TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - March 28, 2012) - Trelawney Mining and Exploration Inc. (the "Company" or "Trelawney") (TSX VENTURE:TRR)(FRANKFURT:RTW) is pleased to announce that further to its press release dated November 23, 2011, the Company has entered into a restated amending agreement (the "RestatedAmending Agreement") with Treelawn Group Inc. ("Treelawn"), with respect to the Chester 3 Property.


Effective November 22, 2011, the Company earned 92.5% of Treelawn's interest in the Chester 3 Property, which is comprised of 1 mining lease, 20 patented claims and 29 unpatented mining claims covering approximately 890 hectares and contains part of the Cote Lake Deposit. Under the terms of an amending agreement (the "Amending Agreement") dated November 22, 2011, between the Company and Treelawn, the Company accelerated the terms of the mining option agreement (the "Chester 3 Option Agreement") dated December 21, 2009, and earned 92.5% of Treelawn's interest in the Chester 3 Property. In consideration of accelerating the exercise of the Chester 3 Option Agreement Treelawn's residual 7.5% working interest in the Chester 3 Property was converted into a 7.5% free carried interest.


Pursuant to the Restated Amending Agreement Treelawn's residual 7.5% working interest in the Chester 3 Property will be converted into a 7.5% net profits interest in and to the Chester 3 Property. The net profits interest shall be calculated by subtracting all operating costs from the sale of minerals produced from the Chester 3 Property following the commencement of commercial production.


The Company has also entered into an option agreement (the "Option Agreement") dated March 28, 2012 with John Patrick Sheridan ("Sheridan"), pursuant to which Trelawney has been granted the exclusive right to acquire up to a 51% interest in 27 unpatented mining claims located in the Townships of Benneweis, Champagne and Groves, Porcupine Mining Division, Ontario (the "SST Property").


Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement Trelawney may earn a 51% interest by paying the sum of $250,000 to Sheridan and incurring $500,000 in exploration expenditures on the SST Property on or before December 31, 2012.
