Mala Noche Resources Corp. Prices Offering and Obtains Receipt for Final Prospectus

Vancouver, July 9, 2010 - Mala Noche Resources Corp. (“Mala Noche“ or the “Company“) (TSX VENTURE: MLA) announced today that it has received a receipt for its final short form prospectus filed in respect of the previously announced fully marketed public offering of subscription receipts (the “Offering“). The Company entered into an underwriting agreement today with a syndicate of underwriters led by Canaccord Genuity Corp. (the “Underwriters“). Pursuant to the underwriting agreement, the Underwriters have agreed to purchase 50 million subscription receipts of the Company (“Subscription Receipts“) at a price of $6.00 per Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of $300 million.

Each Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder thereof to acquire, for no additional consideration, one post-consolidation common share of Mala Noche (an “Underlying Share“) and 0.4 of a common share purchase warrant (the “Underlying Warrants“). Each whole warrant, which will have a term of five years, will permit the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $8.00 per share. The Subscription Receipts will automatically convert into Underlying Shares and Underlying Warrants on Mala Noche completing the acquisition of the San Dimas mines and related assets from subsidiaries of Goldcorp Inc. (the “Acquisition“).

The Company has agreed to grant the Underwriters an over-allotment option, exercisable in whole or in part, to purchase up to 7.5 million additional Subscription Receipts at any time on or prior to the date that is 30 days following the closing of the Offering. If this option is exercised in full, the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering will be $345 million.

The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to finance the Acquisition and to provide working capital. The Company will consolidate all of its common shares on a 20 to one basis immediately prior to the closing of the Acquisition.

The Offering is expected to close on or about July 20, 2010 and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and stock exchange approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the applicable securities regulatory authorities.

The final short form prospectus will be available under the Company's profile on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com.
