Majestic Gold Greatly Increases Resources at Its Songjiagou
Project
=======================================================================
Vancouver, British Columbia, April 23, 2010 -- Majestic Gold Corp.
(TSX.V: MJS) ("Majestic") is pleased to announce the results of an
updated resource estimate on its Song Jiagou Project.
The revised resource is:
Method Category Tonnes* Grade Au (g/t)**
Contained oz Au
Kriging Indicated 24,929,869 1.251
1,002,694
Kriging Inferred 28,133,107 1.883
1,703,174
Inverse Distance 2 Indicated 23,665,831 1.280
973,919
Inverse Distance 2 Inferred 26,089,673 1.762
1,477,970
Nearest Neighbour Indicated 21,408,861 1.531
1,053,804
Nearest Neighbour Inferred 24,190,043 2.430
1,889,879
*Calculations conducted using 0.4g/t cut-off
**Gold grades were capped at 40 g/t
Gold resources were estimated using Gemcom 6.2 software and gold grades
were interpolated into the block model by three methods: ordinary
kriging, inverse distance squared (ID2) and nearest neighbour (NN). In
all three methods, percent models (percent of a block within the
geological solid) were used. ID2 and NN were used as checks on the
credibility of ordinary kriging.
In 2006, Wardrop Engineering Inc. (Wardrop) prepared a National
Instrument 43-101 (NI 43- 101) compliant, resource estimate of the Song
Jiagou deposit. On the basis of additional data collected during 2006,
Wardrop prepared an updated estimate in late 2007. The current report
updates the 2007 Song Jiagou estimate and takes into account assay
results from surface core drilling and trenching that were carried out
since 2007, as well as depletion from surface mining since the time of
the last estimate. Depletion attributable to underground mining during
the same interval has been negligible.
Mr. Greg Mosher has made an inspection of the cores at site as part of
the due diligence for the updated resource calculation and NI 43- 101
report.
The revised estimate represents in excess of 138% increase in the
tonnage and a 112% increase in contained gold in the Indicated category
and a 15% increase in tonnage in the Inferred category but a 228%
increase in Contained ounces.
"We are extremely encouraged by the results of the revised estimate as
it further supports the theories of our exploration teams over the past
years. We have been extremely fortunate to have had a terrific team of
geologists contribute their knowledge and expertise to this project.
They have been responsible for advancing the project from an
exploration project to its current status." stated Rod Husband,
president of Majestic. "We look forward to complete the acquisition of
the remaining interest in the project and execute our plans to expand
on the current mining operations and confirm the economics of this
project."
Majestic is aggressively pursuing a pre-feasibility study with Wardrop
Engineering with the goal to expand the operation from the current
1,400 tonnes per day open pit and underground operation to at least a
5,000 tonnes per day open pit operation.
More detailed information concerning the revised resource can be found
in the 2010 Technical Report on the Song Jiagou Property to be posted
at www.sedar.com. A summary of significant information added to the
database since the 2007 estimate can be found on the Company's website
at www.majesticgold.net.

has been reviewed and approved by Greg Mosher, P. Eng, of Wrdrop
Engineering, and Mike Hibbitts, P.Geo., who are qualified persons under
the definitions established by National Instrument 43-101.
