Mindoro's 100 Million Red Mountain Shares to Be Released From Escrow
  
 

EDMONTON, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Feb 18, 2014) - Mindoro Resources Ltd. (TSX-VENTURE:MIO)(ASX:MDO)(FRANKFURT:WKN 906167) ("Mindoro", or "the Company") advises that further to the Company's October 18, 2013, news release, the amended agreements with Red Mountain Mining Ltd. relating to the transfer of certain contractual rights and technical services for the Batangas Gold Projects have been finalized. Accordingly, the 100 million Red Mountain shares (the "Shares") owned by Mindoro will be released from voluntary escrow on March 4, 2014, upon expiration of the ten day notice period required by the ASX.

The October 2013 news release also advised that Mindoro was no longer contractually obliged to distribute a majority of the Shares to its shareholders upon expiration of the escrow period, allowing Mindoro to continue to hold or otherwise deal with the Shares in the manner that Mindoro determines will return greatest value to its shareholders.

Mindoro also advises that it will return four million Shares to Red Mountain, pursuant to the Company reacquiring its contractual rights to several tenements in the Philippines, including Tapian San Francisco, as described in the October 2013 press release. The return of the four million shares was subject to Red Mountain shareholder approval, which was received on February 17, 2014.

As required under Mindoro's joint venture agreement with TVI Research and Development ("TVIRD") in the Philippines, TVIRD has undertaken due diligence with respect to acquiring an interest in the Tapian San Francisco tenements.

Mindoro CEO, Tony Climie, stated, "We are very pleased to have reacquired access to the high-potential gold and copper-gold prospects within the Tapian San Francisco tenements. We anticipate commencing work on the prospects in the second half of 2014, funded either by joint venture or revenues generated upon commencement of the Agata Project direct shipping ore operation."

On behalf of the Board of Directors,

Tony Climie, CEO
