Providence Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:PV) ("Providence" or the "Company") and
Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:EPL) are pleased to announce receipt of
results from airborne geophysical field surveys carried out over their Iron
Range JV project located near Creston British Columbia (see Fig. 1). In
October-November 2011, Geotech Ltd. carried out VTEM time-domain EM and ZTEM
AFMAG surveys over parts of the Iron Range Project. The results have
subsequently been processed and interpreted by Condor Consulting, Inc. of
Lakewood Colorado. 


Highlights:



--  440 line-km of airborne geophysical data has been collected over the
    Property area in 2011. 
--  3 high-priority VTEM electromagnetic geophysical anomalies have been
    delineated in the Row target area, and are coincident with a 5km-long
    arsenic, zinc and lead soil geochemical anomaly. 
--  The ZTEM survey successfully identified the Iron Range Fault as well as
    a northeast-trending fault similar in orientation to the gold-bearing
    faults at the Talon Zone.



"Geophysical data collected on the Iron Range Project has produced three high
priority EM conductors that coincide with lead, zinc and arsenic geochemical
anomalies on the Row Target Area," stated Providence Resources Corp.'s President
and CEO Vince Sorace. "The combined results from the geophysical surveys have
fine-tuned the Iron Range geological model and increased our confidence in the
Row Target area which will be drill-tested upon receipt of applicable permits,
which are expected by Q2, 2012." 


Geophysical Survey Results

VTEM time domain-EM

A total of 7 anomalies were defined from the VTEM survey; these are labelled 1
through 7 in Fig. 1. Anomalies 1-3 represent high-priority EM anomalies and are
located within and immediately adjacent to a approx. 5 kilometer-long
lead-zinc-arsenic soil anomaly situated in prospective middle Aldridge Formation
sedimentary rocks. These three anomalies may be an indication of subsurface
Sullivan style lead-zinc-silver mineralization and will be drill tested in
March, 2012. Anomalies 4 to 7 represent secondary priority targets and are
likely related to the subsurface geology. Anomaly 4 is a broad, low level
conductor associated with a magnetic contact and is interpreted to represent a
near-surface bedrock anomaly or conductive overburden. Anomaly 5 is a
formational anomaly defined by coincident EM and magnetic anomalies which
correspond to the location of a sliver of upper Aldridge Formation sedimentary
rocks. Anomaly 6 is a broad, northeast trending conductive zone associated with
a linear, northeast trending magnetic anomaly. Drilling done in this area
indicates that the anomaly is related to graphite within the Aldridge Formation
sedimentary rocks. Anomaly 7 is interpreted to be an artifact that is related to
a power line that transects this portion of the VTEM survey.

ZTEM AFMAG Survey

The ZTEM orientation survey was conducted over the Canyon Target (Talon Zone) to
determine whether this geophysical method would be capable of mapping bedrock
geology based upon the known resistivity and magnetic susceptibility contrasts
within the Aldridge sedimentary rocks (Fig. 2). The survey successfully
identified the Iron Range Fault as well as a northeast-trending fault similar in
orientation to the gold-bearing faults at the Talon Zone. In addition, the
survey identified the broad conductive zone also detected by the VTEM survey.
This information is useful in better understanding the subsurface geology of the
Iron Range area and how known target areas relate to major rock units and
structures.

2012 Exploration Program

The Company intends to execute a full exploration program beginning in March,
2012 (subject to receipt of permits) with the objective of systematically
evaluating all existing exploration data, utilizing newly acquired geophysical
data, field evaluating all resulting anomalies and ultimately drill testing the
highest priority targets. 




--  Geophysical gravity survey - it is anticipated that results from this
    work will be available in March, 2012. 
--  Winter drilling (Phase I) of high-priority geophysical and geochemical
    anomalies. High priority targets have been identified during the
    evaluation of historical geochemistry, 2011 soil geochemical surveys,
    and 2011 airborne geophysical data. Additional targets are anticipated. 
--  Field work will be completed in summer 2012 with the objective of
    bringing remaining targets to the drill testing stage for Phase II
    drilling in late 2012.

Iron Range Project 

Summary 

The Iron Range deposits were originally staked in 1897, and were covered by
Crown grants held by Cominco Ltd. and the Canadian Pacific Railway. Eagle Plains
Resources ("Eagle Plains") staked the current claims immediately after the Crown
grants reverted in 2000, and it has been exploring the property since then.
Exploration work to date includes geological mapping, geochemical surveys,
diamond drilling and a 690-line-kilometre airborne geophysical survey. 


The Iron Range project is owned 100% by Eagle Plains and holds no underlying
royalties or encumbrances. An additional 35,800 hectares of claims were added to
the original land package, resulting in a total of 56,200 hectares -- an area
approximately 11 km by 50 km. The land package now covers over 30 km of the Iron
Range structure, most of it unexplored. The claims also overlie rocks of the
Aldridge formation, including the same stratigraphic time horizon that hosts the
world-class Sullivan deposit located 70 km to the northeast. Over its 100-year
lifetime, Sullivan produced approximately 150 million tonnes of ore including
three billion ounces of silver, eight million tonnes of zinc and eight million
tonnes of lead, collectively worth over $30-billion at current metal prices. The
parties caution that past results or discoveries on proximate land are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on the Iron Range
property. 


Providence Option Agreement

The Iron Range project is owned 100% by Eagle Plains and holds no underlying
royalties or encumbrances. Providence holds the option to earn a 60% interest in
the Property by spending $3,000,000 on exploration, making $500,000 in cash
payments and issuing 1,000,000 shares to EPL over 4 years. 


Geophysical Survey Specifications

Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic Survey (VTEM)

The Geotech Ltd. airborne VTEM survey was flown in an east to west (N 172
degrees E azimuth) direction, with a line spacing of 200 meters. Tie lines were
flown perpendicular to the traverse lines (N 82 degrees E azimuth) at a spacing
of 1800 meters respectively for a total of 282.3 line kilometers. This survey
also included a cesium magnetometer. The VTEM plus receiver and transmitter
coils were in concentric-coplanar and Z-direction oriented configuration. The
receiver system for the survey also included a coincident-coaxial X-direction
coil to measure the in-line dB/dt and calculate B-Field responses. The EM bird
was towed at a mean distance of 35 meters below the helicopter. 


Z-Axis Tipper Electromagnetic Survey (ZTEM)

Geotech Ltd. carried out a 160.0 line-kilometer, helicopter-borne AFMAG Z-axis
Tipper electromagnetic (ZTEM) and aero magnetic (caesium magnetometer)
geophysical survey centered on the Canyon Target Area (Fig. 1). The survey was
flown in a southwest to northeast (N 78 degrees E azimuth) direction, with
flight line spacing between 200 and 250 metres (mean height of 277 meters). Tie
lines were not flown. According to survey specifications, a vertical-dipole
air-core receiver coil and two orthogonal, air-core horizontal axis coils are
placed close to the survey site to measure the horizontal EM reference fields.
Data from the three coils are used to obtain the Tzx and Tzy "Tipper" components
at six frequencies in the 30 to 720 Hz band.
