    TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Oct. 21, 2014) - Claim Post Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CPS) (the "Company" or "Claim Post") is pleased to announce that the Company has received a work permit from the Manitoba Government that allows the Company to engage in exploration activities on the quarry leases covering the Seymourville Frac Sand Project located 200km northeast of Winnipeg, Manitoba. The work permit is valid for one year.

    Claim Post Resources is commencing a work program that includes 30 km of line cutting plus the drilling of 80 sonic drill holes. The program will be completed in several phases starting with the Gossan Property. Three line cutting crews of Seymourville and Hollow Water First Nation members are in the process of being hired. First aid and Safety training programs have been scheduled and the line cutting program is expected to start within 2 weeks.

    Sonic drilling will be scheduled to start several weeks after line cutting commences. Approximately 60 sonic holes will be drilled on 400m by 400m centers with the goal of defining a global indicated resource tonnage for the entire property. An additional 20 sonic drill holes will be used to detail drill the initial 10 year mining area plus gather geotechnical and groundwater data. Geological consultant and sonic drill contractor quotes are being finalized.

    Drilling at a rate of one 25 meter deep sonic drill hole per shift, requires a total of only about 40 days of actual drilling time. Claim Post will update the NI 43-101 resource tonnage as sonic drilling proceeds. The final resource figure will be used in the Production Permitting - Mine Closure process with the Manitoba Government as well as to update the PEA currently in progress.

    Claim Post has recently announced an initial NI 43-101 Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 25,000,000 tonnes of high quality silica sand on approximately 20% of the Project License Area for the Seymourville Frac Sand Project (Sedar, June 20th 2014). The initial resource was based on 71 historical holes drilled mainly by Gossan Resources Inc. and the Government of Manitoba with the sand averaging 10.1m thick in the area drilled by sonic drilling.

    Claim Post has also recently announced that the Seymourville Frac Sand Project has significantly exceeded API ISO Tier 1 Frac Sand Specifications for 40/70, 50/140 and 70/140 frac sand (Sedar September 25th 2014) with, for example, the PropTester 50/140 sand achieving a 10,000 psi compressive strength plus a roundness and sphericity of 0.8 and 0.8 respectively. A 120 kg sample bench scale test is currently in progress to produce a complete set of frac sand size ranges for API ISO test-work with a focus on the coarser 20/40, 30/50 and 40/70 sized material. Conductivity testwork on the September 25th samples is also currently in progress.
