Mega Precious Metals Files NI 43-101 Technical Report for Its Headway Project, Red Lake Ontario

THUNDER BAY, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Nov 19, 2013) - Mega Precious Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MGP) ("Mega") announces that, further to the news release of October 16, 2013, Mega has filed the National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report entitled "Report on Drilling MH1103 Headway Au Property, Red Lake, Ontario" dated November 4, 2013, on SEDAR. The report has also been posted on the Company's website http://www.megapmi.com. There are no material differences between the results of the Technical Report filed today and the disclosure provided in the October 16, 2013 news release.

Highlights of the Technical Report include:

• Deep drilling on the Headway Gold Property by Mega has confirmed their geological model, where drill hole MH1103 has intersected altered and deformed Balmer Assemblage rocks within the property and are the same rock types that occur within Goldcorp's Red Lake Mine to the north of the Property.
  
  
• The presence of pervasive brown-biotite in the wall rock with low amounts of disseminated pyrite and anomalous gold (up to 291 ppb Au) from 2261-2264 m in drill hole MH1103 indicates that the shear zone was an active structure during auriferous fluid migration.
  
  
  • The structure, style and intensity of alteration is similar to the HW Shear and Kovala Fault (HW 7 Shear) associated with the High Grade Zone (HGZ) at the Red Lake Mine (Figure 1 & 3).
    
    
• From 2279 - 2735 m down hole in MH1103, the rocks are strongly altered to silica-andalusite +- sercite which are highly altered Balmer Assemblage rocks, including basalt and "Campbell-Dickenson Diorite" These are equivalent to the thick, aluminous-altered units found deep in Goldcorp's Red Lake Mine below 1,600 m from surface in the hanging wall of the HGZ. (Figure 2).
  
  

Glen Kuntz, President and CEO, states "The technical report authored by Tim Twomey Consulting and our team is an important milestone in the advancement of the Headway Gold Project. Mr. Twomey was an integral member of the geological team at the Red Lake Mine that discovered, delineated and brought the High-Grade Zone discovery into production. As such this in-depth knowledge combined with our recent discovery of shear zones, anomalous gold zones and other important marker horizons in Drill hole MH1103 are analogous to being within approximately 300 metres of high grade mineralization at the HGZ at the Red Lake Mine and it is the QP's opinion that deep diamond drilling should continue at the Headway Property northward to the boundary of the Red Lake Mine in order to explore for other regional foliation-parallel shear zones in Balmer basalt."

Recent deep discoveries at Goldcorp's New Zone in the 4699 Ramp (~200 m north from our target horizon) as well as the NXT Zone at the Red Lake Mine both demonstrate that rocks in the hanging-wall to the HGZ have excellent exploration potential for high-grade gold mineralization. The intersection of a regional Shear Zone in MH1103 that was open to auriferous fluids has similarities to ore-bearing structures at the adjacent Red Lake Mine. This suggests that this regional Shear Zone has good potential for higher gold-grades within the Headway Gold Property (Figure 3).

Technical Discussion and Analysis

The Headway property is strategically located in the heart of the prolific Red Lake gold mining District. Even with the limited 2013 drill program in 2013 due to conserving cash, the program exposed a potential new shear zone and anomalous gold mineralization. This new discovery shares similarities with, and is located in close proximity to the High Grade Zone that is currently in production by the RLGM operated by Goldcorp. This is considered to be one of the world's richest gold mines with production of more than 18 million ounces of gold.

Mega is currently planning future drilling that continues to test the down-dip potential of these auriferous structures that are trending into a more favourable geologic environment for hosting bonanza-grade mineralization.
