GOLD AND COPPER FOUND IN JAMAICA?

Miocene Resources Limited (“Miocene”), formerly Miocene Metals Limited (TSXV: MII) and Carube Resources Inc. (“Carube”), a private Ontario-based exploration company, are pleased to provide an exploration update on their Bellas Gate Joint Venture (“BGJV”) with OZ Minerals Limited (“OZ Minerals”) in Jamaica. Two drills are currently operating on the property as part of the $3.6 million dollar 2015 exploration program. A third drill is being added to the program in the near future.

Work completed since the inception of the BGJV in January 2014 includes 5,500 metres of drilling in 18 holes. Helicopter magnetic and radiometric surveys have been completed over the entire property. Surface field work has been completed, including mapping, prospecting and the collection of 1,500 soil samples over numerous prospects. The total cost of exploration completed by OZ Minerals on the BGJV in 2014 was $2.9M.

Dr. Vern Rampton, P.Eng., President and CEO of Carube stated, “Carube is extremely pleased with the progress made on the Bellas Gate Joint Venture by partner OZ Minerals. We have intersected significant copper and gold mineralization at Connors and have identified encouraging porphyry systems at Hendley and Geo Hill that are now being drill tested. OZ Minerals has been able to systematically identify, sample, map and drill these high priority target areas in a quick and efficient manner. It is also important to note that the BGJV has tested and drilled only four of the 14 high priority targets so far.”

Alar Soever, P. Geo., Executive Chairman of Miocene commented, “The addition of a third drill in the near future will enhance our ability to rapidly follow-up the results of the surface work on the other 10 targets, while the two drills currently operating will continue to define the limits and indicative grade of mineralization on the targets that are currently being drilled.”

Connors

Drilling to date has focused on the Connors prospect where 12 holes have been completed for a total of 3,964 metres. This drilling has defined copper-gold mineralization with a surface footprint of approximately 300m by 260m and to a depth of 225m. The mineralization is characterized by multiphase potassium alteration with several episodes of copper mineralization. Copper mineralization is chalcopyrite – associated with quartz and magnetite veining as well as fine disseminations within the rock.

Drill results include:

– from hole CON-14-003, 297m of 0.53% CuEq including 55m of 1.00% CuEq and

– from hole CON-14-005, 294m of 0.56% CuEq including 96m of 1.00% CuEq

For complete assay results received to date, please see Press Release March 3, 2015.

(Note: Intervals calculated using unlimited internal dilution. Copper equivalents are calculated using a US $3.00/lb. copper and a US$1200 per ounce gold price assuming 100% recovery of both metals. Intervals are core lengths and not necessarily true widths. Not enough information is available to determine true widths.)

Hendley

Detailed mapping and prospecting at Hendley, located approximately 4.5 km north-west of Connors and proximal to the northwest extremity of Porphyry Alley, identified strong copper oxide mineralisation at surface in several locations. A soil sampling program was been completed over a 2.3km x 1.8 km area and has identified a 1200m by 500m copper ± gold in soil anomaly (see press release dated October 2, 2014). Intensely altered rocks with malachite (a copper carbonate hydroxide mineral) were recovered from several hand-dug soil sample holes at depths of 30-50cm.

Drilling is now in progress on the Hendley prospect with one drill rig. Initial assay results are pending.

Geo Hill and Porphyry Alley

Drilling has also been initiated at Geo Hill at the north end of the approximately 1.9km strike length of the Porphyry Alley prospect which extends from Camel Hill in the southeast through Mab Hill to Geo Hill in the northwest.

The Geo Hill target consists of a 450m x 300m area defined by an airborne magnetic anomaly with coincident elevated soil Cu values adjacent to an historic drill hole which intersected 0.35% copper and 0.17 grams per tonne gold over 121.6 metres . Drilling has intersected copper mineralization associated with magnetite. Assay results are pending.

Dry Hill Target

The Dry Hill prospect, located about two kilometres south of Geo Hill, consists of an airborne magnetic response underlying the centre and eastern edge of the two kilometre diameter Coffee Copper soil geochemical anomaly. The target has been given a high priority in the drilling sequence given the association of the copper mineralization with magnetite noted elsewhere on the property, including at Geo Hill.

Kola

Detailed mapping at the Kola Prospect, located approximately 4.5 km south-east of Connors, has identified a zoned, porphyry-style alteration system, approximately 1.1 km long by 0.7 km wide. This correlates well with the historic copper soil geochemical anomaly, as well as airborne magnetic and radiometric data. A water extraction licence has been received and drill hole locations are currently being planned.

About Miocene Resources Limited

Miocene is focused on the exploration of three porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum properties in south-western British Columbia that occur within the Tertiary-aged Cascade Magmatic Arc. The Cascade Arc shares many geological characteristics with Tertiary-age porphyry belts that stretch the length of Chile and Peru in South America and hosts some of the world’s largest porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum deposits. The Cascade Magmatic Arc hosts a number of significant porphyry Cu-Au and Mo deposits in Washington State, and Alaska (Glacier Peak and Margaret, and Quartz Hill respectively) but remains largely unexplored in British Columbia.
