Maritime Increases Property Size at Green Bay in Newfoundland

Maritime Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:MAE) ("Maritime") announces that it has
acquired additional mineral tenures adjacent to their Green Bay Gold Property in
Newfoundland. The acquisition was prompted by the recently announced NI 43-101
Resource Estimate which estimated in excess of 400,000 ounces of gold in the
Measured and Indicated category and in excess of 600,000 ounces in the Inferred
category, both at a 3 g/t Au cut-off grade.


Maritime has staked three new exploration licenses covering 1,450 ha (3,580
acres) bringing the total area now held by Maritime to 5,170 ha (12,775 acres).
The new claims cover Catchers Pond sequences which also host the Hammerdown and
Orion gold deposits. They also cover geological, geochemical and geophysical
target areas with further gold exploration potential.


A map of the Green Bay property with new boundary can be viewed on the Company's
website (www.maritimeresourcescorp.com).


Bernard H. Kahlert, P.Eng., is a Qualified Person as defined by National
Instrument 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the technical disclosure
contained in this release.


On Behalf of the Board of Directors,

Eric W. Norton, President & CEO
