Mediterranean Resources advises of receipt of unsolicited offer

Vancouver, BC, Mediterranean Resources Ltd. (TSX: MNR; Frankfurt: MHM1) (“Mediterranean” or the “Company”) wishes to advise the market that it has received an unsolicited non-binding offer from an ASX-listed explorer with a view to undertaking a merger with this company. The assets of the Australian company consist of several exploration properties and cash.

This entity has also mooted a financing (by the entity to MNR) of $250,000 (in either a loan or equity) in the short-term.

As with all such offers, the Board of Directors is taking this proposal into consideration and balancing it against other alternatives that have appeared in recent weeks.
