("MBMI" or the "Company") (TSX-V: MBR)  wishes to provide an update of operations of the Company with regards to the Alpha Nickel project in Palawan, Philippines. A total of 99,000 dry metric tonnes of laterite nickel material at an average grade of 1.85% Nickel have been sold and shipped to China and Japan during the calendar year to date.

The full scale mine permit application process continues for all four of the Palawan nickel projects. Management is encouraged with the progress made by our Philippine partners to secure these permits, as well as the strong municipal and provincial support that has been generated for the projects.

Approximately 1,000 check assay samples taken from the Alpha and Bethlehem properties have been delivered to an accredited laboratory in Australia for assay result confirmation purposes; the data will be utilized in estimating initial resources in accordance with CIM classifications pursuant to National Instrument 43-101.
