Vancouver, BC, - Mediterranean Resources Ltd. (TSX: MNR; Frankfurt: MHM1) ("Mediterranean" or the "Company") acknowledges it has received a requisition from two shareholders, Waratah Investments Limited and Waratah Capital Ltd., that hold, collectively, 12,193,500, or approximately 8.58 per cent, of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company, for a general meeting of shareholders, which the Company has determined will be held on May 7, 2014.

Mediterranean notes that the requisition has no financing component nor business plan as to what will be done to protect the Company's assets, including the initiation of an environmental impact study application and the completion of an engineering study with respect to the Company's properties. Nor is there any indication as to how its land management practices will be maintained or its licenses protected during a period of changes to the mining law and regulations in Turkey.

From discussions with the principal of Waratah Investments during 2013, Mediterranean believes that the this requisition is an opportunistic attempt to force a business combination between Mediterranean and a company listed on the OTC Bulletin Board in the US, Blox Inc (formerly Nava Resources Inc). The principal of Waratah folded some mining (and other) assets in Ghana (and elsewhere) into this vehicle in June 2013 and entreated Mediterranean to do likewise. Mediterranean notes that the proposed slate of directors includes Rob Abenante, a Director of Blox and its VP Operations.

As previously announced the Company is advancing with the financing proposal for USD$2million to $7million it has received from Lionsbridge Pty Ltd. Mediterranean has thus already initiated a reorganization plan that provides a new management team with a proven track in bringing mines into production in a timely fashion. This reorganization is projected to take place far in advance of the May 7th date for the proposed requisitioned meeting.
