Vancouver, British Columbia - Gold Port Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: GPO) (The "Company") is pleased to report that P&E Mining Consultants Inc. ("P&E") of Brampton, ON, Canada, have completed a Quality Assurance and Quality Control review of the results of the 2012 Groete Creek Gold Copper Project drill program. The intent of the drill program was to confirm the historical gold copper resource at the Groete Creek project, and enable upgrading it to a National Instrument 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate.

During November, a two day site visit to the Groete Creek Gold Copper Project was completed by Antoine Yassa, P.Geo. of P&E and representatives of the Company. The purpose was to complete Quality Assurance/Quality Control due diligence, confirm hole locations, and obtain core validation samples for comparative check assay work for gold and copper values. P&E obtained nine drill core ¼ splits for sample confirmation testing. The splits were produced on site by the Company under the supervision of Mr. Antoine Yassa, P.Geo., a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101, and an associate of P&E.

In addition, a total of eighty samples from the 2012 drill program were selected for analysis re-run. New pulps were produced by ACME Laboratories Inc. in Guyana from the existing course rejects, and then follow up assaying was completed by Agat Laboratories of Mississauga, Ontario (an ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 17025ISO certified laboratory ). Results from Agat Laboratories confirm the results obtained by the Company, and a NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate is expected in the very near future.

The historic Groete Creek Gold Copper Project is located in Cuyuni Mining District 4, approximately 60 kilometers Southwest of Georgetown, the Capital of Guyana. The mineralized zone, as defined by prior drilling by Coeur d'Alene Mines and recent drilling by the Company, features a shear hosted gold copper zone running approximately 1,200 meters East to West and approximately 250 meters North to South. The mineralized zone is open to the North and the East, and possibly the West. This project is located close to the city of Bartica, a town of 15,000 people which has deep water access. Land access is by dirt road from Manaka, directly to the project area.

The contents of this news release has been reviewed and approved by Eugene Puritch, P.Eng., president of P & E, who is a Qualified Person under NI 43-101.
