Mabwe Minerals Inc. is in the final phase of selecting their mining partner with the intent to start staging barite at Dodge Mine by the end of the third quarter. Having already secured a delivery port pad with Cornelder at the Port of Beira, the company is finalizing a unique transportation program, to be announced shortly, providing dual transportation options expanding the company's flexibility to increase annual tonnage and ensuring a continuous flow of barite by both truck and rail wagon to the Port of Beira. Mabwe Minerals Inc. intends on developing and commercializing the Dodge Mine assets with known deposits of high grade barite, limestone and talc along with documented widespread occurrences of undeveloped gossan deposits, massive sulfide deposits that typically indicate the presence of copper, gold, nickel and lead. The presence of gold in gossan deposits are indications of gold in the host bedrock.

Al Pietrangelo, President & CEO of both publicly traded companies commented, "With TAG Minerals Inc. transitioned to focus on alluvial surface gold revenue and Mabwe Minerals Inc. created to focus on the assets of Dodge Mine with first focus on barite revenue, we have completed our initial corporate objective to diversify our revenue base to reward our greatest asset, our shareholders. As we transition into the new Mabwe Minerals Inc. stock symbol: (MBMI) in the coming weeks, we look forward to unfolding our story line as we anticipate beginning gold production this quarter and expect to begin barite shipments in the 1st quarter, 2013."
