Mission Mining Company Holds Possibly the World's Largest Known Rhenium Deposit at its California El Dorado Mine

Mission Mining Company - Mission Mining Company is pleased to report that its po tential in-ground Rhenium resources. Las Vegas, NV, August 27, 2013 -- Mission Mining Company (OTC Pink:MISM) - Missi on Mining Company is pleased to report that its potential in-ground Rhenium reso urces likely make the El Dorado Mine one of only three known significant deposit s of Rhenium in existence. If further testing confirms the initial data, the El Dorado may possibly hold the world's largest known Rhenium deposit. Worldwide de mand for Rhenium is increasing rapidly, and is in danger of outpacing supply. Th is creates a unique business opportunity for Mission Mining Company. As a result of securing both the El Dorado Mine and the Gold Star Mine, Mission Mining Company has strategically positioned itself within the precious metals mi ning industry to potentially become one of the largest mining companies in North America. Future production from these mining properties, as well as from other possible acquisitions now being reviewed by Management, is anticipated to genera te substantial revenues and profits for the Company for the benefit of its share holders, thus allowing the Company to achieve its goal of evolving into a global leader in the mining industry. As an important step in its mine development str ategy, the Company plans to conduct additional, extensive, third party testing b y qualified and certified geologists, mining engineers, and assayers in respect of each of its mining properties so as to verify and clarify published in-ground resource quantities and values as stated in the existing / historical test repo rts, assays, and valuation reports. What is Rhenium, and why is it important? Rhenium (Re), the last naturally occurring element to be discovered, was discove red in Germany in 1925. The process was so complicated and the cost so high that production was discontinued until early 1950 when tungsten-rhenium and molybden um-rhenium alloys were prepared. These alloys found important applications in in dustry that resulted in a great demand for the rhenium produced from the molybde nite fraction of porphyry copper ores. Important uses of rhenium have been in pl atinum-rhenium catalysts, used primarily in producing lead-free, high-octane gas oline and in high-temperature super alloys used for jet engine components. http: //minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/commodity/rhenium/ Jet engine turbines operate for extended time periods at temperatures above 1100 degrees C. The addition of rhenium helps ensure the metals in the turbines keep their strength at very high temperatures. (Copper, for example, would be liquid at these temperatures.) Turbine blades have typically contained about 3% rheniu m. The newest generation contains about 1.5% rhenium. Aircraft engine manufactur ers have been trying to reduce the amount of rhenium in engines, because worldwi de demand for the metal is in danger of outpacing supply. Rhenium is widely used as filaments for mass spectrographs. Rhenium is also used as an electrical cont act material. Rhenium catalysts are exceptionally resistant to poisoning from ni trogen, sulfur and phosphorous and are useful in the hydrogenation of fine chemi cals. http://www.chemicool.com/elements/rhenium.html Rhenium's uniqueness is its high melting point (3,180 C) and high density (21.04 g /cc). Products from rhenium can be thermally cycled thousands of times with no e ffects. http://www.rhenium.com/education.htm Although testing and assaying results to date indicate the El Dorado Mine holds significant quantities of gold, the El Dorado Mine has significant other potenti al. The claims are uniquely situated near one of the few currently operational r are earth elements (REE) mines in the U.S., and in limited testing, it has been

determined that the El Dorado Mine also contains REE. Commercial ore values are likely located on each of the seventeen (17) contiguous BLM lode claims, known a s the El Dorado #1 through #12, and the King of California #1 through #5, which comprises the El Dorado Mine. The claims are proximate to existing roads, and ar e anticipated to be simple to access, mine, and process due to the near-surface ore deposit. The values are contained in an intrusive and massive Rhyolitic host rock structure lying at or very near the surface, below a very thin basaltic ca p, holding significant values based on testing and assaying to date, including t he Platinum Group Metals (PGM's), Gold (Au), and Rhenium (Re). The El Dorado Mine ore body has been opened and exposed using dozer cut methods to expose a three dimensional picture of the deposit. An assessment of values in a 2009 report indicates extremely robust project economics based on a very larg e deposit of easily mined head ore containing very significant values of easily extractable precious metals and, as yet unknown quantities of rare earths. The p ossible tonnage of commercial grade ore which could be mined from the existing s eventeen (17) El Dorado Mine claims could potentially exceed four hundred millio n (400,000,000) tons. It is likely that the ore can be mined using conventional methods (open pit mining), requiring no underground tunneling or extensive under ground networks, while several of the Platinum Group Metals (PGM's), plus Gold ( Au) and Rhenium (Re), should be easily and profitably extractable, utilizing ind ustry standard methods. About Mission Mining Company: Mission Mining Company focuses on the acquisition and development of significant US gold, silver, platinum group metals, and rare earths mining properties pursu ant to its business plan of expeditiously and prudently developing the owned / l eased mining properties and placing them into full production. The Company has r ecently executed a mining / operating lease for the El Dorado mining property in San Bernardino County, California, and has acquired 100.0% ownership of the Gol d Star mining property in Esmeralda County, Nevada. Historical geological report s on the two properties indicate substantial values in gold, silver, platinum gr oup metals (PGM's), and likely substantial but as yet untested amounts of rare e arth elements (REE). As an important step in its mine development strategy, the Company plans to conduct additional, extensive, third party testing to be conduc ted by qualified and certified geologists, mining engineers, and assayers in res pect of each of its mining properties so as to verify, validate, and clarify pub lished in-ground resource quantities and values as stated in the existing / hist orical test reports, assays, and valuation reports. Management's commitment to r estructure the Company on behalf of its shareholders, as evidenced by the decisi on to focus on the acquisition and development of suitable US precious metals an d rare earth mining properties represents a timely and prudent business opportun ity, as the saleable products will not become obsolete, and there will always be a significant demand and liquid market for the metals / rare earths produced. A s a result of the acquisition of the El Dorado Mine and the Gold Star Mine, the Company has significantly increased its total booked assets under GAAP, as refle cted in its financial statements now on file with OTC Markets.
