1200 meter by 450 meter I.P. anomaly identified at Asher's King mine, Nevada USA

Rock samples assayed above 6 g/t Gold with two rock samples assaying 55.7 g/t Gold and 28.56 g/t Gold over 1.83 Meters

TORONTO, Sept. 11, 2012 /CNW/ - Asher Resources Corp. ("Asher" or the "Company") (TSX-V: ACN) is pleased to announce it has identified a large induced polarization chargeability anomaly measuring 1200 meters by 450 meters at its 100% optioned King Mine exploration project which encompasses 3,700 acres located on the Walker Lane Trend in Nevada USA. At King Mine, notable recent and historic rock samples assayed above 6 g/t gold with one rock sample assaying 55.7 g/t gold and a historic chip sample assayed 28.56 g/t gold over 1.83 meters. See rock sampling table below.

Asher's summer work program, including geological mapping and magnetic survey is designed to establish drill targets with drilling expected to commence in early 2013.

"The summer work program provides sufficient data to enable us to define initial drill targets at Asher's 100% optioned King Mine. We expect to have a drill rig on site and running in early 2013" commented Richard Buzbuzian, President and CEO. "The King Mine IP anomaly having never been drilled, represents an excellent opportunity given its large size above historic mine workings in addition to the coincident and significant gold values".

Samples from the 2013 summer wok program at King mine were as high as 55.7 g/t Au including eight samples above 1.0 g/t Au, three samples above 6 g/t/ Au and one sample at 55.7 g/t Au at a 0.20 g/t Au cut-off.  Prior chip sampling (2003) from the mineralized zone assayed up to 28.56 g/t Au over 1.82 meters. All of the samples are located within the 1200 meter by 450 meter chargeability anomaly.

GEOLOGICAL DESCRIPTION EXPANDED:

The subsurface IP anomaly is well defined and forms an elliptical zone coincident with anomalous gold values.  The rock sampling results ranged from 0.23 g/t Au to 55.7 g/t Au above a 0.20 g/t Au cut-off and conforms to historic sampling (2003) which had a high value of 28.56 g/t Au over a 1.83 m chip sample. The geological mapping has delineated a strong hydrothermal overprint of andesite host rocks with zones of intense phyllic to potassic style silicification, which carries the anomalous gold values. Within the alteration envelope and IP anomaly is a swarm of rhyolite to dacite porphyry dikes.  To date, the geological model based on geology, anomalous gold values associated with silicified zones, anomalous arsenic, antimony, copper and bismuth correlated with the gold values, and geophysical signature suggests excellent potential for a near surface zone of economic gold values and a deeper, porphyry style gold-copper deposit analogues to the Newcrest Ridgeway deposit in Australia (55Mtn grading 2.5 g/t Au and 0.77% Cu).  Development of the exploration data base is ongoing with a ground magnetic survey scheduled for early September.
