United Mining Group Commences Trading on TSX under Symbol "UMG"

Vancouver, British Columbia -- (Marketwire - Sept. 9, 2010) - United Mining Group, Inc. (the "Company") (TSX: UMG) (MUN: UM8) announces that it commences trading today on the TSX under the stock symbol "UMG". Jennings Capital Inc. acted as sponsor for purposes of the UMG listing application to the TSX.

United Mining Group is a diversified mining, contracting, exploration, and mine remediation company focused on the Idaho Silver Belt with the right to acquire an 80% interest in the Crescent Silver Mine in Silver Valley, Idaho, the second largest silver producing district in the world.

"Listing on the TSX is a critical milestone in our company's development," Greg Stewart, CEO of UMG, stated. "Since becoming a public issuer four months ago, we have now graduated to the premier resource exchange in the world. This is a major boost for the Company and a significant benefit to our shareholders."


Crescent Silver Mine Reactivation

The mine is currently under rehabilitation and striving to complete an audit at the Countess Portal level that will access the main ore reserve. This is due for completion in the 2nd quarter of 2011. The existing Hooper Tunnel is also being rehabilitated and is nearing completion of rehabilitation. The Hooper Tunnel will then be extended an additional 1100 feet to access the South Vein for further exploration. Concurrent with this production development will be several bulk sampling efforts.

The Company has retained SRK Consulting to complete an exploration, development and mining plan by December 15, 2010.


Exploration Potential of Crescent Mine

Concurrent with mining of the known silver bodies within the Crescent Mine, underground workings will provide platforms for drilling down-plunge and along-strike projections of known ore, and search for new bodies of silver mineralization.

Very little exploration has been carried out historically at the Crescent, despite its proximity to world-class silver ore bodies such as the Sunshine, and the fact that the favourable, silver-hosting geology trends into the Crescent. Management and technical staff estimate that only approximately 10 percent of the potential silver-hosting area of the prospect has been explored.
