NWM Files Updated NI 43-101 Technical Report for Lluvia de Oro Project

TSX Venture Exchange Symbol: NWM

TORONTO, March 14, 2014 /CNW/ - NWM Mining Corporation ("NWM" or the "Company") (TSX-V: NWM)   is pleased to announce today that subsequent to its news release dated November 7, 2013,  it has filed an updated National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) for its Lluvia de Oro Project in Sonora, Mexico.

Total reserves for the project, which encompasses the Creston and Gold Ridge mines and the Jojoba deposit, are now estimated at 577,000 ounces (40.8 million tonnes at a combined grade of 0.44 g/t gold). The new reserve estimate represents a 50% increase from the previous estimate completed in 2010.  The report contains revisions to the original resource and reserve estimates contained in the previous press release.  The changes are due to minor errors in some of the original resource block classifications that were discovered during the preparation of the final NI 43-101 compliant Technical Report.  The total changes in measured and indicated resources and proven and probable reserves amount to less than 5% of the numbers quoted previously.  Updated estimates for the project are shown in summary Tables 1 and 2 below.

Table 1.  Mineral Reserve Estimates for the Lluvia de Oro Project
Classification		Tonnes (millions)	Grade (g/t gold)	Gold Ounces
Proven
	Creston mine	20.7	0.38	253,000
	Gold Ridge mine	1.8	0.34	21,000
	Jojoba deposit	6.4	0.71	146,000
Probable
	Creston mine	7.7	0.37	91,000
	Gold Ridge mine	1.0	0.36	10,000
	Jojoba deposit	3.2	0.54	56,000
Project Totals (Proven + Probable)		40.8	0.44	577,000

Notes (for Table 1)

1. CIM definitions were followed for Mineral Reserves.
2. Mineral Reserves are estimated at a cut-off of 0.12 g/t gold for Creston, 0.16 g/t gold for Gold Ridge and 0.15 g/t gold for Jojoba.
3. Mineral Reserves are estimated using a long-term gold price of US$1300/oz and a $US/$CDN exchange of 1.00.
4. Bulk density is 2.49t/m³ for Creston/Gold Ridge and 2.70t/m³ for Jojoba.
5. Numbers may not add up due to rounding.
6. Mineral Reserves are contained in pit shells developed using appropriate software and current mining costs from Lluvia de Oro operations.
7. Mineral Reserve tonnages include 2% mining losses.

About NWM Mining Corporation

NWM is in commercial gold production at its wholly owned Lluvia gold project. The mine is an open pit heap leach operation in Sonora State, Mexico. Management believes the property is significantly under-explored and hosts potential to provide further gold discoveries and resource and reserve upgrades. While management has focused in the past on developing the mine and supporting cash flows, the focus in 2014 will shift to increasing mining rates and drilling to expand geological resources and reserves.
