Mega Precious Metals : Increases High Grade Gold and Tungsten Mineralization Within the Monument Bay Proposed Open Pit

THUNDER BAY, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Apr 7, 2015) - Mega Precious Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MGP) ("Mega") is pleased to announce further Old Core Assay Program ("OCAP") results which continue to define multiple parallel high grade gold and tungsten mineralization located within the proposed open pit at the Monument Bay Project, located in Manitoba.

Since the August 12, 2014 cut-off date of the NI 43-101 resource statement, the OCAP program has sampled over 50% more tungsten samples above a cutoff grade of 0.13% WO₃ (approximately 1.33 g/t Au Equivalent) and over 40% more samples greater than 0.63% (approximately 6.64 g/t Au Equivalent) in the database. Consequently, these results have not been included in the current estimate and are indicative of how the tungsten resource will grow. As a point of reference, current Tungsten open pit mines have operational grades between 0.1 - 0.2% WO₃. (See Figure 1)

OCAP intercepts include broad intervals of continuous gold mineralization that host high grade gold and tungsten:

• SR -00-07 intersects 4.08 g/t Au, 0.13% WO₃ across 3.0m
• TL-03-128 intersects 3.79 g/t Au, 0.20% WO₃ across 6.4m
• TL-03-147 intersects 1.30 g/t Au, 0.06% WO₃ across 26.0m including 2.21 g/t Au, 0.19% WO₃ across 5.0m
• TL-04-227 intersects 1.08 g/t Au, 0.04% WO₃ across 20.8m including 2.14 g/t Au, 0.20% WO₃ across 3.8m
• TL-05-288 intersects 1.53 g/t Au, 0.12% WO₃ across 3.5m
• TL-11-396 intersects 1.01 g/t Au, across 23m including 6.21 g/t Au across 1.0m

Glen Kuntz, P.Geo, President and CEO, stated "The OCAP Program has been a continual success. Within the Twin Lakes Deposit we are finding a very strong correlation of high grade gold associated with tungsten mineralization that is concentrated in regular spaced high grade shoots. We are confident that the OCAP program will continue to expand and improve the resource with ongoing sampling as the results to date have shown consistent improvement in grade along the entire 4.0 km deposit. Since the tungsten discovery hole in Feb 6, 2013 the Twin Lakes Deposit and in particular the high grade gold and tungsten mineralization has always benefited and improved in grade with more sampling and infill drilling. We are very encouraged by these results which show significant potential for further expansion."

To date, the OCAP gold and tungsten sampling program has focused primarily on the central and western portions of the deposit which have shown considerable growth in both the width of the mineralization and the grade continuity. This is demonstrated by the much deeper proposed open pit outline in the current resource both in the central and western portions of the Twin Lakes Deposit.

The OCAP sampling program is currently focused on the eastern portions of the Twin Lakes Deposit where little to no gold or tungsten sampling had been completed to date and has discovered considerable meterage that is mineralized and has not been sampled. For example Hole TL-11-396 has intersected new gold mineralization that is currently classified as waste in the conceptual open pit. (See figure 2)

Note: Gold equivalent grade is calculated by multiplying the 3 year average Tungsten price of $40,000/tonne by the %WO³ then dividing by the Gold price $38.00/gram ($1200/ounce), then adding the Gold grade. MZTLD equates to Main Zone Twin Lakes Deposit. The Company has not determined the economic cut-off grade. Metallurgical recoveries OF 75% FOR WO³ and 90.3% for gold were used in the Gold Equivalent calculation. Down-hole thickness, true width varies depending on drill hole dip; most 2014 drill holes are intersecting the vein structures perpendicularly therefore down hole width are close to true width.

To date, over 150 km of drilling has been completed on the project which has outlined multiple gold/tungsten deposits, a high grade starter pit, a tungsten by-product credit and most recently the discovery of multiple parallel systems along our 140 km mineralized belt.

The Twin Lakes Deposit is one of three gold/tungsten deposits that make up the 338km2 Monument Bay Project which has potential development advantages given the current winter road access to its camp from local communities and Manitoba's Northern Development Strategy which is building all-purpose roads and infrastructure improvements within the region. The current power lines which connect Red Sucker Lake First Nation and God's Lake Narrows First Nation currently have very low electricity rates (estimated at $0.02-0.04/kWh) and are approximately 48 km from our project area.

Technical Information

The design of Mega's drilling programs, Quality Assurance/Quality Control and interpretation of results is under the control of Mega's geological staff including qualified persons employing a QA/QC program consistent with NI 43‐101 and industry best practices. A detailed review of Mega's QA/QC procedures is filed in the NI 43-101 report dated June 17, 2013 and on SEDAR.

All drill core is transported by Company personnel from drill site to our camp for logging, sampling preparation are completed. Sampling intervals are defined after core logging and determination of scheelite content by examination under short‐wave UV‐light. One half of the core is sent for analysis, while the other half is retained in the core boxes for future reference. All samples are shipped to Accurassay Laboratories in Thunder Bay, Ontario and analyzed employing the appropriate gold fire assaying technique. For QA/QC purposes the Company as well as the lab submits standards and blanks every 20 samples. Samples are analyzed for W by XRF and assay results for tungsten are reported by the laboratory as W%. WO3 values are calculated using a conversion factor of 1.2611. BC Energy & Mines.
