MRO Millrock Resources Inc

Millrock Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MRO) ("Millrock" or "the Company")
announced today that it has entered a binding letter agreement to purchase
Pembrook Mexico Holdings Corp. ("PMXH") and all of its assets, which include the
shares of a wholly-owned Mexican subsidiary and its nine 100%-owned mineral
properties, two mineral properties under option, an extensive geological
database and various exploration equipment. The projects, primarily located in
the State of Sonora, Mexico, have potential for large-scale copper-gold porphyry
deposits, high-sulphidation epithermal gold deposits, high-grade vein gold
deposits, and skarn and replacement-style silver-zinc-lead deposits.


Gregory A. Beischer, Millrock President & CEO stated: "We are very pleased to be
making this purchase and thereby acquiring eleven high-potential projects at low
cost. Several of the projects should be of immediate interest to funding
partners. Most importantly, the geological database and technical team
associated with the acquired company gives Millrock the knowledge and
operational ability to effectively compete in this jurisdiction. We will be
well-positioned to take advantage of many new project generation opportunities
that are being created by Mexico's mining law reform. We plan to move
aggressively to acquire more projects in Mexico but will still remain highly
active in Alaska and the southwest US. This has been a great opportunity to
increase the scope and breadth of Millrock in a mining-friendly jurisdiction." 


Philip St. George, Millrock's Chief Exploration Officer stated: "The Rio Sonora
and Las Cuarentas Oeste projects have some great indications of buried
porphyries. There could be another deposit similar in scope to the
long-producing Cananea copper mine on our new claims. The potential for
high-grade gold deposits at the Los Chinos and Ramard projects is also
excellent."


PMXH is a British Columbia incorporated holding company that was owned by
Pembrook Mining Corp. ("Pembrook"). The mineral properties are held in a
Mexico-registered subsidiary that is beneficially wholly-owned by PMXH. Millrock
and Pembrook will work diligently to complete a definitive agreement by the
Closing Date, which will be no later than June 10, 2014. The transaction is
subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") and due diligence. The
terms of the transaction include cash payments, Millrock share payments and a
royalty:


Cash payments: 



--  $250,000 on the Closing Date. 
--  $250,000 on or before the first anniversary of the Closing Date, payable
    in cash or Millrock shares or a combination thereof at Pembrook's sole
    discretion, subject to TSX-V approval.



Share payments:



--  Initial Share Payment: Millrock will issue 7,297,297 of its shares to
    Pembrook on the Closing Date. This will result in Pembrook owning 7.76%
    of Millrock issued and outstanding share capital as of today's date
    ("Pembrook Ownership"). 
--  Additional Share Payment: One year from the Closing Date, Millrock will
    issue to Pembrook that number of shares that will ensure that the
    Pembrook Ownership established today has not been diminished. However,
    the requirement for Millrock to make the additional share payment will
    be voided if Pembrook sells any of the shares issued under the Initial
    Share Payment during the year following the Closing Date. 
--  Shares issued will be subject to a hold period of four months.



Royalty: 



--  A royalty of 1.5% on gold and silver and 1.0% on other metals applies to
    production from any Mexico property held by PMXH (and not already
    subject to an underlying royalty) as of the Closing Date of the purchase
    but no others.



Following is a brief synopsis of the main PMXH project assets. Further
descriptions and a location map can be found on Millrock's website at this link:


Rio Sonora Project, Sonora, northern Mexico, Cu-Au, 100%: This is a large land
position situated between Cananea and La Caridad mines. The target is a buried
copper porphyry beneath conglomerate valley fill. Copper occurrences and
alteration in surrounding rocks provide support for geophysical targets beneath
the conglomerate. 


Las Cuarentas Oeste Project, Sonora, Mexico, Cu (Au), 100%: This property is
situated on a very large, intense, zoned alteration system typical of porphyry
copper deposits. Very little work has been done by prior workers because no
actual intrusive porphyry rock is exposed at surface and base metal occurrences
are limited. A buried porphyry copper-molybdenum deposit is possible. 


Las Cuarentas Este Project, Sonora, Mexico, Au-Ag, 100%: The property is
situated on a continuation of the mineralized structure associated with the
adjoining Mercedes gold-silver mine that is operated by Yamana Gold Inc. There
is potential for high-grade epithermal gold deposits on this property. 


Violeta Project, northern Sonora - Au veins/breccias, 100%: This is a fractional
claim block in the core of a known mineralized system in northern Sonora. The
surrounding claims are owned by another company that has expressed interest in
purchasing this key land block. 


Los Chinos Project, Sonora near Hermosillo, orogenic Au, 100%: This project
targets Herradura-type gold deposits. It is located along a juxtaposed contact
of high grade Proterozoic metamorphic rocks against relatively un-metamorphosed
but deformed metasedimentary rocks of Jura-Cretaceous age. Several known gold
showings suggest a favourable exploration environment. Preliminary exploration
has defined some interesting gold values, including a newly discovered zone of
oxidized pegmatite and quartz veining in the Proterozoic rocks. 


Ramard Project, Sonora, epithermal / vein Au, 80 km north of Hermosillo, 100%:
The claims cover a historic, polymetallic stream sediment anomaly as well as a
known epithermal stockwork vein showing. Two areas of high grade gold in vein
float with magnetite stockworks are present. Additionally, a large skarn system
was recently discovered. The skarn contained anomalous silver, lead and zinc. 


Villa Hidalgo, Sonora, vein Au, 100%:  This claim is on the southern extension
of the Sacoton-Cananea-Caridad porphyry trend and was acquired on the basis of
favourable geology and colour anomalies. Reconnaissance exploration has led to
the discovery of auriferous stockwork zones near some historic mine workings.
Further mapping and prospecting are warranted.


La Union Project, Sonora, Au-Ag, 100%: This project is situated in the Herradura
district of northwest Sonora. Mapping has identified an area with high-grade
silver-gold (and lead-zinc) veins. 


Los Chivos Project, Central Baja California, orogenic gold, 100%: Reconnaissance
exploration has defined some high grade vein mineralization in the district and
there may be potential for larger Herradura-style orogenic gold deposits.


Guadalcazar Project, San Luis Potosi, central Mexico, Au-Ag, 100% Option from
Servicio Geologico Mexico:  At this project a skarn zone with strong silver is
known. Pembrook, from a 2013 drilling program, has reported high grade silver
over significant drill intervals including 22 m @ 148 gpt Ag. 


Caotan Project, Chiapas, southern Mexico, Au, 100% Option from Riverside: Early
stage exploration has defined several drainages covering ten km of strike that
yield transported float of high sulphidation gold mineralization consisting of
vuggy silica, silicification and iron oxides with strong gold-silver. Community
relations work will be necessary to gain access.


The technical information within this document has been reviewed and approved by
