Caldera acquires exploration license west of Marjan
Caldera Receives Exploration License Adjoining the Marjan Project

MONTREAL, Oct. 18, 2011 /CNW/ - Caldera Resources Inc. (TSX-V: CDR) (OTC: CAEFF) ("the Company" or "Caldera") has received an Exploration License No. 106 from the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources ("MENR") for the property located west of the Marjan Project (referred to as "Marjan West"). The License was issued to Caldera's Armenian subsidiary Biomine LLC on October 14, 2011 and is valid till October 14, 2016. The new license area covers an area of 19 square kilometers and is not subject to the JV Agreement.

"The application for a new license area is part of our corporate strategy to build a portfolio of prospective properties in Armenia," stated Mr. Bill Mavridis, President and CEO of Caldera. "This particular License area just west of the Marjan Gold and Silver polymetallic deposit represents an opportunity for Caldera to add value to our Company."

Marjan West
Caldera's independent geologist and Qualified Person, Mr. Ricardo Valls, M.Sc., P.Geo., identified the potential target of the Marjan West property by completing the interpretation of a satellite photo kit purchased from SatPhoto in Vancouver. Mr. Valls, together with the local staff in Armenia, visited and sampled selective outcrops within the limits of the license in June 2011. The property has never been systematically explored in the past but from reading Armenia geological records and maps, the area is considered to be prospective for opalites.

Caldera's review of the license area indicates that the Marjan West property has a prophyritic tonalite as well as kaolinitic alteration and copper mineralization. Caldera has 5 months to prepare an exploration plan and present it to the MENR.

The Coordinates of the License area are listed below.

("Caldera"), is pleased to provide an update on the Arbitration process instituted against Global Gold Corporation ("GBGD") and Mr. Van Krikorian its CEO, Chairman, Director and General Counsel.

The Clastic Unit
Caldera announced in its press release of October 4, 2011, the results from its drilling program on the Clastic Unit at the Marjan Project. Caldera confirmed intercept of 48 meters returning 0.95 g/t gold, with two separate 6 meter intervals grading 3.23 g/t gold and 2.99 g/t gold. Individual intervals returned grades as high as 7.86 g/t gold (for more information please see our news release at http://bit.ly/clastic_unit_results ).

Mr. Mavridis stated, "This new development at the Clastic Unit has created an opportunity for Caldera to explore the potential of developing an open-pit target that can be used to propel the development of the entire Marjan ore field, and significantly expand the historic Soviet-era gold and silver resources."

The Marjan Project
The Northern Zone and the Central Zone were explored during the soviet-era and contain a total C1 and C2 soviet category historical resources of 405,147 oz of Gold and 14.2M oz of Silver and an additional 647,152 oz of Gold and 37.1M oz of Silver soviet category P1 historical resource. The Clastic Unit Zone was never explored during the soviet-era and has no reported historical resources.
