Mexivada Begins Drilling Program at Golden Porcupine Property, Timmins, Ontario

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Sep 14, 2011 (Marketwire via COMTEX News Network) --

Mexivada Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE:MNV)(OTCBB:MXVDF)(FRANKFURT:M2Q) is pleased to report the startup of a core drilling program at its Golden Porcupine property at Timmins, Ontario, Canada. Golden Porcupine is situated in the +60,000,000 ounce Porcupine gold camp, south of the Delnite and Aunor gold mines and southwest of Goldcorp's +17,000,000 oz. Dome Mine. Mexivada is using flow-through cash funds in Mexivada's treasury to fund this drilling program.

Mexivada is targeting the finding of three types of gold deposit: 1) Pamour Open-Pit Style gold associated with felsic intrusive rocks and their hosts, similar to at the plus 4,500,000 ounce Pamour Mine in the eastern part of the Timmins camp, 2) Dome Mine - Delnite Mine style vein-style gold hosted in and disseminated adjacent to fault structures, and 3) Meliadne-Central Patricia-Pickle Crow style bulk mineable and structure-controlled gold in and near large banded iron formations. All of these are large ounce potential gold target styles.

Mexivada's new program of NQ core drilling has begun on the property, along with mechanized trenching to expose additional rock outcrops. The first two drillholes are being sited on the "Big Bif" open pit style gold target area, where a very large gold target area was defined by ground magnetic and induced polarization surveys, showing coincident IP - Mag lows and elevated gold geochemical anomalies.

Subsequent drilling will then occur in 1) the "Gold Chlorite" target area, located along a north-northwest trending induced polarization chargeability high in the southeastern part of the property, near shafts and trenches from which high grade gold samples were reportedly taken by a previous explorer, and 2) the "PDFZ" target area in the northern part of the property occurs along confirmed segments of the regional Destor-Porcupine structural zone, including parallel fault-shear structures to the south. Induced polarization chargeability highs are present along segments of these structures, along with 3 small, coincident magnetic "low" areas. Ossian Gold Mines reportedly drilled 8 holes totaling 1894.5 metres in this target area in 1938-39.

Mexivada feels that the Golden Porcupine property holds good promise to hold gold deposits of the size and gold grade that would be attractive for possible future development. The Big BIF, PDFZ, and Gold Chlorite gold targets are interpreted overall to have good gold potential, in line with Mexivada's model of searching for large deposits that would be attractive to major gold companies such as Goldcorp. Mexivada presently is negotiating with third parties for the acquisition of additional attractive gold properties in the Timmins region.
