Anconia Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ARA) ("Anconia" or the "Company") is
pleased to provide the following assay results recently received from a
reconnaissance program at its RB gold project, located in Nunavut Territory,
Canada approximately 125 kilometres southwest of the town of Rankin Inlet.




Highlights include:                                                    
                                                                       
Sample # 19619:  144.0g/t Au         Sample # 19638:  37.9g/t Au       
Sample # 19626:  101.0g/t Au         Sample # 19640:  34.2g/t Au       
Sample # 19634:  49.2g/t Au          Sample # 19662:  36.1g/t Au       



The RB project consists of 4 claims which Anconia recently staked totalling 41.8
square kilometres, located approximately 65 kilometres east of the Marce
project, the Company's high grade polymetallic project which has associated gold
and high grade silver values.


In July of this year, a total of 73 surface samples were collected from
mineralised structures within the Company's RB claim area and 36% of those
samples (26 samples in total) reported gold values exceeding 2.0g/t. An apparent
strong north-east/south-west trending, high grade (samples of +20g/t Au) zone of
mineralisation was identified over a length of approximately 1,000 metres - see
accompanying map.


The Chairman of the Company, Peter Miller MIMMM, and two technical advisors,
Neil Novak P.Geo, and Norman Brewster P.Geo made the following observations
during a subsequent site visit in mid September this year:




1.  The RB claims host numerous low sulphide, quartz veins and shear zones
    varying from a few centimetres up to 20 metres in thickness; 
2.  The best gold mineralisation appears to be located in structures found
    in low angle splays off two rectangular shaped lakes, approximately
    1,000 metres apart; 
3.  The mineralisation was unusually well exposed in outcrop; and 
4.  No visible gold was encountered in any of the samples or during the
    property visit.

Summary

Jason Brewster, President and CEO of Anconia commented: "These results have
exceeded our earlier expectations and it is clear from the amount of mineralised
outcrop that we may be looking at a large, robust gold system. The Company has
determined there is sufficient evidence to indicate the presence of a
potentially economic gold system in its RB project and, consequently, we have
commenced planning for an expanded work program on these claims in summer 2012".



Sample QA/QC

A total of 73 rock samples were submitted to Actlabs Laboratories in Thunder
Bay, Ontario ("Actlabs") for INAA multi-element analysis, XRF Whole Rock
Analysis, Aqua Regia ICP / MS analysis and Au by Fire Assay with Au over limits
by Fire Assay Gravimetric. Fresh rock samples from surface outcrop were taken in
areas of visible sulphide mineralization and other outcrops deemed favourable as
host to mineralization. The samples were bagged, tagged and sealed in the field.
Samples were shipped from Rankin Inlet to Actlabs via a combination of secure
air carrier and bonded ground transport to Thunder Bay. Sample shipments
consisted of 6 to 8 samples placed in rice bags which were secured using a
combination of zip ties and numbered security seals to ensure maintenance of COC
protocols from the moment the samples were dropped at the airport to arrival at
Actlabs. 


Mr. Brian H Newton P.Geo of Minroc Management Services Inc. and a "qualified
