NMC Resource Announces Financial Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

VANCOUVER, BC- NMC Resource Corporation ("NMC Resource") (TSX-V:NRC) released its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.

HIGHLIGHTS

·         Recorded $2,638,841 in sales revenue
·         Produced 172 tonnes of molybdenum concentrates at 0.31% MoS 2 mill head grade and 88% recovery
·         Recorded $488,891 in adjusted EBITDA* and $684,425 in EBITDA at NMC Moland Mine ("Moland") operation
·          Sold 208,805 pounds of molybdenum at US$9.22 cash cost per pound of molybdenum sold

NMC Resource recorded $2,638,841 in sales revenue and $604,131 as net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

The revenue in the first quarter of 2012 decreased by 29.5% from the first quarter of 2011 ($3,744,031) mainly due to lower molybdenum prices.

From April 1st  2012, NMC Resource has increased its daily throughput by 20% compared to 2011 levels and plans to implement a further 15% increase by the end of this year.

During the month of April 2012, the average daily throughput exceeded the target increase of 20% with production averaging at 1,118 tonnes, a 28% increase compared to the average daily throughput in 2011.

The average cash cost per pound of molybdenum sold is expected to decrease due to the increased production and optimizations efforts at the mine.

An additional production ramp-up is scheduled for later this year, intended to further improve the mines economics.

As the sole producer of molybdenum in South Korea, NMC Resource is also examining a number of marketing and production strategies to further enhance the mines profitability.

* Adjusted EBITDA: Net earnings before interest, taxes, amortization and share-based payment
