Portage Resources Inc. Reports Positive Due Diligence on the Holly Gold Properties in Pershing County, Nevada

LIMA, Peru, July 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Portage Resources Inc. ("Portage" or the "Company") (POTG-OTCQB) reports positive due diligence on the Holly Gold Properties in Pershing County, Nevada.

The due diligence has relied heavily on the N43-101 report, it is crucial to rely on quantitative and qualitative information, and said report is well known to be the standard. There are many other factors to consider including the overall geographic area of the property and parties involved.

According to the N43-101 report, page 37, the following was stated:

The Holly Property and adjacent area have many of the above characteristics thought to be favorable for the formation of large (>31, 17kg; >1.0 million ounces) gold deposits.  Rock units exposed on the property accumulated in a continental–scale basin setting, and were folded and metamorphosed during the Jurassic-Cretaceous Nevadan orogeny.  The claim block is located near a major range-bounding fault system and is crosscut at depth by the Relief thrust fault and possible subsidiary low-angle faults.  Hydrothermal alteration is similar to that at Rosebud, Florida Canyon and Relief Canyon, and rock chemistry is similar to that associated with both epithermal and Carlin-type deposits.

The community has a rich history of mining, great companies in the area, and numerous managers/geologist available to perform further updates and reviews.

Portage Resources Inc. President and CEO stated, "The initial due diligence has proven to be everything we expected and beyond. The N43-101 report is very positive; the area is fertile with historic mining results and a great host to numerous mining companies. The time frame within the LOI is fairly short but with all information open and ready, we should not have any problem making a decision within the allotted timeframe."
