Creso Exploration Inc. ("Creso" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CXT)
(OTCQX:CRXEF) (FRANKFURT:C3X) is pleased to announce the results from the first
diamond drill hole completed on the Mann property in Milner Township.
The program is designed to confirm historic drill results and test the
extensions of the D Zone beyond the known underground workings (see Press
Releases dated September 1 and November 4, 2011).
Drill hole number MN11-01 intersections include both silver and cobalt-bearing
vein systems.
The silver highlights shown in Table 1 below are higher grade intersections in a
29.3 metre silver mineralized zone from 29.0 to 58.3 metres, characterized by
silver values greater than 1 g/t and portions of potassium enrichment over 1%
K2O.

The best cobalt interval was intersected below the anomalous silver zone. The
cobalt results are shown in Table 2.

A total of 5 drill holes have been completed in the Mann property program, for a
total of 775 metres. Drill results from 4 holes are pending. They will be
reported as they become available.
This Press Release has been reviewed and approved by Mr. Mike White, M.Sc.,
P.Geo., the Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101.
Creso Exploration QA/QC procedures follow standard industry practices. Sealed
core boxes are transported twice daily from the drill rig to the core logging
facility by qualified drill contractor personnel. Core is logged and prepared
for sampling in a secure building. Sample intervals are selected according to
geologic contacts, visible mineralization, and alteration. Drill core is cut
along a center line using a typical circular rock saw designed for core cutting.
Sampled core is placed into sample bags, sealed and shipped to an assay lab that
follows the ISO 9000 series of Quality Management standards. All samples were
analyzed for silver, gold and other trace elements at ALS Group Ltd.
laboratories by standard industry procedures. These procedures include silver
and gold by fire assay-AAS finish, with follow-up silver and gold analyses by
fire assay-gravimetric finish and/or metallic screen. Multi-element analysis is
done by ICP (ME-ACD81) using a four-acid digestion. Whole rock analysis is done
by ICP-AES (ME-ICP06) using a lithium metaborate fusion.
Blank and certified standard samples are routinely submitted with all sample
batches sent to the lab for assay. In addition, replicates, duplicates, and
field duplicates are routinely included in sample batches. Samples with visible
gold are analyzed with procedures designed to reduce the variability of the
sample results. And finally, samples are routinely sent to other labs for
additional checks.
