Capital
Inc. announce the filing of the Company's financial results for the

Company Highlights
The Company continues to be focused on the renewal of the business
license and advancing the technical and environmental studies as well
as the community relations work for the Maoling Gold Project
("Maoling"). Although there has been a long delay in renewing the
business license of Tianli, the Company's joint venture company in
China, management continues to believe the strategy undertaken of
engagement and building awareness with a wide range of government
agencies and organizations in order to resolve the issue, will provide
a positive outcome. The technical merits of Maoling are well
documented in the Pre-feasibility Study completed in 2005 and have been
supplemented with the work completed for the Feasibility Study and the
preparatory material for the completion of a full Environmental and
Social Impact Assessment ("ESIA"). The Company continues to advocate
the benefits of development of a modern mine at Maoling which will
serve as a showcase in modern mine management methods including
environmental protection.
In order to show the commitment Mundoro has to the surrounding area of
Maoling and its small rural communities, the Company developed a
comprehensive community development program to complement existing
efforts within the community and region by facilitating further
development of local infrastructure and economic advancement including
basic sanitation, the provision of fresh water, local medical service
improvements, as well as assistance in scholastic and professional
development. Mundoro has committed RMB 1.2 million, to be spent over a
three year period to fund educational, health and sanitation
development in Gaizhou County.
To augment the corporate strategy of developing Maoling, Mundoro
undertook a plan of arrangement in the quarter which was approved at
the Company's Annual General and Special Meeting on April 11, 2008. As
a result of the completion of the plan of arrangement on April 16,
2008, Mundoro Mining became a wholly owned subsidiary of a newly formed
entity, Mundoro Capital Inc., which is now trading on the Toronto Stock
Exchange under the ticker symbol "MUN". Mundoro Capital will carry on
the business of a mineral exploration, development and investment
company. The ownership of Mundoro Mining as a wholly-owned subsidiary
remains the largest and key asset of Mundoro Capital which will
continue with the business strategy of Mundoro Mining to develop the
Maoling Gold Project. Mundoro Capital will also evaluate and invest in
resource assets or companies in the natural resources field, which can
create value for Mundoro Capital and its shareholders, using
management's years of specialized experience in the capital markets
focused on evaluating exploration and production assets, resource
investment opportunities and structuring unique transactions for
investments in the resource sector.
About Mundoro Mining Inc.
Mundoro MIning is a resource company focused on the exploration and
development of one of the world's top gold deposits, the Maoling Gold
Project. Mundoro Mining has a 79% interest in Maoling through a
Sino-Foreign co-operative joint venture with the corporate arm of the
Liaoning provincial government which owns 21% interest.
Maoling is a feasibility stage gold deposit located in Liaoning
Province, China and is China's largest single, gold resource deposit
with 4.8 million contained gold ounces in the Measured and Indicated
category and an additional 4.4 million contained gold ounces in the
Inferred category. Mundoro Mining has outlined a Reserve of 2.8
million ounces in the Probable category which was the basis for the
Pre-Feasibility Study. Thus far, two deposits that outcrop at surface
have been outlined at Maoling in which disseminated, free-milling gold
mineralization occurs within a sequence of metasedimentary rocks.
The renewal of the exploration license for Maoling has been deferred
since November 2005 pending the renewal of a business license for
Mundoro Mining's joint venture company, Liaoning Tianli Mining Company
Ltd. Mundoro Mining and its partner, Liaoning Aidi Resources Company
Limited, have undertaken a strategy of engagement and building
awareness with a wide range of government agencies in order to resolve
the issue.
