Mexivada re-discovers and stakes Gold Jackpot property, Nevada

Posted on: Friday, 9 October 2009, 07:30 CDT

VANCOUVER, Oct. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Mexivada Mining Corp. has staked and owns 66 mining claims at its Gold Jackpot property in Elko County, Nevada. The claims are on the east edge of the Contact Mining District, 30 kilometres ("km") southeast of Jackpot and approximately 90 km due north of AuEx-Fronteer-Agnico Eagle's Pequop/Long Canyon new gold discoveries. The Gold Jackpot claims lie east of Mexivada's Opal Spring uranium-molybdenum-gold property.

Sediment-hosted gold mineralization crops out along a plus 3 km length of the Gold Jackpot property. Possible Carlin-style gold mineralization crops out in the Devil's Pass target area, where Gold Fields was reported to have drilled two exploration holes in the early 1980s, encountering a drill intercept of plus 12 metres long averaging approximately 1.5 parts per million ("ppm") gold. Rock chip sampling in the Gold Jackpot area by Dr. Criss Capps returned gold values of up to 1.282 ppm gold and local anomalous silver and arsenic values as well.

Mexivada considers the Gold Jackpot area to have excellent potential to yield a large-size gold deposit present at shallow depths. The rocks seen on the property to date are oxidized, so open pit, heap leach methodologies 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 will begin detailed geologic mapping and sampling at Gold Jackpot immediately and develop a drilling exploration strategy.

The Company's President and CEO, Richard R. Redfern, M.Sc. and Certified Professional Geologist, a 'qualified person' for the purposes on National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Properties, has verified the information (including maps, sampling, and analytical test data) and evaluated the interpretations contained in this news release.
