Blue River Resources Ltd. ("Blue River" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:BXR) is
pleased to announce the receipt of mineral assays from its Castle Copper
Project, located 12 kilometres north of Princeton BC and 25 km north of the
36,000 tonne per day Copper Mountain Mine.


The Company's initial diamond drill program at the Castle Project intersected
copper mineralization in 8 holes of the 10 holes recovered. The 2011 Castle
Project drill program totalled 3720 feet over 12 holes. The Castle Project
covers approximately 20,000 acres.


Diamond drill hole BXR-11-4, intersected 43 metres grading 0.16% copper from 19
meters to 60 meters. Hole BXR-11-7 intersected 90 meters grading 0.09% copper
from 29 meters to 119 meters and hole BXR-11-9 intersected 201 meters grading
0.04% from 30 meters to 228 meters. The present cut-off grade at the nearby
Copper Mountain Mine is 0.1% copper.


The Castle Property is mainly underlain by basaltic and andesitic flows of the
Upper Triassic Nicola Group. The Nicola volcanic rocks strike in a northwest
direction and are in contact with a Middle Jurrasic-age grandiorite Osprey Lake
Batholith on the property. Outcrop on the property is restricted to high ridges
exposed to the north of Christian Creek.


Assay results from this drill program are as follows:

President Griffin Jones states: "We are very encouraged that the initial diamond
drill program on the Castle Copper Project resulted in copper mineralization in
8 of 10 holes that were recovered. BXR Hole 11-9 is also exciting due to its 600
foot intersection and the consistency of the porphyry-style mineralization. This
gives us an excellent starting point for further exploration and drilling in
2012."


The company employs a quality assurance/quality control program that employs
introduction of certified analytical standards and blanks as well as secure
sample chain of custody of samples from drill to laboratory. Technical
