Vancouver - Vendetta Mining Corp. (TSXV: VTT) ('Vendetta' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement to acquire 100% of the Killer Bore exploration concession 5 km from the Companies 100% owned Pegmont Lead-Zinc project in Queensland, Australia.

Michael Williams President and CEO commented, 'Our interest in the Killer Bore tenement is driven by the proven exploration model we have used at Pegmont. It is our contention that the mineralisation intersected in the historic drilling at Killer Bore represents the distal part of the Pegmont mineralising system, which is zinc dominant, with copper, little to no lead and within pyrrhotite iron formations. If this is shown to be correct it highlights the scale of the Pegmont system and could provide high grade mineralisation that could be incorporated into the development plan for Pegmont. The tenement is located adjacent to public roads and is easily accessible, allowing the Company to continue with its highly efficient and cost-effective drilling programs. We would like to thank Sandfire Resources, a leading Australian Copper producer, for working with us on this acquisition.' Killer Bore Historic Exploration Summary

Unlike Pegmont where mineralisation is outcropping, Killer Bore has approximately 10 to 20 m of cover, for this reason historic exploration has been driven by geophysics, surveys completed included: airborne magnetics and GEOTEM. Ground TEM, ground magnetics and gravity. These surveys were followed up by previous operators using wide spaced basement geochemical sampling using shallow vertical rotary air blast (RAB) or air core (AC) drilling. Geochemical targets where then prioritised and some were followed up by deeper diamond and RC drilling.

The first significant intersections on Killer Bore were by BHP in 2000, percussion hole ANP418 intersected 4 m @ 8.97% Zn and 0.51% Cu (80 to 84 m down hole). This was later twinned with diamond core hole AND041 which intersected 3 m at 15.44% Zn and 0.25% Cu (91 and 94 m down hole), mineralisation was described as being composed of massive sphalerite and pyrrhotite. Other notable exploration results included diamond core holes AND044 with 12 m @ 1.28% Zn (174 to 186 m) and AND053 with 5 m @ 1.31% Zn (273 to 278 m) and 4 m @ 1.15% Zn (294 to 298 m).

In 2000 North Ltd. drilled a magnetic feature with TGRC39 intersected 8m @ 3.1% Zn, within 20 m of 1.61% Zn. This intersection was followed up in 2001 by Rio Tinto Exploration Ltd. who drilled one diamond hole, DDH01KB001, approximately 70 m along strike and 40 m down dip of the TGRC39 intersection. DDH01KB001 intersected a wide zone of pyrrhotite between 75 and 235 m, within which 4 m @ 10% Zn, 0.2 % Pb (108 and 112 m down hole) was intersected. Zinc mineralisation was described as coarse grained banded to massive sphalerite. Open file reports indicate the hole was drilled perpendicular to the dominant foliation and mineralisation. Other thinner and lower grade intersections within the pyrrhotite interval included 1.5 m of 3.29% Zn, 0.27% Cu (294 to 298 m) and 1.45 m of 1.55% Zn, 0.45% Cu (294 to 298 m).

Material Terms of the Acquisition

Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement, Sandfire has granted Vendetta the option to acquire a 100% direct interest in the Killer Bore EPM 27005 through the direct acquisition of the Property by making following minimum work commitments (all dollar amounts are Australian dollars): $102,000 on exploration expenditures prior to the end of the 2nd Anniversary and $500,000 on exploration expenditure between the start of the 3rd anniversary and prior to the end of the 5th Anniversary; Vendetta shall also grant Sandfire Resources a 2% Net Smelter Returns Royalty over the Property.

Notes Historic Drilling

The drill data presented in this news release has been prepared from annual exploration reports submitted to the Queensland Government which are now open file. The data presented in this news release, including collar locations is historical and will require verification. Past quality control measures are largely not documented in these exploration reports.
