Sniper Resources Ltd.: Phase 2 Drilling Under Way at Weepah

On April 19, 2012, Sniper Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SIP)(FRANKFURT:A1H38M)
("the Company") commenced a Phase 2 drill program at the Weepah gold property
located in the Walker Lane mineral belt in Esmeralda County, Nevada. The Company
has engaged Boart Longyear as the contractor for the drill program which will
utilize a track-mounted Foremost MPD 1500 reverse circulation drill with a
cyclone and rotating hydraulic splitter and which will be overseen by Doug
McGibbon.


Eight to twelve holes are planned for the Phase 2 drill program which has two
primary goals:




--  To continue to fill in, extend, and determine the edges of gold
    mineralization discovered in drilling conducted by Columbus Gold
    Corporation ("Columbus") in January 2011 and by the Company in its Phase
    1 drill program conducted in February 2012. The Phase 2 drill program
    will be conducted to a drill hole spacing designed to enable the
    calculation of a National Instrument 43-101 resource estimate by an
    outside contractor, subject to the results of the drill program.

--  To test different areas of the property to determine if additional
    concealed, low-angle, mineralized structures are present under the
    shallow alluvial cover.



Detailed results of Columbus' January 2011 drill program were released in the
Company's February 22, 2012 news release.


The Company's Phase 1 drill program comprised a 1,630 ft (497 m) angle drilling
program of eight shallow reverse circulation holes. The program was successful
in extending and confirming continuity of the mineralization discovered in
January 2011 by Columbus. All eight of the Company's Phase 1 holes returned
significant gold intercepts and the results were very encouraging. The highest
assay over a 5 foot sample interval was 21.800 grams/tonne (0.636 oz Au/ton and
the longest continuously mineralized interval was 155 feet (47.2 m), extending
from surface to the total depth of the hole.


Results from all eight holes were summarized in the Company's March 8, 2012 news
release.


All scientific and technical information contained in this news release has been
reviewed and approved by Doug McGibbon, a director and the Vice-President,
Exploration of the Company, who is a "qualified person" within the meaning of
National Instrument 43-101.
