September 9, 2010, Vancouver, British Columbia: Premium Exploration Inc. (TSX-V:PEM) (“Premium” or the “Company”) clarifies their position with SNS Precious Metals Ltd.

In February 2009, Premium entered two Letters of Intent with Clearwater Mining Corporation (“CMC”) and SNS Silver Corp. (“SNS”, now SNS Precious Metals Corp.). Under the terms of the LOI’s, the Companies had 90 days to complete a Definitive Agreement and SNS would have been allowed to earn in to a maximum of 50% by advancing financing, and paying in cash and stock, certain exploration and development costs to develop Premium’s Friday/Petsite and Buffalo Gulch properties.

SNS initially paid Premium $125,000 in advance on each Letter of Intent and in the event that a Definitive Agreement was not reached, Premium would be obligated to return $200,000 to SNS ($100,000 for each LOI). The time required to complete a Definitive Agreement lapsed and the ability of SNS to participate in negotiations was impeded due to the situation in Silver Valley, Idaho. Accordingly, Premium initiated a private placement and raised gross proceeds of $673,900 through the offering of 6,739,000 units at a price of $0.10 per unit in order to continue the orderly development of their Central Idaho properties.

Although the LOI’s indicated that a payment of $200,000 was required, due to a potentially contested claim by SNS, Management and Directors felt that it would be in the best interest of Premium shareholders to repay the entire amount. In June 2009, the Directors and Management of the Company made the decision to return the entire amount initially advanced by paying back to SNS, half of the proceeds in cash ($125,000) and half in shares (625,000 @ $0.20 per share), and the Company entered into a settlement arrangement to that effect with SNS on or about November 6, 2009. The shares were issued on November 10, 2009 and the resale restrictions for those shares expired on March 10, 2010. While this news release was required to be previously issued it was not done at that time, so this release therefore clarifies the Company’s position with SNS.

SNS and Premium had a common director in Del Steiner, President & Director of Premium Exploration. Mr. Steiner resigned from his position as Director with SNS on July 13, 2010.
