SMN Sun Summit Minerals Corp

San Marco Resources Inc. ("San Marco" or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE:SMN) is
pleased to report that the first hole of the initial drill program at the La
Buena project, Mexico, has commenced. This initial drill program is targeting
the Julia zone at La Buena, which hosts a large scale, geophysical target,
elevated rock geochemistry and prospective geology. 


The La Buena property consists of an 8,500 hectare land package located in an
active mining region within northern Zacatecas State, Mexico. The property is 5
km north of Goldcorp's La Negra/Noche Buena deposit and 9 km north of its
Penasquito mine. The Julia zone has similar geological, geochemical and
geophysical characteristics to other mineral deposits in the area, including
Penasquito and Camino Rojo.


A recently completed property wide 3D IP geophysics program conducted by SJ
Geophysics has reconfirmed that the Julia zone is host to the strongest near
surface IP chargeability anomaly identified to date. The survey covered an area
of over 35 km2 on the La Buena property and outlined a series of potentially new
areas of mineralization. The program successfully incorporated IP data from 2010
and 2011 with the new 3D IP data to develop a model that provides near surface
resolution and additional information about the depth extent of the geophysical
anomalies in the area. Work to date indicates that the Julia zone high
chargeability anomaly is as close as 75 metres ("m") to surface and extends
beyond 400 m vertically. The zone is also associated with a series of
intersecting structures, and coincident elevated surface geochemistry (gold,
silver, base metals). 


Two areas at the Julia zone have been identified for initial drill testing. The
first drill hole is designed to test a coincident chargeability high, low
resistivity feature situated within the central region of a higher resistive
zone rimming a topographical high feature. The second drill hole planned will
target intersecting structural lineaments broadly associated with high
chargeability zones. In addition, magnetic data reveals the presence of an
elevated magnetic anomaly which appears to surround the central chargeability
high. Furthermore, the region to the east of the Julia zone has been identified
as having potential for additional drill targets.

The current 2,500 m drill program underway at La Buena is expected to be
completed in Q4/13. Assay results are expected to be released following the
completion of a series of drill holes. Exeter Resource Corp. (TSX:XRC)(NYSE
MKT:XRA) has the option to earn 60% in the La Buena property from San Marco and
has committed to first year expenditures of C$1.4 million, which includes the
now completed property scale IP geophysics program and the 2,500 m of drilling
that is currently underway. San Marco is responsible for conducting exploration
activities. For agreement details, see the Company's news release dated March 4,
2013.

this news release has been approved, by San Marco's CEO, Robert D. Willis, P.
