Editors Note: There is a map associated with this press release.

Metanor Resources Inc. ("Metanor") (TSX VENTURE:MTO) is pleased to release this update relating to the development of the "Main" zone towards the west, following the results from the ongoing underground drilling program (see press release issued January 16th2014).

In the last few weeks, Metanor has been developing a drift on level 14 towards the area identified by the drill results. Metanor can now confirm that the «Main» zone extends further west. While excavating the drift, the operations followed a continuous gold structure over 33.5 meters long by 2.5 meters wide grading 10.7 g/T.

On the adjacent plan, the stopes C-14-01 and C-14-03 correspond to the resources and reserves published in the 2011 43-101 Technical Report. Metanor will begin mining the first of the two stopes this quarter.

Development will continue towards the west as the structure is open to the west, up and down. The drilling results demonstrate that this new mineral structure extends over 100 meters to the west. Metanor will continue to release the results from its development and the underground drilling program at its Bachelor mine to extend the known mineralized zones and increase the mineral resources.
