Company Highlights
Corporate Restructuring
The Company completed the plan of arrangement which was approved at the
Company's Annual General and Special Meeting on April 11, 2008. As a
result on April 16, 2008, Mundoro Mining Inc. ("MMI") became a wholly
owned subsidiary of the newly formed, Mundoro Capital Inc., which
immediately began trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the
ticker symbol "MUN".
The Company owns 100% interest in MMI, which remains a key asset of
Mundoro Capital. MMI's sole focus is the development of the Maoling
Gold Project ("Maoling") located in Liaoning Province, China. The
resource at Maoling stands at 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. Maoling has a Reserve of 2.8
million ounces in the Probable category was the basis for the 2005
Pre-Feasibility Study. MMI is working diligently with Chinese agencies
and enterprises to achieve renewal of the joint venture company's
business license.
Future Investments
The Company has been actively evaluating new investments in resource
assets and companies in the natural resources field, which can create
value for Mundoro Capital and its shareholders, using management's
specialized experience focused on the resource sector in the capital
markets. Management believes the current market cycle for resource
assets and equities is attractive for investment and as such has been
evaluating a number of resource investment opportunities.
Share Repurchase Program
On May 27, 2008, the Company issued a press release announcing its
intention to make a Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB") to buy back a
maximum of 1,933,203 common shares ("Common Shares") for cancellation
through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"). In the
opinion of the board of directors of the Company, its common shares
have been trading at prices that do not reflect the underlying value of
its strong financial position, the fundamental value of Maoling and
future growth opportunities. Mundoro believes purchasing back its
Common Shares represents an opportunity to enhance value for its
shareholders.
Maoling Progress Update
Work on the Feasibility Study for Maoling has been substantially
completed apart from some fieldwork and final cost estimation that
awaits the business license renewal. Because of the delays in the
renewal of Tianli's business license, certain portions of the
feasibility study, such as geotechnical drilling for the final pit
slope design in Zone 1 and final Chinese cost estimations, cannot be
completed at this stage. It is anticipated that once the joint venture
company's business license has been renewed, the remaining engineering
work needed to produce a National Instruments 43-101 compliant
feasibility study and a full Environmental Social Impact Assessment for
Maoling will be completed.

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 one of China's largest gold resource deposits 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.
Investors are encouraged to review 'Risk Factors' associated with the
Maoling project as outlined in the Company's prospectus documents and
other regulatory filings, available on the SEDAR website at
www.sedar.com.
The pre-feasibility described herein was prepared to broadly quantify
the Maoling Zone 1 deposit's capital and operating cost parameters, and
to further the development of the project. It was not prepared for use
as a valuation of the deposits, nor should it be considered to be a
final feasibility study. The information contained in the Study
reflects various technical and economic conditions at the time of
writing that can change significantly over relatively short periods of
time. There can be no assurance that the potential results contained in
the Study will be realized. The study was prepared by AMEC Americas
Ltd. under the direction and oversight of Mr. Mark Pearson P.Eng. of
Vancouver, BC, an 'Independent Qualified Person' as defined by National
Instrument 43-101. Resource estimation for the Zone 1 area in 2006 was
carried out in the Brisbane, Australia office of Golder Associates Pty
Limited, an international earth sciences consulting group under the
direction and oversight of Dr. Andrew Richmond, MAusIMM, an
'Independent Qualified Person' as defined by NI43-101. NI43-101
compliant technical reports for the pre-feasibility study and all
reserve and resource estimates have been filed on the SEDAR website at
www.sedar.com.
