TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Nov. 6, 2013) - Marret Resource Corp. (TSX:MAR) ("Marret" or the "Company") announces that it has reported a total comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 of $2.9 million or $0.15 per share (2012 -$4.1 million or $0.21 per share) and a total comprehensive loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 of $5.7 million or $0.30 per share (2012 - loss of $5.7 million or $0.29 per share). As of September 30, 2013, the Company had total assets of $111.1 million, liabilities of $13.0 million, shareholders' equity of $98.1 million and a net asset value per share of $5.055. The financial statements along with management's discussion and analysis can be found on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) or on Marret's website (www.marret.com).

The third quarter was a bounce back period for the resource sectors after a very negative second quarter. The Energy sector continues to outperform the Mining & Materials sector. The TSX Energy Composite gained 6.59% (YTD +7.47%) in Q3 and Mining & Materials rose 4.54% (YTD -27.67%). The Company's portfolio gained 2.98% (YTD -5.34%) a reasonably good result seeing as the portfolio is still heavily weighted towards debt securities for capital preservation and income.

Valuations in the resource sectors, particularly mining, are very attractive and redemptions of resource equity funds have shown signs of peaking. Furthermore, write offs by mining companies are slowing and balance sheets improving. Having noted all of the above, the Company's Manager does not expect a huge rally in mining equities but believes that the downside risk now is small and upside potential is more favorable. Accordingly the Manager expects to look for opportunities to add more equity risk to the portfolio while ensuring that it continues to generate sufficient income to pay the dividend.
