VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 21, 2011) - 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 20^th 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.
