NVMN Signs New Agreements on South American Gold & Diamond Mining Venture

MARCELLUS, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Nova Mining Corp. NVMN announced today that the Company has extended the Option Agreement with Natural Resources Recovery Guyana (NRRG) regarding the five diamond, gold and timber harvesting concessions totaling 2,567 hectares (6,000 acres) in Northeastern Guyana, South America. Recent geological reports supplied by NRRG during the Due Diligence have shown a significant presence of diamonds on the concessions. The concessions are located in the Upper Cuyuni Basin - Greenstone Belt, Guyana, between the country's border with Brazil and Venezuela. All permitting and mining licenses have been secured from the Guyana Mining Commission and verified by a Guyana-based law firm specializing in mineral rights.

Subject to affirming the assertions by NRRG, Nova Mining management believes that acquiring an interest in NRGG's Guyana concessions could prove to be a very lucrative move for the Company. Under the Agreement, both parties are to negotiate, in good faith, an Investment and Profit Sharing Agreement (IPSA) related to the concessions.

Nova Mining Corp. (NVMN) strongly believes that current market conditions are extremely favorable for diamond prices and sales due to the new significant demand being placed on the existing worldwide diamond supply. New manufacturing methods requiring superior cutting materials, the need for more diamond tipped oil drilling bits and rapidly rising demand in Asia resulted in a staggering price increase of 49% in the first half of 2011, accelerating after two years of 30% annual growth. Due to these steadily increasing market trends, the Company is initially focusing on diamonds, but is also looking to build a mining asset portfolio that contains lithium, copper and gold resources.
