Metanor Intersects 20.42 g/T Over 3.91 m, 14.27 g/T Over 5 m, 14.18 g/T Over 3.51 m and 13.45 g/T Over 8.43 m at Bachelor

VAL-D'OR, QUEBEC, CANADA--(Marketwire - June 5, 2012) - Metanor Resources Inc. ("Metanor") (TSX VENTURE:MTO.V - News) is pleased to provide a new update of its exploration work at the Bachelor project.

Metanor continues underground drilling of the "Main" and "B" veins, from levels 15 and 13 of the Bachelor project. Since the publication of the last press release concerning the status of the current drilling campaign (REF: press release on May 16, 2012), 6 new drill holes totaling 1,460 meters have been completed. To date, 25 drill holes have been completed on level 15 and they represent 7,830 meters of drilling. These drill holes are intended to increase resources by targeting the extensions known to the "Main" and "B" veins between levels 14 and 15.

On level 13, the drilling program is focused on the lateral extensions of the "Main" and "B" veins between levels 12 and 14. The objective is to provide supporting information for the continued mine development on these levels. In the month of May, 7 new drill holes totaling 1,215 meters have been completed. In total, 10 drill holes have been completed so far on level 13 and they represent 1,535 meters to date. The results tend to confirm the presence of high grade gold in the two (2) main structures at the Bachelor Gold Project ("Main" and "B" veins).

The following table summarizes the most significant intersections obtained since the publication of the last press release (REF: May 16, 2012):

Metanor is very encouraged by the results achieved to date in its efforts to increase the resource at its Bachelor Lake mine project. It is now planned to maintain permanently the presence of at least two drill rigs underground in order to continue to achieve the following objectives: further increase the resource and continue the development of the mining project into production.

In addition, in the third quarter, Metanor intends to initiate a series of drill holes to probe the Bachelor deposit up to 300 meters below level 15 (level 15 is located 710 meters below the surface) as the deposit is open at depth.

The true width is approximately 80-90% of the core length obtained in diamond drill holes. The samples were assayed by fire-assay at the Metanor assay lab. The quality control program of the assay results (QA QC) adopted by Metanor includes a minimum of 10% of controlled assays being conducted as well as verification by an independent external assay lab.
