Augyva Mining Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: AUV) ("Augyva" or the "Company") is pleased to present an update on its major drill program at the Duncan Lake Iron Ore Property ("DLIOP" or "Duncan") (Augyva 49% - Century (TSX VENTURE: FER) 51%).

Augyva has almost completed the first 8,000 meters of its Phase II drilling program announced in December. Phase II began in late January 2011 and a total of 24 holes have been drilled to date. Assay results will follow shortly.

The total planned footage of the current Phase II drilling campaign is estimated at a minimum of 50,000 meters. Phase II is designed to define additional tonnage in the extensions of deposits 4, 6 and mainly 3. Following up on the successful 2008-2009 Phase I drilling campaign, which saw substantial NI 43-101 compliant resources, and based on the NI 43-101 compliant technical report on the mineral resource estimate prepared by Met-Chem (see Augyva's press releases of February 4 and March 4, 2010), the DLIOP deposits have been relatively well outlined by drilling and geophysical surveys completed in Phase I. However, additional drilling was required in order to convert Inferred Resources into the Measured or Indicated Mineral Resource category.

As announced in Augyva's press release of December 6, 2010, Canadian Century Iron Ore Corporation ("Century") has completed its funding of $6,000,000 to earn a 51% interest in the Duncan Lake Iron Ore Property. Augyva is the Operator of the DLIOP until the funded amount is fully utilized for the Project and then Operatorship shall then be transferred. Century has the option to acquire an additional 14% interest in the Project by incurring exploration, construction and/or operating costs totalling $14,000,000 or by completing a feasibility report in respect of the Project.

Augyva and Century are focusing on increasing and upgrading the Duncan Lake project's Inferred Resources to the Measured and Indicated Resource category, in preparation for a Feasibility study.
