Portage Resources Inc., Through It's Wholly Owned Subsidiary Portage Minerals S.A., Signs Definitive Agreement to Acquire a Majority Share of the Rocas #2 Concession Totaling the Rocas Potentials to Now Over 3.5 Billion Dollars in Gold Reserves

LIMA, Peru, Sept. 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Portage Resources Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiary Portage Minerals S.A. ("Portage" or the "Company") (POTG-OTCQB), has signed a definitive agreement with Nilam Resources S.A. to acquire 55% of the  Rocas #2 project "aka" concession Ruth RB code 010516107 in the Chiquian district, Department of Ancash.

This concession consists of 200 hectares and is completely surrounded by approx. 3000 hectares of mining properties controlled by industry giant BHP and is located 36 km west of the great Antimina/Pierina project that has produced upwards of 10 million ounces of gold since 1996.

Portage Resources Inc. President and CEO Paul Luna stated, "Preliminary Independent lab results indicated lower grades of gold and silver but massive volume results. As announced previously, the Rocas #1 shows potential of $2.5 Billion dollars, and Rocas # 2 is smaller in dimensions with indicated potentials of over $1 Billion Dollars in reserves, thus making potential reserves of over $3.5 Billion Dollars in the immediate area. The independent lab figures are compounded with the Pierina 10 million ounce production results, the massive presence of BHP, the Rocas #1 opinions previously announced coupled with the Rocas # 2 acquisition. I am glad to report that negotiations moved quickly after the Rocas #1 acquisition and we were able to secure the Rocas #2 concession as another great addition to the Portage portfolio."

The terms of this acquisition include a minimum investment of $50,000 USD or 200 meters drilling within 24 months of all permits and registry. Further, the additional 45% of the project can be acquired at any time for $0.675 per each ounce of silver on the total silver resource.  Nilam Resources will also receive a one time payment of three and a half million shares of Portage Resources Inc.
