Resignation of Board

Vancouver, BC – August 30, 2013

PACIFICORE MINING CORP. (PC:TSX.V / HLLXF:USA OTCQX / NWN: Frankfurt) (the “Company”) announces that its four current directors -- Ernest Brisbane, Christian Derosier, Peter Swistak and Don Wilson -- have resigned from the Board effective August 30, 2013. The outgoing Board has appointed Paul Sorbara as director who in turn has appointed Adrian Bakker and Stephen Pearce to the Board. Brian F. Adams, CGA, has also resigned today from his position as chief financial officer of the Company.

The outgoing directors have concluded that, at this time, it is not in the best interests of the Company to continue the proxy contest.
