Magellan Minerals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:MNM)(OTCQX:MAGNF) ("Magellan") is pleased to
announce the results of follow up trench sampling at the recently identified Ivo
prospect located at the Cuiu Cuiu project in the state of Para in northern
Brazil. The Cuiu Cuiu project currently contains 3.4Mt @ 1.0g/t gold (100,000oz)
of Indicated resources and 31Mt @ 1.2g/t gold (1,200,000oz) of Inferred
resources (see press release dated 8th March 2011).


Highlights include:-



--  5m @ 54.8g/t gold in a trench located approximately 110 m west and along
    strike from the area with previously reported gold values of 2m @ 104g/t
    gold. The mineralized zone remains open along strike to the east and
    west and is also open in terms of width 
--  15m @ 2.3g/t gold including 5m @ 5.7g/t gold in a trench located 35-45m
    immediately north of the exposed surface workings at Ivo 
--  10m @ 1.0g/t gold including 5m @ 1.7g/t gold in a trench 40-50m south of
    the exposed surface workings at Ivo 



The results reported here are from three trenches which were designed to follow
up the recently released channel sample results from surface workings at the Ivo
target which is located approximately 800m north of the Moreira Gomes gold
deposit (see press release dated 11th October 2012). Trenches were developed
immediately to the north, south and west of the main east-west trending
mineralized structure at Ivo in order to further test the continuity and width
of the mineralization at Ivo. 


The identification of 5m @ 54.8g/t gold in a trench 60m west of the Ivo showing
extends the Ivo zone an additional 60m to the west and increases the total
exposed strike length from 240 to 300m. These results are also located
approximately 110 m west and along strike from the area with previously reported
gold values of 2m @ 104g/t gold. The zone remains open both to the east and west
and to the north since the high grade mineralization was returned from the most
northerly sample in the trench (see map on website).


Of the trenches developed to the north and south of the Ivo showing, the most
northerly trench returned 15m @ 2.3g/t gold including 5m @ 5.7g/t gold
suggesting that the mineralized zone at Ivo may extend an additional 35-45m in
terms of width to the north of the exposed surface workings. Similarly, the
trench developed to the south of the Ivo showing returned 10m @ 1.0g/t gold
including 5m @ 1.7g/t gold located 40-50m south of the exposed surface workings.
This last sample was returned from the most southerly part of the trench and
suggests that the zone remains open in terms of width to the south.


The results returned from the trenching suggest that the mineralized zone at Ivo
could be 125m in width or at the very least, comprised of three parallel
mineralized zones. The sheeted vein / stockwork mineralization exposed on
surface is the most intense so far mapped on surface at Cuiu Cuiu.


Further work at Ivo will focus on additional trenching and trado sampling along
strike from the surface workings. Trado work is also in progress at the Ratinho
and Ratinho South gold-in-soil anomalies which are located 8.5 to 9km NW of the
Central deposit. Magellan is currently awaiting quotations for a diamond drill
program to test these previously untested targets.
