San Marco to Carry Out a $400,000 Private Placement

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - March 11, 2014) - San Marco Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SMN) announces that it proposes to carry out a non-brokered private placement of 8,000,000 units at $0.05 per unit for gross proceeds of up to $400,000.

Each unit will consist of one common share and one non-transferable warrant, each warrant exercisable to purchase a further share for a period of 3 years: $0.05 per share for year 1, and $0.10 per share for years 2 and 3. After the four month restricted resale period expires, the expiry of the warrants may be accelerated if the closing price of the Company's shares equals or exceeds $0.20 per share for 15 consecutive trading days and the Company gives notice to the warrant holders that the warrants will expire in 30 days.

Finders' fees equal to 7% of the gross proceeds may be paid in cash or shares. The size of the placement may be increased, or reduced, at the Company's option and is subject to regulatory approval.

The proceeds of the placement will be used for continuing:

• sampling, mapping and trenching on the Company's 100% owned Los Carlos property in preparation for seeking a J.V. partner;
• discussions regarding partners for La Buena and Angeles properties; and
• property reviews and geological investigations primarily in the prolific Sonora / Mojave Megashear Gold Belt, north-west Mexico.

The placement is expected to close on or about April 7^th, 2014.
