Calgary, Alberta - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE --Tuesday April 3rd 2012

FORMULA RESOURCES INC., 'FORMULA' (FRANKFURT: 3FR.F) is pleased to announce
that FORMULA'S management has completed negotiations to purchase a mining
property in the south east area of Zamora Province, Ecuador.   The company
will be commencing a full exporation program investigating the entire
property, especially in areas of previously identified veins structures and
showings.

Magnetometer and VLF surveying along with soil sampling programs will be
conducted to aid in the interpretation of the geology.   An extensive
drilling program will also be commenced this summer.

The 144 hectares Irinuma Property is located approximately 20 Kms E.S.E of
the Zumba city, in the Zamora Province, Ecuador.

The company is in the process of making application to acquire the
surrounding area which would bring the total property to over 5000 has.

The local geology is mostly underlain by a grano-diorite to tonalite
intrusive, intensively weathered and altereted over 10 to 20 metres
thickness. Faults and Fractures are numerous.  Shearing zones and quartz
gold mineralization and veins are precisely related to these 'open space
filling'

Underground workings of Artisanal miners on the property will also be
thoroughly mapped and sampled as they have recently produced 4 kgs of gold
per week hand mining in a narrow adit with limited equipment, which
indicates the gold potential of the area.  These Artisanal miners will be
used by the company in the underground bulk sampling exploration program
currently been planned by the company.

Their efforts will supply valuable underground information with respect to
vien structure and grade.  The support of the miners will also provide the
company with a knowlegable work force when a full mine plan is developed.
Eluvial and Aluvial deposits are also present on the property and pit
excavation is going to start very soon which will contribute to the of gold
occurrence data on the property.
