Hunt Mining Corp. Drilling Continues to Intersect Strong Precious Metal Mineralization at La Josefina, Santa Cruz, Argentina


LIBERTY LAKE, WASHINGTON--(Marketwire - July 26, 2011) - Hunt Mining Corp. (the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:HMX) is pleased to announce the latest drill results from the Veta Sur Shoot located at the south end of the Veta Norte Zone on the La Josefina Project in Santa Cruz province, Argentina. Step-out drilling continues at the La Josefina Project to assist in defining new areas of mineralization.

The results of this latest drilling continue to confirm both continuity and extension to the strong precious and base metal mineralization previously delineated at the Veta Sur Shoot. A total of ten (10) holes have been drilled at Veta Sur in 2011, with five (5) of the first seven (7) holes returning mineralized intervals. Highlights from these holes include:

Hole SVN-D11-312:

* 6.2 meters true width (20.3 feet) of 4.47 g/t gold, 573 g/t silver, 1% Copper and 13% lead, including
* 2.6 meters of 5.85 g/t gold and 538.39 g/t silver and
* 1.9 meters of 5.62 g/t gold and 1102.20 g/t silver

Hole SVN-D11-314:

* 2.4 meters true width (7.8 feet) of 7.34 g/t gold, 65.62 g/t silver, including
* 1.00 meters of 16.91 g/t gold and 137.35 g/t silver

Gold and silver grades returned for other recent Veta Norte holes not cited above (SVN-D11-309, 310, 311, 313, and 318) range from below detection limit (< 0.01 g/t Au) to 3.18 g/t gold and 205g/t silver.
A table with all 2011 drill results can be viewed at www.huntmining.com.

Notes:

* True widths reported above are considered to be approximately 95% of the actual drill hole intercept widths based on angled orientation of drill holes, measured strike and dip of mineralized structures and cross-section analysis.
* All drilling has been conducted in accordance with standard industry practices.
* All samples are being prepared and assayed by Alex Stewart Laboratories in Mendoza, Argentina.
* An analysis of the Corporation's QA/QC practices are reviewed in detail in the Corporation's current Technical Report in respect of the La Josefina Project, which is available at www.sedar.com.

Such forward-looking information is based on a number of assumptions, including but not limited to, the availability of financing, no significant decline in existing general business and economic conditions, the level and volatility of the price of gold, the accuracy of the Corporation's resource estimates and of the geological, metallurgical, price and other assumptions on which the estimates are based. Should one or more risks and uncertainties materialize or should any assumptions prove incorrect, then actual results could vary materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking information and accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this forward-looking information.
