About Oceanus Resources Corporation

Oceanus Resources Corporation is a gold exploration company run by a team of experienced mine finders that have successfully raised $6.4 million over the past 18 months. Oceanus is advancing the La Lajita Property located in the Sierra Madre Gold and Silver Belt near Durango, Mexico where it has discovered a high grade "clavos" (Santo Nino Zone) carrying visible gold. The highlight result from the 2013 drill program was 7.1 grams per tonne gold and 48.8 g/t silver over a core length of 20 meters, including 18.9 g/t gold and 71.3 g/t silver over a core length of 6.5 meters, in diamond drill hole OCN-13-005. The Company recently completed a 3,000 meter drilling program at La Lajita to define the high grade clavos at Santo Nino along with a nearby clavos at the Dos Hermanos Zone. Results from the 2014 drill program are pending.

At La Lajita, seven epithermal, low-sulphidation gold and silver prospects with considerable hematite and silica alteration are hosted along NW-SE trending fault/breccia structures traced over a strike length of 3 kilometers and to a depth of 150 meters. One of these prospects, Mina la Guadalupe, has gold mineralization exposed for 200 meters on surface in numerous small scale workings, and in one significant underground working, where the miners drifted in the high-grade gold mineralization 120 meters along strike.
