Vancouver, B.C., March 5, 2013 - Condor Resources Inc. - (“Condor” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: CN) is pleased to announce that drilling commenced at the Cristal project in northern Chile on the weekend of March 2, 2013.

Condor was advised by BHP Billiton on Monday March 4th that drilling of the first hole at Cristal had reached a depth of over 180m, of a targeted depth of 900m. As reported February 4, 2013, BHP Billiton conducted an airborne geophysical survey in late 2012 that encompassed Condor’s 46 sq km Cristal project in northern Chile. Under an agreement dated October 5, 2012, BHP Billiton can earn a 65% interest at Cristal with the expenditure of US$18 million over 4 years.

This area of the Chilean porphyry copper belt has been an area of increased activity recently. Anglo American is the holder of record on the concessions immediately south of Cristal, and were reported to be drilling there in late 2012.
