MOX Morien Resources Corp

Morien Resources Corp. ("Morien" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:MOX), is pleased
to announce it has received an initial royalty payment from Banks Island Gold
Ltd. ("Banks Island") arising from the Company's 1.5% net smelter return ("NSR")
royalty on production from its Yellow Giant Gold project.


Banks Island is a TSX-V listed mining company focused on the development of the
Yellow Giant Gold property located on Banks Island along the North Coast of
British Columbia. Initial production is from the Bob Prospect, one of four
prospects that have established high grade gold resources.(1) The resources
developed to date only extend to 150 metres depth with all zones open at depth
and along strike. Banks Island has identified 12 additional gold showings along
a 10 kilometre trend of gold mineralization.(2) The table below displays gold
production from the Bob Prospect for the period of February 01 through June 10
of this year.(3)

(i)Gold equivalent is calculated by converting payable silver at a ratio of 
1/65th to payable gold ounces                                               
Note: Morien's royalty is based on net smelter return, not on production    



Banks Island is targeting production for 2014 at 28,000 ounces gold
equivalent.(2) Based on that projection, the NSR calculation to date, and
assuming a US$1,200 per ounce gold price, Morien estimates the royalty that will
be generated from the 2014 production to exceed $300,000. Banks Island has a
right to reduce Morien's 1.5% royalty to 1.0% for a cash payment of $300,000.

Morien is a non-operating royalty and minority interest investment Company
focussed on the mining industry. The Company is focussed on unique mineral
industry opportunities in Canada with current interests in:


Donkin Coal Project: Morien holds a 25% minority interest, with a $9 million
carried interest, in one of the largest undeveloped coal deposits in North
America, located within 30 kilometres of a deep water port in Sydney, Nova
Scotia; approximately $43 million has been invested since 2006, including $15
million by Morien. The 75% owner and project manager, Glencore plc, is currently

Black Point Aggregate Project in Q2 2014 and is currently permitting the Project
for expected production within the 2018 to 2020 period. Morien received $1
million in payments from Vulcan on the sale and will receive an additional
payment of $800,000 on the receipt of all environmental permitting necessary for
the mining of aggregate and shipping of aggregate via ocean-going vessels from
the property, anticipated in Q3 2015. Morien and Vulcan are working jointly
towards the successful completion of the Environmental Assessment process.
