Maritime Seeks Shareholder Approval for Potential Share Consolidation

Toronto, July 12, 2024 - Maritime Resources Corp. (TSXV: MAE) (OTC Pink: MRTMF) ("Maritime" or the "Company") announces that at the annual general and special meeting of shareholders of the Company (the "Meeting"), shareholders will be asked to pass, with or without variation, an ordinary resolution to approve a consolidation (the "Consolidation") of the common shares in the capital of the Company (the "Common Shares") on the basis of up to ten (10) pre-Consolidation Common Shares for one (1) post-Consolidation Common Share, as and when determined by the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") in its sole discretion.

The Board is seeking authority to implement the Consolidation if and when it believes such action shall be appropriate and beneficial to the capital structure of the Company. The Company believes that the Consolidation could also broaden the pool of investors that would consider investing in Maritime, thereby resulting in a more efficient market for the Common Shares.

Currently, the Company has 595,716,319 Common Shares issued and outstanding on a pre-Consolidation basis. If the Consolidation is completed, the Company would have approximately 59,571,631 Common Shares issued and outstanding, assuming the Consolidation ratio is completed on the basis of ten (10) pre-Consolidation Common Shares for one (1) post-Consolidation Common Share. No fractional Common Shares would be issued as a result of the Consolidation and no cash consideration would be paid in respect of fractional shares.

The Common Shares would continue to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") under the symbol "MAE" and the Company's name would remain the same.

As a result of the Consolidation, the exercise or conversion price and the number of Common Shares issuable under any of the Company's outstanding warrants and stock options would be proportionately adjusted to reflect the Consolidation in accordance with the respective terms thereof.

The Consolidation is subject to the prior approval of the Exchange and shareholders of the Company. The Company is holding the Meeting on August 8, 2024.

Further information on the Consolidation can be found in the Company's management information circular dated July 10, 2024 available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
