Liberty Begins Pre-Production at the McWatters Nickel Mine (ccnm)

EDMONTON, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Sept. 15, 2008) - Liberty Mines Inc. ("Liberty or the Corporation") (TSX:LBE) is pleased to announce that pre-production has commenced at the McWatters nickel mine from the 65m level.

-Development of the sills from the upper levels at 65m and 100m while the ramp is continued to the 130m level will provide 200-600 tonnes per day ("t/d") of pre-production ore with an average of 400 t/d during the fourth quarter ("Q4") of 2008.

-Production from the mine will increase up to 1400 t/d in Q1 2009.

-By early Q2 2009, production may be increased to 1600-1700 t/d as the ore body can be mined at a higher production rate using long hole stoping.

-Ore will be concentrated at Liberty's Redstone nickel concentrator, located 9.5 km west at the Redstone Mine site.
