/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

CALGARY, Aug. 26 /CNW/ - Whitemud Resources Inc. ("Whitemud" or "the Company") (TSXV:WMK) today announced that it has filed its financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 with Canadian securities regulatory authorities. Copies of these documents are available at www.sedar.com and Whitemud's website at www.whitemudresources.com.

Financial highlights and results for the quarter ending June 30, 2010:

    
    -   Sales of $353,871 and $515,452 for the three and six months ended
        June 30, 2010 respectively as compared to $149,679 and $251,110
        respectively in the comparative periods
    -   The net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2010 amounted to
        $1,278,740 ($0.07 per share) compared to a net loss of $2,029,881
        ($0.12 per share) for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The
        Company recorded income of $630,000 in the second quarter that
        resulted from the settlement of a dispute related to the failure of
        the refractory lining of the plant kiln in 2008.
    -   Cost reduction initiatives have resulted in a reduction of salaries,
        general and administrative expenses by 43% in the first two quarters
        compared to the same period in the previous year
    

As previously announced on July 28, 2010, the Company completed a U.S. Supply and Distribution Agreement with a leading supplier of performance additives to the concrete industry. The agreement provides the distributor with exclusive distribution rights to market Whitemud(MK) to the ready mix concrete, precast concrete, concrete block, concrete brick, concrete pipe, and mining industries for the United States. The Company and its new Distribution partner in the U.S. have initiated a number of trials with producers in California, Arizona, Utah, Pennsylvania, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, and Idaho for use in precast concrete, ready mix concrete, concrete block, and shotcrete.

Management believes this Distribution agreement is a major step in the execution of its marketing plan and is a key milestone to Whitemud's efforts to secure additional financing to meet ongoing needs for working capital and obligations to creditors.

Although sales to date have not met management's expectations, the Company's sales have grown and new markets and applications continue to develop. In July, Whitemud initiated shipments to Colorado for oil well cementing with an international oilfield services company which subsequently began purchasing Whitemud(MK) for use in Alberta oil and gas wells.

Whitemud announced on July 28, 2010 that the Company would not make the July 31, 2010 interest payment, or the deferred January 31, 2010 interest payment on its outstanding debentures. Management is currently developing a proposal for the debenture holders. Any plan or proposal that the Company develops is subject to all necessary approvals, including stakeholder and regulatory approvals. The Company will keep debenture holders and shareholders informed on developments with respect to its plans.

Despite continued improvement in the Company's outlook for sales growth, additional capital will be required to meet the Company's future obligations and to sustain operations. Management continues to develop and implement a strategy to raise additional funds. As at June 30, 2010, the Company has drawn $182,402 on the $2 million credit facility with its bank and failed to meet its current ratio covenant. The Company is presently working with its bank towards a remedy while seeking additional financing.

This financial summary should be read in conjunction with the Company's June 30, 2010 Interim Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis, both of which are available on www.sedar.com.
