Maritime Welcomes Rambler Metals as Strategic Investor

Maritime Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:MAE) ("Maritime") reports that Rambler
Metals & Mining Canada Ltd. ("Rambler") of Baie Verte, Newfoundland has entered
into an agreement to acquire 4,500,000 shares of Maritime, representing 17% of
the company, from Commander Resources Ltd. ("Commander"). The private
transaction, priced at $0.23 per share, is scheduled to close February 15, 2012.
In recognition of this strategic transaction, Maritime has invited Rambler to
appoint a new director to Maritime's Board as their representative.


Rambler Metals currently owns and operates the Nugget Pond Mill, just 149 km
from Maritime's Hammerdown mine site. From 2000 to 2004 this mill processed ore
from the Hammerdown Mine at an average gold recovery of 97%. The Nugget Pond
mill has recently been restarted, now processing copper-gold ore from Rambler's
Ming Mine, and is expected to have additional gold processing capacity,
potentially from Maritime's operations. 


Rambler has nominated Mr. Peter Mercer, Vice President of Corporate Development
to join the board of Maritime. Peter led the feasibility study of Rambler's Ming
Mine, including environmental compliance, planning, permitting, development and
closure plans, and government relations. Maynard E. Brown, Chairman of Maritime
states, "Maritime welcomes the addition of Peter as a new board member as he
brings with him local expertise, contacts and a common objective. We are
confident that his experience will result in an accelerated review of the
potential production at Hammerdown and Orion."


Rambler Metals and Mining plc currently trades on London's AIM market under
symbol RMM and on the TSX:V under symbol RAB.


Maritime's shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol MAE. For
