VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Dec. 14, 2011) - Cresval Capital Corp. ("Cresval or the Company) (TSX VENTURE:CRV) reports assay results from the 2011 diamond drill program on its 100% owned Bridge River Project, a copper (molybdenum-gold) porphyry target located 40 km northwest of Gold Bridge in southwestern British Columbia. The 2011 program consisted of 2031.5 metres of NQ size diamond drilling in 9 holes. Five holes tested the Copper Plateau zone, while 4 holes tested the Russnor Breccia, The program was successful in intersecting broad zones of copper mineralization.

The Copper Plateau covers a partly open 450 by 550m greater than 100 ppm copper-in-soil anomaly. Trenching has produced maximum soil values of 4120 ppm Cu and 75 ppb Au, and 0.49% Cu over 4.5m and 0.84% Cu over 2.8m, limited by the length of the trenches. The broad, low grade, widely spaced 2011 drill intersections may occur peripheral to higher grade mineralization.

Drilling on the Russnor zone was confined to a road-accessible copper bearing breccia body with historical results of 1.38% Cu over 30.5m from an old adit, 0.57% Cu over 60m and 1.00% Cu over 16.2m from the canyon of Thunder Creek, and 0.30% Cu over 36.6m from limited drilling. The historical work and 2011 drilling occur along the eastern margin of an open ended, 600m wide by 1 km long greater than 50 ppm copper-in soil-anomaly, obtained by Cresval in 2010, with maximum values of 985 ppm Cu, 81 ppb Au and 71.1 ppm Mo.

Significant 2011 drill results are tabulated below as weighted averages.

Most of the core was analyzed for gold and 35 element ICP with 644 samples collected and an additional 87 quality assurance and quality control (QAQC) samples analyzed. The QAQC program, involving the insertion of standards, blanks and field duplicates, indicated acceptable sample handling, processing and laboratory procedures. The drill core was analyzed by ALS Chemex Labs Ltd. of North Vancouver, British Columbia, an ISO certified laboratory.

Specifications of the 2011 drill holes are as follows:

The 11,127 hectare Bridge River Project covers the 5 by 14 km Bridge River pluton which hosts widespread porphyry style copper ±molybdenum ±gold ±silver, mineralization in seven showings over a 12 km extent. Three showings are documented Minfile occurrences by the British Columbia Geological Survey. Mineralization consists of disseminated sulphide (chalcopyrite, bornite and molybdenite), quartz-sulphide veins and an intrusion-sulfide breccia body. The deposit type is bulk-minable copper-molybdenum-gold-silver, similar to Highland Valley Copper, British Columbia.

Initial recommendations for the 2012 exploration program include diamond drill testing the Russnor, Windy Copper and Copper Plateau copper in soil anomalies, possible induced polarization surveys and early stage exploration on the Nichol showing.
