Notes:
Increase in tonnes milled between the quarter ended 31-Mar-11 and the quarters ended 30-Jun-11 and 30-Sep-11 was a res
--->ult of the commissioning of the new 6,000 tpd mill in May 2011.  This mill was operated at various levels to properly 
--->test and fine-tune its operation through to the end of June.  

Effective grade is the net real grade or the mill through-put and is calculated by taking the sum of gold in concentra
--->te plus gold lost to tails and dividing by tonnes milled.  This grade has been significantly higher than the assayed v
--->alues of the head grade.  It is believed to be a result of a significant free-gold component in the rock, which result
--->s in the nugget-effect on samples.  The Company is looking to implement more detailed head grade sampling and assay pr
--->ocedures in an effort to reduce this error. (There is a good chance this error also occurs in the drill holes, as it i
--->s very hard to get representative holes).

The slight decline in tonnes milled for the period ended 31-Dec-2011 is a result of the mill being shut down for maint
--->enance for 7 days in October 2011.

Total mill throughput averaged 4,925 tpd for the six months ended 31-Dec-11 or approximately 66.5% of total capacity.

Gold production results were in line with the block model estimates and schedule provided by Wardrop in the Preliminar
--->y Assessment Technical Report ("PEA Report") released January 20, 2011.  The Company is currently producing from areas
---> considered to be waste in the PEA Report but given the price of gold and the contract mining agreement it has been de
--->termined that this material can be mined and generate positive cash flows.  Once this material has been removed and ei
--->ther milled or stockpiled, the Company will commence mining the higher-grade material situated below it.  During the c
--->alendar year ended December 31, 2011, the Company was processed all of the material that was mined from the pit.  This
---> was due to the lack of land where waste or low-grade material could be stockpiled.  Recently, the Company secured an 
--->area to dump waste and low-grade material and plans are being initiated to increase the total tonnes removed from the 
--->pit.  Majestic will continue to process the low-grade material to generate cash flows but expects to see a slow and st
--->eady increase in throughput and grade.

The geological and technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and  approved by Mike Hibbit
