TSX-V:AVT

VANCOUVER, Aug. 31 /CNW/ - Avanti Mining Inc. (TSX-V: AVT) ("Avanti" or the "Company") There was a typographical error in the press release dated August 31, 2010 in which the historical resource at the Bell Moly deposit of 96.4 million tonnes was stated to have a grade of 0.54% instead of 0.054%. The corrected press release is as follows:

Avanti reported a net loss of $2.6 million ($0.01 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to a net loss of $2.8 million ($0.03 per share) for the comparable period in 2009. In addition the Company deferred $3.9 million (2009 - $2.5 million) relating to the development costs of the Kitsault property. The Company had a cash balance of $13.4 million on hand as at June 30, 2010.

Kitsault update:

Technical

    
    -   The final feasibility being prepared by AMEC is on schedule for
        completion by end of October 2010 and will incorporate the US$50 to
        US$70 million reduction in the initial capital expenditures in the
        tailing facility as well as other expected improvements from the pre-
        feasibility study of 2009.
    -   Approximately 90% of the core from old drilling at the Bell Moly
        deposit has been recovered and is being re logged and re assayed.
        This deposit has historical unclassified resource of 96.4 million
        tonnes grading 0.054% molybdenum.(1)
    -   Several of the drill hole collars at the Roundy Creek deposit have
        been located and the Company plans a confirmatory drill program this
        year to twin some of these holes.

    (1) Note: Historic resource estimates do not comply with the CIM
        terminology under Canadian Securities Administrators NI 43-101
        guidelines. The reader is cautioned that these estimates are not
        mineral reserves and should not be relied upon.
    

Environmental

    
    -   The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency ("CEAA") has accepted
        effective August 18, 2010 the addendum to the Kitsault Project
        Description filed with the British Columbia Environmental Office
        ("BCEAO"). This acceptance will result in a Notice of Commencement
        (NoC) to be issued by CEAA within 90 days of August 18, 2010.
    -   BCEAO has circulated a draft section 11 order under the Environmental
        Assessment Act for comment by all interested parties.
    -   The draft Application Information Requirement ("dAIR") document will
        be filed with the BCEAO shortly.
    

Financing

    
    -   The Company's financing strategy includes a potential sale of a
        minority interest in the Kitsault project to raise its share of
        equity portion of the capital funding required to rebuild the mine.
        This strategy, if successful, will be less dilutive to the
        shareholders than raising the required equity through the public
        equity markets. The Company is in discussions with potential
        strategic partners.
    -   The Company expects to negotiate off-take agreements for future
        molybdenum production with price protection mechanisms to support the
        debt component of the capital required. This is being done in
        conjunction with its debt advisor who has arranged meetings with some
        of its molybdenum consuming steel clients.
