Mantra Mining Inc. ("Mantra" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:MAN) is pleased to
announce that it has awarded a drill contract for 2500 meters of core drilling
on its Colorado Creek Project in the state of Alaska, U.S.A. to Boart Longyear
Company, a Utah, U.S.A. Corporation. The Company expects to begin the
exploration work program in mid June 2009.


The drill program will initially target approximately 10 holes within the more
than 4.5 km mineralized corridor defined by a coincident gold soil anomaly and
magnetic low located adjacent to a large intrusive center and associated with a
series of rhyodacite porphyry sills and dikes. The drilling is designed to test
this large-scale gold mineralized system with many characteristics similar to
the 30 million ounce gold reserve at Donlin Creek located southwest of Colorado
Creek in the central part of the Kuskokwim Gold Belt. NovaGold Resources Inc.
and Barrick Gold have recently completed a feasibility study at Donlin Creek and
are currently advancing the project through the permitting process in
anticipation of making a construction decision to build what could be one of the
largest gold producing mines in the world.


Mantra also plans additional surface sampling on trend with the northeast
striking mineralized corridor. Historic exploration data, which include 1372.5
meters of core drilled by Placer Dome in 1997, airborne geophysics, and results
from over 1900 soil samples and 600 rock samples, have been compiled and
integrated into a comprehensive project database. The data define a northeast
trending mineralized zone that is at least 4.5 km long and associated with a
magnetic low on the margin of a multi-phase intrusive complex. Gold
mineralization appears associated with the porphyry dikes and sills that intrude
Cretaceous age sedimentary and volcanic rocks, a geologically similar setting to
the huge Donlin Creek gold system.


The Company's VP Exploration, Mr. Jerry Zieg, states, "Progress at Colorado
Creek is going very well since we completed the acquisition of the project in
March 9, 2009. Work has focused at this stage on a systematic compilation of the
project database to prioritize the targets for initial test work and to identify
new target areas within the 10,888 hectare (ha) project area. Final planning is
nearly complete for the upcoming 2,500 m drill program at Colorado Creek which
is anticipated to be the first of a series of drill programs that the Company
plans to conduct to test the potential for a multi-million ounce gold system at
Colorado Creek."


The Colorado Creek project is located approximately 70 km northwest of McGrath,
and 410 km northwest of Anchorage in low rolling hills roughly midway between
the Kuskokwim and Yukon Rivers. The Colorado Creek Property is located in an
area of historical and ongoing placer gold mining operations at the northern end
of the Kuskokwim Gold Belt which has historically produced over 4 million ounces
of gold. Some camp facilities exist on the property and an airstrip serviceable
by Hercules aircraft support exploration on the property.

uncertainties involved in the interpretation of drilling results and geological
tests and the estimation of reserves and resources; the need for cooperation of
government agencies and native groups in the development and operation of
properties; the need to obtain permits and governmental approvals; risks of
construction and mining projects such as accidents, equipment breakdowns, bad
weather, non-compliance with environmental and permit requirements,
unanticipated variation in geological structures, ore grades or recovery rates;
unexpected cost increases; fluctuations in metal prices and currency exchange
