MRK Merc International Minerals Inc.

Merc International Minerals Inc. ("Merc") (TSX VENTURE:MRK) has now completed
the previously reported (see January 26, 2010 news release) ground geophysical
program at its Damoti Lake Gold Project. The program was carried out between
January and early March 2010, and consisted of detailed ground magnetic,
electromagnetic, and localized induced polarization surveys. Initial orientation
surveys focused on gold mineralized zones previously drilled by Merc in order to
determine their physical responses and characteristics and create a geophysical
"footprint" of known mineralized areas. Subsequent work was then broadened to
trace mineralization along strike and down plunge within the host structures and
identify potential drill targets with similar geophysical "footprints"
throughout the property's 14 kilometre strike length of gold mineralized iron
formation.


Mobilization for Merc's Damoti Lake 2010 Winter Drill Program is underway and
Merc anticipates drilling to begin in late March 2010. This drill program
(10,000 - 12,000 meters) will focus on the BIF Island, Horseshoe, and Red
Mountain Zones, as well as other drill targets identified by the geophysical
program. 


Merc's first drill program was completed in early November 2009 and included 27
drill holes (5,600 metres) of which 96% intersected gold mineralization. (For
further results please visit Merc's website: www.mercinternational.ca).


"Results from our recently completed geophysical program have been instrumental
in helping us better identify new drill targets and to follow known
mineralization along strike," stated Dr. Michael Byron, President & CEO of Merc.
"We are very excited about Merc's second drill program and the untested
potential the property presents."


Merc will be displaying core samples from its Damoti Lake 2009 Summer Drill
Program at the 2010 Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada's (PDAC)
Trade Show in Toronto, Ontario. The core may be viewed on Sunday, March 7 and
Monday, March 8, 2010 at the PDAC Core Shack, Booth #5004, Level 700, Metro
Toronto Convention Center, South Building.
