MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - April 30, 2013) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES. ANY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RESTRICTION MAY CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF U.S. SECURITIES LAW

Majescor Resources Inc. ("Majescor" or the "Company") (News - Market indicators) is pleased to report it has entered into a non-binding Letter Agreement with Olympic Resources Ltd. ("Olympic") (TSX VENTURE:OLA) and Sunridge Gold Corp. ("Sunridge") (TSX VENTURE:SGC) whereby the Company and Sunridge agree to sell their respective 50% interest in Daraina Exploration S.A.R.L. to Olympic. Daraina S.A.R.L. is a Malagasy registered mining company which holds 100% mineral rights to the Besakoa polymetallic and graphite property located in southern Madagascar.

Under the terms of the Letter Agreement, Majescor and Sunridge agree to sell their respective 50% interest in Daraina S.A.R.L. ("Daraina") and Olympic agrees to purchase 100% of the shares of Daraina under the following conditions: (i) Majescor, Sunridge and Olympic shall enter into a definitive two-year option agreement; (ii) Upon signing of the definitive option agreement, Olympic shall pay a total of $150,000, split $75,000 to Majescor and $75,000 to Sunridge; (iii) Before the second year anniversary of signing the definitive option agreement, Olympic must expend a minimum of $1,000,000 in exploration work on the Besakoa property, including a firm year-1 commitment of $300,000; (iv) Upon completion of the expenditures, Olympic may exercise its option to purchase 100% of the shares of Daraina by delivering notice and paying a total of $1,250,000, split $625,000 to Majescor and $625,000 to Sunridge, subject to the retention by Majescor and Sunridge of a 2% net smelter returns royalty on the Besakoa property, split 1% to Majescor and 1% to Sunridge. Upon successful conclusion of due diligence, on direction of Olympic, the parties will seek to draft a definitive agreement, subject to each Company's Board approval and to any regulatory approvals that may be required.

Olympic was on site in Madagascar to conduct a technical site visit of the Besakoa property the week of April 15, 2013 and will conduct further due diligence to follow.

About the Besakoa Property, southern Madagascar

The Besakoa polymetallic and graphite property is located in the Atsimo-Andrefana region of South Central Madagascar. The property consists of a block of 144 contiguous map-designated claims covering approximately 60 square kilometres and can be accessed by road from the port city of Toliara.

Between 2008 and 2011, Sunridge completed approximately $2,000,000 worth of exploration work on the project to assess the property for copper/zinc/gold volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) targets. This work included airborne and ground geophysical surveys (electromagnetics, magnetics, gravity and audio-magneto-tellurics) soil geochemical surveys, geological and structural mapping as well as a 5,000 m core drilling program. The results of this work were generally disappointing in regards to base metal targets.

The Besakoa property is located on the same geological trend and approximately 25 km north of Energizer Resources' Green Giant Molo Graphite Project, which has a recently reported National Instrument (NI) 43-101 compliant graphite mineral resource estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment. The graphite mineralization at Besakoa occurs within a folded and highly metamorphosed sequence of sedimentary rocks that trends north to north-northeast and dips steeply to the east.

From preliminary surface mapping and rock sampling conducted by Sunridge at Besakoa, these graphitic meta-sedimentary rocks are closely associated with shallow airborne EM conductors. A total of four strong and shallow airborne EM conductors are defined in the property; two are located in the west (west and far west anomalies) and two in the east (East and far-east anomalies). These shallow airborne EM conductors trends from 2.5 km up to 7.5 km along strike and vary in widths from 100m in the east up to 800m in the west.

The graphite mineralization at Besakoa occurs as disseminated flakes within the highly metamorphosed (amphibolite up to granulite metamorphic grades) sedimentary rocks.

On January 15, 2013, Majescor published the first NI 43-101 compliant mineral Resource estimate for the Douvray porphyry copper-gold project (Inferred Mineral Resource of 189.5 Mt grading 0.30% Cu, 0.05 g/t Au, 1.12 g/t Ag and 23.05 g/t Mo at a base cut-off of 0.1% Cu).
