New Colombia Resources Inc. Engages SGS to Commence a Drill Program and Exploration Services at their Metallurgical Coal Property in Colombia

BARRANQUILLA, Colombia, April 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

New Colombia Resources, Inc. (OTCBB: NEWC) ("New Colombia" or the "Company") has engaged SGS Colombia S.A. to begin a N.I. 43-101 compliant drill program.  At the conclusion of the program, New Colombia will hire an international drilling company to drill the holes according to the plan.  SGS will take custody of the core samples back to their laboratory in Barranquilla, Colombia and provide drill hole database management services.  Other services SGS will provide include a Topographic Survey and Geological Mapping.

Once the drill holes samples have been analyzed, a Qualified Person (QP), as defined by the National Instrument 43-101, will provide a technical report.  The N.I. 43-101 Technical Report is an international standard used for the public disclosure of information relating to mineral properties; it is broadly comparable to the Joint Ore Reserves Committee Code (JORC Code) which regulates the publication of mineral exploration reports.

The drill hole results will also allow the company to complete and submit their Environmental Impact Study.  "We are aggressively moving forward to get into production as soon as possible," stated John Campo, President of New Colombia Resources.
