Maritime Extends Rumbullion High Grade Gold Vein at Green Bay Project in Newfoundland

Maritime Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:MAE) ('Maritime' or the 'Company') reports
that it has completed the 2013 field program at its Green Bay gold project in
north-central Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The two main goals for the 2013
program were to (1) further extend the Rumbullion Main vein system ('RM')
through trenching and sampling, and (2) initiate environmental baseline sampling
including testing water in the flooded underground mine workings. Very positive
results have now been received from both the surface trenching program and from
the mine water sampling. 


The 2012 trenching program successfully exposed the RM vein on surface for over
120 metres to the east. The 2013 trenching located the RM vein at a slight
offset and continued to explore it to the east until the bedrock plunged beneath
a bog. A robust, strongly mineralized vein reaching up to 50 cm wide was exposed
along the new extension. Between the 2012 and 2013 programs the RM East vein has
now been uncovered on surface 180 metres further east from where mining
terminated in 2004 and remains open for further exploration.


Channel sampling across the vein encountered high grade gold values, similar to
those observed in the 2012 discovery. Assays of 42.54 g/t Au over 0.40 metres
(RCS-13-44), and 64.08 g/t Au over 0.2 metres (RCS-13-43) were returned from two
of the easternmost channels. When averaged over 1.2 metres minimum mining width,
these channels assayed 14.3 g/t Au and 11.2 g/t Au over 1.2 metres respectively.
Full assay details are shown in the table below.

Maritime is also pleased to report that it has succeeded in initiating sampling
from several levels of the flooded Hammerdown mine workings. This sampling will
allow Maritime to determine stratification of water quality in the mine, and to
anticipate whether treatment prior to release will be required once dewatering
begins. Samples were sent to Maxxam Laboratories, an accredited lab for
environmental water sampling, for full analysis. Results have been received and
indicate that the water at all levels in the mine has a neutral pH and would
meet the current standards for mine water discharge with no further treatment.
Additionally the company has established environmental baseline monitoring
stations across the property and downstream of the mine, and will begin regular
sampling from these stations. Data from these programs will ultimately be used
in the Environmental Assessment submission for the project.


Eric Norton, President and CEO of Maritime states, "The results from this year's
trenching and water sampling programs have been successful in continuing to
advance the Green Bay Gold project towards a restart of the Hammerdown mine. We
are continuing to build upon the very encouraging NI 43-101 Resource Estimate
that was completed earlier this year, by expanding the near surface, high grade
gold resource. We have also now taken a good first step on our environmental due
diligence work."

ABOUT MARITIME:

Maritime Resources holds 100% of the Green Bay property, located near
Springdale, Newfoundland. The property hosts the past producing Hammerdown gold
mine and the Orion gold deposit separated by a 1.5 km distance, and the
Lochinvar base metals/precious metals deposit.


An initial Independent NI 43-101 compliant Mineral Resource Estimate for the
Green Bay Gold property was released in early June 2013. The study estimates the
property to contain in excess of 400,000 ounces of gold in the Measured and
Indicated category and in excess of 600,000 ounces in the Inferred category,
both at a 3 g/t cut-off grade. The estimate was compiled by Tetra Tech of
Ontario.


The Hammerdown gold deposit was successfully mined by Richmont Mines between the
years 2000 and 2004 while gold prices averaged $325/oz. During its operation a
total of 291,400 tonnes of ore were mined and milled, at an average grade of
15.83 g/t Au, recovering a total of 143,000 ounces of gold. All of the ore was
processed at the Nugget Pond mill, now owned and operated by Rambler Metals,
with an average gold recovery of 97.1%. Mining concluded in 2004 due to low gold
prices with mineralization remaining, although uneconomic at that time. The
Orion gold deposit consists of two main vein systems, both of which are open
along strike, up and down plunge.


On Behalf of the Board of Directors,

Eric W. Norton, President & CEO
