THUNDER BAY, ONTARIO, May 28, 2015 (Marketwired via COMTEX) — Source Exploration Corp. (the "Company" or "Source") (SOP)(frankfurt:4QW) is pleased to announce that recent drilling at the Nopaltepec target of its Las Minas property has resulted in the discovery of a new highly mineralized zone. Discovery hole LM-15-NP-01 intersected multiple mineralized intercepts of gold, silver and copper from near the collar to a depth of 203.0 metres. The intercepts include 5.74 g/t Au Eq over 17.0 metres, including 5.0 metres grading 13.70 g/t Au Eq, containing a 1.0 metre interval grading 35.02 g/t Au Eq. Additional and separate mineralized intercepts included 1.33 g/t Au Eq over 10.3 metres, 2.21 g/t Au Eq over 8.0 metres, 0.55 g/t Au Eq over 44.0 metres and 1.20 g/t Au Eq over 4.0 metres. The hole ended in mineralization.

The new zone occurs approximately 100-150 metres above the downward projection of the recently drilled El Dorado /Juan Bran zone – see press releases dated May 7 & 26, 2015. The grades and type of mineralization are similar to the high -grade mineralization at the Santa Cruz target, located approximately 250 metres to the east.

Composite Assays are included in Table 1 below.

David Baker, Chairman, commented: "We are very excited about the discovery of high-grade mineralization over significant intervals at Nopaltepec. The numerous intercepts and their close proximity to the high-grade Santa Cruz zone lead Source's management team to believe that the two zones are part of the same mineralizing system, with considerable opportunity to define a mineral resource."

Nopaltepec Drilling

Discovery hole LM-15-NP-01 was drilled to explore for mineralization in an area located across a small canyon from the high -grade Santa Cruz zone. The hole intersected multiple mineralized intercepts from near the collar to a depth of 191.0 metres. A high-grade intercept grading 5.74 g/t Au Eq over 17.0 metres was intersected from 108.7 metres to 125.7 metres. Higher up in the hole, 1.33 g/t Au Eq over 10.3 metres was intersected from 18.5 to 28.7 metres, as well as an additional 8.0 metre intercept grading 2.21 g/t Au Eq from 83.0 to 91.0 metres. Deeper in the hole, a long intercept measuring 44.0 metres grading 0.55 g/t Au Eq was intersected from 153.0 to 191.0 metres. The hole ended in mineralization, with the bottom 4.0 metres grading 1.20 g/t Au Eq.

Holes LM-15-NP- 02 and 03 were drilled as step -out holes to the south. They were not extended to depth due to a concentration of post mineralization dykes in this part of the zone. Hole LM-15-NP- 02 intersected 1.42 g/t Au Eq over 7.4 metres, contained within 10.5 metres grading 1.22 g/t Au Eq. Hole LM-NP-03 returned 0.42 g/t Au Eq over 8.0 metres near the collar of the hole.

Santa Cruz Drilling

Hole LM-15-SC- 11 (deepening of LM-14-SC-11 – see press release dated August 6, 2014) intersected 4.0 metres grading 1.54 g/t Au Eq, within 8.0 metres assaying 1.02 g/t Au Eq, confirming the downward projection of the Santa Cruz 1-3 zone.

Hole LM-15-SC-18 was drilled to verify evidence of a NE-SW (orthogonal) orientation of the structure hosting the high-grade mineralization intersected in holes LM-14-SC-07 and 08 (see press release dated August 6, 2014). The hole intersected 1.0 metre grading 5.94 g/t Au Eq contained within 5.0 metres grading 1.51 g/t Au Eq.

All reported intervals referred to in this news release are core lengths and additional information is required to determine true widths. Assays are uncut, length – weighted average values.

(1) Gold equivalent (Au Eq) calculations use metal prices of US $1,200/oz. for gold, US $19.00/oz. for silver and US $3.00/lb. for copper. No adjustments have been made for potential relative differences in metal recoveries. Au Eq g/t equals Au g/t + (Ag g/t x 0.016) + (Cu% x1.71)

Samples containing free metallic gold were assayed by SGS Mineral Services at Durango, Mexico, an accredited and independent laboratory, using the FAS30K-Au metallic screen fire assay method.

About Las Minas

The Las Minas Project hosts near-surface gold – silver and copper skarn mineralization and high-grade gold – silver epithermal vein deposits. The project is comprised of six mineral concessions covering approximately 1,616 hectares (3,995 acres), with several small scale, past-producing mines and a number of untested targets.

The district is host to one of the largest under explored gold – silver copper skarn systems known in Mexico, and has a production history that extends back to the Aztec era. The Las Minas granodiorite intrusive measures approximately 10 kilometres in diameter and underlies the Las Minas concessions. The mineralization controls and association with magnetite appear to be similar to the Guerrero Gold belt, which is the site of the Los Filos and Morelos gold deposits.

Las Minas is an early-stage exploration project and does not contain any mineral resource estimates as defined by National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). The potential quantities and grades disclosed herein are conceptual in nature, and there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource for the targets discussed herein. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in these targets being delineated as a mineral resource.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control

The technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Sonny Bernales, P. Geo., a registered Professional Geoscientist in the Province of British Columbia and a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101. Mr. Bernales is responsible for logistics and supervision of all exploration activity conducted by Source on the property.

The Company has implemented and adheres to a strict Quality Assurance/Quality Control program which includes inserting mineralized standards and blanks into the sample stream, about 1 for every 10 samples. The standards and blanks were obtained from CDN Resource Laboratories Ltd. of Langley, BC, Canada. Each sample bag is properly sealed and kept in a secured, restricted storage place prior to shipping to the lab. Samples are shipped directly by Source or picked-up by the lab vehicle with chain of custody/sample submittal signed and dated. The Company sends it samples to SGS Mineral Services (ISO/IEC 17025) at Durango, Mexico, an accredited and independent laboratory. Check samples are also sent to ALS-Chemex Laboratories in North Vancouver, Canada.
