| Moly Mines Company Update |
| TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - May 19, 2009) - NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO US NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES Moly Mines Limited (TSX:MOL)(ASX:MOL) is pleased to provide a Company update including outstanding Fe drill results received, maiden resource calculation being finalized and the appointment of Mr. David Craig as Chairman. Spinifex Ridge Iron Ore Results from the March 2009 infill drill programs have been received. Significant results include: - 40m @ 62% Fe from 37m - 62m @ 63% Fe from 3m; including 14m @ 67% Fe from 24m - 40m @ 64% Fe from 2m - 46m @ 63% Fe from 41m; including 11m @ 66% Fe from 58m - 41m @ 62% Fe from 37m - 43m @ 62% Fe from 3m; including 13m @ 65% Fe from 21m These results are derived from a 27 hole RC drill program for 2,209m drilled to an average depth of 82m - refer Table 1. The drilling was spread across 3 of the 4 prospects - Auton, Auton North East and Gallifrey, all of which occur on the Spinifex Ridge mining leases. The majority of the drilling was targeted into the Auton North East prospect to expand and close off the mineralisation, with some further infill completed into the Auton and Gallifrey prospects. This program completes the majority of the RC drilling required to finalize a maiden Iron Resource estimate on these small but rich iron occurrences. The Company s senior engineers and technical personnel are now fast-tracking detailed studies for mining and exploiting this material as Direct Shipping Ore (DSO). These studies are initially targeting a 1 million tonne per annum operation, and currently, advanced discussions are underway with parties interested in assisting with and/or purchasing the production. Spinifex Ridge s location is a major advantage with it being within easy trucking distance over paved roads from the major iron ore exporting infrastructure at Port Hedland.
