Anaconda Mining Inc. ("Anaconda" or the "Company") (TSX:ANX), is pleased to
report that on July 16, 2008, the first gold was poured at its Pine Cove Gold
Mine ("Pine Cove") in Baie Verte, Newfoundland. The pour yielded three gold dore
bars with a collective weight of 140.43 oz. As previously announced (see
Anaconda Press Release dated July 3rd, 2008), mine / mill commissioning and
optimization studies are ongoing. Mill throughput is approaching engineered
design specifications as gold recovery at each stage of the mill circuit reaches
acceptable levels as per plant design. Currently, the inventory of broken ore,
including the fine ore stockpile, coarse ore stockpile and broken ore in the
pit, measures 26,141 tonnes at a calculated grade of 3.68 g/t.


On achieving this milestone Lewis Lawrick, President and CEO commented: "we are
thrilled to be announcing our first gold pour at Pine Cove and I congratulate
the team under the leadership of General Manager Allan Cramm for their
commitment to this project. We look forward to ramping up to full production at
this time of record high gold prices."


Construction at Pine Cove began in June 2007 and was completed within
established capital budget allocations, despite severe winter construction
conditions. Pine Cove is designed to process 500 tonnes of ore per day and
produce approximately 16,000 ounces of gold annually from probable reserves of
2.3 million tonnes of ore grading 2.8 grams of gold per tonne (207,000 ounces of
contained gold). Inferred resources at Pine Cove total 0.067 million tonnes of
ore grading 2.4 grams of gold per tonne (5,200 ounces of contained gold).
