Morumbi Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MOC) ("Morumbi" or the "Company") announces
that it has hired a team headed by Eddie Mucha to provide operations management
and logistics support for its Papua New Guinea ("PNG") and Bougainville
operations and Andrias Kristianto to head up its planned mineral exploration
programs in both PNG and Bougainville.


New Operations Team

Eddie Mucha began his career in England and was hired by Bougainville Copper
Ltd. to move to Bougainville in the early stages of construction of the Panguna
Mine in the early 1970s to coordinate catering and camp logistics. Mr. Mucha who
speaks the local Tok Pisin language went on to have a distinguished career in
logistics and camp and catering services to some of the world's most successful
projects.


From Bougainville he moved to Rio Tinto's Mount Tom Price Iron Ore Mine in
Western Australia; moved back to PNG in 1989 to be involved in pipeline and oil
processing construction at Kutubu in the Highlands, and then on to the then
Placer Dome's massive Porgera Mine nearby. He was hired as Operations Manager
for the South Pacific Games in Port Moresby in 1992.


Mr. Mucha then spent seven years at Freeport McMoran's Grasberg mine in West
Papua, the world's largest gold/copper mine, where he provided logistical
support for general mine operations and camps to provision 17,000 workers
including 51,000 meals daily from 10 kitchens manned by 700 employees.


From there he spent two years in Mongolia for Ivanhoe Mines at Oyu Tolgoi in the
South Gobi region of Mongolia, approximately 550 km south of the capital and
nearest supply centre, Ulaanbaatar. There he supervised construction and
logistics and provisioned camps for 10,000 mine construction workers. Oyu Tolgoi
is scheduled to come on stream in late 2012.


For the past two years Mr. Mucha held the position of manager of logistics at
the Tujuh Bukit giant porphyry discovery on South East Java for Intrepid Mines
Limited, Indonesia ("Intrepid"). Mr. Mucha's mandate included camp and facility
construction, helicopter scheduling, sample preparation, transportation and
provisioning for the operations. Mr. Mucha brings a vast wealth of experience as
a world class operator to Bougainville for Morumbi.


Mr. Mucha's operations team, includes Tribudi Hastuti, who has a Bachelor's
degree in nursing and a Masters degree in Infrastructure and Community
Development. Argung Winardani, another key member of the operations team who
will begin work full time for Morumbi on Bougainville in April, 2012,
specializes in agriculture development. Both Mr. Winardani and Mrs. Hastuti's
skills will be employed in the health and social programs underway and planned
by Morumbi on Bougainville.


New Geological Team

Morumbi is also very pleased to announce that it has hired Andrias Kristianto as
Chief Geologist together with his selected support team of geologists to support
the Company's exploration program on its Popondetta property in PNG and in
preparation for mineral exploration on Bougainville. The team will begin its
operations April 15, 2012.


Mr. Kristianto was instrumental in the Tujuh Bukit giant porphyry discovery on
South East Java for Intrepid. In October 2009 he was assigned as the Principal
Geologist at Tujuh Bukit, and acted as the Geology Manager over twenty
geologists (including both Indonesians and expatriates). He was directly
involved in Intrepid's Cu/Au porphyry discovery at Tujuh Bukit, including
managing, and being technical adviser on drill hole planning for thirteen drill
rigs targeting 135,000m core drilling in 2011 and 2012.


Mr. Kristianto's geological team includes Benny Alizar and Hilman Sasmita, both
geologists experienced in the epithermal and porphyry systems of Indonesia,
which has similar geology, climate, jungle forests and terrain as found on
Bougainville due to the fact that they are each part of the same ring of fire
geological belt.


Bougainville Update

Morumbi will shortly be providing an update on its Bougainville activities and
the progress to date in establishing a mineral opportunity base on the island in
partnership with landowners.
