Glacier Media Inc. (TSX:GVC) is pleased to announce that, through its affiliates, it has acquired a 50% interest in InfoMine Inc. (www.infomine.com), a leading online provider of rich information and intelligence to the global mining industry.

Founded in 1990 and headquartered in Vancouver, B.C., InfoMine employs a staff of 94 people across seven key mining nations -- Canada, USA, Mexico, Brazil, Peru, South Africa and Australia.

InfoMine delivers its online information and services through a number of divisions including:


--  CareerMine - the largest online job board for the global mining industry
    with between 25,000 and 35,000 active job postings at any point in time.
--  CostMine - a comprehensive source of mine cost estimating information.
--  EduMine - an online "campus" with courses covering a broad array of
    topics and areas relevant to the mining industry.
--  Companies and Properties Database - a subscription database with
    detailed information on thousands of mining companies and mineral
    properties.
--  Others such as SupplyMine (an online directory of over 19,000 mining
    supply companies), Mining.com (a mining news site) and EquipmentMine (an
    online classifieds site for mining equipment and services).

The information delivered on InfoMine.com is provided through a number of "editions" and is available in English, Spanish and Portuguese.

InfoMine's experienced management team will continue to operate and grow the business. InfoMine's founder and CEO, Dr. Andy Robertson, was previously a founding partner of Steffen, Robertson and Kirsten (SRK), a leading, international mining consulting practice with over 1,000 professionals.

The investment in InfoMine further enhances Glacier's mining information presence, which represents a significant strategic opportunity. Canada is one of three global hubs in terms of mining financing, technology, education and overall activity. Through the Northern Miner group (The Northern Miner, Mining Markets, Diamonds in Canada, Canadian and American Mines Handbook), Glacier already has a strong brand and product offering in the mining information space. InfoMine substantially enhances Glacier's presence in the sector in terms of expertise, product offering, digital footprint, and global reach.

Mining information is also an important component of a broader natural resources information offering for Glacier. Through the JuneWarren-Nickle's Energy Group, the Western Producer and Farm Business Communications, Glacier offers a wide variety of information and intelligence products to parties involved in and interested in Canada's natural resources industries. The overlap in customers and information needs between the mining, oil and gas and agriculture verticals is significant. Glacier will continue to enhance existing offerings while concurrently partnering and acquiring to increasingly meet the rich information needs of clients in this space.

"We are delighted to partner with InfoMine, Andy and his talented team," said Jonathon Kennedy, President and CEO of Glacier Media. "The investment in InfoMine continues Glacier's goal of building our business information operations with particular focus on digital and rich information opportunities."

Shares in Glacier can be traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol GVC.
