OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Dec. 8, 2009) - Mazorro Resources Inc. ("Mazorro" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:MZO)(FRANKFURT:JAM) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement in principle (the"Agreement") with Congo Mining Company sprl ("CMC") of Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo ("DRC"). Under the terms of the Agreement, Mazorro has agreed to acquire a 100% interest in six mineral exploration permits located in eastern DRC, two of which are currently held by CMC, and the additional four permits will be acquired by CMC from a related party. The exploration permits total approximately 235 km2 ranging in size from 12 km2 to 108 km2.

Consideration payable to CMC for the acquisition of a 100% interest in the six exploration permits will consist of US $100,000 in cash and the issuance of 800,000 common shares of the Company. The cash consideration is payable as follows: US $25,000 within five days of execution of the Agreement; and US $75,000 payable at the earlier of the first anniversary of the definitive purchase agreement or upon the completion and public filing of a National Instrument 43-101 Report evidencing mineralization within the areas covered by the exploration permits. Mazorro has also committed to incur expenditures relating to exploration activities totalling a minimum aggregate of US $500,000 on or before the third anniversary of the definitive purchase agreement.

Closing of the acquisition is contemplated to occur within 90 days and is subject to a number of terms and conditions, including: the satisfactory completion of due diligence relating to the legal and proprietary title of the permits and historical geological information regarding the permits; CMC having completed the acquisition of the outstanding four permits; and regulatory approval, including review and acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The exploration permits are designated as PR 7971 and PR 7811 (currently owned by CMC), and as PR 8500, PR 8501, PR 7972 and PR 7587 (to be acquired by CMC prior to closing). Mazorro intends to conduct exploration programs on all permit areas in order to complete a National Instrument 43-101 Report on mineralization. The regional geology relating to the permits, which are located along the western edge of the Kibara Metallogenic Belt, is mineral rich with rare earths, tungsten, diamonds and gold. Within Permit PR 7971, there has been a reported history of artisan diggings of gold, cassiterite and rare earth associated monazite. Societe Miniere du Kivu ("SOMINKI") produced 5,000 tonnes of cassiterite from the area covered by PR 7971 in the 1970s and early 1980s. Additionally, tantalite was produced by SOMINKI from PR 7971 for Coltan during the early 1980s. PR 7811 also has an artisan history of monazite, tantalite and gold.

In June 2008, CMC had conducted a satellite imagery interpretation of the area covered by the permits in the North Kivu and Maniema Districts. The interpretation work concentrated on producing lithostructural interpretations and on searching for structural and alluvial features that would assist in guiding exploration of the region. PR 7971 was noted to show a number of circular target features interpreted as possible intrusions. PR 7911 showed large areas of disturbed ground ensuing from artisan work and diggings, which is consistent with the known artisan activity in this area. As well, a large contact shear zone was located on the eastern side of the area covered by the permits.

Mr. Paul Lemmon, CIM, P. Geo., is acting as qualified person (as defined by National Instrument 43-101) and has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information in this press release.

Mazorro presently has 21,934,395 common shares outstanding.
