Maritime Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:MAE) ("Maritime") reports that it has
exercised its option to acquire 100% of the Newfoundland based Green Bay Gold
Property from Commander Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CMD).


Maritime previously held 50% of the property which was acquired in 2010 through
the issuance of 12 million shares to Commander and a work commitment of $750,000
pursuant to an option agreement between the parties dated June 14, 2010. Further
to the terms of the option agreement, Maritime retained the right to acquire
full ownership of the property through the issuance of an additional 5 million
shares of Maritime. This option has now been exercised.


The Green Bay property hosts two known deposits: The Hammerdown gold deposit and
the Orion gold deposit. The property is also host to the Lochinvar base
metals/silver zone and several gold and base metal prospects. The Hammerdown
gold deposit was mined between 2000 and 2004 and closed due to low (sub $300)
gold prices with mineralization remaining, uneconomic at that time. Since going
public in October 2010 Maritime has completed in excess of $750,000 of work on
the property through geophysical surveys and drilling. With the completion of
this acquisition Maritime will have 100% ownership of all three assets.
Commander Resources will hold a 2% NSR royalty on future production from the
property with the exception of production from the Orion deposit.


Eric Norton, President & CEO of Maritime, states, "With the potential expansion
of the gold mineralization at Orion and a progress report from CAE on the past
producing Hammerdown Gold Mine, the company is excited to be exercising its
option for full ownership of the Green Bay Property which hosts both targets We
look forward to our 2012 exploration program on possible new and expansion
targets on the property."


Maritime's shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "MAE". For
