Baja Mining Reports Waiver to Standstill Agreement
Vancouver, August 24, 2012 �C Baja Mining Corp. (��Baja��) (TSX: BAJ - OTCQX: BAJFF) today announced that the lenders to its 70% owned subsidiary, Minera y Metal��rgica del Boleo S.A. de C.V. (��MMB��) have agreed to a waiver to the second standstill agreement (as described in Baja��s news release of August 7, 2012).
The new standstill agreement requires the Korean Consortium to complete Stage I financing by August 27, 2012.
The Korean Consortium has advanced approximately US$73.5 million of the total US$90 million of Stage I financing, which is sufficient to trigger the reduction in Baja��s interest in MMB from 70% to 49% (as described in Baja��s news release of July 26, 2012). However the formalities required to transfer the shares and transfer control have not yet been completed.
For further information please contact Baja��s Interim CEO Tom Ogryzlo at 604�\685�\2323 or via email info@bajamining.com.
