Metanor Intersects 12.24 g/T Over 4 Meters in the Hewfran Sector of the Bachelor Mine
VAL-D'OR, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - May 14, 2015) - Metanor Resources Inc. ("Metanor") (TSX VENTURE:MTO) is pleased to announce that it has intersected 12.24 g/T over 4 meters in a zone located between the known Hewfran sector, and the Bachelor sector near the infrastructures of level 6 of the Bachelor Mine.
The Hewfran sector is the western portion of the Bachelor property. This sector was explored from surface and from underground on level 6 in the last 30 years. In the 80's, a 500 meters exploration drift was developed to the west from the Bachelor sector of the mine on level 6. In the last few months, this drift was dewatered and rehabilitated to today's standards.

During the last few weeks, the drilling activities began on level 6. The table below shows the results obtained to date in that sector. These results confirm a new zone, and the development activities toward that zone are in progress on levels 6 and 8. The drilling activities on level 6 are continuing and a second drill is planned in that area within the next few weeks.
