     We have acted as counsel to Maverick Minerals Corporation (the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, in connection with the registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) for the registration of up to 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Registered Shares”), for sale by the Company as further described in the Registration Statement.

In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed:

- 2 -

     We have assumed that all signatures on all documents examined by us are genuine, that all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic and that all documents submitted to us as copies or as facsimiles of copies or originals, conform with the originals, which assumptions we have not independently verified. As to all questions of fact material to this opinion which have not been independently established, we have relied upon the statements or certificates of officers or representatives of the Company.

     Based upon the foregoing and the examination of such legal authorities as we have deemed relevant, and subject to the qualifications and further assumptions set forth below, we are of the opinion that the Registered Shares have been duly authorized and when issued, sold and paid for as contemplated in the Prospectus, the Registered Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

     This opinion letter is opining upon and is limited to the current federal laws of the United States and the Nevada Revised Statutes, including the statutory provisions, all applicable provisions of the Nevada constitution, and reported judicial decisions interpreting those laws, as such laws presently exist and to the facts as they presently exist. We express no opinion with respect to the effect or applicability of the laws of any other jurisdiction. We assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion letter should the laws of such jurisdiction be changed after the date hereof by legislative action, judicial decision or otherwise.

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and to the use of our name therein and in the related Prospectus under the caption “Legal Matters.” In giving such consent, we do not hereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission.
