Portage Resources Inc. Provides Corporate Update on Previously Announced Forward Split, Property Samples and Recent Events
LIMA, Peru, Aug. 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Portage Resources Inc. ("Portage" or the "Company") (POTG-OTCQB) provides a corporate update to their shareholders in regards to recent events, forward split information, sampling programs and other recent events.
The Company had previously announced a forward split of the shares of the Company on the basis of 10 new shares for every 1 share held, with a record date of August 8, 2011. At that time, the Board of Directors approved the forward split requiring a surrender of shares. Please be advised that the correct process in respect to the approved forward split does not require a record date to determine eligibility, and it is now understood that FINRA will set an "Effective" date for the forward split which will be used to determine shareholders of record who will receive the shares from the forward split. From the Effective date, our common stock will have a new CUSIP number which will denote the forward split shares, allowing industry to identify pre-split shares (bearing the old CUSIP) from post-split shares, bearing the new CUSIP. As stockholders, you have no requirement to contact the transfer agent or to deliver shares to the transfer agent or the Company. Your eligibility for forward split shares is automatically determined based on the Effective date by FINRA, and electronically recorded. If your shares are on deposit in a brokerage account, you will automatically receive the appropriate number of new shares. If you are physically holding a share certificate, when you deposit or send in your shares for transfer, you will automatically receive the correct number of split shares upon transfer.
We thank you for your calls and questions and hope that this will clarify the forward split. FINRA has all of the required documentation to effect the forward split and we are waiting on FINRA to advise the Effective date.
Portage Resources Inc. previously announced a LOI for the Holly Properties in Pershing, Nevada on June 30, 2011. Portage has decided to vacate any further interests or negotiations on said properties as management felt said properties were an excellent prospect but did not fit into the overall company plan of responsible growth.
The Portage explorations team headed by Elias Garate has been working and visiting the WUKAKUY PROPERTIEs, CORDILLERA NEGRA 1 & 2 concessions, and the most recent acquisition. The sample processing has started, samples have been turned over to an independent testing facility and the team is looking forward to receiving the results in the near future. The management team has also been working on the current negotiations announced and is in the process of reviewing other potential projects for the company.
Portage Resources Inc. President and CEO stated, "We are continuing on our mission statement of responsible growth, the dividend split is part of this growth. We are continuing to assess potential properties, growing our current stable of properties, and are very proud of our efforts thus far."
About Portage Resources Inc.
Portage Resources Inc. is focused on the exploration and production of precious and base metals in Peru.

Explorers Continue to Mine Peru's Wealth Despite Political Concerns

Explorers Continue to Mine Peru's Wealth Despite Political Concerns
The Bedford Report Provides Equity Research on Portage Resources and Newmont Mining
Jul. 13, 2011 (Marketwire) --
NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 07/13/11 -- Precious metals explorers have been actively expanding operations in Peru for many years. Peru is the world's largest producer of silver, third largest of copper and fifth largest of gold, with gold accounting for roughly one third of Peru's export revenue. The Bedford Report examines the outlook for the Precious Metals Market and provides equity research on Portage Resources (PINKSHEETS: POTG) and Newmont Mining Corporation (NYSE: NEM). Access to the full company reports can be found at:

www.bedfordreport.com/NEM
Peru's Ministry of Energy and Mines recently announced that from January of this year to May, investment in the mining industry has increased 68 percent, with $2.43 billion invested this year alone. Despite the country's vast resources, several mining stocks with operations in Peru have struggled of late on concerns that the leftist President-elect Ollanta Humala's presidential victory will lead to a wave of nationalizations and higher taxes on foreign companies. Humala argues that mining companies whose profits have skyrocketed on high global commodities prices should fund social programs in a country where a third of people are poor despite a decade-long economic boom.
According to Reuters, several foreign companies have scoffed at the proposal, believing that it would encourage them to build mines elsewhere and jeopardize $40 billion in mining projects the government of departing President Alan Garcia has lined up for the next decade.
The Bedford Report releases investment research on the Precious Metals Market so investors can stay ahead of the crowd and make the best investment decisions to maximize their returns. Take a few minutes to register with us free at www.bedfordreport.com and get exclusive access to our numerous analyst reports and industry newsletters.
Despite political concerns, several miners continue to expand in Peru. Portage Resources has signed a number of agreements in the past few weeks to acquire mining properties in Peru, including a mining concession near the Antamina Mine located in the Ancash Region. Portage argues that "Antamina has had the highest investment in the history of Peruvian mining, with an initial investment of approximately US$2.2 billion."
Newmont Mines' Peruvian Yanacocha production has exceeded 26 million ounces since the mine opened in 1993. Meanwhile, Newmont's Conga project is currently in the exploration phase and comprises two main copper and gold deposits called Perol and Chailhuagón 2.

Portage Resources Inc. Has Engaged Geofisicos Consultores to Commence an Extensive Geophysical Survey on the Recently Acquired Wukakuy Properties
Jul. 5, 2011 (PR Newswire) --
LIMA, Peru, July 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Portage Resources Inc. ("Portage" or the "Company") (POTG-OTCQB) has engaged Geofisicos Consultores, a well known Peruvian company with more than 35 years of experience to commence an extensive Geophysical survey on the recently acquired Wukakuy Properties.
Geological reports have been used to produce a fair estimate of the reserve potential for the Wukakuy properties which currently reflect 58,228,128 Oz Ag/ MTS. With current values of silver being approximately $35 Usd/Oz, the estimate potential reserve has a value of over $2 Billion.
Based on a review of the prior geological work on the Property, the company has decided to move forward in move forward on the project. Further, the Company has added Geofisicos Consultores, as an additional expert firm to its team. The company president, Mr. Carlos Gamarra has an impeccable resume and is well respected in the Peruvian mining community. A Geoscientist has indicated the existing data and results are of sufficient quality and promise and that the Phase I Drill Program should focus not only on seeking to formally identify potential reserve quantities, but to also focus on establishing additional reserves.
The IP (First Target Bonanza) will define that the Manto replacement Bonanza zone measuring 100 x 250 meters can extend more than 400 meters in strike length and is open on either end. The Bonanza Manto lies 700 meters north of the of the main access tunnels of the famous 50 year Cecilia Mine. Cecilia was recently acquired by mining giant Glencore Corp. The Wukakuy property surrounds the Cecilia Mine on the North and East side of the mine including the workings and camp. The Cecilia Mine produced 450 Tonnes per day for several decades until 1984. Ag-Pb-Zn-Cu was produced from Mantos in host carbonates. The Bonanza Manto is hosted in the same carbonate unit as the polymetallic mineralization mined in the Cecilia mine.
The second target is a smaller Manto which is exposed 1,300 meters NE of the Bonanza Manto. The full width of this Manto is not exposed. Ground geophysical surveys are being designed to assist in the targeting and upcoming core drilling program over the project area. The objective of the survey is to assist in drill targeting by further delineating the rich zones and other Mantos replacements of the Wukakuy property. These targets have been already identified by field exploration and a 43-101 report. The ground geophysical survey will identify many linear structures and several high priority regions of interest that will be highlighted for immediate follow up.
The survey is being carried out on behalf of the company by Geofisicos Consultores, a well known Peruvian company with more than 35 years of experience. Geofisica Consultores utilizes high tech equipment and 3D modeling software. They have worked for companies like American Barrick, Buenaventura, Inmet, Mitsui Mining, Minsur, and Minera IRL. Carlos Gamarra Preside is a well recognized Geophysicist with more than 40 years of experience in Induced Polarization and magnetometry surveys.
The Geophysical assessment will aid the company in identifying the optimum drill targets to confirm and expand the potential reserves.
Portage Resources President and CEO Paul Luna states: "The Wukakuy project is an unbelievable opportunity for Portage. The addition of Geofisica Consultores only strengthens our team and our commitment to this great project. We are looking forward to an extensive drill program in the near future."

Portage Resources Inc. Is Pleased to Report Positive Due Diligence Results on the Wukakuy Properties With Estimated Potential Reserves in Excess of 58 Million Oz Ag
LIMA, Peru, June 24, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Portage Resources Inc. ("Portage" or the "Company") (POTG-OTCQB) is pleased to report positive due diligence results on the Wukakuy Properties. These results forward Portage's intent to acquire the Wukakuy properties.
The results were based on a N43-101 report prepared by a P. Geologist under the definition of "qualified person' set out in National Instrument N43-101, further geological reporting and favorable community relations.
Summary of N43-101 report:
The exploration targets on the Wukakuy Property are a series of stratabound zones of Ag-Pb-Zn mineralization hosted in Carboniferous to Permian-aged carbonate and clastic sediments. This property lies immediately north of the Mina Cecilia, a past Ag-Pb-Zn producer from the same host rocks.
The Wukakuy Property is comprised of two mining concessions named "Wukakuy " and "Wukakuy Uno" totaling 600 hectares located in the Putina District, Department of Puno, southeastern Peru. The property is 110 kilometers north-northeast of the city of Juliaca.
The primary exploration target is the Bonanza Cuerpo, a zone measuring 100 x 250 meters defined by abundant gossan outcrop with indications of an additional 150m of strike length. The surface expression of the gossan suggests that it is a concordant body within the surrounding host carbonates. Samples from the gossan yield highly anomalous values of Pb-Zn (0.15 -0.99% Pb; 0.12 -2.4% Zn) with locally anomalous values of Ag (maximum of 7.8 oz/t Ag). These values from gossan are highly prospective indicators for a massive sulfide body at depth. Mineralized sandstone breccia outcrop further along strike suggests that this zone may extend more than 400m in strike length. This zone is open on either end.
The second target is a smaller manto exposed 1,300 meters northeast of, and parallel to, the Bonanza Cuerpo. Full width of this manto is not exposed in trench cuts. A channel chip sample was taken across 1 meter of exposed manto that returned 5 oz/t Ag, 1.3% Pb, 1.9% Zn. A sample from a gossan outcrop 200m north of this trench cut exposure ran 0.3 oz/t Ag, 4.8% Zn and no Pb.
The property warrants a thorough exploration program given its favorable geology, surface geochemical anomalies, and location near significant stratabound Ag-Pb-Zn mineralization in the district.
Further geological reporting and subsequent estimates have been given by respected a Peruvian geologist and his reviews of the N43-101 and other geological reports have been used to produce a fair estimate of the reserve potential for the Wukakuy properties.
Wuakakuy - Bonanza 50,040,000.00 Oz Ag / MTS
Wuakakuy - Caprichosa Manto 8,188,128.00 Oz Ag / MTS
Based on today's silver prices of approx. $35/Oz, the above estimates have a potential value in excess of $2,000,000,000 ($2 Billion).
The community leadership is vital to any project; Portage has consulted with the community leaders during this due diligence phase and will appoint a community relations leader for this project upon acquisition.

Portage Resources Inc. Has Chosen Peru as Their First Area of Expansion
Press Release Source: Portage Resources Inc. On Wednesday June 15, 2011, 6:30 pm EDT
LIMA, Peru, June 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Portage Resources Inc. ("Portage" or the "Company") (OTCQB: POTG) has chosen Peru as their first area of expansion. Peru has a rich tradition within the mining industry. Over the past decade, it has had a struggling economy and now in the modern era, Peru is becoming a pillar of economic strength in South America. Peru also boasts the 42nd largest economy in the world.
Many reserves have been exploited intensively in the US, Canada and Chile, but to date, only about 12 percent of Peru's mineral resources have been worked. Peru has the capacity to double or triple the current levels of output, especially in base metals.
In all, Peru holds about 16 percent of the world's known mineral reserves. Peru is also known to have the largest silver reserves in the world.
Other influential reasons for expansion to Peru:
• One of world's primary destinations for mining investment. US$35.5 billion foreign investment anticipated in the next six years (Price Waterhouse Coopers rept 2/2010)
• Several large mines: Antimina, Yanacocha, Pierina; large Cu porphyry's in the south; greater than 70 smaller mines
• Over 20 Canadian-Australian juniors operating
• Less than 24 months, discovery to production for small to mid-tier gold mine
• Attractive tax regime (30%); several years of regulatory stability
• Recently elected government to continue pro-mining approach
Portage Resources President and CEO, Paul Luna, went on to comment, "The opportunities in Peru are immense. Peru is set to grow, and Portage Resources is set to grow with Peru."
