Marret Resource Corp. announces appointments to the Board and certain amendments to its corporate governance policies

In the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, notice to the Company must be made not less than 30 and not more than 65 days prior to the date of the annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is to be held on a date that is less than 50 days after the date on which the first public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was made, notice may be made not later than the close of business on the 10th day following such public announcement.

In the case of a special meeting of shareholders (which is not also an annual meeting) called for the purpose of electing directors (whether or not called for other purposes), notice to the Company must be made not later than the close of business on the 15th day following the day on which the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting was made.

The By-Law Amendment is effective immediately and will be placed before shareholders for ratification at the annual and special meeting of shareholders of the Company on June 26, 2013 (the "Meeting"). A copy of the By-Law Amendment will be filed under the Company's profile at www.sedar.com.

Approval of Majority Voting Policy

The board of directors also approved a "Majority Voting Policy" which provides that in an uncontested election of directors, each director should be elected by the vote of a majority of the common shares represented in person or by proxy at any shareholder's meeting for the election of directors. Accordingly, if any nominee for director receives a greater number of votes "withheld" from his or her election than votes "for" such election, that director shall promptly tender his or her resignation to the Chair of the Board of Directors following the meeting. In this policy, an "uncontested election" means an election where the number of nominees for director equals the number of directors to be elected. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board of Directors shall consider the resignation and whether or not it should be accepted. Resignations shall be expected to be accepted except in situations where extenuating circumstances would warrant the applicable Director to continue to serve as a board member. The Board of Directors shall disclose their election decision, via press release, within 90 days of the applicable annual meeting. If a resignation is accepted, the Board of Directors may appoint a new Director to fill any vacancy created by resignation.
