CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Nov. 11, 2013) - Margaux Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:MRL) ("Margaux" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement (the "Option Agreement") dated November 8, 2013 with an arms-length third party, Sultan Minerals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SUL) ("Sultan"), a British Columbia company, for the acquisition of 100% of the Jersey Emerald Tungsten-Zinc Property (the "Property"), located in southeastern B.C. With the purchase of the Property, Margaux intends to switch its strategic focus to the exploration and development of the Property.

Under the terms of the Option Agreement, Margaux will have the exclusive option to acquire the Property by:

1. making payments to Sultan of an aggregate $4.0 million, paid in several installments on or before November 8, 2016 as follows:

1. an initial deposit of $50,000 paid previously;
2. within ten (10) business days of execution of the Option Agreement, a cash payment of $450,000
3. on or before the first anniversary of the execution of the Option Agreement, a cash payment of $750,000;
4. on or before the second anniversary of the execution of the Option Agreement, a cash payment of $1,250,000; and
5. on or before the third anniversary of the execution of the Option Agreement, a cash payment of $1,500,000; and

2. incurring not less than $2,000,000 in expenditures on the Property on or before the third anniversary of the execution of the Option Agreement.

Margaux will use its best efforts to incur expenditures of $6,000,000 on the Property on or prior to the third anniversary of the execution of the Option Agreement.

Sultan will retain a 1.5% net smelter returns royalty ("NSR") on the Property. For a period of 60 days following the earlier of (a) the commencement of commercial production on the Property or (b) the completion of a feasibility study on the Property, Margaux may purchase 50% of the NSR (being a 0.75% net smelter returns royalty) from Sultan for a payment to Sultan of $5.0 million.

Pursuant to the Option Agreement, Margaux will assume all existing royalties on the Property.

The Jersey Emerald Property is located in southeastern British Columbia, 10 kilometres southeast of the community of Salmo. The Property consists of mineral claims and crown grants covering approximately 15,000 hectares in the Nelson Mining Division. The Property includes British Columbia's second largest historic lead zinc mine as well as Canada's second largest historic tungsten mine which have been inactive since 1973. The property has a remnant resource for tungsten (please see News Release January 21, 2009 issued by Sultan) and for lead zinc (please see News Release March 1, 2010 issued by Sultan). In addition, the Property is prospective for additional deposits of tungsten, zinc, lead, gold and silver.

Acquiring the option to purchase the Property provides Margaux time to further evaluate and explore the historic production and future potential. The acquisition of the Property will result in a change of business for Margaux, Margaux previously focused on oil and gas exploration and production in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. Margaux will retain its remaining producing Jumpbush oil well.

Margaux plans to use proceeds of the previously announced private placement to fund the initial installment of $450,000.

Prior to completion of the transaction, the Company anticipates a further news release respecting changes to the Company's board and management teams aligned with the change in strategic direction associated with the transaction with Sultan.

The Company anticipates that it will seek an exemption from the Exchange's "Sponsorship" requirements; however there can be no assurance that such an exemption will be granted on the terms desired by the Company or at all.

Completion of the transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including Exchange approval and, if required, Shareholder approval. A condition precedent to the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Option Agreement is receipt of all required regulatory (including Exchange) and shareholder approvals. There can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.
