Oxford Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:OXI) ("Oxford" or the "Company") is pleased
to announce it has retained APEX Geoscience Ltd. ("APEX") to conduct a detailed
assessment of their 100% owned Aley Creek Niobium Property that is contiguous
and virtually surrounding Taseko Mines Ltd. Aley Niobium Project - currently
believed to be the largest undeveloped Niobium deposit in the world. Oxford's
Aley Creek Niobium property host's similar geological characteristics to
Taseko's neighboring niobium deposit and contains multiple anomalies identified
through government airborne surveys and ground based geochemical surveys. A work
program to test these high priority anomalies will be established following the
detailed assessment now underway. 


Mitchell Adam, President of Oxford Resources Inc. states, "We are excited to
begin uncovering the vast potential of our Aley Creek Niobium property
surrounding such a large and advanced niobium deposit. The combination of the
correct underlying geology, multiple identified anomalies and strategic location
make our Aley Creek property highly prospective for Niobium. With over
$25,000,000.00 in testing and infrastructure already spent by Taseko in close
proximity and Niobium prices growing at 5-7% annually with only 3 producers
worldwide we feel our Aley Creek property could be the key to Oxfords future
success."

In March 2012, Taseko reported a NI 43-101 compliant Resource Estimate for their
Aley Niobium Project. Using a 0.2% Nb2O5 cut-off, the Measured and Indicated
Resource totals 286 million tonnes, grading 0.37% Nb2O5, plus an Inferred
Resource of 144 million tonnes grading 0.32% Nb2O5. The combined Measured and
Indicated Resource contains 739 million kilograms of Niobium. An additional 323
million kilograms of Niobium are contained in the Inferred Resource.

About the Aley Creek Niobium Property

Oxford's Aley Creek property is comprised of eight mineral claims in two
separate blocks (North and South) totaling over 3,360 hectares within the
Omineca Mining Division, approximately 140 kilometres (km) north of Mackenzie,
British Columbia, Canada. 


The Aley Carbonatite, which hosts Taseko's Aley Niobium Deposit, is associated
with a prominent regional airborne magnetic high anomaly within rocks of the
Ordovician Kechika Formation. Rock and soil samples collected by APEX during
2013 encountered anomalous niobium values in Kechika Formation rocks on the Aley
Creek North claim block indicating the potential for rare earth element (REE)
bearing lamprophyre and carbonatite occurrences within the Property.


Within the Aley Creek South claim block, 6.5 km south of Taseko's Aley Niobium
Deposit, a distinct 2 x 2 km magnetic anomaly occurs. Based on similarities
between the Aley Creek South anomaly and the magnetic signature of the Aley
Niobium Deposit there is the potential for the existence of an undiscovered
carbonatite intrusion within Oxford's claims. Currently no carbonatite
occurrences are known on the Aley Creek South claim block and no known surface
geological work or diamond drilling has occurred within the claims.


APEX is currently in the process of planning a follow-up program including but
not limited to: a detailed ground magnetic survey to better define the geometry
of the airborne anomaly, as well as follow-up rock and soil sampling, and
geological mapping to identify the presence of carbonatite dykes or fenitized
host rock suggestive of a proximal carbonatite intrusion. Contingent on the
results of the planned Phase 1 exploration, diamond drill testing of the Aley
Creek South magnetic anomaly may be warranted.
