Mala Noche Resources Corp.: Announces Equity Financing

Mala Noche Resources Corp. (“Mala Noche“ or the “Company“) (TSX VENTURE: MLA) (to be re-named Primero Mining Corp.) announced today that, in connection with the previously announced San Dimas acquisition (the “Acquisition“), it has filed a preliminary prospectus with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the Provinces and Territories in Canada, except Quebec, in connection with a proposed fully marketed public offering of subscription receipts. The offering is being made on an underwritten basis with a syndicate led by Canaccord Genuity Corp.

The proceeds of the offering will be used to complete the acquisition of the San Dimas mine and related assets from subsidiaries of Goldcorp Inc., and for working capital. Please see Mala Noche's press release of June 2, 2010 announcing the proposed Acquisition.

Each Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder thereof to acquire, for no additional consideration, one post-consolidation common share of Mala Noche (an “Underlying Share“). The Subscription Receipts will automatically convert into Underlying Shares on Mala Noche completing the Acquisition. All of the gross proceeds of the Offering will be deposited into escrow (the “Escrowed Funds“). The Escrowed Funds will be released to Mala Noche, net of Offering expenses and commissions, immediately before the closing of the Acquisition provided all other conditions for the closing have been satisfied. If the Acquisition is not completed, the Escrowed Funds, plus any accrued interest earned thereon, will be returned pro rata to each holder of the Subscription Receipts in exchange for that number of Subscription Receipts held by such holder.

Immediately before the closing of the Acquisition the Company intends to consolidate all of its common shares. The Underlying Shares will be issued on a post-consolidation basis.

The Company is targeting a post-consolidation offering price of $6.00 per Common Share and a consolidation ratio of one new Common Share for every ten to twenty pre-consolidation Common Shares.

A copy of Mala Noche's preliminary prospectus will be available on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com.
