Hunt Mining Corp Initiates Drilling at La Josefina and La Valenciana Gold and Silver Projects in Argentina

Hunt Mining Corp. ("Hunt" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:HMX) is pleased to
announce it will start exploration and development drilling at the Corporation's
La Josefina and La Valenciana gold and silver projects in Santa Cruz Argentina.
The Corporation has awarded a service contract to promptly mobilize and commence
drilling this week. Drilling will begin first on the Corporation's Flagship La
Josefina Project followed by a second drill campaign on the La Valenciana
Project, located west of La Josefina and north of Coeur Mining Inc.'s Joaquin
Project.


The drill services contract was awarded to MD Perforaciones S.A., a division of
Eco Minera S.A. of Argentina, from bids solicited over the last several weeks.
The plan includes a minimum of 5,000 meters of HQ Diamond Core drilling
distributed over six or more individual precious metal bearing targets at both
La Josefina and La Valenciana.


"We are excited to resume drilling in Argentina and continuing the Corporation's
tangible approach in advancing our projects toward production," stated Chairman
and CEO Tim Hunt. "Other industry leaders have made their commitment to
Argentina clear with a major gold company recently announcing a Cdn. $450
million investment in advancing the Cerro Moro Gold project in Santa Cruz. In
addition, contiguous to our La Valenciana property, a second major mining entity
recently acquired the remaining 49% interest in the Joaquin silver deposit for
an estimated US $60 million cash and share settlement. Hunt Mining also remains
steadfast in its commitment to advancing our properties in Argentina."
