WESTCORE ENERGY LTD. - (TSX VENTURE:WTR) ("Westcore" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce an initial coal resource evaluation from the first two drill
programs at the Panther Coal Property ("Panther") located near The Pas,
Manitoba. Panther is jointly held by Westcore and 49 North Resources Inc. (TSX
VENTURE:FNR), 60:40 respectively. 


The Panther Coal Property resource evaluation (or the "Evaluation") was
completed by Heartstone Consulting Ltd. and was prepared in accordance with
Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) National Instrument 43-101 - Standards
of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). The lead author of the
Evaluation is Peter Graham, P.Geo., who is a "qualified person" within the
meaning of NI 43-101 and is independent of the Company. Mrs. Ellen MacNeill, P.
Geo., is a co-author of the Evaluation. The Evaluation has been filed on SEDAR
and is also available for download on the Company's website. 


The Evaluation contemplates coal resources at the Quasar deposit which has been
the focus of exploration to date on the Panther property. The resources have
been classified according to the "CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and
Reserves: Definitions and Guidelines" (November 2010). Accordingly, the
resources have been classified as "Measured", "Indicated" and "Inferred".


Highlights: Quasar Deposit



--  Measured Tonnes: 14,239,000 
    
--  Indicated Tonnes: 4,255,000 
    
--  Total Waste Quantities vs. Measured and Indicated Tonnes of Coal Strip
    Ratio of 1.5:1 
    
--  Inferred Tonnes: 9,130,000 
    
--  Total Waste Quantities vs. Inferred Strip Ratio of 1.6:1 
    
--  Coal is ranked as subbituminous C



Paul Conroy, President and CEO of Westcore states "We are very pleased with the
initial evaluation of coal resources from the Quasar deposit at Panther.
Estimates of approximately half of the overall tonnage in the measured category
and strip ratios of these proportions could bode very well for mining the Quasar
deposit. Additionally, we are encouraged at the prospect of adding to the coal
resources at Panther from the Quasar Satellite and Vesta targets in future
drilling programs, as well as confirming resource categorizations on our other
properties and deposits." 


Peter Graham, Professional Geologist, is the independent Qualified Person
pursuant to NI 43-101 who was responsible for the Evaluation and review of the
technical contents of this news release.
