New drilling highlights include:

— R12-1 which contained a gold-mineralized zone 8.4 metres in core length which contains intervals grading 10.4, 11, and 23.5 g/t gold, with not all samples returned yet; and

— R12-3 which contained 1.3 metres grading 21.37 g/t gold — Including 0.3 metres grading 73.1 g/t gold; and 0.5 metres grading 12.6 g/t gold further downhole.

Chief Executive Officer, Richard Redfern commented, “The results confirm the presence of new gold zones not previously discovered by Hollinger nor by Chevron, by systematic drilling. More drilling is required to block out mineral resources on the Roger property, using screen fire gold assays to better determine the gold grade where larger particles of gold exist.”

Drillholes 1 and 3, while assaying is not yet completed, have to date returned local strong gold assay values, and at least two new zones of high-grade gold mineralization have been discovered in them, away from the gold zones discovered by Hollinger Consolidated Mines in 1933 and by Chevron Minerals in 1988-89. Drillhole 4 is still being logged, sawed, and certain samples will be sent off for routine 50g charge gold fire assays. The 50g gold fire assays yield more reliable results than do normal 30g charge assays, due to the greater weight of rock assayed. Where observable visual gold mineralization is seen, the sample is sent to ALS for screen fire gold assays, which technique is designed to better catch larger gold particles present due to the “nugget effect” of gold in general, with a still larger sample size used. Mexivada will be re-logging and re-sampling the Chevron drill core to re-examine the reported gold zones, and will report further on the core logging and assays as the Phase 1 work program is completed.

The uncut results from the drill holes are summarized in the table below:

The Roger property is located 400 metres southwest and 750 metres south of Brigus Gold’s 147 and Gibson gold zones, respectively. The Roger property also is adjoined on the east side by property controlled by St. Andrew Goldfields Ltd., which appears to contain a southern extension of the 147 Zone. The Roger project is being managed on-site by Mexivada’s geologist, Kimberley Norman, P.Geo. Mexivada has the option to earn up to 60% working interest in the Roger property from Romios Gold Resources Inc. (see Press Release dated January 11, 2012).

Goldstorm Project Update

Mexivada’s Chief Consulting Geologist has begun the detailed re-logging and re-sampling of the drill core from the Goldstorm property in Nevada, located northeast of Newmont Mining’s large Twin Creeks Mine and northwest of its Midas Mine. High-grade, high-level Midas-style gold-silver mineralization occurs in hole G10-1, which assayed 9.29 grams per tonne gold (“g/t”) and 72.6 g/t silver between 66-67 meters. Several other intervals also show vein mineralization, between 36 and 136 metres of the core length, with local grades up to 4.29 g/t gold over 1 metre intervals. Mexivada is working on transferring the BLM exploration permit (“Notice of Intent”) from West Kirkland Mining, through the Nevada Division of Minerals. This permit transfer will allow Mexivada to re-start drilling at Goldstorm, likely without further permitting work.

Resignation of Director

Allen Ambrose has resigned from Mexivada’s board of directors because of his need to reduce the number of directorships he is involved with. The board thanks Mr. Ambrose, for his many years of service and invaluable support.

The Company’s President and CEO, Richard R. Redfern, M.Sc., a Certified professional Geologist and ‘qualified person’ for the purposes on National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Properties, has verified and approved the information contained in this news release.
