MAYEN MINERALS LTD. (TSX VENTURE:MYM) (the "Company" or "Mayen"). Further to the
Company's news release dated May 26, 2010, Mayen is pleased to announce that the
Company has entered into a definitive agreement dated July 9, 2010 (the "Option
Agreement") among Ivonne Boileve Romero ("Romero"), Navial Holdings S.A. de C.V.
("Navial Holdings"), Navial Mineria S.A. de C.V. ("Navial Mineria" and together
with Romero and Navial Holdings, the "Optionors") and Minmay S.A. de C.V.
("Minmay"), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, for the
acquisition (the "Acquisition") of up to an undivided 56% interest in 6 claim
blocks comprising approximately 462,000 hectares located in the north-western
section of Baja California, Mexico (the "Property"). The Optionors are an arm's
length party to the Company, and therefore, shareholder approval of the
Acquisition will not be required by the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V").


Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement, the Company, through Minmay may
incorporate a subsidiary pursuant to the laws of Mexico for the purpose of
holding Minmay's respective interest in the Property. The Acquisition may occur
in up to three phases. In phase one, the Company, through Minmay, will acquire a
25% interest in the Property by paying US$1,000,000 and issuing 500,000 common
shares in the capital of the Company (the "Shares"). In phase two, Minmay may
acquire an additional 25% interest in the Property (for an aggregate 50%
interest) by spending not less than US$2,500,000 in expenditures on or before
the 18 month anniversary of the date TSX-V approves the Acquisition (the
"Effective Date"). In the final phase, Minmay may acquire a further 6% interest
(for an aggregate 56% interest) in the Property by spending an additional
US$1,500,000 in expenditures on or before the 30 month anniversary of the
Effective Date. At any time after completion of phase one, the Company may elect
not to acquire any further interest in the Property and immediately form a joint
venture with the Optionors to further explore and develop the Property.


The Company has also entered into a Finder's Fee agreement dated July 9, 2010
with Mining Advisory Services Inc. The Company will pay a Finders' fees for the
Acquisition in Shares within the maximum amount permitted by the policies of the
TSX-V.


Closing of the Acquisition is subject, amongst other things, to the completion
of satisfactory due diligence on the Property by the Company, including review
of a title opinion, the preparation of a National Instrument 43-101 compliant
technical report for the Property, financing and the approval of the TSX-V.
