=======================================================================

TORONTO -- May 26 2009 - Tiomin Resources Inc. ("Tiomin" or the
"Company") held its annual meeting of shareholders today.  The
Company's present Board of Directors was re-elected by a significant
majority of shares voted, giving the Board and Management team a strong
mandate to move forward. During the meeting, Tiomin's President & CEO,
Robert Jackson, outlined the company's accomplishments for 2008, its
evolving corporate strategy, as well as its focus for 2009.

"We are firmly focused on long-term value creation at Tiomin, and are
executing on a strategy that couples seeking an accretive transaction
with realizing returns on our current projects and investments," said
Mr. Jackson.

"This is probably the most critical year for our company.  We have a
clear sense of urgency, and notwithstanding the global economic issues
and decreased commodity prices of late, we will move this company
forward. We continue to seek a company-making transaction.  We expect
to continue to advance or terminate our current projects, and we expect
to keep adequate cash reserves on hand to provide us with the financial
flexibility we require," continued Mr. Jackson.
