News Releases

March 02, 2012

Concordia Resource Corp (TSX-V:CCN) ("Concordia" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the results of its first-stage drilling program at the Providencia silver property in northwestern Argentina, where highlights included 4 metres of mineralization at a grade of 3,112 g/t silver (DPR-0004); 1,788 g/t over 7 m (DPR-005) and 60.2 g/t over 44 m (DPR-033).

The drilling program targeted near surface sediment-hosted silver mineralization within the historic pit area of the former producing Providencia Mine, with the aim of delineating an initial resource in line with National Instrument 43-101 guidelines. A total of 3,589.4 metres of core were drilled in 39 holes.

The program has confirmed that mineralization continues under the mined areas and peripheral to the pits, extending for up to 150 m down-dip to the east, 600 m along strike and has been intersected over down-hole thicknesses averaging some 17 m (above 25 g/t Ag). Mineralization is open to the north and at depth. Significant highlights of the program to date are shown below.

Concordia Chairman and CEO, Edward Flood, stated, "We are satisfied that our initial program has succeeded in delineating significant mineralization at Providencia, with the potential for substantial upside as we progress our exploration activities over the coming months."

The results are currently being interpreted and Concordia plans to announce an initial resource in April 2012. The Company has retained Roscoe Postle Associates Inc ("RPA") of Vancouver, Canada to review and report on the results of the drilling program. A second phase of drilling will be considered and planned with the aim of expanding known mineralization along strike after the completion of an IP survey, which is planned for March 2012.

ABOUT LA PROVIDENCIA

Over the course of production (1985-95), four shallow open pits were developed, during which an estimated five million ounces were produced, at an average grade of approximately 250 g/t silver. Mineralization is hosted by a distinctive, gently dipping, poorly consolidated, green conglomerate unit floored by pink mudstones. The host rock is easily identifiable in the core. Compilation of previous exploration data as well as confirmation mapping and sampling had indicated the presence of a number of mineralized lenses that are present below the depth of the historic drilling and constitute targets for the phase II program.

QUALIFIED PERSON

Field work at Providencia was undertaken by a team of geologists and technicians under the direction of Project Geologist Jose Antonio Cires BSc, and all activities were supervised by Dr Willem Fuchter PGeo. Mr Fuchter is a Member of the Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario ("APGO"), and is a qualified person in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). He is responsible for the exploration program on the Providencia property. He has verified the data disclosed in this news release. Drilling was undertaken by Major Perforaciones SA, the Argentine subsidiary of Major Drilling Group International Inc. Triple tube core barrels were utilized, and recovery was further enhanced with the addition of bentonite and bio-degradable organic polymers to the drilling fluids.

Core samples were sent to the accredited facilities of ALS Chemex Laboratory in Mendoza, Argentina, for sample preparation and analysis. Sample shipment was facilitated by an arrangement between ALS and Andesmar, which includes formally established chain-of-custody protocols. At the lab, the total sample was crushed and a 1kg portion split-off and pulverized. From this, Ag was analyzed by a fire assay fusion and gravimetric analysis finish procedure (FA) on a 50g nominal sample weight, and an additional 33 elements were analyzed for using inductively coupled atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) after four acid digestion to dissolve most minerals. Any ICP-AES analytical result for Cu, Pb, or Zn exceeding 10,000ppm, was re-analyzed by FA procedures on a 30g charge. Quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) samples were included with the core samples, and these data are currently being reviewed by Ms Lynda Bloom MSc PGeo of Analytical Solutions Ltd of Toronto Canada, and a Qualified Person as defined by Canada's National Instrument 43-101.

Forward-looking information is in addition based on various assumptions including, without limitation, the expectations and beliefs of management, the assumed long term price of metals; appropriate equipment and sufficient labour and that the political environment where the Company operates will continue to support the development and operation of mining projects. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in the forward-looking information. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results not to be anticipated, estimated or intended.
