MSA Mesa Exploration Corp

Minsud Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:MSR) ("Minsud" or the "Company") is pleased
to announce a 3,500 meter Phase I diamond drilling program at the Chita Valley
Project ("Chita") strategically located in the world-class El Indio mining
district of Chile and Argentina where the Pascua-Lama and Veladero mines
(Barrick) and the Del Carmen project (Malbex Resources) are located.


The Chita Property, which covers a total of 12,850 hectares, consists of four
contiguous parcels of land, three government approved mining concessions (8,350
ha) operated under separate option agreements, and one pending exploration
application (4,500 ha).


The Chita property is underlain by a large, 4,800 hectare hydrothermal
alteration system related to at least three separate porphyry intrusions;
however less than 20% of the property has been systematically prospected and
sampled. 


The first documented exploration work started in 1968 by a Argentine government
agency, the Direccion General de Fabricaciones Militares who drilled eight
shallow diamond drill holes on porphyritic monzodiorite intrusives searching for
a Cu-Mo porphyry type system. The project was then explored by Barlow
Exploration (1989), Minas Argentinas (1995), Apex Silver (2006) and Rio Tinto
(2008).


Structurally the Chita Property is located along a WNW striking valley
corresponding to a regional transfer fault where it intersects N-S, arc parallel
faults of the Andean fault system. Mineralized intrusive complexes such as the
Chita Cu-Mo porphyry are typically located at such junctures. More specifically,
mineralization on Chita is controlled by three main structural systems, namely,
WNW, N-S, and ENE to NE, which correspond to veins, stockworks and hydrothermal
breccias that may grade into one another at depth.


In 2008, Minera Sud Argentina S.A., Minsud's Argentinean subsidiary operating
company ("MSA") collared three diamond drill holes totaling 845 m in the areas
of the Chinchillones South zone and the Chinchillones Breccia testing
geophysical anomalies and intersected low sulphidation epithermal mineralization
and shallow levels of a Cu+Au porphyry system. During 2009, MSA carried out a
program of trenching over the main vein swarms and breccia structures and over
1,200 rock chip samples were collected and assayed. Geochemical assay results
and mineralized intersections in the drill holes were used for targeting new
areas for future drilling.


High grade gold-silver-base metal values were returned from epithermal veins in
and around the porphyry system and extensive low grade gold-silver was obtained
from hydrothermal breccias and altered granodiorite.


Minsud has commenced its Phase I drilling program to systematically explore the
high grade gold-silver zones in the Project consisting in 3,500 m in 16 holes
distributed as follows (see attached map):




1.  Target Chinchillones: 1,000 m (five drill holes)                        
2.  Target Minas de Pinto: 800 m (three drill holes)                        
3.  Target Romina: 900 m (five drill holes)                                 
4.  Target Munoz Dora: 500 m (two drill holes)                              
5.  Target Porphyry Chita: 300 m (one drill hole)                           



Mr. Carlos Massa, President and CEO said, "In conjunction with Minsud's recent
completed financing and commencement of trading on the TSX-Venture Exchange on
May 25,, 2011, we are very pleased to announce the commencement of the drilling
program at Chita Valley Project. These are major milestones that demonstrate our
serious commitment to project development in the shortest possible time-frame."
