Armistice Resources Reports Further Positive Results from Sill Development in its McGarry Gold Mine

• Additional 75 feet of sill development completed in 325N Zone averaging 0.52 oz/t (18.0 g/t) over an average of 4.8 feet (1.5 m)
• Sill drifting continuing in the 325N - #1 and #2 zones. Based on current diamond-drill results, company expects a minimum of a further 425 feet of sill drifting to be established at similar grades in the zones

TORONTO, Dec. 18, 2012 /CNW/ - Armistice Resources Corp. (TSX: AZ), operator of the McGarry gold mine in Ontario's Kirkland Lake area, today reported the results of an additional 75 feet of completed sill drifting in the 325N - #2 Zone of the mine. The new sill drifting averages 0.52 oz/t (18.0 g/t) over an average of 4.8 feet (1.5 m). This new sill drifting has obtained results consistent if not better, than previous sill drifting in the 325N gold zones.

"Our extensive work at the McGarry Mine is progressing very well, both with respect to the stope drilling and on key components of the infrastructure needed to enable Armistice to meet our targeted 350-to-400 tons per day of ore production in calendar 2013," said Todd J. Morgan, chief executive officer and president.

In a news release issued by Armistice on November 28, 2012, the company reported that it had completed 600 feet of stope sill development in the 325N gold zones grading an average of 0.34 oz/t (11.6 g/t) over an average width of 4.8 feet (1.5m). The total amount of sill drifting in the 325N Zone now stands at 675 feet (205 m) averaging 0.41 oz/t (14.0 g/t) gold over an average width of 4.8 feet (1.5 m).

The continuous stope development in the 325N Area #1 and #2 zones on the 2250 Level of the McGarry Mine is still in progress. Based on current diamond-drill results in the area, Armistice expects that a minimum of 425 feet of additional sill drifting will be established at similar grades in the zones. Assay grade data and strike extent of the gold mineralization continues to meet or exceed expectations.

The 325N mineralized area, centered about 1,700 feet west of the shaft, continues to be the current focus for the development and production of ore. Data from an intensive program of short-hole diamond drilling has been used to guide the establishment of sill drifts about 30 feet below the main 2250 Level haulage drift.

Quality Control and Quality Assurance Process

Armistice maintains procedures for Quality Control and Quality Assurance. These procedures include sawing the core in half and retaining half for archive reference. The other half is assayed using standard fire assay techniques with AA finish. For every 20 samples submitted for assay, one sample is quarter sawn and each quarter is submitted to separate labs for independent analysis. For each 20 samples submitted, one blank is also submitted for control. All samples are sent to PolyMet Labs, Cobalt, Ontario, and Swastika Labs, Swastika, Ontario, both being recognized independent assay laboratories.
