Press Release Regarding Mining Operations in Brazil

A Brazilian subsidiary of Ardent Mines Limited (the “Company”) has executed an agreement granting the Company an exclusive option to acquire mineral rights in the Carajas Mineral Province in the State of Para, Brazil. Pursuant to this Exclusive Option Agreement, the Company will commence due diligence regarding this property.  The Company has agreed to initially acquire a 70% interest, and eventually the totality of the mineral rights, after confirmation of mineral resources upon the execution of an initial exploration campaign that the Company estimates will take between 12 to 18 months to complete. The Company anticipates that it will invest between $5 million and $10 million in such initial exploration campaign, which the Company plans to commence shortly after the mineral rights are transferred to the Company's Brazilian subsidiary.
