First Mexican Increases Land Package to 7,507 Hectares

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Feb 10, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --

First Mexican Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE: FMG) is pleased to announce that it has added to its property package at its Guadalupe Property in Sonora State, Mexico. The Company"s current property package of 1,566 hectares is contiguous to Corex Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE: CGE) Santana Property where consistently good drilling results have been demonstrated to date.

The acquisition of the El Hoyo & Santa Maria properties comes after many months of effort and is based on historic local mining as well as being on trend with regional faulting. The property package comprises 5,941 hectares and represents a significant milestone for the Company in securing two land parcels directly south of both First Mexican Gold and Corex Gold properties. Planned soil and rock chip sampling program will begin in the coming weeks.

The Company controls 100% of this property package as International Millennium Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE: IMI) has opted not to participate. This acquisition brings the First Mexican Gold Corp. total land holdings in the area to 7,507 hectares.

The properties were acquired for consideration of US$125,000 and 940,000 shares of First Mexican Gold Corp.

Exploration results to date at the Guadalupe Property have been very encouraging and support the company"s view of the strong exploration potential at the numerous prospective gold/silver/copper targets identified so far. The Company recently completed a 1,000 metre, 8 hole diamond drill program and continues with soil and rock chip sampling and mapping of occurrences. Sample testing results for the remaining holes are pending and expected in the coming days.

Additionally, with SJ Geophysics Ltd. of Delta, B.C., the Company is currently on site carrying out an extensive 3D - IP (Induced Polarization) survey program. In view of the positive results obtained so far, management has elected to increase the scope of this survey to 45 line kilometers (from the originally planned 29 kms). This 3D IP program is designed to enhance the drill targeting over future multiple target rich areas and provide follow-up data to assist in the next phase of drilling.

First Mexican Gold Corp. is an active explorer for precious metals in Mexico and holds an option to acquire 80% interest in the Guadalupe property package from (MIMSA) a wholly owned subsidiary of International Millennium Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE: IMI).

Jim Voisin, President & CEO

First Mexican Gold Corp.
