VENDOME'S WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY PROVIDES UPDATE FOR   SAN JAVIER MINE PROPERTY (MEXICO)

 January 16, 2012, Toronto, Ontario - Vendome Resources Corp. (VDR-TSXV) ("Vendome" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the TSX Venture Exchange has accepted for filing documentation pertaining to the Letter Agreement dated November 28, 2011 between its wholly-owned Mexican subsidiary (Vendome Minas, S.A. de C.V.) and Camsim Minas S.A. de C.V. (Camsim), whereby the Company has the option to acquire a 50% interest in the San Javier Mine property (the "Property") located within the municipality of Malinaltepec, State of Guerrero, Mexico.

As consideration, the Company must make to Camsim aggregate cash payments of $325,000, issue 3,000,000 common shares over a two year period, and incur $3,000,000 in exploration expenditures over a three year period.

The Property is 253 hectares in size and is host to silver-lead-zinc epithermal vein mineralization typical of polymetallic deposits found within the Sierra Madre del Sur precious metal belt. Veins on the Property are host to a variety of sulphide minerals such as pyrite, chalcopyrite, argentite, galena, sphalerite, and arsenopyrite. In conjunction with the preparation of 43-101 in November 2009, chip samples were collected from various mineralized structures and stock piles identified on the Property under the supervision of a qualified person. These samples were analyzed at SGS Laboratories in Ciudad Durango, Durango, Mexico using fire assay with AAS finish, and ICP-OES finish after aqua regia digest.  Hi-lights of the laboratory analyses were reported as follows:

Results from the laboratory analyses of these samples will be reported shortly.
