Maudore and Noront Agree to Terminate Purchase and Sale Agreement


MONTREAL, April 22, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - Maudore Minerals Ltd. (MAO: TSX-Venture) (MAOMF: US OTC); (M6L: Frankfurt Exchange) ("Maudore" or the "Company") is pleased to announce
that following the acquisition of NAP Quebec Mines Ltd. ("NAP Gold") on
March 22, it has poured its first two gold bars for approximately 945
ounces of gold.


Kevin Tomlinson, Chairman and CEO of Maudore, commented, "Our
transformation from a junior exploration company to a well-capitalized
gold producer was accomplished in an astonishingly quick timeframe in
one of the most difficult financing environments that the gold sector
has experienced in recent memory. We are quite encouraged by the
potential cash flow from our newly acquired assets and with the
excellent platform we now have to grow the Company."


The Company recently held a contest among its new employees at the Vezza
Project and the Sleeping Giant Complex to select a new corporate name
for NAP Gold. A total of 119 entries were submitted. The winner of the
contest was Pascal vanDoesburg, the Warehouse Clerk at the Sleeping
Giant Mill,. The Company is very pleased to announce that the new
corporate name of NAP Gold will be Aurbec Mines Inc. / Mines Aurbec Inc.


On April 18, 2013, Noront Resources Ltd. ("Noront") and Maudore entered
into an agreement that terminates the previously announced (December 5,
2012) Purchase and Sale Agreement ("PSA") to acquire Noront's 25 per
cent undivided right, title and interest in the Windfall Lake Project.
Accordingly, both parties are released from any further obligations
outlined in the PSA. Concurrently, Maudore has informed Eagle Hill
Exploration Corp. ("Eagle Hill") that it will no longer pursue its
proposed business combination between the two companies.


Mr. Tomlinson added, "We continue to believe in the merits of a
transaction between Maudore and Eagle Hill, especially considering the
added benefits and synergies that our acquisition of NAP Gold would
bring to a transaction. However, while our discussions with Noront and
Eagle Hill were constructive, we concluded that it would not be prudent
to pursue the transaction as it was structured, particularly given the
significant decline in market valuations affecting the gold sector. We
are determined to concentrate all our efforts in creating shareholder
value through the development of our projects and gold production. "
