Exeter Resource Corporation (NYSE MKT:XRA)(TSX:XRC)(FRANKFURT:EXB)
("Exeter" or the "Company") is pleased to announce additional and
final results from the Phase One exploration drill campaign at the
Angeles property in northern Sonora state, Mexico.
Three additional step-out drill holes at La Bonanza zone,
AD13-09 to AD13-11, have been completed. Highlight drill hole
AD13-09 is a 200 metre step-out to the east of previously reported
hole AD13-07 and 250 metres east of hole AD13-08. Assay results
from drill hole AD13-09 are as follows:

(i) Core recovery is estimated to be 55%
Drill hole AD13-10 collared an additional 200 metres to the east
of AD13-09 intersected the Angeles structure and returned 1.35
metres grading 0.94 g/t gold and 15.0 g/t silver. Drill hole
AD13-11, a 180 metre step-out to the west of AD13-03, encountered
anomalous silver and copper.
Surface exploration at Angeles commenced during the summer of
2012, and resulted in the discovery of the mineralized Angeles
fault structure over approximately 3,000 metres of strike length.
Assay results of surface sampling and from historic underground
workings have been previously disclosed.
Since drilling commenced in April, 2013, 11 holes have been
completed at the La Bonanza zone and 4 at the La Verde zone, 1.1 km
to the west of La Bonanza. Assays from the first 8 holes at La
Bonanza were previously disclosed (News Releases dated May 23, 2013
and July 8, 2013).
Notes:
1. A silver to gold ratio of 50:1 was used for gold equivalent ("AuEq")
calculations. Metallurgical recoveries and net smelter returns are
assumed to be 100% for these calculations.
2. Drill intervals reported are down hole intercepts. True widths are yet
to be determined but are interpreted to range between 75-100%.
3. San Marco Resources Inc is the project operator until Exeter earns an
initial 51% interest.
4. Copper, lead and zinc values are not included in AuEq calculations.
5. Drill core recovery of the announced mineralized zones is generally
greater than 90%, unless otherwise noted.
6. Drilling is with HQ drill core unless otherwise noted.
7. Assay intervals are selected based on geological observations of the
structure and no cut-off grade is used.

property can be found by clicking here.
The 2013 Phase 1 exploration program at Angeles is now 100%
complete. Exeter has substantially completed $1 million in
committed exploration expenditures at Angeles for 2013 pursuant to
an agreement whereby Exeter can earn up to 70% in the Angeles
property from San Marco Resources Inc (TSX VENTURE:SMN). For
agreement details see Exeter's news release dated March 4,
2013.
La Buena Project Update
Preparation is underway for initial drilling to commence at the
La Buena project, Mexico. Recently completed expansion IP
geophysics has successfully complimented previous IP work centred
on the Julia zone, the principal drill target at La Buena. Exeter
has committed to first year expenditures of C$1.4 million, which
includes a property scale IP geophysics program (completed) and
2,500 metres of drilling. Plans are to commence the 2,500 metre
drilling in early September, initially targeting the Julia zone.
The Julia zone has similar geological, geochemical and geophysical
characteristics to other mineral deposits in the area, including
Penasquito and Camino Rojo.
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.
Exeter has the option to earn 60% in the La Buena property from
San Marco. For agreement details see Exeter's news release dated
March 4, 2013.
Quality Control and Assurance
Blanks and certified standards were inserted into the sample
stream as part of San Marco's quality assurance and control
program, which complies with National Instrument 43-101
requirements. Core samples are split using a hydraulic splitter,
with one half retained in secure storage for logging, and the other
half sent to ALS Chemex Lab in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. All
samples are prepared using the PREP -31 method. 125 gram pulps are
sent to ALS Chemex Lab. in Vancouver, B.C. A 30 gram split is
analyzed for gold, using the Au-AA23 method. Sample results greater
than 10 ppm are re-assayed, using AA23 fire assay and gravimetric
finish. For silver, copper, lead and zinc, a multi-element, four
acid digestion (ME - ICP 61) is used. For initial assays of silver
greater than 100 ppm, copper, lead and zinc greater than 10,000 ppm
(over limits), the OG62 method is used for re-analysis.
Matthew Williams, Exeter's Exploration Manager and a "qualified
person" ("QP") within the definition of that term in National
Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects,
has verified the technical information that forms the basis for
this news release.

Cautionary Note to United States Investors - The information
contained herein and incorporated by reference herein has been
prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian securities
laws, which differ from the requirements of United States
securities laws. In particular, the term "resource" does not equate
to the term "reserve". The Securities Exchange Commission's (the
"SEC") disclosure standards normally do not permit the inclusion of
information concerning "measured mineral resources", "indicated
mineral resources" or "inferred mineral resources" or other
descriptions of the amount of mineralization in mineral deposits
that do not constitute "reserves" by U.S. standards, unless such
information is required to be disclosed by the law of the Company's
jurisdiction of incorporation or of a jurisdiction in which its
securities are traded. U.S. investors should also understand that
"inferred mineral resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as
to their existence and great uncertainty as to their economic and
legal feasibility. Disclosure of "contained ounces" is permitted
disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally
only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not
constitute "reserves" by SEC standards as in place tonnage and
grade without reference to unit measures.
NEITHER THE TSX NOR ITS REGULATION SERVICES PROVIDER (AS THAT
TERM IS DEFINED IN THE POLICIES OF THE TSX) ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY
FOR THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS NEWS RELEASE.
