Exploration Update on Karmin's Projects in Brazil and Peru

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

TORONTO, Nov. 14, 2012 /CNW/ - Karmin Exploration Inc. ("Karmin") (TSXV and the Lima Stock Exchange: KAR) is pleased to announce an update on the 2012 exploration programs in Brazil and Peru.


Aripuanã Zinc Project, Brazil

Roscoe Postle and Associates Inc. ("RPA") has been retained to prepare a Canadian National Instrument 43-101 compliant report defining the zinc-lead-copper-silver resources at Karmin's 30% owned Aripuanã Zinc Project ("Aripuanã") in Mato Grosso, Brazil. This report will include the information received from the 20,000 metres drilled during 2012 as well as the approximately 100,000 metres of drilling completed at Aripuanã over the past 15 years. RPA's report is expected to be completed in early in 2013.

Votorantim Metais ("Votorantim"), 70% owner and operator of Aripuanã, commenced the US$5.0 million 2012 drilling program in February 2012 as reported in Karmin's press release dated August 14, 2012. The 2012 drilling program was initiated by Votorantim with the primary objective of upgrading the majority of the indicated and inferred mineral resources at Aripuanã to the measured and indicated mineral resource categories in order to facilitate the revised mineral resource estimate for the project. Drilling was completed in October 2012.

Karmin has a 30% carried interest in Aripuanã and is not required to contribute to the project costs until the completion of a bankable feasibility study.


Cushuro Gold Project, Peru

Recent technical work has outlined a very prospective area for gold mineralization ("Cerro de Oro") in the southern claims of the 100% owned Cushuro Gold Project located in the world class Alto Chicama gold district of northern Peru. Local small miners have worked several locations at Cerro de Oro and a systematic geological evaluation and trenching program will commence in the next few weeks.

The Cushuro Gold Project is located directly east of Rio Alto's La Arena mine which is forecast to produce 200,000 ounces of gold in 2012.
