Minsud Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:MSR) ("Minsud" or the "Company") is pleased
to announce that, through a subsidiary, it has acquired a 50% beneficial
interest in a trust that owns the Brechas Vacas property (the "Trust"). Minera
Sud Argentina S.A. ("MSA"), the Company's Argentine subsidiary, acquired the
interest in the Trust from the beneficial owners of the Brechas Vacas property
(the "BV Owners") in exchange for payment of US$210,000 in accordance with the
terms of an option agreement dated September 7, 2007, as amended, between the BV
Owners and MSA. 


The remaining 50% beneficial interest in the Trust is held by the BV Owners and
is subject to a new exclusive and irrevocable purchase option agreement (the
"Option") granted in favour of MSA. The Option provides MSA with an irrevocable
and exclusive right to purchase the remaining 50% beneficial interest in the
Trust in addition to the exclusive right to evaluate, prospect and explore the
Brechas Vacas property. 


The Option is subject to semi-annual staggered payments to the BV Owners of
US$710,000 in aggregate commencing on July 4, 2012 and ending on December 9,
2016 in addition to an aggregate payment of US$220,000 in Minsud common shares
commencing on June 28, 2013 and ending on December 9, 2016. The Option can be
fully exercised by MSA at any time but not later than June 7, 2017 (the
"Expiration Date"). The Option's final exercise price is US$1,070,000 payable
US$535,000 in cash and US$535,000 in Minsud common shares. If MSA decides to
exercise the Option before the Expiration Date, 75% of any outstanding payments,
whether accrued or not, will be added to the final exercise price of the Option.
 


Each payment in common shares to the BV Owners under the terms of the Option
will be made at the then market price of Minsud's common shares. 


Once the Option is exercised and the remaining 50% of the beneficial interest in
the Trust is transferred to MSA, the BV Owners will retain a 1.5% Net Smelter
Return ("NSR") on the Brechas Vacas property with Minsud having the option to
purchase a 0.75% NSR, at any time, for a one-time payment of US$750,000. 


The foregoing is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. 

About the Brechas Vacas property: The Brechas Vacas Property comprises three
mining concessions Luis, Luis I and Luis IV totaling 2,580 ha located in the
westernmost part of Minsud's consolidated Chita Valley properties. Contiguous to
Brechas Vacas, the Chita Valley properties also include the Chita, Minas de
Pinto and Chita II claim, for a cumulative grand total area of 12,800 ha.  


Recently MSA drilled the Chinchillones Ag-Au occurrence on the Brechas Vacas
property which requires further systematic exploration. See press release dated
September 14, 2011 where Minsud stated "ChS1104 intercepted 72.0 g/t silver and
0.23 g/t gold over 13.0 m and 393.0 g/t silver and 0.44 g/t gold over 1 meter". 


Other areas of demonstrated significant exploration potential include the
Placetas and Porphyry "A" porphyries and the Brecha Chinchillones, Brechas Ridge
and Horse tail prospects which have sound indications of epithermal
mineralization types. 


Carlos Massa, Minsud's President and Chief Executive Officer stated "The
execution of these agreements represents an important step in consolidating
Minsud's Chita Valley project."
