Meadow Bay Gold Corporation ("Meadow Bay") (TSX VENTURE: MAY)(PINK
SHEETS: MBYCF)(FRANKFURT:20M WKN A1C3DN) reports the results of
surface samples on its Colorback Gold Project located 12 miles
north of Barrick's Pipeline Mine in Nevada. The results of the
surface sampling program at the drill target site are as follows:
Sample Grams/ton gold
SS#1 8.70
SS#2 8.20
SS#3 4.80
SS#4 1.84
SS#5 0.52
SS#6 0.28
SS#7 0.10
SS#8 0.09
Below is an earlier claim map with a color coded key
illustrating the gold grades across the entire project area. The
map shows the location where exploration drilling is planned for
year 2011. All surface samples are in quartzite, chert and
siltstone with planned drill depths to 800 meters targeted to test
for limestone hosted gold mineralization similar to Barrick Gold's
Pipeline and Cortez Hills Deposits. Seismic data collected during
the mapping and sampling program supports the estimated depth to
limestone, although may have alternate interpretations. Drilling
will be required to test the seismic interpretation.

The results of previous exploration at the Colorback project
indicates potential for thrust-related gold mineralization in the
upper plate rocks similar to the nearby Hilltop deposit.
Alternatively, the gold in the upper plate rocks may represent
leakage from gold-bearing fluids passing through the carbonate
formations of the lower plate. Disseminated gold mineralization in
lower plate carbonate rocks hosts most of the large gold deposits
in the Cortez - Battle Mountain trend as well as elsewhere in the
prolific northern Nevada goldfields.
