• Darwin has a strong technical team holding many years of Peru exploration experience with a track record of discovery. The corporate team has a long term successful history in the Canadian capital markets;
• The Company is well-funded with C$4M in cash reserves and has sufficient working capital to carry out its planned exploration programs in 2012, and to initiate drilling at its key projects;
• Darwin is well supported by several institutions including The Sentient Group ("Sentient"), an independent private equity fund with over US$2.5 billion under management in the global natural resources space and a long term and successful history of investing in Latin America. Sentient is the Company's largest shareholder and will hold 24.1% of Darwin on an undiluted basis. Pinetree Capital will hold an 11.7% stake on an undiluted basis;
• Darwin aims to drill the Alto Quemado copper and gold project within the next quarter (subject to the final permission process which is well advanced);
• To date Darwin holds five other gold and copper prospects with known mineralization which the Company is currently evaluating;
• Darwin owns more than 30 titles granted or under application, and an aggressive project acquisition strategy is active;
• The Company has a strong exploration database in Peru, enabling a rapid evaluation of new opportunities.

• Advancing the Alto Quemado copper-gold project to initial drilling during early Q3 2012 to test both the porphyry copper target and the high-grade gold-copper vein system on the margin of the porphyry target;
• Reviewing and assessing the historical results on the 100% owned Rurimarac gold project with the objective to advance to the next phase of work. Rurimarac is located in the Cordillera Negra of central Peru, 35km south of Barrick's Pierina gold mine. The target is an oxide gold deposit associated with a brecciated structure that outcrops over 700 meters. Historic sampling by third parties has included 65 pit and trench samples that ranged from 0.01 to 39.2g/t Au and averaged 5.1g/t Au. Only one historic drill hole tested the mineralized target and intersected 6m @ 3g/t Au oxide in a highly weathered zone with 50% core recoveries. We believe this mineralized breccia has not yet been adequately tested.
• Evaluating the current property portfolio and prioritizing future work; and
• Identifying new gold and copper opportunities for acquisition in Peru and elsewhere.

The permit process to allow drilling at Alto Quemado is well advanced and the estimate for the initiation of drilling at Alto Quemado is early Q3 2012. In order to drill, three individual permits are being sought:

• An application for a permit for surface use for mining exploration activities will be submitted shortly to Autodema, the owner of the surface rights at Auto Quemado. The processing time to approve this permit is expected to take several weeks.
• An independent environmental impact assessment of the property is now complete and the application for an environmental permit for up to 14 drill platforms, extendable to 20 if required, will be submitted to the Government environmental authorities shortly.
• A water permit for mining exploration will then be submitted to the regional water authority for approval. We look forward to reporting results of the Company's exploration efforts over the coming months.

Darwin has recently activated its new website, enabling investors and interested parties to review detailed information of the Company's projects and team. Please refer to www.darwinresources.com for further information.

Mawson adds second drill rig at Rompas project

2012-04-09 08:23 ET - News Release

NEWS RELEASE                                                                                                                                 March 05, 2012

FIRST DIAMOND DRILL PROGRAM COMMENCES AT ROMPAS IN FINLAND

Vancouver, Canada – Mawson Resources Limited (“Mawson”) TSX – MAW; Frankfurt – MRY. Mr Michael Hudson, President & CEO, announces that a diamond drill rig has commenced a 3000 metre drill program at the Rompas gold project in Northern Finland.  This is the first deep diamond drilling program to be undertaken at the project.  A 3,000 metre drill program has been planned and the average depth of drill holes will be 100 metres.

Mr Hudson states:  “The first deep drill hole program at Rompas has been awaited for some time and although the permitted areas do not contain the highest priority drill targets, the results are expected to significantly enhance our understanding of the mineral system.  We will adhere to international environmental best practice as we conduct this first drill program at Rompas.  Initial results from the drill program are expected to be available in Q2 2012.”

The known footprint of mineralization at Rompas is 6 km by up to 270 m wide.  The results from recent field programs show outstanding grades, high frequency and broad geographical extent of gold and uranium showings at Rompas within multiple structures in an area with only 5-10% outcrop.  Significant results from the 2011 field program include channel assays results of 1.40 m @ 2,529 g/t Au and 5.1 % U3O8, 1.13 m @ 343.6 g/t Au and 0.21 % U3O8 and 0.5 m @ 269.0 g/t Au and 0.99 % U3O8. The weighted average of all 74 channel intervals from the 2011 program was 1.40 m @ 51.9 g/t Au and 0.13 %U3O8.  Channel samples are considered representative of in situ mineralization.

Due to the lack of detailed work that has been done on this relatively new discovery, little is understood about the nature of the mineralizing controls.  In any event, it would appear that the exploration target is a large, bulk-tonnage vein system that may be genetically related to a granitoid complex that occurs a few kilometers to the north of the property. The possibility of finding potentially economic high grade vein structures must also be considered.

In order to access the drilling area, Mawson signed a contract with landholders to access and drill on private land that incorporates +500 metres of strike potential at two areas at South Rompas.  The southern area (18.9 hectares) encompasses a 280m trend of the southern extensions of the known mineralized zone.  The northern area (24.8 hectares) covers an area of 240m strike in the central zone of the South Rompas project area.  According to discussions with landholders, Mawson will commence drilling in the southern area first.  The agreement has been made according to the Finnish Mining Act which allows for private agreements to be reached between explorers and landholders.  Mawson will specifically drill for and target gold.

Mawson holds 833 claims and claim applications for 75,340 hectares at the Rompas Project.  A total of 110 exploration claims that cover a surface area of 10,580 hectares and form the core claims at Rompas were granted on October 31, 2010 but do not come into legal force until after a standard appeal process.    A key decision point on the appeal process is expected Q2 2012.

Mawson samples were prepared and analyzed by ALS Chemex Ltd.'s laboratories in Pitea, Sweden, and Vancouver, Canada, respectively.

The qualified person for Mawson's Finnish projects, Mr Terry Lees, VP Exploration for Mawson and Fellow of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists, has reviewed and verified the contents of this release.

Mawson gains permission to drill at Rompas

VANCOUVER , Feb. 9, 2012 /CNW/ - Mawson Resources Limited ("Mawson") (TSX: MAW.TO - News) (Frankfurt: MRY.F - News). Mr Michael Hudson , President & CEO, announces that the Company has signed a contract with a private landholder to diamond drill at Rompas.

Key points include:

• Contract entitles Mawson to diamond drill on private land that incorporates +500 metres of strike potential at South Rompas;
• Diamond drill contractor has been identified and who will mobilize a drill rig to site in early March 2012 .

The agreement covers two areas at South Rompas.  The southern area (18.9 hectares) encompasses a 280m trend of the southern extensions of the known mineralized zone.  The northern area (24.8 hectares) covers an area of 240m strike in the central zone of the South Rompas project area (Figure 1).  According to discussions with landholders, Mawson will commence drilling in the southern area first.  The agreement has been made according to the Finnish Mining Act which allows for private agreements to be reached between explorers and landholders.  Mawson will specifically drill for and target gold.

Mawson has also identified a diamond drill contractor to mobilize a drill rig to site in early March.  An initial 3,000 metre drill program has been planned.  The average depth of drill holes will be 100 metres.  Further information regarding the details of the program will be released when they are available.

Mr Hudson states:  "This is a landmark moment for the Rompas project.  The first deep drill hole program has been awaited for some time and although the permitted areas do not contain the highest priority drill targets, the results are expected to significantly enhance our understanding of the mineral system.  We shall apply world's best environmental practice as we conduct this first drill program at Rompas."

Mawson holds 833 claims and claim applications for 75,340 hectares at the Rompas Project.  A total of 110 exploration claims that cover a surface area of 10,580 hectares and form the core claims at Rompas were granted on October 31, 2010 but do not come into legal force until after a standard appeal process.  A key decision point on the appeal process is expected late Q1 2012.  The known footprint of mineralization at Rompas is 6 km by up to 270 m wide.

Mawson discovers further mineralization at Rompas in Finland with pit samples assaying up to 557ppm gold

VANCOUVER, Feb. 6, 2012 / - Mawson Resources Limited ("Mawson") TSX - MAW; Frankfurt - MRY. Mr Michael Hudson, President & CEO, announces new results from the 2011 exploration program at the Company's 100% owned Rompas project in northern Finland.

Key points include:

• A new zone of mineralization defined under thicker glacial soil with grab samples from individual one metre deep pits  assaying 557ppm, 147ppm and 201ppm gold within a zone extending over a 30 metre strike;
  
  
• Continuity of lower grade gold and uranium mineralization further established, highlighting mineralized trends;
  
  
• New geophysics demonstrates gold mineralization is hosted by a chargeable sequence which extends under cover away from known gold bearing areas.
  
  
• Further bonanza gold grades from grab samples assay up to 33,200ppm gold.

A new zone of mineralization has been defined late in the field season at the southern extension of North Rompas under thin glacial till.  Grab samples taken from three separate one metre deep (hand dug) pits returned 557ppm Au & 0.8% U₃O₈, 147ppm Au & 36.8% U₃O₈ and 201ppm Au & 0.1% U₃O₈ within a zone extending along strike over 30 metres under thin cover (Figure 1).    Due to the thicker till in the area only one metre hand dug pits were able to access the weathered bedrock zones which were subsequently grab sampled.  One additional grab sample, interpreted to be located 20m to the north in a parallel structure assayed 7,630ppm Au and 22.4% U₃O₈ (Figure 1).

Importantly, in the southern extension of North Rompas, continuity of lower grade mineralization has been demonstrated over an area of 110 metres along strike and 90 metres width (Figure 1).  Extent of known mineralization is only limited by thick soil cover where bedrock cannot be reached by radiometry nor hand digging due to current permit restrictions.  The new zone is located 300m south of the northern extension of North Rompas zone where continuity was previously established between mineralized zones (Figure 1), as reported in the Mawson press release dated 31 October, 2011.

One grab sample at South Rompas, located 4.6km to the south, returned 33,200ppm Au and 56.6% U₃O₈ (Figure 2), which to date represents the highest grade sample yet taken at Rompas.  This sample was taken from a boudin in a vein that occurs within the known extent of mineralization.  Grab samples are selective by nature and are unlikely to represent average grades on the property.

In addition, Mawson recently completed a 22 line km gradient array IP geophysical survey at North and South Rompas.  This survey highlighted a chargeable host sequence that correlates with mineralized areas in both North and South Rompas.  The chargeable sequence is far more extensive under areas of shallow till and soil cover that are too deep to be tested by surface sampling (Figures 1 and 2).

Mr Hudson states:  "Rompas continues to deliver with grade, continuity and scale.  Further discoveries and evidence for continuity of mineralization at surface over considerable distances augurs well for the prospectivity of this exciting new mineral district.  Additionally, the recent IP geophysical survey clearly highlights the host sequence at Rompas.  The chargeable sequence is shown to continue extensively undercover away from areas where high grade gold and uranium discoveries have been made."

The Rompas mineral system is hosted by metabasalt, dolomite, calc-silicate, dolerite and volcaniclastics, all part of the Palaeoproterozoic Perapohja Schist Belt.  These rocks have undergone at least two major deformation events, leading to a locally strong schistosity (oriented 320-340 degrees) and metamorphism up to amphibolite-grade resulting in diopside-tremolite-actinolite assemblages in the calc-silicate rocks.

Gold and uranium mineralization at Rompas is hosted by a quartz-calc-silicate vein array and related alteration selvages.  The calc-silicate veins (amphibole-pyroxene-quartz-carbonate ±gold, uraninite) and alteration selvages (biotite-amphibole-K-feldspar) have been metamorphosed to amphibolite facies, following a structural episode of flattening within high strain zones. It is interpreted that the veins are an early (pre-structuring) vein array, but that the bonanza-grade mineralization is likely a result of the structuring and metamorphism. Interestingly, lower grade gold (1-20ppm Au) with weakly anomalous uranium (1-40ppm U) is known to occur outside the high-grade pods, but still within the veins and/or alteration selvages.  The spectacular bonanza gold and uranium grades are generally contained in pods of calcite and amphibole, often associated with boudinaged "ladder veins" within the more extensive vein system, indicating they could be local upgraded remobilizations from the veins.

Due to the lack of detailed work that has been done on this relatively new discovery, little is understood about the nature of the mineralizing controls.  In any event, it would appear that the exploration target is a large, bulk-tonnage vein system that may be genetically related to a granitoid complex that occurs a few kilometers to the north of the property. The possibility of finding potentially economic high grade vein structures must also be considered.

Mawson holds 833 claims and claim applications for 75,340 hectares at the Rompas Project.  A total of 110 exploration claims that cover a surface area of 10,580 hectares and form the core claims at Rompas were granted on October 31, 2010 but do not come into legal force until after a standard appeal process.  Therefore sampling, to date, has been restricted to low impact digging and trenching by hand through soil to access bedrock for diamond saw channel and grab sampling.

Mawson samples were prepared by ALS Chemex Ltd's laboratory in Pitea, Sweden and analyzed by Au-ICP21, ME-MS41u, PGM-ICP27 and ME-MS61u techniques by ALS Chemex Ltd's laboratory in Vancouver, Canada and Saskatchewan Research Council using standard ICP partial and full digestion and fire assay methods.  The qualified person for Mawson's Finnish projects, Mr Terry Lees, VP Exploration for Mawson and Fellow of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists has reviewed and verified the contents of this release.
