Olympus Pacific  Minerals Inc.   News Release

OLYMPUS EXPANDS GLOBAL GOLD RESOURCE TO 4.53 MILLION OUNCES BAU RESOURCE INCREASES 23%  TO MORE THAN 3 MILLION OUNCES

Toronto, March 05, 2012 - Olympus Pacific Minerals Inc. (TSX & ASX: OYM, OTCQX: OLYMF, and Frankfurt: OP6). Chief Executive Officer, John Seton, is pleased to announce that building on the production increases of 2011, gold resources have increased by 569,200 ounces to a new total of 4.53 Million ounces (refer to the attached Reserve/Resource Table at Appendix A).

John Seton (CEO), said: �This resource increase is important as it confirms Bau as a major gold field.  Shareholders should also bear in mind that:

  • Bau has already yielded some 3,000,000 oz (estimated) gold from historic production;
  • Many deposits at Bau Central remain open along strike and down dip; and
  • The Company holds consolidated tenements over most of the Bau gold trend, much of which remains under-explored
In addition, new ore sources recently identified at the Company�s Bong Mieu mining property in Vietnam are yet to be explored, whilst exploration of the Capcapo gold-copper project in the Philippines is scheduled to commence during the second half of 2012.

Continued exploration on all these properties will contribute to resource expansion during 2012.
