Wilton Resources Inc. Adopts Amendment to By-laws Requiring Advance Notice of Nomination of Directors

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE
UNITED STATES. ANY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RESTRICTION MAY CONSTITUTE A
VIOLATION OF U.S. SECURITIES LAWS.


Wilton Resources Inc. ("Wilton" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:WIL) is
pleased to announce that it has adopted an amendment to its By-laws, similar to
By-law amendments and policies recently adopted by a number of other Canadian
public companies, requiring advance notice to the Corporation for nominations of
directors by shareholders other than through a requisitioned meeting or by way
of a shareholder proposal pursuant to applicable corporate laws.


The By-law amendment is not intended to discourage director nominations but
rather to facilitate orderly and efficient meetings at which directors are to be
elected and to permit shareholders to register an informed vote by allowing them
to receive sufficient information with respect to all director nominees and
reasonable time for appropriate deliberation.


The By-law amendment provides shareholders, directors and management of the
Corporation with a clear framework for nominating directors in an orderly and
fair manner. The By-law amendment fixes a deadline by which holders of record of
common shares of the Corporation must submit director nominations to the
Corporation prior to any annual or special meeting of shareholders and sets
forth the information that a shareholder must include in the notice to the
Corporation for the notice to be in proper written form in order for any
director nominee to be eligible for election at any annual or special meeting of
shareholders.


In the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, notice to the Corporation must
be made not less than 30 nor more than 65 days prior to the date of the annual
meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is to be
held on a date that is less than 50 days after the date on which the first
public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was made, notice may be
made not later than the close of business on the 10th day following such public
announcement.


In the case of a special meeting of shareholders (which is not also an annual
meeting), notice to the Corporation must be made not later than the close of
business on the 15th day following the day on which the first public
announcement of the date of the special meeting was made.


The By-law amendment is effective immediately and will be placed before
shareholders for confirmation at the Corporation's annual and special meeting of
shareholders to be held on April 15, 2013. A copy of the By-law amendment is
available under the Corporation's profile at www.sedar.com.
