VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - April 27, 2011) - Majestic Gold Corp. (News - Market indicators) ("Majestic") is pleased to provide a progress update on the new mill construction for the company's flagship Song Jiagou project.

The mill is in the commissioning stage and has begun running ore through the mill in order to access the efficiency of the mill. Majestic expects to run at an initial throughput rate of 3,000 tonnes per day and progressively move upwards towards full capacity of 6,000 tonnes per day once the mill is running at optimal efficiency.

Ore that has been stockpiled at the new mill in order to streamline the commissioning process is currently being processed as part of the commissioning stage. In addition, Majestic is pleased to announce that the tailings dam is fully completed and all tailings lines and water return systems are in place and now in use.

"We are excited by the prospect of getting the new mill on line and being in a position to significantly increase production levels," stated Rod Husband, President of Majestic. "This represents a significant milestone in our transition from exploration to production."
