Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 31, 2016) - Blue River Resources Ltd. (TSXV: BXR )
(OTC Pink: BRVRF) (FSE: 0BL) ("Blue River") is pleased to announce that the surface gold anomaly on the
Banlung Project, Cambodia has been expanded to 4.37 km2, with a higher gold pan concentrate zone measuring 40 hectares,
within the zone.
Today's announcement follows a previous release of exploration results on the Banlung Project dated October 13, 2015 where
ANGKOR Gold Corp. disclosed the discovery of a 2 km2 surface gold anomaly from sampling 12,500 termite mounds over an
6.8 km x 8.4 km area. Visible gold was panned from 83% of the termite mound samples in the 2 km2 anomaly area.
A second infill program of systematic soil sampling of 2,420 termite mounds was conducted in late 2015 and has expanded the size
of the surface gold anomaly by more than 100%. The surface gold anomaly now covers an area of 4.37 km2, twice the size
of the known anomaly identified in the first survey. The results of the infill survey shows the highest gold pan concentrate
results covers an area of 40 hectares. Rounded to angular visible gold grains were found from panning in 64% of the total samples
collected in the second survey, leading to the possibility that the source of this gold is within 50 to 500 meters from the surface
anomaly. Gold values from auger drilling and surface sampling to date on the Banlung Project range from 1.14 g/ tonne to 3.5 g /
tonne.
2016 EXPLORATION PLAN, BANLUNG PROJECT
The 2016 Banlung Exploration Plan calls for auger drilling the 40 hectare high gold pan concentrate surface anomaly with 1200
auger sites and the remainder of the 4 km2 surface gold anomaly with 1400 auger sites. Samples will be split and panned
by Angkor Gold personnel and fire assayed at the ALS lab in Laos. All sample analysis includes a minimum 10% blank, standard and
duplicate QA/QC sample checks.
Follow-up exploration will include trenching and pit excavation and 2,000 to 4,000 m of air-core drilling. The exploration plan
is designed to delineate a near surface gold resource that can be mined using gravity separation.

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.
