Mediterranean Resources Announces Further Sampling at Its Tac Deposit Including 31.1 g/t Au Over Five Metres

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Sep 5, 2013) - Mediterranean Resources Ltd. (TSX:MNR)(FRANKFURT:MHM1) ("Mediterranean") is pleased to announce results from rock chip (RC) sampling in the northern sector of its Tac deposit.

Surface sampling activities were performed during spring/summer 2013 over an area of approximately 12.5 hectares. Of these the most exceptional was an assay of 31.1 g/t Au, obtained in a 5-metre sample taken. Mineralization occurs in zones of pervasive argillic alteration over silicified rock. In the eastern part of the Ugur Zone, sulfide mineralization (chalcopyrite, pyrite) is abundant in quartz stockwork hosted by pyroclastic rocks. The Ugur Zone is interpreted as having gold-copper mineralization potential and requiring further drill-testing. Subject to funding availability, the Company is developing drill targets in the Ugur Zone.

The table below shows the best samples from the campaign:

The Ugur zone is a steep ridge and peak. It can best be seen in the photograph here:

This area known as the Ugur Zone (shown in the map at link here: www.medresources.ca/news/2013/september04/ugurzone-map.png) has been relatively lightly explored in the past with only two drill holes in the area, which showed little to no mineralization. However both of these holes were drilled at the periphery of the zone (one at the lower south-western edge and one at the top ridge). Despite this lack of mineralization the zone was included in the Whittle pit shell design by SRK (the area within the intermittent yellow lines on the map) and its inclusion is substantially responsible for the high stripping ratio mooted for the Tac deposit.

It is also interesting to note that all of these samples were taken outside the Gold Corridor (the area between the red double lines), a target so named by the previous owners, Cominco.

Quality Control

Mediterranean Resources and its subsidiaries adhere to industry standard quality assurance and quality control procedures for all samples. The QA/QC program includes the insertion of blanks, duplicates and certified standards into the sample stream. Gold and multi-element assaying is undertaken by ALS at its laboratories in Izmir, Turkey.
