Mediterranean Resources Announces Further Details for Its Proposed Migration to the TSX Venture Exchange

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired - Aug. 25, 2014) - Mediterranean Resources Ltd. ("MNR" or the "Company") (TSX:MNR) (PINKSHEETS:MNRUF) is pleased to announce further details for the proposed migration of its listing to the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V").

On May 20, 2014 the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") made its decision to delist the Company (the "Delisting"). In anticipation of the Delisting, the Company has applied to list its common shares (the "Shares") on the TSX-V (the "Listing").

On August 22, 2014, the TSX granted the Company a further extension on the Delisting to August 29, 2014 (the "Extension"). The Extension is intended to allow the Company the necessary time to apply to the NEX, which is a separate board of the TSX-V. The Shares would be temporarily listed on the NEX until such time as the Company has satisfied the outstanding conditions to Listing on the TSX-V. The TSX-V has conditionally accepted the Listing subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the Company closing its non-brokered private placement for up to $1,500,000 (the "Financing"). The details of the Financing are disclosed in the Company's news release dated August 21, 2014. The Company believes that the Financing will give MNR the necessary capital to meet the minimum capital requirements for the Listing.

The Listing follows several milestones that the Company has achieved in returning MNR to good standing, which are also detailed in the August 21, 2014 news release. Once the Shares are successfully listed on the TSX-V, the Company intends to shift its focus from compliance to development of its primary assets in Turkey. There are no assurances that the applications for listing on the NEX or the TSX-V will be accepted.

"We have taken significant steps in addressing the Company's historical compliance issues," says Chairman and CEO, Robert Abenante. "We appreciate the support of the Exchanges and Securities Commissions in assisting us to return to good standing and thank the Company's various stakeholders for believing in the new Management to restore the Company into a viable mining Company."

The Company's new management has spent a considerable amount of time re-stabilizing the Company's operations in Turkey and following the completion of the Listing can focus on executing its 18-month development plan for the Taç and Çorak deposits.

"Now that we have a clear pathway to listing on the TSX-V, we can focus on closing our private placement and developing our primary assets in Turkey," adds Mr. Abenante.
