VANCOUVER, March 26, 2013 - Waterloo Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:WAT) ("Waterloo" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, further to its press release of February 25, 2013 whereby it announced, amongst other items, the proposed reverse take-over transaction (the "RTO") with Lowell Copper Inc. ("Lowell Copper") and the concurrent financing (the "Concurrent Financing") to issue up to 7,142,857 units of Waterloo (each a "Unit") at a price of $0.70 per Unit for gross proceeds of $5,000,000, it is increasing the size of the Concurrent Financing.


Increase to Concurrent Financing

The Company advises that the Concurrent Financing, to be conducted on a private placement basis, will be increased to up to 14,285,715 Units at a price of $0.70 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to $10,000,000. A portion of the Concurrent Financing will be conducted on a non-brokered private placement basis, whereby, up to 12,857,143 Units will be offered for gross proceeds of up to $9,000,000. The remaining portion of the Concurrent Financing will be comprised of the Brokered Offering (as discussed below).

Each Unit will be comprised of one common share (on a post-consolidation basis) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one additional common share of the Company for a period of five (5) years at an exercise price of $1.05.

It is anticipated that the Concurrent Financing will be completed contemporaneously with the completion of the RTO and that proceeds from the Concurrent Financing and the Brokered Offering (as discussed below) will be used by the Company for general working capital and to further the exploration of its mineral properties.


Brokered Private Placement

The Company is also pleased to announce that it has entered into an engagement letter with Tempest Capital Corp. ("Tempest Capital") to act as agent in respect of a portion of the Concurrent Financing. Tempest Capital will act as agent, on a best efforts basis, for the sale of up to 1,428,572 Units for gross proceeds of up to $1,000,000 (the "Brokered Offering").

Tempest Capital will receive a cash commission equal to 5% of the gross proceeds of the Brokered Offering.

Completion of the RTO, including the Concurrent Financing, is subject to a number of conditions, including TSX Venture Exchange acceptance and court and shareholder approval. The transactions cannot close until all requisite approvals are obtained. There can be no assurance that the transactions will be completed as proposed or at all.
