MXV Maximus Ventures Ltd Com Npv

Maximus Ventures Ltd. ("Maximus") (TSX VENTURE:MXV) is pleased to announce today
the beginning of a 3,600m drilling program on its Unity project located in
Idaho. The work will focus on testing the lateral and down-dip extensions of
historically very high-grade (30 to 150g/t gold) and very extensive (up to 2km
long) quartz veins.  A first phase of work includes testing two of the richest
gold veins, namely the Little Giant and Rescue veins and investigating other
gold-rich veins on the property including Charity and Gun Metal.  Should the
drilling program be successful, a pre-feasibility study to justify the
rehabilitation of old workings and additional underground development would then
be commissioned?


A striking feature of this project is the extent of the gold-rich narrow quartz
vein system. While individual veins range from few centimetres to often over 1
metre in thickness, they can be traced for hundreds to thousands of meters along
strike and occur over an area of over 4 square kilometres. The veins are locally
very high-grade and are reported to have locally-yielded grades of up to several
hundred ounces of gold per tonne. However, production grades were generally
recorded at 30 to 150 grams per tonne (1 to 5 ounces per ton) according to
historic information (John C. Reed, 1937; Geology and Ore Deposits of the Warren
Mining District, Idaho County, Idaho). Over 1.2 million ounces of gold was
historically produced from the area, both from underground and alluvial
operations. Maximus believes that there is excellent potential to develop
resources both in previously-mined veins and in veins that are yet to be
explored by diamond drilling.


To date, 41 different gold-bearing quartz veins have been identified on the
property, of which the Rescue, the Little Giant and the Charity are three of the
18 better-known veins and supplied most of the reported historic gold
production. These veins are still open laterally and down-dip and, with limited
exploration and development work, their extensions could potentially be mined
again from an existing 1,600m long adit.


No previous drilling has been recorded on the property and all previous
exploration efforts were conducted using trenching and underground drifting
along the veins. There are strong geological indications that significant
mineralization remains in place along the three principal veins already exposed
by old workings (either laterally or down-dip). Furthermore, many other
gold-bearing quartz veins, parallel to or intersecting the main veins remain, to
be explored.


Unity Property

Maximus, through its wholly-owned US subsidiary, Walker Lane Gold LLC (Walker),
can earn a 60% joint venture interest from Unity GoldSilver Mines Inc. by
spending US$1.0 million in exploration and development work on the property and
by completing a positive feasibility study on or before November 30, 2010.  The
property located in Township 22N, Idaho County, Idaho consists of 8 patented
claims and 51 leased (staked) claims covering 420 hectares. The objective of the
work program planned for Unity is to complete, as soon as possible, a
feasibility study to evaluate the economic viability of reopening the Unity gold
mine.

Forward-looking Statements

This news release contains certain "forward-looking statements". All statements,

developments that Maximus believes, expects or anticipates will or may occur in

reflect the current internal projections, expectations or beliefs of management

statements are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties
beyond Maximus' control including uncertainties related to the exploration
program, potential mineralization, exploration results, completion of work
program, and availability of equipment necessary for the drilling program and
future plans and objectives of Maximus.  Resource exploration, development and
operations are highly speculative, characterized by a number of significant
risks, which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge
may not eliminate, including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting
not only from the failure to discover mineral resources but from finding mineral
deposits which, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to
return a profit from production. There can be no assurance that such statements
will prove to be accurate and actual results could differ materially from those
suggested by these forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements
herein are qualified by this cautionary statement. Accordingly, readers should
not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Maximus undertakes no
