Bacanora Minerals Ltd News Release dated 14 October, 2014:

Bacanora Minerals Limited

("Bacanora" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:BCN)(AIM:BCN) is pleased to provide an update on progress with activities underway for the purpose of advancing the Magdalena Borate Project toward feasibility of boric acid production. The Company has retained the services of Process Engineering LLC to design a plant capable of producing up to 25,000 tonnes of boric acid per year from borate minerals to be mined from the El Cajon deposit. The Company also continues performing metallurgical tests in order to refine and optimise the boric acid production at pilot scale.

Further steps for the pre-feasibility programme consist of:

Infill diamond drilling and bulk sampling for metallurgical tests of Unit B;

Detailed full-scale boric acid plant design and costing;

Revised mine plan; and

Initiation of environmental baseline studies and mine permitting.

The pre-feasibility studies are expected to be completed during Q1 2015.

Martin Vidal, President of Bacanora, commented:

"Following the strategic shift from lower value colemanite concentrate production, we are very pleased with the work performed and results obtained in our boric acid pilot plant, resulting in the continuous and systematic production of high purity boric acid. The Company is advancing the project through the pre-feasibility stage by completing engineering design work, updating the mine plan and obtaining necessary capital and operating cost data for the pre-feasibility report which we expect to be completed in Q1 2015".
