Majestic Gold Corp. Clarifies Disclosure Following BCSC Review

Vancouver, British Columbia / TheNewswire / December 21, 2015 - Majestic Gold Corp. ("Majestic" or the "Company") (TSX.V: MJS, FSE: A0BK1D) announces that as a result of a review by the British Columbia Securities Commission ("BCSC"), the Company is issuing this news release to clarify disclosure on its Songjiagou Project in China.

The Company has been requested to provide a new or amended technical report that corrects certain non-compliant NI 43-101 and Form 43-101F1 disclosure in the report titled "Independent Technical Report of Songjiagou Project, Shandong Province, The People's Republic of China" (the "PEA") dated August 2013 by SRK Consulting China Ltd., to address deficiencies in respect of: the Certificate of the Qualified Person; Reliance on Other Experts; Resource Estimates; and lack of cautionary language. More specifically, changes reflected in the Amended PEA will include the following:

-The certificates of qualified persons are to be amended to ensure that at least one qualified person is responsible for each section of the amended PEA;

-The method of analysis that determined the capping level at 40 g gold, and will disclose the amount and distribution of samples in the database that were reported as "missing";

-The resource estimate is to be amended to account for depletion by previous underground mining;

-How the resource estimate is compatible with the mineral deposit model, and how the resource estimate outside the current pit shell limit meet the CIM Definition for "reasonable prospects of eventual economic extraction";

-The amended PEA will include required cautionary language along with every statement of current resource estimates;

-The amended PEA will further explain assumptions that appear unreasonable including how pit limits extend outside the mining license, capacity of tailings storage, and size of waste dump;

-The amended PEA will include a discussion of the impact of taxes, royalties, and other government levies on the cash flow model and the resultant after-tax results.

These deficiencies are all anticipated to be addressed in an amended report that will be filed on SEDAR as soon as practicable. In the interim, investors are cautioned that the Company's mineral resource estimate and preliminary economic assessment is unsupported by a compliant NI 43-101 technical report, contrary to NI 43-101, and should not be relied on until independently verified and supported by an amended technical report.

The review also noted that the Company's website and the corporate presentation "Gold Production in Shandong Province, China" dated January 2015 (the corporate presentation) contain disclosure that is non-compliant to certain sections of NI 43-101. The Company did not include the following cautionary language as required by NI 43-101 in regard to the PEA: "The preliminary economic assessment is preliminary in nature, it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized." The Company's production decision was not based on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability. The Company's production decision was based on the open pit optimization resource model set out in the PEA, which takes into account the relatively low mining costs negotiated by the Company. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves have not yet demonstrated economic viability. Due to the uncertainty that may be attached to mineral resources, it cannot be assumed that all or any part of a mineral resource will be upgraded to mineral reserves. Therefore, there is no certainty that the results concluded in the PEA will be realized. The Company's investor presentation and website have now been updated to include required cautionary language.

The Company's corporate presentation also illustrated a 600,000 ounce gold quantity, designated as an "outside mineable resource", located outside of the pit shell. Reference to this quantity has been deleted from the slide. The amended technical report will consider the status of this quantity. At this time, use of the designation "mineable resource" is retracted.

The PEA, the Company's corporate presentation and website also contain references to resources that add Inferred Resources to other categories of Resources, which is not allowed under section 2.2 of NI 43-101. All disclosure has now been amended to conform to this section of NI 43-101.

In its corporate presentation, the Company fails to identify and disclose the relationship to the Company of the qualified person who prepared or supervised the preparation of, or approved the technical information it is disclosing. The presentation has been amended to comply with section 3.1 of NI 43-101. All technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Stephen Kenwood, P. Geo., who is a director of the Company and a qualified person under the definitions established by NI 43-101.

Production Disclaimer

The Company's production decision was not based on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability. The Company's production decision was made based on the open pit optimization resource model set out in the Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA"), which takes into account the relatively low mining costs negotiated by the Company. The pit optimization that was conducted in the preliminary assessment generated a production schedule summary at grade cut-off of 0.30 gram per tonne Au.

The PEA includes the inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the preliminary assessment will ever be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
