May 9, 2011 (Filing Services Canada) -- Mega Precious Metals Inc.  (MGP - TSX Venture), ("Mega") is pleased to announce that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire a 100% interest in twenty two (22) mining claims located in the Satterly and Casummit Lake Area of the Red Lake Mining Division in the Province of Ontario, from Perry English on behalf of Rubicon Minerals Corporation ("Vendor").

The "Satterly Gold Project" encompasses 4,736 hectares (11,698 acres) located approximately 100 kilometres east of Red Lake, Ontario.   The property is located in the north eastern part of the Birch-Uchi greenstone belt within the Uchi Sub-province of the Archean Superior Province, lies south west of and abuts "Gold Canyon's" new discoveries at Springpole Gold Project.  

The Satterly Gold Project, based on regional mapping, is centrally located between steeply dipping north-east and north-west trending deformation zones and consists of northwest to east west trending metasediments and metavolcanics.  Historically gold mineralization on adjacent properties is associated with sulphide disseminations and quartz carbonate veinlets that are hosted in shear zones within the metavolcanics and metasediments.    Gold Canyon Resources Inc. (Gold Canyon) speaking to their Springpole Gold Project in their March 15, 2011 news release stated that "Springpole is an alkaline intrusion hosting a gold system that represents a new style of Canadian Archean Shield gold deposit."   This new interpretation of the Springpole resource adds another exciting element to the area.  

Recent results released by Gold Canyon for their Springpole Gold Project, "Portage Zone" on March 15th  and March 29th included 100.5 metres (m) at 7.23 grams per tonne (g/t) and 150m at 2.56 g/t respectfully.   Mega's immediate exploration plans include air photography and airborne geophysics to identify structures and or intrusions that may control or host mineralization.   Compilation of this and other historical information will lead to a summer program of ground prospecting and selected geochemistry on areas of interest.

Terms of the option agreement for a 100% interest to the mineral rights include cash payments totaling CAD$133,000.00 and issuance of 150,000 common shares of Mega.    The initial payment obligation at signing of the Purchase Option Agreement between the parties is CAD$40,000.00 and an issuance of 50,000 Mega shares.

The Vendor retains a 2.0% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) and Mega or its assigns has the right at any time to purchase one-half (1/2) of the NSR by way of a one time payment to the Vendor of the sum of one million dollars ($1,000,000) in Canadian funds.  

Terms and share issuance remain subject to TSX Venture Exchange and all regulatory approvals.
