Hunt Mining Corp.: Drilling Intersects More High Grade Gold at La Josefina

LIBERTY LAKE, WASHINGTON--(Marketwire - March 22, 2011) - Hunt Mining Corp. (the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:HMX) is pleased to announce results from the ongoing diamond drilling program at the La Josefina Project in Santa Cruz province, Argentina. Results continue to come in from the Veta Ailin structure located in the Central Zone of La Josefina. This structure had limited historic drill testing and was not considered in the current La Josefina National Instrument 43-101 resource estimations. Recently received assays from the 2011 drill program have confirmed, and expanded, the occurrence of high-grade gold, silver, and base-metal mineralization along a 200 meter stretch of the Veta Ailin structure. Eight of the eleven drill holes being reported in this news release cut significant precious and/or base metal mineralization (table 1). The best interval was from hole SC-D11-255, with a true mineralized width of: 1.94 meters grading 135.31 g/t (grams/tonne) gold, 39.72 g/t silver and 6.51% lead Including: 0.47 meters of 206.08 g/t gold, 89.40 g/t silver and 4.0 % lead. 0.52 meters of 97.64 g/t gold, 20.90 g/t silver and 1.7% lead. 0.50 meters of 228.01 g/t gold, 47.10 g/t silver and 6.1% lead. Hole SC-D11-252 included a true mineralized width of: 3.00 meters grading 7.14 g/t gold, 133.44 g/t silver 6.67% lead and 1.16% copper Including: 0.48 meters of 0.26 g/t gold, 580.00 g/t silver, 2.1% copper and 30.0% lead 0.52 meters of 27.20 g/t gold, 42.10 g/t silver, 1.3% copper and 1.0% lead Hole SC-D11-258 included a true mineralized width of: 2.85 meters grading 2.38 g/t gold, 178.65 g/t silver and 25.18% lead Including: 0.43 meters of 1.44 g/t gold, 729.00 g/t silver, and 26.8% lead 0.48 meters of 3.73 g/t gold, 253.00 g/t silver, and 24.8% lead 0.48 meters of 9.08 g/t gold, 53.70 g/t silver, and 13.9% lead The current drill campaign is planned to comprise 12,000 meters of HQ and NQ diamond core drilling on the Corporation's La Josefina and El Gateado projects. The La Josefina drilling program has been designed to increase the current resource base by offsetting historic drill holes that were excluded from the current NI43-101 resource and drilling step out holes on the five identified ore shoots that remain open to expansion. In addition, the Corporation will drill test portions of the more than 15 kilometers of exposed mineralized structures that remain undrilled. At El Gateado, 2,000 meters of core drilling is planned to offset and expand a mineralized zone identified during a 2006 drilling campaign where hole GAT-DDH-001 intersected 11.3 meters (estimated to be true width) of 3.65 g/t gold. The Corporation's management is very pleased with the continued high grade drill results on Veta Ailin and optimistic that they will significantly expand and upgrade the current resource base at La Josefina.

Such forward looking-information is based on current expectations that involve a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking information. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking information include, but are not limited to, failure to establish estimated resources, the grade and recovery of ore which is mined varying from estimates, capital and operating costs varying significantly from estimates, delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required governmental, environmental or other project approvals, inflation, changes in exchange rates, fluctuations in commodity prices, delays in the development of projects, uncertainties relating to the interpretation of the geology, continuity, grade and size estimates of mineral resources and unanticipated operational or technical difficulties and other factors. Such forward-looking information are 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.
