Sniper Resources - Gute Einstiegschance!!

The Founder and President is Mr.Scott D. Baxter, who was also President and CEO of Tone Resources Ltd. (TNS.V),which was acquired by Robert McEwen's US Gold Corp.(UXG). Scott was the founder of Tone Resources and was responsible for the funding of the company. He has over 20 years experience in gold exploration in Nevada.

Sniper's co-founder and Vice President of Exploration is Douglas H. McGibbon, formerly Chief Geologist with Rayrock Mines, Inc. and Glamis Gold's (now Goldcorp) Marigold Mining Company. Doug is credited with discovering more than 10 million ounces Au, and has 27 years of exploration experience in the Nevada gold country.

Sniper presently controls three properties, which are known as Overland Pass, Guild, and ReHot. In total they comprise a total of 218 lode mining claims, or about 4360 acres. Each of the properties has excellent potential for hosting economic deposits.

Overland Pass is located about 60 miles south of Elko, on the Carlin Trend and immediately adjacent to Barrick's multi-million ounce Bald Mountain Mine, which is presently in operation as well as being the focus of recently-expanded exploration activity by Barrick.

Guild is about 50 miles east of Tonopah, and is also a Carlin-type target, with ore grade Au in jasperoid present at both ends of the property and geochemistry suggests a Carlin-type mineralizing system.

The ReHot Claims are wholly owned by Sniper. They are located in the Hot Spring Range north of Golconda, between the Pinson and Getchell Mines (actively being explored and mined respectively) on the east, and the Dutch Flat area to the west, which has recently been drilled by Piedmont Mining. It is more a wildcat prospect than the above properties, but also has potential for both distal-disseminated and deeper Carlin-type mineralization.

Nevada - Favorable to Mining and Investors
Sniper Resources focus is on gold exploration in Nevada - a world-famous and mining-friendly state. In 2003, approximately 7 million ounces of gold were produced in Nevada, placing Nevada third behind politically unstable South Africa, and Australia. In Nevada, a commitment of capital by major mining companies and global investors has been evident over the last twenty years. This has led to the development and expansion of mines such as Goldstrike/Betze-Post, Meikle, Pipeline, Round Mountain, Twin Creeks and Gold Quarry. Installation of technologically advanced processing capabilities has dramatically improved the infrastructure in Nevada for recovery of gold from a variety of ore types.

Exploration Competitors are Returning
The decline of the gold price through 2001 caused mining company exploration budgets to contract. This significantly slowed the pace of new discoveries throughout the world. The majors largely focused on corporate acquisitions and limited exploration to extensions of known deposits near existing operations. An ever-increasing deficiency of quality early and mid-stage properties developed. Opportunity existed for an efficient and effective exploration team, such as Sniper Resources, to acquire and advance quality gold prospects in the prolific north-central Nevada region. Sniper Resources took advantage of this opportunity, and continues to take advantage of this opportunity through the acquisition and exploration of quality prospects located within the major gold trends in Nevada. Sniper Resources now controls four individual projects. All Sniper Resources acquisitions were based on positive geological information indicating the possible presence of one or more large gold deposits

Sniper European Response Very Positive


Scott Baxter, President and CEO of Sniper Resources Ltd, has just returned from an encouraging trip to Frankfurt, Germany. The purpose of Mr. Baxter's trip was to create awareness of the Sniper Resources story to a commonly receptive European audience. After one of Scott's appearances at a firm in Frankfurt, he was requested to return so that pictures could be taken with him and the firm's employees and top investors. The group in Frankfurt were the most sophisticated investors ever encountered by Sniper Resources Management.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 24, 2011) - Sniper Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SIP) (the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of its drill program at the Guild Property.

Ten holes accessible to a truck mounted rig were drilled in December 2010 and January 2011. Eleven additional holes were drilled during February and March 2011 using a track mounted MPD-1500 drill rig owned by Boart-Longyear, of Elko, Nevada. The total footage drilled during the program is 11,810, or 3,600 m.

Samples were submitted to ALS-Chemex for assaying by Fire with AA finish, and selected samples were submitted for geochemical analysis. All results have been received for GI-01 through GI-17, partial results for GI-18 and -19, and all results for GI-20 and -21 are pending. Check assays will be performed once all initial results from the samples plus selected fill-ins have been received as well as the geochemical results.

Summary of drilling results to date:

Three holes (GI-11, -16, and -17) were drilled in an area (the Trench Zone) that has returned up to 1,105 ppb (0.032 oz/ton) Au in a surface grab sample that was taken previously by Sniper. Assay values for significant lengths in these holes are similar to gold values that are being processed by many run of mine heap leach operations in Nevada presently. The rocks in the holes are well oxidized and mineralization begins at surface. Indicator elements typical of "Carlin type" deposits are highly anomalous in the holes as well, and vein barite is present on the surface.

The results from these holes were very encouraging and leave the mineralized zone open along strike and possibly to the southeast towards GI-02, which had a 120 foot long slightly gold anomalous intercept from 245'-365' that was reported during January. Further drilling is strongly warranted based upon the results from these holes, summarized in the Table that follows.

Holes GI-20 and GI-21 were drilled to test an isolated exposure of Paleozoic rocks cropping out in Tertiary volcanics on the northwest edge of the property. Results are pending, but samples collected on the surface during drilling returned up to 0.018 oz Au/ton.

A group of holes designed to test geophysics-indicated high-angle structure targets beneath Tertiary volcanic cover (GI-01, -06, -08, -13, and -14) show that in places at least the volcanic cover is deeper than anticipated, and it appears to define a northwest-trending paleovalley with fairly steep sides. However it is likely that there are buried paleohighs on the bedrock surface within the valley, with steep topography similar to that exposed nearby. A few holes planned for this area were deferred in order to drill additional holes from other permitted sites.

One such additional hole (GI-15) was drilled at an angle back to the northeast from the same site as GI-14, which was directed to the west. This hole was designed to explore for the edge of the paleovalley, and it encountered a 10 foot zone of low (0.005 oz Au/ton) gold values and some anomalous indicator element geochemistry in the basement Paleozoic sedimentary rocks. This intercept leaves a large area open toward the original discovery area of the Guild claims. Further drilling is being planned for this area.

Holes GI-05 and GI-12 were drilled on exposures of favourable Paleozoic rock south of the original discovery outcrops but neither encountered significant gold grades.

A few more holes not previously reported (GI-07, -09, -10, -18 and -19) were drilled on the southern part of the property, in a large exposure of Roberts Mountains Formation, which is a major host rock in northern Nevada. The first three of these were not significantly mineralized, but only partial results have been received from GI-18 and -19.

The Guild Property

The Guild property is a Carlin-type gold occurrence located in Nye County, Nevada. Significant surface sample gold values are hosted by Paleozoic rocks at the northern and southern ends of the property and are separated by a Tertiary volcanic-covered area. One or more major through-going structures are thought to be present that may have served as feeders for the surface mineralization. The area of an additional western window through the volcanics that exposes the Paleozoic rocks also has highly anomalous indicator elements plus gold in surface sampling.

Details on the Company's Guild property are set forth in the Company's prospectus dated July 15, 2010 and in the technical report referred to therein, all of which are available on the SEDAR website (www.sedar.com).
