September 4, 2014 – Ultra Resources Corp. (“Ultra”)(TSX.V-ULT) is pleased to announce it will be conducting further exploration in 2014 at its Buck Lake platinum, palladium, nickel project situated 25 kilometers west of North American Palladium Corp.’s Lac des Iles Mine near Thunder Bay, in Ontario, Canada.

Platinum group metal mineralization at the Buck Lake project occurs in a mafic/ultramafic rock body approximately 5 km by 2 km made of various facies of mafic and ultramafic igneous rocks dominated by gabbro, homblendite, websterite, diorite and heterolithic breccia which are locally intruded by mafic dykes and veins of felsic composition.

Selective rock samples from the mineralized zone exposed by blasting at the Main Showing yielded up to 31.9 g/t palladium, 2.82 g/t platinum, 1.53% copper and 9.96% nickel. The sulphide-rich mineralized zone at the Main Showing is hosted by gabbro-pyroxenite breccia.

Exploration at Buck Lake to-date includes outcrop mapping, soil and rock geochemistry, ground and airborne geophysical surveys, trenching, channel sampling and orientation drilling. Ultra has scheduled exploration to resume at Buck Lake in mid-October 2014 to assist with establishing future diamond drill targets. Ultra recently announced it was acquiring 100% of the Buck Lake Project. The Buck Lake Project is subject to a 2.5% NSR in favor of two prospectors. This news release has been reviewed and approved for technical content by Dr. Bohumil (Boris) Molak, PGeo (BC) a consulting geologist and Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
