LIBONA, BUKIDNON, PHILIPPINES -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 01/14/10

PEARL Asian Mining (PINKSHEETS: ZNXT) (PINKSHEETS: ZNXPP) announces that the Company diverted the mobilization and fast tracking of its small scale mining operations to produce immediate gold, thus capitalizing on the surging gold price as it continues to rise over $1,000 an ounce, as a result of the December 23, 2009 Board Meeting.

During the breakthroughs in funding, mine permitting and the imminent settlement with the SEC Allegations against the former Management's actions, PEARL Asian's Board implemented the immediate mobilization of its small scale mining operations. The Board approved the transfer of all the needed mining equipment to the Compostela Valley Gold Project and the re-opening of its Gango Gold processing plant, to take effect soon after the addition of its copper floatation enhancement unit. These business strategic moves can immediately re-generate gold revenues beginning the 1st Quarter of 2010, which will far exceed the past gold recoveries. The target is a one (1) Kilogram of gold per month which can be harvested during this first quarter transition period to increase, thereafter. Below is a very conservative "2010 Gold Revenue Projection" based from the October, 2009 price of $1,000.00 an ounce.
