CALGARY , Dec. 1 /CNW/ - Whitemud Resources Inc. ("Whitemud" or "the Company") (TSXV:WMK) presents an operations update.

Whitemud is providing an update on operations and recent cost reduction initiatives in light of lower than expected sales volumes.

Subsequent to the close of the convertible debenture financing, the Company implemented a significant cost reduction program. Staff reductions and salary cuts have reduced total monthly payroll costs from approximately $265,000 to $115,000 per month. Severance costs associated with this reduction in employment level were approximately $100,000 . Progress has also been made in reducing some fixed lease and other operating costs. The Company's current burn rate is estimated at less than $280,000 per month and expected to decline further in early 2010.

Whitemud is delivering its first shipment of Whitemud(MK) into the enormous California market. The product will be used in a water treatment plant project in Los Angeles .

Whitemud has initiated discussions with a number of companies regarding strategic alliances to develop markets and to participate in the exploitation of Whitemud's metakaolin resources.
