   About Mariana Resources 
 
   Mariana Resources Ltd is an AIM quoted exploration and development 
company with an extensive portfolio of gold, silver and copper projects 
in South America and Turkey. 
 
   Mariana's most advanced asset is the Hot Maden gold-copper project in 
north east Turkey, which is a joint venture with its Turkish JV partner 
Lidya (30% Mariana and 70% Lidya). An updated mineral resource estimate 
of 3.43Moz gold Equivalent (Indicated Category) and 0.09Moz gold 
Equivalent (Inferred Category) (100% basis) was reported for Hot Maden 
on July 25, 2016 as well the maiden resource estimate for the new 
Southern Discovery Zone with 0.35Moz gold Equivalent (Inferred Category) 
(100% basis). Elsewhere in Turkey, Mariana holds a 100% interest in the 
Ergama gold-copper project. 
 
   In southern Argentina, the Company's core advanced exploration 
gold-silver projects are Las Calandrias (100%), Sierra Blanca (100%), 
Los Cisnes (100%), Bozal (100%). These projects are part of a 160,000+ 
Ha land package in the Deseado Massif epithermal gold-silver district in 
mining-friendly Santa Cruz Province. 
 
   In Suriname, Mariana has a direct holding of 10.2% of the Nassau Gold 
project. The Nassau Gold Project is a 28,000 Ha exploration concession 
located approximately 125 km south east of the capital Paramaribo and 
immediately adjacent to Newmont Mining's 4.2Moz gold Merian project. 
 
   In Peru and Chile, Mariana is focusing on acquiring and testing new 
opportunities which complement its current portfolio.
