Augyva Mining Resources Announces Automatic Share Purchase Plan

MONTREAL, May 2, 2012 - Augyva Mining Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:AUV) ("Augyva" or the "Company") announced today that it has entered into an automatic share purchase plan with a broker in order to facilitate repurchases of its common shares under its previously announced normal course issuer bid.

On February 7, 2012, Augyva announced that the Company had received conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") to commence a normal course issuer bid to repurchase between February 10, 2012 and February 8, 2013 up to 5,286,076 of its common shares (the "Shares"), representing 10% of its public float.

Under Augyva's automatic share purchase plan (the "Plan"), Augyva's broker, GMP Securities LP, may repurchase Shares under the normal course issuer bid at times when Augyva would ordinarily not be permitted to, due to self-imposed blackout periods.

At permitted times, Augyva anticipates renewing the Plan from time to time during the course of its normal course issuer bid to enable Share purchases to be made during Company blackout periods.

Purchases under the Plan will be made by Augyva's broker based upon the parameters prescribed by the Exchange, applicable Canadian securities laws and the terms of the parties' written agreement. The Plan has been approved by the Exchange and will be implemented effective at the close of business on May 3, 2012.
