigorous QAQC
procedure is implemented and check samples, blanks and standards are inserted
into the sample stream. The core lengths are actual lengths as drilled and have
not been adjusted for the true width of the mineralized zones. The sampling and
preparation of the drill core is being conducted under the supervision of Dr.
