GEOCOM RESOURCES INC

Espolon Assays Copper to 3.52% Over 10 Meters and Gold to 20.9 Grams/Tonne Over 5 Meters

4/16/2007

BELLINGHAM, WA, Apr 16, 2007 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) --



Geocom Resources Inc. ("Geocom" or "The Company") (OTCBB: GOCM). Further to the News Release dated March 22, 2007, wherein Geocom announced the positive gold assays in respect of the Espolon Project, part of the south Chile Region Ten joint venture with Kinross Gold Corporation, the Company is pleased to present the silver, copper, lead, zinc, and tungsten analyses recently received from the laboratory.



Strong copper-silver-gold mineralization is hosted by a subhorizontal manto containing high-angle cross-cutting quartz veins and structural zones. The copper mineralization ranges up to 13% and shows a strong association with silver, which returned values of up to 172g/t (5oz/ton Ag). The mineralized zone is also anomalous in lead and zinc. Tungsten (shown here) and bismuth are also geochemically anomalous, reflecting the skarn environment present over part of the Espolon property.



The subhorizontal mineralized manto is cut by a series of mineralized en echelon quartz veins that occupy a strong north-south structural trend. Mineralization in the veins varies up to 60% total sulfide, with locally up to 30% chalcopyrite. This veining is present throughout the zone, but is most intense over a strike length of 1.5 kilometers (0.9 miles) at the northern end of the known manto.



The Espolon Claim Block comprises 13 claims totaling 3,800 hectares (9,390 acres or about 14 square miles). The claims cover a gold-silver-copper mineralized zone that has now been traced over a strike length in excess of 3 kilometers (2 miles). The mineralized zone is 10 to 30 meters thick (32 to 96 feet). The zone consists of a gently dipping altered sequence of volcanic tuffs, limestones, and argillites. These rocks have been thermally metamorphosed and moderately to completely silicified. Within the mineralized zone there is a massive sulfide layer that varies in thickness up to 3 meters (about 10 feet) consisting of pyrrhotite-pyrite with varying amounts of chalcopyrite.

Geocom Establishes Espolon Project in South Chile based on assay results.

Thursday, March 22, 2007



Bellingham, WA – March 22, 2007 – Geocom Resources Inc. (“Geocom” or “The Company”) (OTCBB: GOCM), is pleased to announce the positive results of mapping and sampling at its Espolon Claim Block, which is part of the south Chile Region Ten reconnaissance joint venture with Kinross Gold Corporation.



Sampling by Geocom crews has returned gold assays ranging from 0.56 ppm Au to 20.9 ppm Au (0.016opt Au to 0.61opt Au). Copper assays have not yet been received. Check sampling has been conducted to verify the high grades of gold in numerous samples, and additional results will be released when the lab provides them. The table below sets forth a selection of sample results and sample widths.



<techinical mesurments obmitted for brevity>



Due to the excellent assay results and the highly prospective geology, Geocom has selected and elevated this claim block to project-level status. Upon receipt of complete results, Espolon will be offered to Kinross for formal joint venture in accordance with the reconnaissance venture agreement.



The Espolon Claim Block comprises 13 claims totaling 3,800 hectares (9,390 acres or about 14 square miles). The project encompasses a variably altered and mineralized gold and copper-bearing manto that has been traced over a strike length in excess of 3 kilometers (2 miles). The mineralized manto is 10 to 30 meters thick (32 to 96 feet) and consists of a gently northwesterly dipping altered volcano-sedimentary sequence of tuffs, limestones, argillites and skarn. These rocks have been thermally metamorphosed and moderately to completely silicified. Within the manto there is a massive sulfide layer that varies in thickness up to 3 meters (about 10 feet) consisting of pyrrhotite-pyrite with varying amounts of chalcopyrite.



Superimposed on the mineralized manto is a series of mineralized en echelon quartz veins that are controlled by a strong north-south structural trend. Mineralization in the veins varies up to a total amount of 60% total sulfide, with locally up to 30% chalcopyrite. This veining is present throughout the zone, but is most intense over a strike length of 1.5 kilometers (0.9 miles) at the northern end of the known manto.



Previous sampling of the manto zone by the French agency BRGM encountered copper values in grab samples ranging from 1 to 12%, and observed mineralized bedding thicknesses of 0.5 to 7 meters.



Geocom and Kinross are jointly exploring and acquiring gold and other mineral targets in Region Ten of south Chile. Properties acquired by the venture are managed via individual joint venture on a 50-50 basis. Kinross has the right to acquire a majority interest by making additional expenditures on individual properties and by exercising warrants granted to Kinross by Geocom.

From their filing with the United States Securities and Exchange commission (SEC), they disclosed that their company in Chile is Minera Geocom Resources-Chile Limitada, and their activities in Chile are extensive:

 



All of their public US filings can be found here

http://www.secinfo.com/$/SEC/Registrant.asp?CIK=1141787



The incorporation of our Chilean subsidiary, Minera Geocom Resources-Chile Limitada, was recorded on October 16, 2003 with the Registry of Commerce of Santiago. The formation of this subsidiary allows us to carry out exploration and acquisition efforts in Chile.



On October 31, 2003 we announced the acquisition of two gold and base metal projects in Chile. Our Chilean subsidiary personnel staked both properties on our behalf. The claims were staked prior to the incorporation of Minera Geocom Resources-Chile Limitada, our Chilean subsidiary, due to competitive activity in the area, and will be transferred to Minera Geocom Resources-Chile Limitada upon completion of the claim filing process.



On January 24, 2005 we announced that our wholly-owned subsidiary, Minera Geocom Resources-Chile Limitada (MGRC), has signed a formal joint venture agreement to earn a 55% interest on the Escorpion gold property from Minera Canela S.A. The property is situated in the fourth region Province of Choapa in Chile. To earn our interest, we must spend US$1,700,000.50 over four years on exploration and development and we must expend $150,000.50 in exploration on the property on or by December 31, 2005. We had spent $80,340.97 as of June 30, 2005



On April 4, 2005 we announced an exploration agreement between our wholly-owned subsidiary, MGRC, and Mr. Robert Mitchell in which MGRC acquired the rights to use an extensive, regional database containing numerous copper, gold, and platinum/palladium occurrences in regions 10 and 11, the Patagonia area of southern Chile.



Regions 10 and 11, the Patagonia area of southern Chile

On April 6, 2005 we announced that, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Minera Geocom Resources-Chile Ltda. ("MGRC"), we have initiated an exploration program in regions 10 and 11, the Patagonia area of southern Chile. By virtue of an exploration agreement with Mr. Robert Mitchell ("Mitchell"), a Canadian prospector resident in Chile, MGRC has acquired the rights to use an extensive, regional database containing numerous copper, gold, and platinum/palladium occurrences in an area of Chile that has been historically under explored. MGRC and Mitchell have teamed up to evaluate, further define, and acquire prospective land positions in this region.



Mitchell has accumulated geochemical data from various sources such as BRGM (Bureau de Researche de Geologie et Miniere - a French government agency) and Sernageomin (Chilean exploration agency), BHP-Billiton, and others. Mitchell compiled over 1600 stream sediment and 1300 rock chip samples, augmented by his own exploration work, into a GIS database combining topography, digital elevation data, landsat imagery, air photos, structural interpretation and published geology. Interpretation and analysis of this database combined with ground follow-up resulted in the identification of over 40 new mineralized occurrences.



The 3,000+ sample database includes multi-element assays, and covers a broad range of geologic terrains. These terrains offer the potential for porphyry copper, epithermal gold, and massive sulphide deposits. In addition, the database revealed significant platinum/palladium anomalies in stream sediments and pan concentrates. Numerous coarse-gold placer occurrences were also identified that have no associated primary source.



The first phase of the exploration program was jointly designed by the us and Mitchell, and is focusing on areas of gold anomalies in both stream and pan concentrate samples, which also display a geochemical signature indicative of epithermal gold deposits. This work will consist of mapping and rock sampling to determine the potential for a significant ore deposit. Land acquisition will follow upon the validation of any significant mineral potential.



Phase II will follow-up on the porphyry copper potential of the region, and Phase III will address the PGM occurrences. The Phase II and III programs will coincide with further programs on the gold targets developed during Phase I. Mitchell has been contracted to provide logistical and field management of the exploration and acquisition program. We are pleased to have Mitchell, who is an experienced prospector and self-taught geologist, working with our company.



Our management anticipates that property acquisition will follow rapidly from this first phase of exploration which commenced last week. In keeping with the our corporate philosophy, management considers the acquisition of this database and Mitchell's services to be an excellent means to rapidly identify and acquire high-quality exploration projects for timely development in an area of growing interest.


There are repeat offender in Region IX and X, with projects also in region IV of Chile:

In August 18, 2005, Geocom announced the receipt of results and report on initial activities in Region IX of its South Chile program. In addition to reconnaissance mapping and rock chip sampling, Geocom personnel conducted repeat sampling in the same areas where the previous sample data indicated as a means of confirming the gold and other element anomalous zones, as well as to validate the database. Geocom is pleased to report that work in the 2005 season confirmed the earlier results. Samples taken in the same drainages and in approximately the same locations produced anomalous gold assays ranging from 0.074 to >1 gram per tonne Au.

GEOCOM AND KINROSS GOLD

CORPORATION MOBILIZE FOR

THE SOUTH CHILE

PROJECTS EVALUATION

Geocom Resources Inc. is pleased to

announce that the Company and Kinross Gold

Corporation have mobilized their geologic

teams to Region Ten of south Chile to

evaluate its claims and to develop drill targets.

In November 2006 Geocom and Kinross

staked a total of 318 claims in six separate

claimblocks in Region Ten, based on

anomalous multi-element sample results and

prospective geology that exhibited the

conditions to develop potentially economic

mineral deposits. The total number of hectares

acquired is 91,700, which is equivalent to

354 square miles.



Four technical teams have been deployed to

conduct mapping and detailed sampling on

six high-priority targets: the Chaitén copper-

gold-molybdenum porphyry, the Cerro

Primero disseminated gold target, the Cerro

Vaca gold target, Cerro Mera gold-zinc-

copper skarn target, the Cerro Condor gold

zone, and the Rio Azulado porphyry copper

target.



As part of the Río Azulado evaluation, the

Tigre high-grade silver zone will be sampled.

Numerous secondary targets will be evaluated

after the primary targets have been developed

to drill-ready status.



Geocom and Kinross management are pleased

with the results to date, and have fast-tracked

the development of potential drill targets on

the joint venture's claims. Due to the success

achieved by the initial reconnaissance

program, additional exploration in new areas

of Region Ten is planned.



This exploration venture with Kinross is a

further implementation of Geocom's business

strategy of developing new exploration targets

that it considers to have solid development

potential, and then forming ventures with

solid operating companies for continued

development. In the view of management,

such ventures will allow Geocom to continue
