Majescor Resources Inc. ("Majescor" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:MJX) is
pleased to report it has entered into a non-binding Letter Agreement with
Olympic Resources Ltd. ("Olympic") (TSX VENTURE:OLA) and Sunridge Gold Corp.
("Sunridge") (TSX VENTURE:SGC) whereby the Company and Sunridge agree to sell
their respective 50% interest in Daraina Exploration S.A.R.L. to Olympic.
Daraina S.A.R.L. is a Malagasy registered mining company which holds 100%
mineral rights to the Besakoa polymetallic and graphite property located in
southern Madagascar.


Under the terms of the Letter Agreement, Majescor and Sunridge agree to sell
their respective 50% interest in Daraina S.A.R.L. ("Daraina") and Olympic agrees
to purchase 100% of the shares of Daraina under the following conditions: (i)
Majescor, Sunridge and Olympic shall enter into a definitive two-year option
agreement; (ii) Upon signing of the definitive option agreement, Olympic shall
pay a total of $150,000, split $75,000 to Majescor and $75,000 to Sunridge;
(iii) Before the second year anniversary of signing the definitive option
agreement, Olympic must expend a minimum of $1,000,000 in exploration work on
the Besakoa property, including a firm year-1 commitment of $300,000; (iv) Upon
completion of the expenditures, Olympic may exercise its option to purchase 100%
of the shares of Daraina by delivering notice and paying a total of $1,250,000,
split $625,000 to Majescor and $625,000 to Sunridge, subject to the retention by
Majescor and Sunridge of a 2% net smelter returns royalty on the Besakoa
property, split 1% to Majescor and 1% to Sunridge. Upon successful conclusion of
due diligence, on direction of Olympic, the parties will seek to draft a
definitive agreement, subject to each Company's Board approval and to any
regulatory approvals that may be required.


Olympic was on site in Madagascar to conduct a technical site visit of the
Besakoa property the week of April 15, 2013 and will conduct further due
diligence to follow. 


About the Besakoa Property, southern Madagascar

The Besakoa polymetallic and graphite property is located in the
Atsimo-Andrefana region of South Central Madagascar. The property consists of a
block of 144 contiguous map-designated claims covering approximately 60 square
kilometres and can be accessed by road from the port city of Toliara.


Between 2008 and 2011, Sunridge completed approximately $2,000,000 worth of
exploration work on the project to assess the property for copper/zinc/gold
volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) targets. This work included airborne and
ground geophysical surveys (electromagnetics, magnetics, gravity and
audio-magneto-tellurics) soil geochemical surveys, geological and structural
mapping as well as a 5,000 m core drilling program. The results of this work
were generally disappointing in regards to base metal targets.


The Besakoa property is located on the same geological trend and approximately
25 km north of Energizer Resources' Green Giant Molo Graphite Project, which has
a recently reported National Instrument (NI) 43-101 compliant graphite mineral
resource estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment. The graphite
mineralization at Besakoa occurs within a folded and highly metamorphosed
sequence of sedimentary rocks that trends north to north-northeast and dips
steeply to the east.


From preliminary surface mapping and rock sampling conducted by Sunridge at
Besakoa, these graphitic meta-sedimentary rocks are closely associated with
shallow airborne EM conductors. A total of four strong and shallow airborne EM
conductors are defined in the property; two are located in the west (west and
far west anomalies) and two in the east (East and far-east anomalies). These
shallow airborne EM conductors trends from 2.5 km up to 7.5 km along strike and
vary in widths from 100m in the east up to 800m in the west. 


The graphite mineralization at Besakoa occurs as disseminated flakes within the
highly metamorphosed (amphibolite up to granulite metamorphic grades)
sedimentary rocks.
