OLA Orla Mining Ltd

Olympic Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:OLA) (the "Company" or "Olympic") has
entered into a non-binding letter agreement with Sunridge Gold Corp ("Sunridge")
and Majescor Resources Inc. ("Majescor"), (Sunridge and Majescor, jointly the
"Seller") for an option to acquire 100% of Daraina Exploration S.A.R.L.
("Daraina"). The Sellers jointly own the shares of Daraina, which holds the
Besakoa mineral exploration property license located in Madagascar.


The Company was on site in Madagascar to conduct a technical site visit the week
of April 15, 2013 and will conduct further due diligence to follow.


The letter agreement outlines the principal terms and conditions to enter into a
two-year option to purchase 100% of the shares of Daraina on signing a
definitive option agreement and paying a total of $150,000, split $75,000 to
Sunridge and $75,000 to Majescor. Before the second year anniversary of signing
a definitive option agreement, Olympic must expend a minimum of $1,000,000
(first year $300,000 obligation) in exploration work on Besakoa. Upon completion
of the expenditures, Olympic may exercise its option to purchase 100% of the
shares of Daraina by delivering notice and paying a total of $1,250,000, split
$625,000 to Sunridge and $625,000 to Majescor, subject to the retention by
Sunridge and Majescor of a 2% net smelter returns royalty on the Besakoa
project, split 1% to Sunridge and 1% to Majescor. Upon successful conclusion of
due diligence, on direction of Olympic, the parties will seek to draft a
definitive agreement, subject to any regulatory approvals that may be required.


Besakoa Property, Madagascar: 

The following property description and technical information in this news
release is historical in nature and is based on data and reports provided to the
Company by the Sellers. 


The Besakoa Property covers approximately 60 square kilometres in south central
Madagascar and can be accessed by road from the port city of Toliara. 


Between 2008 and 2011 Sunridge completed approximately $2,000,000 worth of
exploration work on the project to assess the property for copper/zinc/gold
volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) targets. This work included airborne and
ground geophysical surveys (electromagnetics, magnetics, gravity and
audio-magneto-tellurics) soil geochemical surveys, geological and structural
mapping as well as a 5,000-meter diamond drill program. The results of this work
were generally disappointing in regards to base metal targets. 


The Besakoa property is located on the same geological trend and approximately
25 km north of Energizer Resources' Green Giant Molo Graphite Project, which has
a recently reported 43-101 compliant graphite mineral resource and Preliminary
Economic Assessment. The graphite mineralization at Besakoa occurs within a
folded and highly metamorphosed sequence of sedimentary rocks that trends north
to north-northeast and dips steeply to the east.


From preliminary surface mapping and rock sampling conducted by Sunridge at
Besakoa, these graphitic meta-sedimentary rocks are closely associated with
shallow airborne EM conductors. A total of four strong and shallow airborne EM
conductors are defined in the property; two are located in the west (west and
far west anomalies) and two in the east (East and far-east anomalies). These
shallow airborne EM conductors trends from 2.5km up to 7.5km along strike and
vary in widths from 100m in the east up to 800m in the west.


The graphite mineralization at Besakoa occurs as disseminated flakes within the
highly metamorphosed (amphibolite up to granulite metamorphic grades)
sedimentary rocks. 


Mr. Michael J. Hopley is the Qualified Person for Sunridge and has reviewed and
approved the technical information contained in this press release. Except that
Sunridge has entered into the non-binding letter agreement with Majescor and
Olympic, Mr. Hopley has no relationship with Olympic. Olympic wishes to clarify
that the reported historical information, sample analysis and grades stated in
this news release have not been verified and this historical data has not yet
been reviewed by an independent Qualified Person on behalf of Olympic.
