Meadow Bay Capital Corporation ("Meadow Bay") (TSX VENTURE:MAY) announced on
January 20, 2011 that it has entered into an arm's length Letter of Intent dated
January 20, 2011 to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common stock of
Desert Hawk Resources Inc. ("Desert Hawk"), a private Delaware corporation. The
purpose of this news release is to provide additional facts which were not
disclosed in the January 20th news release and for this purpose the additional
information has been included hereunder. Desert Hawk is a mining and exploration
company with three gold projects in Nevada including an option on the former
producing Atlanta Gold and Silver Mine, the Colorback Gold Project and the
Spruce Mountain Molybdenum, Copper, Silver Project. On closing and subject to a
definitive agreement and other customary conditions, including but not limited
to, TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") approval, Meadow Bay will issue 7.5 million
common shares to the shareholders of Desert Hawk. Meadow Bay will pay a
US$100,000 non-refundable deposit to Desert Hawk and upon closing make a further
US$237,500 payment.


Meadow Bay has engaged Casimir Capital Ltd. as a placement agent in connection
with a US$10 million brokered equity financing to be priced in the context of
the market. US$6 million of the proceeds of the financing will be used to
exercise the purchase of the Atlanta Mine and the balance retained for working
capital to fund ongoing exploration and mine development. The business plan will
include the reinstatement of production at the Atlanta Mine. The Atlanta Mine
produced 1.5 million tons of ore containing 0.09 ounces gold/ton and 1.25 ounces
silver/ton and recovered 121,000 ounces of gold and 800,000 ounces of silver
during the period 1975 to 1985 based on historic production records from the
Bobcat Properties Inc.-Standard Slag Production Joint Venture. The remaining
indicated resource of 338,520 ounces gold (6.21 million tons grading 0.054
oz/ton Au) and inferred resource of 125,960 ounces of gold (3.07 million tons
grading 0.041 oz/ton Au) and indicated resource of 3.1 ounces of silver (6.21
million tons grading 0.506 oz/ton Ag) and an inferred resource of 0.7 million
ounces of silver (3.07 million tons grading 0.236 oz/ton Ag) has been estimated
by previous workers which is not compliant with standards as set out in National
Instrument 43-101. This historical resource is based upon an internal study
completed by Kinross Gold U.S.A. Inc. during the period of 1997-1998. Kinross
performed extensive field mapping and sampling plus along with drilling of
approximately 80 RC holes for a total of 54,255 feet. This drilling combined
with the prior drilling by Gold Fields with 11 core holes (9,286 feet) and 71
reverse circulation holes (46,735 feet) and the drill program by Standard Slag
provides the database for the internal resource estimate. Block models were
prepared and resources calculated based upon various cut-off grades. The
reported historical resources were calculated at a cut-off grade of 0.2 oz/ton
Au.


As above is a pre-2001 historical resource estimate, readers are cautioned that
a Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical
estimate as current mineral resources and the issuer is not treating the
historical estimate as current mineral resources and the historical estimate
should not be relied upon.


The mine development plan will include substantial pit expansion and capital
expenditures to refurbish the mining equipment and near term production
potential. In addition to the excellent near-term development aspect of the
project, Meadow Bay considers the Atlanta Mine to offer excellent exploration
and development upside by drilling extensions to the known mineralization and
larger scale production than previous mining through both pit-extension and
possibly underground mining. As a feasibility study has not been completed there
is no certainty the proposed operation will be economically viable. Closing of
the equity financing is subject to, among other things, TSXV approval.


The Colorback Gold Project is on the Battle Mountain trend 12 miles north of
Pipeline. The property is host to both surface gold targets and a lower-plate
Carlin-Style gold system. Previous surface sampling contains gold values as high
as 1 ounce per ton and near surface intercepts in upper plate chart considered
leakage from the deeper system.
