TORONTO, Jul 11, 2008 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX News Network) --

/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN

THE UNITED STATES./

Cline Mining Corporation ("Cline" or the "Company") (TSX:CMK) is pleased to announce that is has completed the follow-up drill program on the 88-60 and 07-10 gold bearing zones on its Cline Gold Project located near Wawa, Ontario, Canada. The Cline Gold Project is located along the Goudreau Lake Deformation Zone, a major, regional gold-bearing, structure and is situated approximately 5 kilometers east of the Island Gold Mine operated by Richmont Mines Ltd (TSX:RIC,AMEX:RIC) and Patricia Gold Mines (TSX:PAT).

Follow-up Drill Program on the 88-60 and 07-10 Zones

In late 2007 a follow-up diamond drill program commenced to further define and attempt to expand the 88-60 and 07-10 Zones (see Press Release dated April 24th, 2008). This drill program was completed earlier this month. Twenty four (24) holes totalling approximately 3637 meters were drilled to test the 88-60 and Lake Porphyry Zones while fourteen (14) holes totalling approximately 3225 meters were designed to test the 07-10 Zone and the nearby Number 3 Shaft Zone.

Significant assay results received since the April 24th, 2008 news release are given in the table below.

Infill Sampling Program

As mentioned in the April 24th, 2008 press release Cline has also begun infill sampling of the drill core in and around the known gold intercepts. Material change(s), received to date, from the original assay results include: 12.02 gpt Au over 5.9 meters from CL 08-36 (original interval split returned 14.22 gpt Au over 0.61 meters).

Cline is still awaiting assay results from over 400 infill samples as well as ~250 samples from the nine most recently drilled holes.

Sample Preparation, Analyses and Security

The aforementioned assay and sample information as well as geological descriptions are taken from drill logs as prepared by the project geologists for the drill program. All drill cores are BQ in size and assays are completed on split half-cores, with the second half of the core kept for future reference. The samples are put into rice bags which are sealed with security locks for shipping directly to Swastika Laboratories, an accredited assay laboratory, in Swastika, Ontario. The samples are analysed using standard fire assay procedures with an AA finish. In addition to the standard quality control of the laboratory, a series of blanks and standards are inserted in every shipment for quality control purposes.
