Maverick Provides Final Report on Initial Test Well

• Lankford Trust # 1 Provides Geological Interpretation

HOUSTON, March 24 /PRNewswire/ - Maverick Minerals Corporation (OTC.QB: MVRM) (hereafter "Maverick" or the "Company") announces today that it has unsuccessfully attempted to complete two prospective hydrocarbon zones previously identified in the Lankford Trust #1 initial test well. (see press release: HOUSTON, TX, Jan. 31, 2011). The initial test well was spud on December 9, 2010 and reached its targeted depth of 13,500 feet on day 44 of the drilling program. The Company's independent log analyst and project engineer concurred at that time that the targeted Wilcox zones were not commercially productive, despite the presence of significant down hole pressure and strong natural gas shows during drilling. The target sands were very poorly developed and not suitable for a completion attempt. Accordingly, the decision was made to not set production casing and to look up hole for completion opportunities.

The first completion attempt was a potential oil reservoir near 8,000'.  The Yegua sand was indicated as potentially productive from open hole log analysis but proved to be non-productive after testing.

The second completion attempt was made on a shallow Miocene zone.  There had not been an open hole log across this interval but a significant gas show was seen on the mud log while drilling this interval.  The zone was perforated and swab tested during the week of March 14-19 but yielded no significant gas.

Maverick's engineers have now completed plugging the Lankford Trust # 1 pursuant to regulations of the Texas Railway Commission.  As a result of the drilling of the initial test well the Company has acquired valuable insight into the Geology and stratigraphy of its Farm Out Acreage.  Further work is expected to be conducted by the Company on log and seismic data in order to determine the feasibility of new drilling or re-entry as the case may be.
