Fortunate Sun Mining Announces Special General Meeting

Fortunate Sun Mining Company Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:FSM) announces that it will hold
a Special General Meeting on February 8, 2013. Resolutions to be considered are
as follows:




1.  To grant the Board of Directors discretionary authority to amend the
    Notice of Articles of the Company to change the Company's name from
    "Fortunate Sun Mining Company Ltd." to such name as may be deemed
    appropriate by the Board of Directors;
2.  To grant the Board of Directors discretionary authority to complete a
    share consolidation of the Company's common shares on the basis of up to
    five (5) pre-consolidation shares for every one (1) post-consolidation
    share (5:1) to occur at some time prior to the next annual general
    meeting, with the exact consolidation ratio and time of the
    consolidation to be determined by the Board of Directors;
3.  To approve and adopt an Advance Notice Policy.



The Board of Directors feels that, given the current venture market conditions,
it is imperative to re-structure the company in order to attract new projects
along with proven management and funding. The Board also feels that this will
give all shareholders the opportunity to participate in the future of the
company and ask for the support of the shareholders in voting in favour of these
resolutions.


On behalf of the Board of Directors,

Scott Young, Managing Director
