(\"Majestic\" or the \"Company\") (TSX.V: MJS, FSE: A0BK1D) is pleased to announce that the Company's subsidiary, Yantai Zhongjia Mining Co. Ltd. (\"Zhongjia\") has entered into a Letter of Intent (\"LOI\") with China Shandong No. 3 Mineral and Geological Exploration Institute (\"No. 3 Brigade\") to explore, and if appropriate, develop the Jincheng Gold Property (\"Jincheng\"), a 14.72 square kilometer concession contiguous with Majestic's Songjiagou Gold Mine (\"Songjiagou\"), located in east-central Shandong, China.\n\n \n \nTerms of the joint venture provide for Zhongjia to earn an 80% interest in the Jincheng Gold Property based on an evaluation of prior work done on Jincheng that is to be determined by an independent evaluator that is mutually acceptable to Zhongjia and the No. 3 Brigade.
