Liberty′s Nickel Concentrator Operating at Full Permitted Capacity

Liberty Mines Inc. ('Liberty or the Company?) is pleased to announce
that the Redstone nickel concentrator ('Mill?) located near Timmins
Ontario is operating at its permitted capacity of 1500 tonnes per day.
The Mill has demonstrated the ability to run at its design capacity of
2000 tonnes per day and an amendment to the Certificate of Industrial
Sewage Works is being submitted to the Ministry of Environment to
increase the permitted capacity of the Mill to 2000 tonnes per day.

During the month of June 2010, the McWatters open pit produced 32,500
tonnes of ore grading 0.42% nickel and the McWatters underground
operations produced 16,278 tonnes grading 1.17% nickel from development
and stoping. Sublevel caving is scheduled for mid August 2010 after the
open pit is exploited to approximately the 1270 level. Long hole
blasting from the 140L is scheduled to commence shortly providing high
grade ore for processing.

Gary Nash, Liberty's President & CEO, commented: 'We now have ample ore
to run our concentrator at its full permitted capacity. This is a
milestone for the Company which enables us to run our mining and milling
operations efficiently. The extra capacity of the Mill provides us the
opportunity to further enhance those efficiencies.'
