Falco Pacific Appoints President and Chief Executive Officer

Falco Pacific Resource Group Inc. ("Falco") (TSX VENTURE: FPC) is pleased to
announce the appointment of Mr. Trent Mell as President, Chief Executive Officer
and Director effective July 2, 2014.  


Prior to joining Falco, Mr. Mell was an Executive Vice President at AuRico Gold,
which recently declared commercial production at its Young-Davidson underground
gold mine in Kirkland Lake, Ontario. He has also held senior leadership roles at
Barrick Gold, Sherritt International and North American Palladium. Mr. Mell is a
Quebec native and was a securities and M&A lawyer with Stikeman Elliott LLP
prior to entering the mining industry. He holds a B.A., B.C.L. and LL.B. from
McGill University, an LL.M from Osgoode Hall and an executive MBA from the
Schulich School of Business and Kellogg School of Management. 


"This has already been a successful year for Falco with the release of a maiden
mineral resource estimate at the Horne mine complex and the commencement of an
ambitious field exploration program on our land holdings in the Rouyn-Noranda
camp in Quebec," said Darin Wagner, Chairman of Falco. "With Trent's wealth of
capital markets experience and strong track record, the Board is confident that
he will be able to guide Falco through its next phase of growth." 


Mr. Trent Mell commented: "I am honored to be joining a strong and dedicated
team of professionals that has achieved impressive results in a short time. We
are fortunate to own an extensive land package encompassing 14 former producing
mines, including the Horne gold-silver-copper-zinc mine, which has been largely
overlooked for 35 years. Our focus will be on executing a methodical strategy to
create shareholder value by advancing our understanding of the Horne mine
complex and several other targets within the land package." 


The Board of Directors wishes to thank Jim Davidson for serving as interim Chief
Executive Officer. With Mr. Mell's appointment, Mr. Davidson will be resuming
his role as Chief Financial Officer.  


Mr. Dean Linden has been appointed to the position of Senior Vice President of
Business Development and will be responsible for Falco's marketing activities. 


Mr. Mell has been granted incentive stock options to purchase 1,100,000 common
shares of Falco, subject to a three-year vesting period and a five-year term, at
an exercise price of $0.57 per share. 


In connection with this appointment, Falco will be opening a Toronto office. 

About Falco

Noranda from 1927 to 1986 and produced 11.6 million ounces of gold and 2.5
billion pounds of copper. A maiden 43-101 mineral resource estimate for the
Horne 5 deposit delineated an inferred resource totaling 25.3 million tonnes
grading 2.64 g/t Au, 0.23% Cu and 0.7% Zn, for 2.2 Moz Au contained (see Falco

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains forward-looking statements and forward-looking
information (together, "forward-looking statements") within the meaning of
applicable securities laws and the United States Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of historical fact,
included herein including, without limitation, statements regarding the
anticipated content, commencement and cost of exploration programs and work with
respect to the historical data on the Horne 5 deposit, anticipated exploration
program results, the discovery and delineation of mineral
deposits/resources/reserves, metal price assumptions, the ability of Falco
Pacific to optimize the value of the Horne 5 deposit and to outline the economic
parameters for any potential development of Horne 5 and several nearby deposits,
the ability of Falco Pacific to add other nearby unmined and remnant deposits to
Falco Pacific's current model, the ability of Falco Pacific to continue low
cost, high impact growth, the potential for any production decision to be made
in respect of the Horne 5 deposit, the potential for any mining at or mineral
production from Horne 5 or any surrounding deposits, the potential for the
identification of multiple deposits surrounding Horne 5, business and financing
plans and business trends. Information concerning mineral resource estimates may
also be deemed to be forward-looking statements in that it reflects a prediction
of the mineralization that would be encountered, and the results of mining it,
if a mineral deposit were developed and mined. Generally, forward-looking
information can be identified by the use of terminology such as "plans",
"expects", "estimates", "intends", "anticipates", "believes" or variations of
such words, or statements that certain actions, events or results "may",
"could", "would", "might", "will be taken", "occur" or "be achieved".
Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that
could cause actual results, performance, prospects and opportunities to differ
materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these
forward-looking statements include those risks set out in Falco Pacific's public
documents filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Although Falco Pacific believes that
the assumptions and factors used in preparing the forward-looking statements are
reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on these statements, which only
apply as of the date of this news release, and no assurance can be given that
such events will occur in the disclosed times frames or at all. Except where
required by law, Falco Pacific disclaims any intention or obligation to update
or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.


Cautionary Note Regarding References to Resources and Reserves

National Instrument 43 101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI
43-101") is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators which
establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific
and technical information concerning mineral projects. Unless otherwise
indicated, all resource estimates contained in or incorporated by reference in
this press release have been prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and the
guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum
(the "CIM") Standards on Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the
CIM Council on November 14, 2004 (the "CIM Standards") as they may be amended
from time to time by the CIM.


United States shareholders are cautioned that the requirements and terminology
of NI 43-101 and the CIM Standards differ significantly from the requirements
and terminology of the SEC set forth in the SEC's Industry Guide 7 ("SEC
Industry Guide 7"). Accordingly, Falco Pacific's disclosures regarding
mineralization may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by
companies subject to SEC Industry Guide 7. Without limiting the foregoing, while
the terms "mineral resources", "inferred mineral resources", "indicated mineral
resources" and "measured mineral resources" are recognized and required by NI
43-101 and the CIM Standards, they are not recognized by the SEC and are not
permitted to be used in documents filed with the SEC by companies subject to SEC
Industry Guide 7. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have
demonstrated economic viability, and US investors are cautioned not to assume
that all or any part of a mineral resource will ever be converted into reserves.
Further, inferred resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their
existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. It cannot
be assumed that all or any part of the inferred resources will ever be upgraded
to a higher resource category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred
mineral resources may not form the basis of a feasibility study or
prefeasibility study, except in rare cases. The SEC normally only permits
issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute SEC Industry Guide 7
compliant "reserves" as in-place tonnage and grade without reference to unit
amounts. The term "contained ounces" is not permitted under the rules of SEC
Industry Guide 7. In addition, the NI 43-101 and CIM Standards definition of a
"reserve" differs from the definition in SEC Industry Guide 7. In SEC Industry
Guide 7, a mineral reserve is defined as a part of a mineral deposit which could
be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time the mineral
reserve determination is made, and a "final" or "bankable" feasibility study is
required to report reserves, the three-year historical price is used in any
reserve or cash flow analysis of designated reserves and the primary
environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental
authority.


Caution Regarding Adjacent or Similar Mineral Properties

This news release contains information with respect to adjacent or similar
mineral properties in respect of which Falco Pacific has no interest or rights
to explore or mine. Falco Pacific advises US investors that the mining
guidelines of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") set forth in
the SEC's Industry Guide 7 ("SEC Industry Guide 7") strictly prohibit
information of this type in documents filed with the SEC. Readers are cautioned
that Falco Pacific has no interest in or right to acquire any interest in any
such properties, and that mineral deposits on adjacent or similar properties,
and any production therefrom or economics with respect thereto, are not
indicative of mineral deposits on Falco Pacific's properties or the potential
production from, or cost or economics of, any future mining of any of Falco
Pacific's mineral properties.


This press release is not, and is not to be construed in any way as, an offer to
buy or sell securities in the United States.
