Morien Resources Corp. ("Morien" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:MOX), is pleased
to announce it has entered into agreements ("Agreements") with Vulcan Materials
Company ("Vulcan") and the Municipality of the District of Guysborough ("MODG")
for the development of the Company's Black Point Marine Aggregate Project
("Black Point" or the "Project") in Guysborough County, Nova Scotia. Vulcan is
the largest producer of construction aggregates in North America with over 340
operating facilities concentrated in 18 states, the Bahamas and Mexico.


Under the terms of the Agreements, Vulcan will assume Morien's interest in Black
Point and will become manager and operator of the Project in exchange for
reimbursing Morien for previous expenditures on the Project through milestone
payments totaling $1,800,000, and a royalty stream payable on all material sold
from the Project over the life of the mine. The first payment of $1,000,000 is
due on signing, and a second payment of $800,000 is due upon the approval and
receipt of all environmental permitting necessary for the mining and shipping of
aggregate from the Project. With these milestone payments, Morien has secured
funding that will support the Company's activities into 2015 and a royalty
stream that could be a source of long term cash flow for the Company. Since its
separation from Erdene Resource Development Corp. in November 2012, Morien has
continued to execute its business plan, including the sale of its non-core
assets, and now the structuring of a favourable deal for all stakeholders on one
of its core projects.


Vulcan's participation in the Black Point Project brings a world-class
international company to Nova Scotia which, with the completion of the necessary
permitting, market evaluation and feasibility studies, could lead to the
creation of many jobs and provision of tax revenue for the province.


The Project consists of the development and operation of a construction
aggregate quarry and an associated marine terminal adjacent to the quarry, along
the south shore of Chedabucto Bay in Guysborough County, Nova Scotia. The
Project is ideally situated with a large volume of high- quality granite located
on deep, ice-free water, to enable construction of a deep water marine terminal
for aggregates shipments to markets along the eastern and Gulf coasts of the
U.S. and potentially to eastern Canada.


"Having completed these Agreements, Morien has secured financing without any
dilution to its shareholders and can now turn its fullest attention to advancing
and creating value in the Donkin Coal Project in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia," said
John Budreski, Morien's President and CEO. "Morien would like to thank both the
Municipality of the District of Guysborough and the people of the region for
their support for this Project. As a Nova Scotian company, Morien looks forward
to seeing the potential of this Project un-locked and the creation of additional
long-term employment for the people of the Guysborough and Canso region."


Morien and Vulcan will host an Open House session at the Chedabucto Fire Hall in
Queensport, Guysborough County, Nova Scotia on April 22, 2014 from 3:00 to 7:00
pm to inform the surrounding community of Project plans. Details regarding the
Black Point Aggregate Project are available on the Canadian Environmental
Assessment Agency's website (click here) and on Morien's website (click here).
