Selwyn Provides Corporate Update

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Mar 3, 2014) - Selwyn Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SWN) ("Selwyn" or the "Company") is pleased to provide a brief update on the Company's strategic intentions for 2014.

ScoZinc Project Update

In light of the recently improved fundamentals in the zinc-lead market, a more positive outlook for base metals generally, together with the benefit of a depreciating Canadian dollar, the Company is currently exploring options for financing the Company, with a view to restarting the ScoZinc operation in Nova Scotia, Canada.

The ScoZinc operation has all necessary environmental and industrial approvals and can be placed back into production in less than a year. A skilled workforce is available locally and Selwyn retains local and regional assets capable of extending the mine life.

Other Strategic Initiatives

In addition to actively considering options to refinance Selwyn, the Company continues to pursue other avenues to maximize the value of the ScoZinc Project, including, but not limited to, possible sale, joint venture or other transactions with third parties. Except as required by law, the Company does not intend to disclose developments with respect to the consideration of strategic alternatives until warranted. The Company cautions that there are no assurances that any strategic alternative will be undertaken or pursued.

Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
