MBMI ANNOUNCES DIRECTOR APPOINTMENT

MBMI Resources Inc. has appointed, subject to regulatory approval, Kelly Kim Weng Tong to its board of directors.

Mr. Tong was born in Malaysia. He holds a bachelor of arts (honours) in political science and a master of public policy from Victoria University in New Zealand. He was a former senior officer in the New Zealand Trade Department and travelled overseas extensively, representing the New Zealand government in trade talks.

After leaving the public service and over the years, Mr. Tong served in various capacities as an adviser for high-net-worth individuals and also worked in the private sector, principally involved in advisory and business development in a variety of services and products. He held senior general management roles in New Zealand, Australian and U.S. companies and has developed useful and close business contacts in the Asia and Pacific region.

Mr. Tong has working experience in the public and private sectors. He has also been involved in business takeovers, advisory for start-ups, fundraising, and mergers and acquisitions. He was a key member of a consulting team that worked with Chinese companies, helping them go public in Singapore, Korea and Frankfurt.

Mr. Tong was also involved in advising and sourcing mineral resources for his clients -- in particular, coal and iron ore supplies.

Being a former New Zealand trade official, Mr. Tong understands market dynamics, identifying areas of weakness and formulating and implementing appropriate solutions.

Mr. Tong was a former director of a Hong Kong-listed company, Harmony Asset Ltd., having served on its board for 17 years. He was also a member of the audit committee of that company.

Joseph Chan, interim chief executive officer of MBMI, stated, "I look forward to drawing upon Mr. Tong's wealth of public company experience as MBMI plans and executes its strategy in the coming years."

We seek Safe Harbor.
