Mediterranean Resources announces results from two new mineralized areas

VANCOUVER, Nov. 26, 2012 /CNW/ - Mediterranean Resources Ltd. (TSX: MNR); (Frankfurt: MHM1) ("Mediterranean") is pleased to announce results from initial rock sampling at Hilal, a newly identified prospect, situated north-northwest of the Company's Celtik Project. This zone (the part of the Celtik exploration tenement that is situated on the northern side of Coruh Valley) has never been subject to any reporting by the Company.

The company also takes this opportunity to publish results from its rock sampling program in the contiguous Tac exploration license.

Hilal

The discovery of a new prospect (shown on the accompanying maps as Zone 1) with higher silver assay than the company has hitherto obtained on its tenements is the result of a systematic reconnaissance and rock sampling throughout the entirety of its holdings to ascertain the true extent of the Kizildag and Celtik deposits.

Hilal is a north-south trending mineralized zone of intensely sheared and brecciated rock with pervasive argillic alteration, which is at least 800 meters long and 300 meters wide. The area is characterized by ubiquitous iron and copper-oxide staining along with highly anomalous silver and lead-zinc mineralization.

The prospect is tentatively interpreted as a previously unknown northernmost extension of the Tac deposit and may be significantly expanding the overall area potential.

Hilal signals a new phase in the exploration of the Company's Yusufeli project.

Tac North

Tac North (Zone 2) is an elongated area some 1200 meters long and at least 600 meters wide that extends in northeasterly direction toward Hilal. Situated largely on the Tac exploration license, Tac North is contiguous to the Company's Tac deposit.

Tac North is an intensely sheared area with manifest phyllic/argillic alteration. Of particular interest, is its silver-base metal geochemical affinity which may be interpreted as a newly discovered mineralization level in the greater Yusufeli mineralized system.

Results

The samples collected by MNR's geological team. The sampling at Hilal included significant silver assays as follows:

Sampling at Tac North (Zone 2) reported particularly strong copper assays, including sample 43982 grading 8.54% Cu and 11.8 g/t Ag from a quartz vein with abundant sulfide mineralization vein N354/88NE:

The Company views these results as an exciting new copper-silver-rich zone which merits further exploration attention over the coming months.

The Celtik exploration blocks are now subject to a Joint Venture with the Ramsey Group and associated parties (announced September 20, 2012 news release). Meanwhile the Tac tenements are subject to partnering to a lesser extent with the same parties in differing percentages under the same MOU. The Company has announced its intention to float its Akdeniz subsidiary (holding the Tac and Corak blocks) on the Istanbul Stock Exchange.

Quality Control

Mediterranean Resources and its subsidiaries adhere to industry standard quality assurance and quality control procedures for all samples. The QA/QC program includes the insertion of blanks, duplicates and certified standards into the sample stream. Gold and multi-element assaying is undertaken by ALS at its laboratories in Vancouver, Canada.
