VANCOUVER, March 5 /CNW/ - GOLD JACKPOT ASSAYS: Mexivada's Gold Jackpot property was sampled by a large third party company who reported to Mexivada that it had taken rock chip samples in the central, higher-grade core area, and had received assays grading up to 16 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold, 258 g/t tellurium, and 147 g/t silver. Mexivada personnel are designing a drilling program with the goal of testing this central core area at Gold Jackpot in 2010.

Gold Jackpot contains widespread and extensive, locally high-grade gold-enriched polymetallic mineralization throughout an area of 2 square kilometres in the central core area and discontinuously over approximately a 6 km length. Gold mineralization is closely associated with tellurium, silver, and lead. A 650 by 150 metre central core area at Gold Jackpot is the locus of the highest grade mineralization, including a Mexivada sample that assayed 4.844 g/t gold, 338.9 g/t tellurium, 239.7 g/t silver, 2.4% lead, 332 g/t copper, and 15 g/t indium. The three samples highest in copper carried 1046, 551, and 522 g/t Cu, suggesting that a "porphyry-style" intrusive could lie at depth in this area.

JEFFERSON PROPERTY, LETTER OF INTENT: Mexivada signed a non-binding Letter of Intent on March 4, 2010 through which Trilogy Mining Corporation could acquire a 90% interest in the Jefferson Property, located 35 kilometres east of the Round Mountain gold mine open pit in Nye County, Nevada, after a 30 day period of "due diligence". Mexivada would reserve a two percent net smelter return royalty, which could be purchased by Trilogy.

Redfern, M.Sc. and Certified Professional Geologist, a 'qualified person' for the purposes on National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Properties, has verified the information and evaluated the interpretations contained in this news release.
