TORONTO, Jan. 5, 2011 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX News Network) --

TSX Venture Exchange Symbol: NWM Shares Outstanding: 341,100,093

NWM Mining Corporation (the "Company") is pleased to announce that the "Trading Target" for the outstanding share purchase warrants issued following private placements that closed in September and October of 2009, normally expiring in September and October of 2011, has been achieved. Under the terms of the warrants, the Trading Target is achieved when the volume weighted average closing price of the Company's common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange is at or greater than $0.12 per share for any period of 20 consecutive trading days and it was achieved on the close of trading on December 29, 2010.

After the Trading Target has been achieved the Company may accelerate the expiry time of the warrants to the day that is 30 days from the date the Company provides a notice to the warrant holders at their last advised address. The Company sent notices to all 74 remaining warrant holders so affected on January 4, 2011. The notice will be effective after 10 business days, which is January 18, 2011. The warrant holders will thus have 30 calendar days from that effective date, until February 17, 2011, to exercise their warrants. Any warrants not so exercised will expire.

There is a total of 55,445,500 warrants that are still outstanding and exercisable at a price of $0.10 each to acquire one common share of the Company per warrant under this accelerated expiry. The total possible value to the Company if all warrants are exercised is $5,544,550.
