Exhibit 99.1
Punchline Resources Adds to Strategic Land Position at Empress Gold Project in Nevada
Toronto, Canada, September 24, 2012 – Punchline Resources Ltd. (OTCQB: PUNL) (OTCBB: PUNL) (“Punchline” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has acquired additional land at its 100% owned Empress Project, located approximately 26 miles south of Goldfield, Nevada, in the Tokop mining district.
The strategic land acquisition consists of 31 new mineral claims staked contiguous to the 9 original and 18 newer claims that made up the Empress Project. Following the acquisition, Punchline’s land holdings at Empress have more than doubled to 58 total claims or 1,160 acres, an area increase of approximately 115%.
“During reconnaissance of the area and initial sampling at the Wonder Mine, Company geologists identified several previously unmapped prospects and one additional historic mine site to the west-northwest of the Empress workings,” said Ramzan Savji, CEO and President of Punchline. “These claims solidify our land position at Empress and should allow for the expansion of our planned exploration program over this new area that is thought to have the potential to host new deposits or extensions of the historically outlined mineralized zones.”
Independent assay test results from initial underground sampling of the Wonder Mine are expected to be received from the laboratory shortly and will be released following evaluation by Company geologists.
