Manson Creek Closes the Option of the Up Town Gold Project, NWT

Manson Creek Resources Ltd. ('Manson Creek') (TSX VENTURE:MCK) is pleased to
announce that the option of the Up Town Gold Project by Petro-Occidente Capital
Corp., now named North Sur Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SUR) ('SUR') has closed. 


Manson Creek has received a $25,000 cash payment and 100,000 common shares of
SUR. The 100,000 SUR Shares issued to Manson are subject to a four month hold
period which expires December 13, 2013. Manson Creek will receive an additional
100,000 common shares of SUR on or about January 28, 2014 and again on or about
January 28, 2015 provided the option remains in effect. 


SUR has agreed to assume all of Manson's rights and obligations under the
underlying option, including required yearly exploration expenditures (totalling
up to an aggregate of $400,000 by 2016) and certain cash payments (totalling up
to an aggregate of $250,000 by 2016), required to be made to the vendor, Panarc
Resources, to keep the underlying option in good standing for each year that the
underlying option remains in effect, other than with respect to certain share
issuance, which obligations will be retained by Manson. 


If SUR exercises the option to acquire the Up Town Gold property, then for a
period of 60 days after such exercise Manson Creek will have a right to earn a
40% interest in the Property (the "Back-in Right") by providing notice of the
exercise of such Back-in Right and paying to SUR, in cash, 40% of all cash
payments made by SUR, 40% of all exploration expenses incurred by or on behalf
of SUR and 40% of the fair market value on the date of issue of all the shares
issued to Manson Creek.
