Eurotin Inc. ("Eurotin" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:TIN), is pleased to
provide the following update for its Oropesa tin project located in southern
Spain, which includes an important new geological interpretation of its
mineralized zones. The new interpretation was developed subsequent to the
Company's first mineral resource estimate (prepared in accordance with National
Instrument 43-101) discussed below.
The 2011/2012 Oropesa Drill Program
By the end of 2012, the Company had completed Phase 1 of its drill program of
211 core holes at Oropesa, totalling 45,466 metres. A summary of the drill
results is shown below:

(i) The above results exclude 5 holes which were drilled NNE 'down
structure', including ORPC 2, which reported an intercept of 106.1m @ 1.73%
Sn.
Approximately 95% of the above intercepts occurred at vertical depths of less
than 180 metres and represent tin mineralization that can potentially be mined
through the use of low cost, open pit methods.
The Company reported its first resource on October 9, 2012 (the "2012 Resource
Estimate"), as shown below:

(i) The Mineral Resource excludes all drill results obtained by IGME
(Instituto Geologico y Minero de Espana) during its Oropesa exploration
program undertaken in the mid-1980s.
(i) The Mineral Resource was prepared under the direction of Howard Baker
BSc, MSc, MAusIMM(CP) of SRK Exploration Services Ltd. ("SRK"), Cardiff, UK
and is compliant with the regulatory requirements of Canada's NI 43-101.
The highest tin grades are found in five distinct mineralised zones along a
1,500 metre long, continually mineralized structure. A further three new
mineralized zones were found subsequent to the 2012 Resource Estimate; evidence
for these three new zones is provided by the discovery drill intercepts shown

Oropesa's Tin Deposits
In its October 9, 2012 press release, the Company revealed that it had not been
possible to demonstrate continuity of mineralization between many of the high
grade intercepts at Oropesa and therefore they had to be treated as isolated
intercepts, which made a negligible contribution to both the tonnage and the tin
content in the 2012 Resource Estimate.
A re-assessment of the geology at Oropesa was undertaken during the final
quarter of 2012, which resulted in the following conclusions:
1. Oropesa's style of tin mineralization is probably unique.
2. The tin mineralization at Oropesa is typically found in recumbent folds
- see Schematic 1.
To view Schematic 1 - Oropesa: Line 3 Cross Section, please visit the following
link: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/854432fig1.pdf.
3. The best tin mineralization at Oropesa is usually found as large,
crescent shaped structures at the closed end of the recumbent folds -
See Schematic 2.
To view Schematic 2 - Oropesa: Cross Section Through a Typical Mineralized
Structure, please visit the following link:
http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/854432fig2.pdf.
4. The tin mineralization so far found is almost exclusively hosted in the
transition zone between coarse, feldspar rich, quartzites and pebble
conglomerates.
5. Tin mineralization is sometimes found in multiple, cross cutting
(anastomosing) structures.
6. The 1,500 metre long, WNW/ESE trending, zone of mineralization is cut by
modest N/S faults, approximately once every 150-200 metres.
Tin mineralization, other than in metallurgically complex skarns, is typically
found following a fault, or fracture system, down to its original granite tin
source. As the schematics demonstrate, Oropesa's unusual mineralization zones
are found in large, intensely folded, structures. These zones may represent part
of a stacked sequence of structures continuing down to a hidden granite located
at depth.
Not surprisingly, problems were often encountered in demonstrating continuity of
high grade mineralization in the wireframe model used for the 2012 Resource
Estimate. This was mainly due to: i) relatively wide drill spacings, ii) the
irregular crescent shape of the mineralization, and iii) difficulties in
interpreting the continuation of the tin bearing structures across oblique N/S
faults.
Demonstrating continuity of mineralization is an essential pre-requisite for an
accurate resource calculation. Based on the new interpretation, a new wireframe
model is now close to completion, which demonstrates better continuity of the
high grade drill intercepts, and has formed the basis for a proposed 30 hole
infill drilling program.
2013's Exploration Targets
In addition to the comprehensive infill drilling program designed for 2013, the
Company is also planning the following:
1. A modest drill program to test for the eastern and western extensions of
the known tin deposits at Oropesa.
2. An as yet undetermined number of drill holes to test the tin anomalies
encountered in the recently completed 6.75km2 (542 samples) soil
sampling program.
3. Three deep (+300 metres) holes to test for the presence of stacked
deposits of 'Oropesa-style' tin mineralization at depth.
4. Anomalous tin values have been located in stream sediment sampling over
an area exceeding 25km2around Oropesa. The Company intends follow up
soil sampling programs in areas of potential tin promise.
Conclusion
Peter Miller, Eurotin's President & CEO comments: "The results of the successful
2011/12 drill program are shown below and clearly demonstrate the Oropesa
district hosts a major tin mineralization event. Now that we understand its
geology, a major and significant milestone has been achieved in our plans to
develop a major, open pit, mining operation by mid-2016. The next step, planned
for third quarter 2013, will be to prepare a new resource estimate, which should
more accurately reflect Oropesa's unusual geological structures."

Assay and QA/QC Methodology for Oropesa Drill Core
All core produced is taken daily from each drill site to the Company's secure
facility in Fuente Obejuna, where it is logged by the Company's geologists. This
process takes place under the supervision of Qualified Person Victor Guerrero
Merino, Euro.Geol.
The core, usually of around one metre length, which is chosen by the Company's
geologists for assaying, is then cut in half either at the Company's own
facilities at Fuente Obejuna or at ALS Chemex's sample preparation facility in
Seville in southern Spain.
At the ALS Chemex facility, the cut core is logged into the in house LIMS
tracking system, after which each sample is prepared using procedure code 'Prep
31'. This procedure involves the drying, weighing and fine crushing to 70%
passing -2mm. A 250g split of the crushed material is then pulverised to greater
than 85% passing 75 microns. Samples are then shipped by bonded courier to
Vancouver for analysis.
In Vancouver, ALS Chemex procedure ME-XRF10 is used for tin analysis and
ME-ICP61 for multi-element (33) analysis. The ME-XRF10 procedure uses 0.9g of
calcined sample pulp, which is mixed with 4.5g of lithium tetraborate and 4.5g
of lithium metaborate. This mixture is then fused at 1,100 degrees C to produce
a flat molten disc, which is subsequently analysed by XRF spectrometry. ALS
Chemex analyses its own standard samples and blanks, plus duplicates, within
each set of samples provided by the Company. The Company has recently introduced
its own blanks and standards as a further means of checking the accuracy of the
assay results. One in every 15 samples analysed by ALS Chemex is then sent to
SGS's laboratories in Cornwall, UK, for check assaying for tin. The Company
keeps all its sample pulps and rejects in locked steel containers at its secure
storage facility in Fuente Obejuna.
The Company recently completed a new check assay program using five certified
laboratories. The pulp sample composites used had varying tin grades; the
accuracy of the results obtained was within acceptable parameters.
Mr. Victor Guerrero Merino, an independent geological consultant and a Qualified
Person pursuant to NI 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical
information in this news release on behalf of the Company.
