SETTLEMENT OF LITIGATION WITH WITS BASIN

London Mining has reached a settlement agreement with Wits Basin Precious Minerals, Inc. regarding previously disclosed litigation between the companies pertaining to their joint venture company, China Global Mining Resources (BVI) Limited (CGMR).  Under the terms of the settlement arrangements, the parties have agreed to dismiss all claims against each other and end their joint venture relationship.  Both companies have agreed to a mutual, unconditional, full and final release of any and all claims between them, no cash is payable by either party to the other and London Mining has agreed to transfer its interest in CGMR to Wits Basin.

London Mining has previously written the asset down to zero value.  The asset has been subject to various claims on it by local Chinese parties, and the termination of the joint venture with Wits Basin with no further obligations or liabilities allows London Mining to focus on its core assets, save on legal costs and bring an end to litigation on an asset that the Company believes has no value.
