THUNDER BAY, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Aug 6, 2014) - Mega Precious Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MGP) ("Mega") is pleased to announce an additional seven (7) holes from its 29 hole, 4,784m winter drill program and nine (9) holes from its OCAP (Old Core Assay Program) on its high grade gold and tungsten ("WO₃") Monument Bay Project, located in Manitoba. The success of the winter drill program continues to expand multiple high grade gold/tungsten structures to surface within the porphyritic dyke host rock and associated shear zones at the Twin Lakes Deposit.

Highlights:

• Mega's 2014 drill program has now encountered multiple high grade gold and gold/tungsten structures near surface within broader gold mineralized zones with multiple occurrences of visible gold ("VG")
  • TL-14-533 intersects 38.0m of 4.43 g/t gold including 8.60 g/t gold over 13.0m and 4.89 g/t gold over 5.7m
  • TL-14-523 intersects 40.6m of 2.00 g/t gold including 3.60 g/t gold and 0.08% WO₃ over 15.6m
  • TL-14-528 intersects 33.0m of 1.02 g/t gold including 1.72 g/t gold and 0.11% WO₃ over 12.4m
  • TL-14-517 intersects 24.5m of 1.12 g/t gold including 2.31 g/t gold over 10.5m

• The OCAP program continues to define broad gold zones coupled with multiple gold/tungsten shear zones that were previously left unassayed
  • TL-05-275 intersects 59.1m of 1.10 g/t gold including 1.29 g/t gold and 0.19% WO₃ over 16.9m
  • TL-05-286 intersects 44.0m of 1.08 g/t gold including 5.43 g/t gold and 1.11% WO₃ over 2.8m
  • TL-03-121 intersects 43.0m of 0.90 g/t gold including 1.66 g/t gold and 0.10% WO₃ over 9.0m plus 0.68 g/t gold and 0.10% WO₃ over 6.0M
  • TL-11-391 intersects 26.9m of 0.99 g/t gold and 0.12% WO₃ including 1.46 g/t gold and 0.40% WO₃ over 7.5m

The 2014 winter drill and OCAP program results continue to identify near surface high grade gold/tungsten mineralization, within a broader gold mineralized zone in the upper 100m of the deposit. Some of the gold and tungsten intercepts disclosed today are broader and higher grade compared to what was reported in our June 2013 Twin Lake Resource. Mega's planned summer/fall drill and OCAP program will continue to focus on the expansion of these near surface high grade structures as they have the potential to identify additional high grade mineralization within and between the proposed high grade starter pits.

Holes TL-14-533, along with previously released TL-14-514 and TL-14-526 which intersected 61.0m of 3.44 g/t gold including 6.64 g/t gold over 30.0m plus 8.0m @ 0.21 WO₃ continues to successfully extend multiple high grade gold and tungsten mineralized structures up to or near surface in the eastern portion of the potential Twin Lakes open pit. (See Figures 1, 2 and 3: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/MGP0806.pdf).

In the central and western portion of the proposed open pit, holes TL-14-517, TL-14-523, TL-41-528, TL-05-275, TL-05-286, TL-11-391 and TL-03-121 were focused on identifying additional near surface high grade gold/tungsten mineralization through the expansion of the high grade mineralized cores.

Glen Kuntz, P.Geo, President and CEO, stated, "These drill and OCAP results are highly encouraging as they continue to further define the surface/near surface continuity of multiple high grade gold and tungsten intercepts both along strike and at depth with our 2014 and 2015 drilling program focused on expanding the high grade zones and identifying additional zones. Our objective is to include as much of the 2013/2014 drilling and OCAP program as possible into an updated gold/tungsten NI 43-101 resource estimate in the second half of 2014."

2014 Gold and Tungsten Infill Winter Drill Results

2014 Gold and Tungsten OCAP Infill Results

More than 12,000 m of new drilling (2013/2014) and over 10,000m of historical core from 94 drill holes of the OCAP program has yet to be incorporated into a new resource. Mega expects to provide an updated NI 43-101 resource during the second half of 2014 which will encompass gold, tungsten and include the results from the metallurgical testing program. The Company has limited deep drilling at Monument Bay which is located in an Abitibi style Green Stone Belt and has a similar style of gold and tungsten mineralization as the Hollinger Mine in the Timmins Camp. These types of deposits are known to extend beyond a depth of 2,000 m. The current Monument Bay pit constrained resource covers a strike length of 8 kms.

The 338km² property is located on Crown property 570 km northeast of Winnipeg and 340 km east southeast of Thompson, Manitoba. The nearest communities are Red Sucker Lake First Nation, 52 km to the southwest, and God's Lake Narrows First Nation, 100 km to the west.

Mega currently has winter road access to its camp from local communities. Manitoba's Current Northern Development Strategy is building all-purpose roads and infrastructure improvements within the region. Once these are complete, Mega will have all purpose roads within approximately 52 km of our project area. The current power lines which connect Red Sucker Lake First Nation and God's Lake Narrows First Nation have very low electricity rates (estimated at $0.02-0.04/kWh) and are approximately 48 kms 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
