VANCOUVER, Dec. 22 /CNW/ - Mexivada Mining Corp. is pleased to announce that it has entered into a letter of intent with West Kirkland Mining Inc. ("WKM") pursuant to which WKM has been granted an Option to earn up to a 75% undivided interest in the Goldstorm Gold property. Goldstorm is located near the projected intersection of the prolific Carlin and Getchell trends, 18 Km northeast of the 25 million ounce Twin Creeks gold mine and 18 Km northeast of the 3 million ounce Midas gold mine, Nevada. The Property comprises contiguous blocks of patented ranch lands and unpatented lode mining claims totaling approximately 4,080 acres.

West Kirkland Mining Inc. is a private company founded by R. Michael Jones, P.Eng and Frank Hallam, CA. Michael Jones and Frank Hallam are co-founders of West Timmins Mining, MAG Silver (MAG-TSX, MVG NYSE-AMEX) and Platinum Group Metals (PTM-TSX, PLG-NYSE-AMEX). West Timmins Mining recently was sold to Lakeshore Gold for $340m.

The Goldstorm property shows high-grade Midas-style gold mineralization at the surface, with gold values of up to 39 grams per tonne found in the 1990s, and several untested gold targets have been defined by recent work by Mexivada. Goldstorm also holds good potential for the discovery of large, mine-scale Carlin-style gold mineralization.

Under the terms of the Option agreement, WKM can acquire an initial 56% interest in the Property by incurring a total of US$2,900,000 in exploration expenditures on the property, $340,000 in cash payments, and shares of WKM as follows:

                                           No. of                   Work
                        Cash              shares             Commitment

On acceptance          90,000              50,000
1st year               75,000                   0                150,000

4th year                                  250,000              2,000,000

WKM shall also pay all County, BLM and lease-option payments required to hold all of the existing mining claims and leases in good standing.

WKM can acquire an additional 19% interest (for a total 75% interest) in the Goldstorm property by incurring an additional US$2,250,000 in expenditures within 24 months of the date upon which WKM earns an initial 56% interest in the Property, at which time WKM must issue a further 250,000 shares to Mexivada, Each party shall then be responsible for financing its own share of further work. WKM and Mexivada will also have the pro-rata right to purchase a 3% net smelter royalty ("NSR") from the SKI claims property lessor (R. Redfern and Allied Nevada Gold Corporation) at the rate of US$1,000,000 for each 1% of NSR purchased for the first 2 percentage points and US$2,000,000 for the 3rd percentage point (75% as to WKM and 25% to Mexivada).

MEXIVADA Expands Goldstorm Property. IP Survey Discovers New Gold Targets

News release on Mexivada website.

VANCOUVER, Dec. 2 / PRNewswire-FirstCall / - Mexivada has executed an addendum agreement to its Goldstorm property lease in Nevada with NFC Cattle Company, to include an additional 320 acres of prospective private land along the east extension of Mexivada's "Horst" Carlin-style gold target area, at a one-time cost of US$5000. We believe that this 7 kilometre ("Km") long Horst target, which has never been tested by drilling, could hold a multi-million ounce Carlin-Style gold deposit at depths as shallow as 200 metres from the surface. Goldstorm also holds potential for the discovery of somewhat deeper Midas-style gold deposits from at least 3 targets at Goldstorm. The property comprises 4,080 acres located 18 kilometres ("Km") northeast of Newmont's giant, +20,000,000 oz. Twin Creeks gold mine and 18 Km northwest of its +3,000,000 ounce Midas gold-silver mine.

An 8-line, dipole-dipole induced polarization ("IP") survey has been completed atop the Horst target area and interpreted by Wright Geophysics, discovering :

2 'outstanding targets' and 'numerous other targets exist along the various zones'.

This IP survey validated the Horst structural model, interpreted to show an uplifted block of Paleozoic rocks along the Horst, with peripheral fault-like contacts that could have been feeders for both Midas- and Carlin-style gold mineralization, at depths of 200 to 300 metres below the surface. Mexivada's contractors also completed a soil survey both along and across these fault-like contacts to define feeder zones of gold mineralization, and we are awaiting the assay and geochem results from this work. Maps and sections of the Goldstorm project work may be viewed at www.mexivada.com.
