MEXIVADA MINING'S LATEST EVENTS Mexivada Finishes 2011 Drilling at Hislop Twp, ON Mexivada Mining completed drilling 16 holes near Timmins in 2011, and is awaiting assays from this drilling. New zones of alteration-mineralization have been found. Mexivada Reacquires Control of Goldstorm Mexivada has regained control of the high-grade Goldstorm, Nevada property from WKM, and is searching for a new venture partner. Mexivada Begins Drilling at Timmins Ontario Mexivada drilling has begun at "Big BIF" multi-metal Au,Ni target, and acquired new Rypan Mines gold target claims, finds new major vein system on new Deloro fault system, south of the Aunor-Delnite gold mines. High-Grade Gold Discovered in Congo Work at 3 targets has discovered high-grade lode gold mineralization,with gold values including 2 m @ 19.4 g/t Au and 3 m @ 9.567 g/t Au. Mexivada Defines 3 Gold Target Areas at Timmins Ontario Mexivada delineates "Gold Chlorite", "Big BIF", and "PDFZ" gold target areas on Golden Porcupine gold property, south of the Delnite gold mine." Mexivada Discovers New Carlin-style Open Pit Gold Target at Ziggurat Mexivada has discovered a new area of Carlin-style gold mineralization, alteration, and felsic diking at the Ziggurat property, which appears to be similar to geology and alteration in the nearby Northumberland Mine open pit of Newmont Mining Corporation. Mexivada Options Gold Jackpot Property to Sphere Mexivada Mining has optioned the Gold Jackpot, Emperor Mine-style gold property to Sphere Resources, which wishes to advance it rapidly toward drilling in 2011. Mexivada Options Ziggurat and Poker Flats Properties to Spartan Mexivada Mining has optioned the Ziggurat and Poker Flats Carlin-style gold properties to Spartan Gold Ltd., who is now advancing them rapidly toward drilling in 2011. Mexivada Options Ziggurat and Poker Flats Properties to Spartan/Sphere Mexivada Mining has optioned the Ziggurat and Poker Flats Carlin-style gold properties to the team Spartan Gold / Sphere Resources, who will advance them rapidly toward drilling in 2011. Mexivada Options Congo Property to Zamarat Mining Plc Mexivada has optioned up to 70% of its Congo properties to Zamarat Mining Plc of London and Paris Fieldwork at Gold Jackpot Delineates New Possible Extensions: Mexivada's latest field geology and sampling work at Gold Jackpot has delineated possible extensions to alteration and gold mineralization to the east and south of the main known Stag's Leap zone. Assays and further interpretation will be reported when available. GOLD JACKPOT:   2-Stage 1980s Tenneco Gold Drilling Program Tenneco Minerals drilled several RC drillholes at Gold Jackpot in the late 1980s on outcropping gold mineralization. Tellurium was not assayed for. Mexivada is analyzing data from the Tenneco work in preparing for geophysical and further drilling work on gold-silver-tellurium targets. More high grade gold-silver-tellurium has been found at the 6 Km long Gold Jackpot target area. Gold values to 16 g/t Au have been sampled here. Copper values to 1046 ppm Cu suggest an early pre-Gold possible porphyry copper metal event in the same structural "plumbing system" that was later re-fractured and used by epithermal gold-silver-tellurium mineralization (possible Emperor Mine Style, 11M oz Au at Emperor), indicating potential very large size for this Au-Te-Ag-Pb-Indium property. Tellurium (was $300/Kg) values to 339 ppm Te make this one of the largest high-grade Tellurium targets in North America. Silver to 239 ppm Ag also present, with lead values to 2% Pb and Indium to 41ppm In. Excellent large-scale Au-Te-Ag-Pb-In property with multi-million ounce open pit Gold potential, and potential large resource for "green" solar panel photovoltaic Tellurium production. Mexivada controls 100% of main outcrops of Au-Te-Ag-Pb-In target area and is formulating a drilling program for the summer 2010 field season. MOUSSONDJI ROC ARTISANAL MINERS WORKING A new Mexivada field exam of the new Moussondji gold district in ROC Congo found hundreds of artisanal miners working in several alluvial gold production areas, and at least one with apparent lode gold potential.

TSX Venture Exchange: MNV

MEXIVADA MINING CORP. controls Gold-Silver and Hi-Tech Rare Metal properties with World-Class Potential. Mexivada is a junior mining and exploration company that went public on the TSX Venture Exchange in 2005, and trades under the symbol "MNV." We are interested in securing Joint Venture partners for our properties. Mexivada controls gold-silver, Tellurium (photovoltaics), Indium (LCD Panels), copper, lead, diamond, tantalum, uranium and molybdenum prospects in Ontario Canada, Nevada, and Mexico. 

Mexivada has begun major exploration programs at Timmins and Matheson-Hislop, Ontario, along the heart of the Destor-Porcupine Fault Zone at Timmins, whose mines have produced well in excess of 60,000,000 ounces of gold since 1910. Mexivada's team of very experienced geologists and mining engineers has been associated with discoveries and mine developments worldwide. Management controls a large shareholding in Mexivada. We are committed to increasing shareholder value through mining, exploration discoveries and by Joint Ventures. If your company is interested in joint venturing any of our properties, please contact us at info@mexivada.com or by calling 1-604-568-7726. Mexivada explores for and acquires mineral properties that show potential to yield economically mineable, high grade deposits of precious and rare metals and diamonds. The company's principal focus is on finding properties with the geologic potential for "world class" deposits of 3- to 5,000,000 ounces of Gold or $1 billion of Diamonds, such as our Goldstorm, Nevada, Matheson-Hislop, and Gold Jackpot gold projects.

ONTARIO, CANADA PROJECTS: Mexivada currently controls 4 gold projects in the heart of Canada's premier Gold Camp at Timmins and Matheson, Ontario, the home to many world-class gold deposits. These include the Dome, Hollinger, and McIntyre mines, which contained 10- to +20,000,000 ounces of gold each. 

Mexivada is conducting work and has acquired properties in the "booming" Matheson area in Hislop Township. Mexivada Mining Corp. has optioned up to a 60% interest in the Roger gold property, Hislop Township, in the Matheson gold camp, Ontario, Canada, from Romios Gold Resources Inc. This agreement options Mexivada another strategic gold property, in the heart of Canada's premier gold mining camp, just south of Brigus Gold's Black Fox - 147 - Contact - Gibson gold mining property.

The  Roger property is located 400 metres southwest and 750 metres south of Brigus' 147 and Gibson gold zones, respectively. Brigus announced a drill-indicated gold resource for the 147 Zone in a press release dated December 15, 2011. The past-producing Ross Mine (P. Sheridan, +1,000,000 ounces of gold) is located 2.8 km southeast of the Roger property. The Roger property shows pyritic gold mineralization at the surface, and outcrop samples assayed to in excess of 0.5 gram per tonne ("g/t") gold. The Roger property also has northerly trending faults that could be similar to those on the adjoining Brigus property that host the 147 and Contact Zones.

Chevron Minerals conducted initial exploration drilling of at least 12 holes in the late 1980s on the Roger property. Chevron discovered zones that assayed up to 12.2 g/t gold over 0.7 m in hole 88-202, at a depth of 137 m. Up to 6 different gold zones may have been found on the property by Chevron. These zones are along the NW-SE structural trend of the "V2 Zone" found on the adjoining Stroud Resources property to the southeast of Roger. Chevron's drilling was too wide spaced to define mineral resources on the property.

Mexivada feels that the Roger property offers excellent potential for the discovery of new gold zones. The property's strategic location near producing gold mines in a burgeoning gold camp is a great plus for this property. Mexivada will begin data analysis and modeling work immediately, and would hope to begin drilling work on the Roger property soon, using its flow through funds. Mexivada also acquired  an 8-unit claim "Tony" group 4251933 from 2205730 Ontario, Inc. and a 4-unit "Pete" claim group 4255022 from Pierre C. Robert. These "Pete" claims are located near the +1,000,000 ounce Ross gold mine, the Black Fox Mine, Gibson deposit, Contact and 147 Zones of Brigus Gold, the Hislop Mine of St. Andrew Goldfields, the Creek Zone of Stroud Resources, and the Gold Pike Mine of Victory Gold Mines. Mexivada has completed an initial 4 core drillholes here, and is awaiting the receipt of all the gold assays before reporting the results.

St. Andrew Goldfields recently completed at least 11 drillholes in a tight pattern near the Pete claims, as little as 175 metres from the Mexivada claims boundary, finding gold-mineralized hematitic-pyritic metavolcanic rocks, as assayed by Mexivada from drill core pieces left on the ground, and possibly a new drill-indicated gold deposit. If this turns into an open pit gold mine, St Andrew will need the Mexivada property for an open pit layback, in the worst case, of an ore zone not being found by Mexivada on 425022.

Mexivada's Golden Porcupine (Rypan) property is in the heart of the Timmins gold camp, along the main Trend, west of the +17,000,000 ounce Dome Mine and east of the new West Timmins discovery of Lakeshore Gold. The widely-interpreted southern boundary of the main "break" of the ENE-trending camp-wide ore host Destor-Porcupine Fault Zone ("PDFZ") is interpreted to go through the northern part of the property. Geophysics indicates that "new" sub-parallel break zones are present to the south, which have been missed by geologists over the past 50+ years. Mexivada has completed a 3-hole, Phase 1 core drilling program on this property, and Mexivada is compiling and interpreting newly-received assay results and core logging data before reporting the results.

A gold mineralized occurrence is shown on Ontario map 2676 as present on Mexivada's 4251933 "Tony" claim group at Hislop, and 4 past holes were drilled by a previous owner. The Tony property will be mapped and sampled by Mexivada in 2012. A magnetometer-very-low-frequency ("VLF") survey has just been completed for Mexivada on Mexivada's two Hislop properties by Katrine Exploration of Kirkland Lake, who monitors Mexivada's land positions in Ontario. VLF is used to find water-filled fault zones, which may host and carry gold mineralization. Mexivada is searching for additional northerly-trending fault zones for mineralization similar to Brigus Gold's 147 and Contact Zones, such as on the Mexivada-Robert claims, where magnetic survey results already point to such a target being present.

NEVADA PROJECTS: Mexivada currently controls 5 projects in Nevada, the home to many world-class gold, silver, and copper-molybdenum mines. Nevada companies are mining several giant, 10-30,000,000 ounce gold deposits, in the Carlin, Getchell-, Cortez-Eureka, and Round Mountain Trends. Newmont Mining recently announced purchase of Fronteer Gold's main Nevada gold exploration and development properties, which has put all major exploration properties once again in the public eye for acquisition by the major companies. Mexivada's properties are the heart of 4 of 5 of these major Nevada gold Trends.

GOLDSTORM Au-Ag PROJECT: Mexivada now once again controls the highly prospective Goldstorm Project, as West Kirkland ("WKM") has dropped its option on the property, not having made option payments stipulated in the option contract. WKM drilled 2 exploration holes at Goldstorm in late 2010, drilling for Carlin-style and Midas Mine-style gold mineralization, with discovery of high-grade Midas-style gold mineralization. Mexivada controls 227 lode mining claims (4,540 acres) and an interest in 1,120 acres of private land at our Goldstorm Au-Ag property in Elko County, Nevada. Goldstorm lies directly on the Midas - Northern Nevada Rifts Gold Trend and near the intersection of the Carlin and Getchell Gold Trends (+100,000,000 ounces of gold), just northwest of the Midas Mine and just northeast of the giant Twin Creeks-Getchell-Turquoise Ridge mega gold mine complex of Barrick and Newmont Mining. Goldstorm has had 53 previous exploration holes for Midas-style gold deposits drilled on certain parts of it by Touchstone, Romarco, Crown Resources, and Newmont (3 holes), and WKM. A high-grade (39 g/t Au) float boulder train of gold mineralization was found at the surface by Crown. Goldstorm also has excellent untested, large-scale Carlin-style ("CS") gold-silver gold targets with multi-million ounce gold potential along 3 uplifted "horst" fault blocks that are up to 7 kilometres long each. These faults may have brought mineralization and Paleozoic target rocks to within 200 to 300 metres of the ground surface; excellent targets that have never been drill tested. Mexivada completed a soil sampling test program here along possible gold feeder faults, and an Induced Polarization survey, which validated the shallow-depth CS-style gold targets. This property has potential for a multi-million ounce gold mine, using a Leeville Mine-type CS-style gold deposit model. Metallurgically compatible milling facilities are present at Newmont's Midas Mine, situated 18 km to the southeast of Goldstorm, and at the Twin Creeks - Turquoise Ridge mines complex. Barrick Gold is evaluating the possibility of developing a "Super Pit" at the nearby Turquoise Ridge Mine. Goldstorm could encompass a mine area as large in size as this, and thus Mexivada is of interest to the major companies in Nevada.

WKM drilled two exploration holes on the property in late 2010, and these hole locations are shown on the map attached below. WKM reported that the first hole was drilled into a Midas-style target that was defined by geophysics, and that a zone of gold mineralization was encountered between 63 and 125 metres core length, from the surface. The true width of this 62 metre wide zone of anomalous gold mineralization is not known at this date. Gold values of up to 9.29 grams per tonne gold and 72.6 grams per tonne silver across 1 metre of core length were assayed in this interval (at 66-67 metres). The second hole by WKM, 544.3 metres in length, did not reach its intended geologic target, being a steeply west (-70 degrees) angled drillhole, attempting to hit a west -dipping reverse fault. The hole was bottomed in volcanic rocks, and no significant zones of gold mineralization were found in this hole, which was stopped east of the Carlin- and Midas-style gold targets by WKM.

GOLD JACKPOT Au-Ag-Te-Cu-Pb-In PROJECT: Mexivada has made available to Sphere Resources Inc. a 75% option of its Gold Jackpot Nevada Carlin-style gold property for exploration and drilling. Mexivada staked and controls 124 mining claims (2,480 acres) at its high-grade Gold Jackpot property in Elko County, Nevada. The claims are on the east edge of the Contact Mining District on the newly discovered Pequop Gold Trend. The property lies 30 kilometres ("km") southeast of Jackpot, approximately 70 km due north of Newmont-Agnico Eagle's Pequop/Long Canyon new gold discoveries, and south of Newmont/West Kirkland's Gollaher gold property. Sediment-hosted gold mineralization containing up to 16 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold, 239 g/t silver, 3.4 Kg/t tellurium, 41 g/t Indium, 2% lead, and 1046 g/t Copper crops out along a 6 km length of the Gold Jackpot property. Possible Eocene Utah-type porphyry-related gold-copper and epithermal gold-silver-tellurium mineralization crops out in the Stag's Leap target area, where a company (Tenneco Minerals, 1988-89) was reported to have drilled several reverse-circulation drill holes. Rock chip sampling in the northern part of Gold Jackpot target area by Dr. Criss Capps returned gold values of up to 1.282 ppm gold and local anomalous silver and arsenic values as well; tellurium was not assayed. Mexivada considers the Gold Jackpot area to have excellent potential to yield a large-size, multi-million ounce gold deposit present at shallow depths. The rocks seen on the property to date are oxidized, so open pit, heap leach methods perhaps could be utilized if sufficient ore is found from exploration of the property. This unpopulated area has good access, does not have any apparent environmental problems, and sufficient room is present for large scale mine facilities and dumps/heaps. Most of the gold targets on the property have never been tested by drilling. Mexivada's consulting geologists conducted detailed geologic mapping and sampling at Gold Jackpot in 2010 and 2011, and the new team will develop a drilling exploration strategy after a thorough geological / geophysical evaluation of the property. Maps and cross sections are shown on the Gold Jackpot web page herein.

JEFFERSON Au-Ag-Te-In PROJECT: Mexivada's controls the large-scale Jefferson gold- silver-tellurium-indium property, in Nye County, Nevada. Jefferson is situated immediately east of Barrick/Kinross' 15 million ounce Round Mountain open pit gold mine along a major, regional gold feeder fault structure. Jefferson has substantial drill-indicated gold and multi-million ounce silver resources that were delineated prior to the advent of NI 43-101, and it contains significant tellurium mineralization and locally anomalous indium with the precious metals. A representative of World Industrial Minerals, a subsidiary of First Solar Corp. (FSLR-NYSE) contacted Mexivada about its tellurium mineralization at Jefferson. Mexivada is now formulating drill targets at Jefferson and is compiling data for an updated, 43-101 non-compliant gold-silver 3-D Mining Resource Estimate, using industry-standard Vulcan 3-D modeling software. A previous property owner wrote a Mineable Resource Estimate for part of the property, based on certain previous drilling. This resource estimate will allow Mexivada to better formulate a detailed Phase 2 drilling program in an attempt to block out gold-silver ore reserves and find new blocks of ore-bearing rocks. Mexivada is now looking for a new venture partner to drill and develop the Jefferson Au-Ag property.

ZIGGURAT Au PROJECT: Mexivada has optioned up to 75% of its ZIGGURAT Nevada Carlin-style gold property to Spartan Gold Ltd. for exploration and drilling. The 100% controlled Ziggurat Carlin-style gold prospect (6,860 acres), situated within the Round Mountain-Northumberland Gold Trend, north of Barrick-Kinross' 15,000,000 ounce world class Round Mountain Gold Mine and its +1,000,000 ounce Gold Hill gold mines, and adjacent to the south boundary of Newmont's large, +3,000,000 ounce Northumberland Mine gold mine property. Mexivada recently completed geochemical and geological surveys at Ziggurat, and found a new gold "feeder zone" with gold values of up to 0.5 g/t Au in adjoining flat-lying thrust fault structures, and the new exploration team recently found the new "White Horse" Carlin-style gold discovery, which shows alteration and felsic diking reminiscent of that in the Northumberland open pit. Ziggurat holds good potential for discovery of a large, multi-million ounce Rodeo Mine sub-type, Carlin-style gold deposit, with gold mineralized Upper Plate (?) rocks present at the surface on the property and Lower Plate limestones perhaps present at favourable depths. One Nevada-experienced geologist speculated these surface rocks to be the gold-favourable, lower plate Roberts Mountain Formation. The most favorable parts of this property have never been drilled, and 2 gram per tonne gold-bearing rocks crop out just northeast of the drill targets, along a major regional feeder zone. Ziggurat is nearly ready for permitting and exploration drilling. Fronteer Gold (FRE.TO) conducted exploration drilling in 2009, just north of the Ziggurat claims boundary in its Hilltop target area, and permitted for additional drillholes before being purchased by Newmont Mining.

POKER FLATS Au PROJECT: Mexivada has optioned up to 75% of its POKER FLATS Nevada Carlin-style gold property to Spartan Gold Ltd. for exploration and drilling. The Poker Flats Au Carlin-style sediment-hosted gold property, comprising 3,920 acres of lode mining claims and leased private ground, is situated southeast of Carlin and Newmont's Rain Mine, and is located on strike just south of Newmont's Emigrant gold property, for which Newmont has just received an operating mine permit from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. Poker Flats also lies immediately adjacent, on the east side, to Gold Standard Ventures' Railroad property. Gold Standard announced an $11.95 million financing, subsequently has been diligently drilling the property, and we are awaiting their drill results. Certain gold mineralized targets at Railroad project eastward on to the Poker Flats property, and the main gold zone at Newmont's Emigrant mine property projects directly southward on to Poker Flats. Drill targets at Poker Flats are being selected and prioritized, and some are ready for permitting and drilling.

MEXICO PROJECTS: Mexivada controls 2 significant gold properties in the State of Sonora, Mexico, and is searching for a Joint Venture partner for its Yecora gold- silver and tellurium project. The advanced-stage Yecora Au-Ag-Zn-Pb project is located in the Sierra Madre Occidental gold-silver Trend of northern Mexico, near the Mulatos, Ocampo and Pinos Altos Mines. Coeur d'Alene Mines, owner of the on-trend Palmarejo silver-gold property, controls exploration concessions at Yécora located inside of and surrounding Mexivada's 1041 hectare property, and has conducted a drill program on several of their targets at Yécora in 2009. Mexivada completed Phase 1 core drilling at Yécora, which yielded good gold and silver assay results with local very high-grade gold and silver. The property hosts high-grade lead-silver mineralization in the southwestern part of the property, which has never been explored for Peñasquito-style Au-Ag-Pb-Zn mineralization. Mexivada wishes to Joint Venture the Yécora project, and is open to proposals from qualified third parties on how to best advance it. Mexivada won a concession in the southern part of the Yécora property at a recent government auction

Our AuroTellurio project for gold, silver, and Tellurium is located near Moctezuma, Sonora, northeast of Hermosillo, Sonora, adjacent to one of the world's highest grade tellurium-gold-silver mines, the Mina La Bambolla, and has been optioned to California Gold Corp. (CLGL-OTC), which may acquire an 80% interest through periodic cash and stock payments to Mexivada, and by spending $3,000,000 on exploration on the property. This property was staked to surround a new, high-grade gold-tellurium mine controlled by TelOro, which is believed to be a Mexican company offshoot from First Solar Corporation (FSLR: NYSE). Mine personnel working on a shaft there (Mina La Bambolla) told Mexivada geologists that tellurium values of up to 4 kg/ton were found there, and old mine maps of the property purchased by Mexivada show assay sample values of up to 3 ounces per tonne gold and 3+% tellurium in the old Bambolla mine workings. Nine separate vein systems are shown on these old maps, which occur along structures of the Mojave-Sonora Megashear fault system, which extends for many hundreds of kilometres of length in northern Mexico, containing many gold systems along its length, including the Mina San Francisco of Timmins Gold, and the El Chanate Mine further west. Tellurium is a critical, expensive, rare metal component in First Solar's photovoltaic solar panels, selling for up to more than US$300/kg in 2008. Mexivada controls the entire eastern lateral extension of the main Bambolla vein system, and also controls 100% of the outcropping La Viuda Au-Ag-(?Te?) vein system that lies parallel to the Bambolla gold-tellurium mine system, in a down-thrown fault block on the south flank of the uplifted and eroded Bambolla Mine block. Mexivada has executed an option of up to 80% of the AuroTellurio property to California Gold (CLGL) over a 4-year period. Calgold raised $1,500,000 in a financing, has begun work on the AuroTellurio property, and plans geophysics and drilling in the near term.

EXPLORATION AND SMALL-SCALE MINING FOR CASHFLOW: Mexivada explores for and acquires mineral properties that show potential to yield economically mineable, high grade deposits of precious and rare metals and diamonds. The company's principal focus is on finding properties with the geologic potential for "world class" deposits of 3- to 5,000,000 ounces of Gold or $1 billion of Diamonds, such as our  Goldstorm and Gold Jackpot  properties in Nevada. Recently, Mexivada changed its business plan to include the rapid development of small-scale mining projects for gold, diamonds, and rare metal deposits, where rapid cashflow may be earned. This is in addition to earning stock shares and periodic cash payments from our property optionees, to provide recurrent cashflow and profits to Mexivada. Mexivada is evaluating several fast-track small-scale mining opportunities around the world, in business-friendly environments.
