CALGARY, AB--(Marketwired - July 16, 2014) - Boxxer Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE: BXX) (PINKSHEETS: BXXRF) (the "Company", or "Boxxer") is pleased to announce that Continental Precious Minerals ("Continental") has commenced the 2014 diamond drill (2,000 metre - 3 holes) program on Boxxer's DOK Property in northwest BC as part of the previously announced option agreement. The option agreement allows Continental the right to earn up to a 75% interest in the DOK Property if certain conditions are met (see Press Release on April 14, 2014).

The drill program will target two distinct coincident soil and geophysical anomalies hosted in altered and mineralized volcanic and intrusive rocks. The three proposed holes will be drilled to a depth of approximately 600 metres.

Mr. Jason Riley, CEO of Boxxer, stated, "We are excited to have commenced the drilling program to test the depth extent of the mineralization exposed on surface. The large dimensions of the targets combined with the mineralization, alteration, geophysical signatures, host rocks and historical exploration results are encouraging and suggest the presence of a porphyry copper system on the DOK project."

DOK Property Highlights;
The geology, alteration, host rocks and style of mineralization on the DOK property exhibit many similarities with other known large alkalic porphyry copper-gold deposits located in northern British Columbia such as the Schaft Creek deposit held by Teck Resources Limited and Copper Fox Metals Inc.

Technical Highlights
The exploration results for the two targets being tested by the drilling include:

• Widespread copper-gold-silver mineralization (with significant concentrations of molybdenite) hosted in volcanic rocks of the Stuhini Group as well as quartz monzonite, quartz diorite, and granodiorite intrusives; all of which exhibit strong potassic alteration,
• Rock chip sampling of the northwest target during the early 1970's returned;

1. 0.66% copper over 38 metres,
2. 0.73% copper over 16 metres,
3. 0.32% copper over 25 metres.

• The mineralization in outcrop occurs within two large, copper-gold-molybdenum-silver soil geochemical anomalies that exhibit broad positive chargeability and resistivity signatures,
• The northwest drill target measures 2,000 metres long by 1,400 metres wide. The southeast drill target measures 1,500 metres long by 900 metres wide. The soil geochemical anomalies in both targets are open along strike. The metal concentrations within these targets range from 200 to 9,820 parts per million ("ppm") for copper; from 0.03g/t to 2.2 g/t gold; molybdenum from 14 to 135ppm and from 0.6g/t to 84.5g/t silver, and
• Numerous mineralized outcrops of copper-gold-silver mineralization along with significant (<100ppm) concentrations of molybdenum occur outside of the two targets to be tested in 2014,
