Eloro Extends Rufina East and West Mineralized Zones

Channel-Sampling Results of 16.6 g/t Gold / 157.3 g/t Silver / 1.41% Copper (West Zone) and 5.63 g/t Gold / 12.1 g/t Silver / 0.31% Copper (East Zone)

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Oct. 8, 2015) - Eloro Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:ELO) (FRANKFURT:P2Q) ("Eloro") and Tartisan Resources Corp. (CSE:TTC) ("Tartisan") are pleased to announce reception of assays for 86 rock samples taken from the Rufina East and Rufina West mineralized zones of the La Victoria Polymetallic Property, Huandoval Region, Ancash Department, Peru.

Chip-channel samples from the Rufina West Mineralized Zone ranged from 1.33 g/t gold / 15.0 g/t silver, to 16.6 g/t gold / 157.3 g/t silver / 1.41% copper. The new results show that mineralization continues over approximately 590 m of exposed diorite porphyry host rock.

Saw-channels of 0.9 m to 2.0 m, cut at Rufina East, were designed to extend the boundaries of the New Mineralized Zone into hanging wall and footwall argillically altered zones. Results from these channels ranged from 0.03 g/t gold / 26.4 g/t silver / 0.11% copper, to 5.63 g/t gold / 12.1 g/t silver / 0.31% copper.

As part of Eloro's sampling protocol, samples assaying greater than 10 g/t of gold or 100 g/t silver are re- assayed by metallic screen methods, followed by fire assay. These re-assay results are presented in Table 2.

Rufina East

Fifteen Rufina East samples were collected from saw-channels that were designed to test alteration zones on the hanging wall and footwall of the New Mineralized Zone (see Eloro News Release of August 12, 2015). Saw-channel samples are closely spaced and define mineralization over an area of approximately 12 m x 12 m. Table 3 presents a summary of the analytical results:

"We are very pleased with the new sampling to the northeast on Rufina West, showing that mineralization continues on surface over approximately 590 m," said Eloro C.E.O. Tom Larsen, "which is not surprising given evidence of previous artisanal workings."

Eloro President, John Langton said, "Our road cut sampling on Rufina West and alteration zone sampling on Rufina East is giving us a really good picture of the total gold and silver endowment across the entire Rufina target surface."

Other Samples

Saw-channel samples totalling 40 m (continuous) were taken from exposures of the Rufina West Zone along the property access road (Highway 3N) and were designed to test the background gold values outside of the principal mineralized fractures and associated alteration zones. Assay values ranged from 0.006 g/t Au / 0.5 g/t silver, to 4.354g/t gold / 34.8 g/t silver, and averaged 0.070 g/t ppb gold / 0.6 g/t silver.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control sampling included Duplicate samples from field and laboratory pulp samples, inserted into the sample stream. The duplicate gold samples returned 5.71, 1.63, and 2.27 g/t gold compared to 5.71, 3.27, and 2.36 g/t. The original samples were digested in aqua regia and then assayed using ICP with MS finish. Overlimit samples (Table 2) were re-assayed with metallic screen and fire assay with MS finish by Bureau Veritas (formerly Acme Labs and Inspectorate Labs in Lima, Peru, and Vancouver, Canada).

Mechanized trenching, diamond-drilling, and metallurgical testing are planned for 2015 on the La Victoria Polymetallic Project once the Declaración de Impacto Ambiental ("DIA") project environmental permit has been approved by the Peruvian Ministry of the Environment. Eloro and Tartisan have received confirmation that the DIA presentation is scheduled for late-October 2015, and are cautiously optimistic that the environmental permit will be received shortly thereafter.
