(TSXV: WRP) is pleased to release the assay results for the first three drill holes\n of the 2012 drilling season at its Mineral Gulch project in southern\n Idaho.  The holes were in the southern project area in the D Pit area.\n This was one of the largest pits mined at Black Pine by Pegasus Gold. \n Results for the drill holes are shown in Table 1 below.\n\n\n\n\n\nTable 1:\n\n\nHole #\n\n\nFrom (m)\n\n\nTo (m)\n\n\nLength(m)\n\n\nGrade(Au g/t)\n\n\nAngle\n\n\nAzimuth\n\n\nMGR12-036\n\n\n48.8\n\n\n61.0\n\n\n12.2\n\n\n 1.37\n\n\n-55\n\n\n270\n\n\nIncl\n\n\n48.8\n\n\n56.4\n\n\n7.6\n\n\n 1.88\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\nMGR12-037\n\n\n56.4\n\n\n137.2\n\n\n80.8\n\n\n 0.21\n\n\n90\n\n\nn/a\n\n\nIncl\n\n\n128.0\n\n\n135.7\n\n\n7.7\n\n\n 0.53\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\nMGR12-038\n\n\nNo significant intercepts\n\n\n\n\n\n\"Drill hole MGR12-036 is significant for two reasons: one, it contains\n higher grades than any of the Western Pacific sampling or previous\n drilling in the D Pit area; and, two, it is drilled at an angle to the\n west and represents a \"true thickness\" of one of the mineralized\n faults. The interval is entirely in oxidized rock,\" states Eric\n Saderholm, President of Western Pacific. \"Drill hole MGR12-037\n contained a very thick and consistent run of anomalous mineralization\n that is very encouraging and will be followed up in the next phase of\n drilling.\"\n\n\nDrill hole MGR12-036 was designed to test the east-dipping structure\n that clearly controls most of the mineralization in D Pit and succeeded\n in cutting 12.2 meters of 1.37 g/t gold (48.8m to 61.0m) including 7.6\n meters of 1.88 g/t (48.8m to 56.4m).\n\n\nDrill hole MGR12-037 was drilled vertically and encountered 80.8 meters\n of 0.21 g/t (56.4m to 137.2m).\n\n\nSee map posted on the company website for drill hole locations, at: http://www.westernpacificresources.com/s/MineralGulch.asp\n\n\nAbout Mineral Gulch\n\n\nMineral Gulch is located in Cassia County, Idaho, along the southeast\n edge of the Black Pine Mountains, approximately 128 km southeast of\n Burley, Idaho. Western Pacific Resources Corp. controls 100% of the\n project which it acquired through staking.\n\n\nThe project encompasses the historic Black Pine Mining District and...
