New World Resource Corp. ("New World" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:NW)(FRANKFURT:NWU) announces that it has closed its previously announced
amendment to the option agreement (the "Amended Agreement") with Empresa Minera
Marte S.R.L. ("MARTE"). Pursuant to the Amended Agreement, MARTE has been
granted an option to acquire 37.4% of the Company's 75% interest in the Lipena
copper-gold project in southern Bolivia. 


At closing, the Company received US$500,000 from MARTE, representing a partial
payment towards earning 17.4% interest. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended
Agreement, MARTE must pay an additional US$250,000 on or before December 25,
2012 to earn the initial 17.4%. To earn the remaining 20%, MARTE must spend
US$1,250,000 in mineral exploration expenditures on the Lipena copper-gold
project over the next 12 months.


Completion of this transaction will result in MARTE holding 62.4% of the project
and New World will hold 37.6%.


Luis Mercado, an officer of MARTE, is a director and the largest shareholder of
New World. The Amended Agreement constituted a related party transaction
pursuant to Policy 5.9 of the TSX Venture Exchange and Multilateral Instrument
61-101 - Protection of Minority Securities Holders in Special Transactions ("MI
61-101"). The Amended Agreement was exempt from the formal valuation and
minority shareholder approval requirements pursuant to Part 5 of MI 61-101 by
virtue of the financial hardship exemption set forth in Sections 5.5(g) and
5.7(e) of MI 61-101, respectively. The terms of the Amended Agreement were
negotiated by the independent directors of the Company, and Mr. Mercado declared
his interest in the transaction and abstained from voting on it. 


New World Resources CEO, John Lando commented, "With the closing of the
Agreement, New World is focused on evaluating possible projects in mining
friendly jurisdictions while our Lipena copper-gold project benefits from the
US$1.25 million exploration program that will be completed by our partner,
MARTE."
