VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Sept. 18, 2012) - New World Resource Corp. (News - Market indicators)(FRANKFURT:NWU) ("New World" or the "Company") announces that it has further amended the terms of its option agreement (the "Amended Agreement") with Empresa Minera Marte S.R.L. ("MARTE"). Pursuant to the Amended Agreement and subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval, MARTE has an option to acquire 37.4% of the Company's 75% interest in the Lipeña copper-gold project in southern Bolivia

Under the terms of the Amended Agreement, MARTE will:

• earn 17.4% interest by making US$750,000 cash payment to the Company.
   
• earn the remaining 20% by spending US$1,250,000 in mineral exploration expenditures on the Lipeña 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 constitutes 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 is 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), 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, "This is a significant development opportunity for our Lipeña copper-gold project. MARTE plans to spend US$1.25 million on the project in the coming year. Having a well-respected Bolivian miner in charge of the next phase of exploration allows New World to benefit from the investment made in Bolivia while the Company takes a new direction and explores for project opportunities in mining friendly jurisdictions."

New World is presently evaluating several possible projects and the Company hopes to release more information on this initiative in the coming weeks.
