MXL MX Gold Corp

MX Gold Corp. (TSX-V:MXL) (FSE:ODV) (OTCQX:MXLGF) (the “Company” or “MX Gold”) announces that, further to its news release dated October 25, 2016 regarding the entry into a binding agreement (the “Agreement”) to acquire a 50% interest in the Magistral, Del Oro tailings project (the “Project”), the Company paid the second installment of US$750,000 to the owner of the Project as required by the Agreement.  Pursuant to an amendment agreement dated November 22, 2016, the parties have also expressed their intention to negotiate in good faith and enter into a definitive agreement in the near future.

The Company’s remaining payments consist of a US$750,000 payment on or prior to December 20, 2016 and a final payment of US$750,000 on or prior to January 19, 2017, following which the Company will earn a 50% participating ownership interest and 45% net profit participating interest in the Project.

The project includes a fully permitted, 500 tonne-per-day dynamic cyanide countercurrent system plant constructed in 2013 at a cost of approximately $4.5 million, which appears to be in excellent condition. The plant is unencumbered and it is estimated that the plant can be fully operational within four to six months. Additionally, the Magistral project includes the exclusive rights to process the mineralized mill tailings.

About the Magistral project mineralized tailings project

A historical estimate was completed by Corporation Ambiental de Mexico SA de CV on Jan. 20, 2012, titled "Perforacion y Muestreo en Presa de Jaleas Estimation Volumetrica, Tonelaje y Ley Promedio." The CM report estimated a probable reserve of 1.25 million tonnes averaging 2.06 grams per tonne gold. The assumptions for this estimate were based on 58 auger samples, 2.45 metres to three metres in length from 24 drill holes. There has been no additional work on the tailings project since Jan. 20, 2012, to upgrade or verify the historical estimate.

The CM report does not comply with National Instrument 43-101 and MX Gold believes that a qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource or reserve and is not treating the historical estimate as a current mineral resource or reserve. The company has initiated a data verification program with additional geochemical studies by trenching of the tailings project. Initial results appear to be confirming historical grade estimates.

The technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Lorne Warner, P.Geo, and a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
