Company Statement

Mediterranean Resources Ltd. (the "Company") acquires and develops advanced stage mineral properties of demonstrated potential. Currently the Company is actively working on its two 100% owned properties in Turkey, Tac and Corak, that lie along a common mineralized trend with Corak approximately 8 kilometres to the southwest of Tac. These properties experienced more than US$4 million of exploration by Teck Cominco during the early 1990's and US$3.1 million of exploration by the Company in 2006 which led to the Company acquiring them with an undivided interest.

Mediterranean has an operating tested management team with the experience and knowledge necessary to bring these properties to production.


Current Operations

Approximately US$4.5 million of exploration was expended on Tac and Corak in 2007, including approximately 24,000 metres of drilling and initiating ground exploration programs at Cevreli, approximately two kilometres to the southwest of Tac and at Celtik, approximately two kilometres to the northeast of Tac on the south side of the Coruh river. Both areas are located along the common mineralized trend linking Tac and Corak. This is expected to identify drill targets and open up two additional areas of exploration along the 11 kilometre trend in 2008. Mediterranean has operating licenses and exploration licenses for an area of approximately 97 square kilometers.

On March 11, 2008 Mediterranean announced new NI 43-101 compliant resource estimates for Tac and Corak as follows:

Metallurgical Summary
During 2006 and 2007, a series of metallurgical tests of both Tac and Corak mineralization were carried out by Process Research Associates of Vancouver, Canada. Flotation is considered as the most appropriate method of concentration for the realization of mineral asset value. In January 2008, a locked cycle flotation test of a Tac sample achieved recoveries of 90% for gold and 70% for copper with 23% copper concentration. An additional locked cycle test will be conducted to complete the Tac sample testing program. In February 2008, a series of flotation tests on Corak samples achieved recoveries of significant metals at the following levels: gold 85%, silver 58%, lead 85% and zinc 73% with 53% lead concentration and 55% zinc concentration. These recoveries were used in the Tac and Corak resource estimates
