Mississauga (Canada), May 24, 2012 /FSC/ - Jourdan Resources Inc. (JOR - TSX Venture),("JOURDAN" or the "Company") (www.jourdan.ca) is pleased to announce the completion of its first drill hole program at the Dissimieux Lake Phosphate Project, Quebec. The 23 hole drill program follows up on historical drilling completed in 1993 as well as one new target area in proximity to the historical drilling.

A total of 2,633 metres were completed in 23 holes. Originally planned as a 2,500 metre, 19 holes drill program, the Company was ahead of schedule and on budget, and as such, additional drilling was authorized and completed.  12 of these holes targeted the Main Phosphate Horizon (MPH). This drilling was originally announced in Jourdan's press release dated May 1, 2012, which can be found here: http://www.jourdan.ca/uploads/150.pdf

12 holes tested an 830m strike length of the MPH in the South-West drilling area, up from the originally planned 10 holes covering a planned 440m strike length of the MPH. The two additional holes tested a geophysical target approximately 400m SW and along the interpreted strike of the MPH from 10 holes that were originally planned.

9 holes tested a 730m strike length of the MPH in the North-East drilling area as originally planned. 2 additional holes tested a geophysical target 200m SE of the middle section of drilling on the MPH, on a target interpreted to be a parallel zone of phosphate mineralization.

This drill program tested less than 1% of Jourdan's 100% owned Dissimieux Lake Phosphate Project. The 1994 Drilling Report (in French) that describes the 1993 drilling can be reviewed here: http://www.jourdan.ca/pdf/Diamond%20Drilling%20Report%20-%20January%201994_opt.pdf



Stephen Wallace, VP of Exploration states "This is the initial drill program by Jourdan Resources on the Dissimieux Phosphate target and it was encouraging that the ease and speed of drilling allowed for four extra drill holes within the original budget. This extra drilling will add to the knowledge of the property and greatly assist the planning of future drill programs."


Quality assurance / Quality Control ("QA/QC")

The core from diamond drill holes was transported from the drill sites to the JOURDAN core logging facility. There, qualified personnel logged, sample tagged and half-split the core in 0.25 meter to 1 meter intervals using a hydraulic splitter. The individual sampled intervals of half-split core are then inserted in tagged plastic bag, sealed and inserted in large nylon bags readied for shipment to the ALS Laboratory Group facility in Val-d'Or (Quebec). Blanks and duplicates were inserted in the sample stream on-site at every 20 core samples. The drill program was completed under the supervision of Jean Lafleur, M. Sc. P. Geo.
