New World Resource Corp. Increases Non-Brokered Private Placement to $2,730,000

VANCOUVER, Feb. 25, 2011 - New World Resource Corp. (TSX VENTURE: NW) (FRANKFURT: NWU) (the "Company") announces that in response to over-subscription it has increased the size of its non-brokered private placement previously announced on February 17, 2011, to consist of up to 6,825,000 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.40 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to $2,730,000.

Each Unit will consist of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole such warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase an additional common share at a price of $0.60 for a period of twelve months from the closing date.

The Company will pay a finder's fee equal to 6% of the gross proceeds raised, payable in cash or Units at the option of the finders, and issue non-transferable common share purchase warrants ("Finder's Warrants") in the amount equal to 8% of the number of Units subscribed for. Each Finder's Warrant will entitle the finder to purchase an additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.50 for twelve months from the closing date. The financing is subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals.

The proceeds of the private placement will be used to fund a drill program to increase the current 43-101 compliant resource on the Company's Lipeña copper-gold project (the 43-101 resource estimate report can be seen on the Company's website; http://www.newworldresource.com/i/pdf/NW_Lipena_43101_112508.pdf), for further resource definition on the Company's Pastos Grandes lithium-potash brine project and for general working capital.
