Mega′s Ongoing Step out Drilling Program at the Monument Bay Project Continues to Confirm the Broad and Extensive Burn Zone Mineralization; Identifies 30 New Exploration Targets

Mega Precious Metals Inc. (MGP:TSX-V) (“Mega”) is pleased to provide an exploration update from the ongoing activities at its wholly-owned Monument Bay Project. These drill holes are part of an ongoing exploration program within the Monument Bay Camp which commenced June 2011, ensuing to the last resource estimate cut-off date of May 2011, and will continue throughout 2012.

This drilling program is aimed at expanding the current open pit footprint of the mineralization trend both along strike and confirming the higher-grade "shoots" within these open pit potential areas of the deposit.

Drilling continues to successfully extended the broad Burn Zone mineralization by > 200 metres along strike and > 200 metres in depth; the grade and thickness along strike continues to be consistent with previously released results and the grade is slightly improving at depth where it remains wide open for expansion.


Highlights:

- Combination of narrow high-grade zones and wider low-grade gold mineralization continues to indicate a very broad and extensive gold system making up the Monument Bay Camp.

- > 90% of the current resourceis large, well defined, broad high grade mineralized zones that are predictable along strike and dip with each zone containing a well defined high grade plunging core.
-- Strike lengths range from 450 to 2425 m
-- Dip lengths rage from 212 to 925 m
-- Widths range from 1.9-15.9 m

- The gold mineralization has been confirmed over a strike length of > 6.5 km - open along strike.

- Results indicate that gold mineralization is associated with IP, magnetic, soil geochemical anomalies coupled with some previous diamond drilling - an additional 30 new targets have been identified within a 3.5 km x 1.5 km area.

- Visible gold continues to be noted in multiple drill holes throughout 2011 drill program

- Burn Zone continues to expand with:
-- Drill hole TL 11 – 427 intersects 6.2 g/t gold over 10.0 metres which includes 28.8 g/t gold over 1.0 m

-- Drill hole TL 11 – 429 intersects 8.8 g/t gold over 3.0 metres which includes 25.0 g/t gold over 1.0 m
-- Drill hole TL 11 – 430 intersects two broad mineralized zones:
-- - 1.10 g/t gold over 20 m
-- - 1.21 g/t gold over 20.5 m

Mr. Jim Rogers commented, “Drilling results from Monument Bay continue to provide consistently strong results. The very high hit rate of the burn zone is an excellent indication of the persistent nature of the gold mineralization throughout the Monument Bay Gold Camp for these results continue to expand the known resource both in size, quality and demonstrate the open pit potential of the mineralized corridor at our Monument Bay Project in a relatively short period of time.

The continuity of this gold deposit is well established and we are very confident that we will continue to achieve strong results as we further delineate the Monument Bay Camp. Our geological team is currently planning the next stage of drilling of approximately 50,000 m which is aimed to continue delineating mineral resources to form the basis of a mining reserve and a positive preliminary economic study in 2012”.

Further 9 more holes of the 16,546 metre summer/fall drill program are tabled below.

The Monument Bay deposit is being evaluated in an upcoming NI 43-101 update that will be completed for release in Q1 of 2012 and will be incorporating all additional exploration resources discovered post the May 2011 cut-off date.
Mega’s 2011 exploration success has discovered and converted targets into a resource estimate in less than 6 months. Over the past 10 Months Mega has completed the following:

- Executed 26,482 metres of definition and step out drilling
- Converted > 592,000 ounces into Measured +Indicated categories
- Discovered an additional > 989,000 Inferred Ounces
- Discovery Ounce Cost = > $ 6/Ounce
- Identified > 30 new discoveries that are not in current resource estimate
- Completed initial work for heritage and environmental base line studies
- Upgraded camp facilities and installed infrastructure to handle multi phased exploration programs for 2012
- Mobilized heavy equipment in to camp to accelerate exploration development

Monument Bay Mineral Resource Estimate

Classification   Tonnes     Gold Grade   Contained
                          (grams/tonne)     Ounces
Measured	221,510	12.48	88,905

Sub Total	2,420,610	7.61	592,093
Inferred	6,147,000	6.01	1,187,091

The estimates are in-situ and undiluted and figures are rounded. Resource model is using a 3 g/tonne cut off

The Monument Bay deposit is open in all directions and Mega management firmly believes that their Monument Bay Camp is part of a much larger gold system that encompasses the Twin Lakes/Stull Lake gold bearing structures.
