New Dawn Mining Corp.: Golden Quarry Mine Resumes Gold Production

Highlights:

- New Dawn now operates 4 producing gold mines
- Golden Quarry also represents an excellent exploration opportunity
- New Dawn expects to end 2011 at an annualized production rate of 38,000 to 40,000 ounces of gold

TORONTO, June 9, 2011 /CNW/ - New Dawn Mining Corp. (TSX: ND) ("New Dawn" or the "Company") reported that the Company has resumed gold production at the Golden Quarry Mine, located 180km northeast of Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. New Dawn now operates four producing gold mines in Zimbabwe and expects to end 2011 at an annualized production run rate of 38,000 to 40,000 ounces of gold.

Ian R. Saunders, President and CEO of New Dawn, commented, "New Dawn has essentially completed its evaluation of the Central African Gold assets and their integration into New Dawn's consolidated operating structure, and in the process, has been able to lay the groundwork to substantially increase sustainable gold production in future periods. The Company's recently reported production figures, revenue and net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 are an indication of the magnitude of the opportunity which is just beginning to be realized under the umbrella of New Dawn. With the Golden Quarry Mine now in production, New Dawn has gold production from four separate mines in Zimbabwe, and will also be accelerating exploration on six high priority targets now that the dry season in Zimbabwe is upon us."


Gold Production at the Golden Quarry Mine

The Golden Quarry Mine was one of five past producing mines which New Dawn acquired in June 2010, and consists of an underground operation with a dedicated milling circuit and beneficiation plant.

After several years on care and maintenance, the Golden Quarry Mine is now producing gold less than one year after New Dawn's acquisition of the property. Based on the mine plan that is now being implemented, the Company expects that the Golden Quarry Mine will contribute meaningful gold production to New Dawn's total annualized gold output while also providing significant exploration potential.


Exploration Potential at the Golden Quarry Mine

Located within the Gweru-Shurugwi Greenstone Belt, similar to the Greenstone belts found in both Canada, and Australia, this belt had produced 6.5% of Zimbabwe's total gold production through 1984. Mineralization at the Golden Quarry Mine occurs in a brecciated stockwork of quartz and quartz-carbonate veins and veinlets within a wide alteration zone. Excellent exploration potential exists both underground and at surface, and the property remains very much under explored, with evidence along strike and down dip extensions being present.

Additionally, to the north of the Golden Quarry Mine, trenching has revealed numerous NNE trending quartz vein systems, and preliminary work shows additional stockwork systems could be present.

The exploration potential at the Golden Quarry Mine forms only one of six high priority exploration targets which New Dawn intends to actively pursue in 2011 and 2012. All of these targets exhibit the potential for large tonnage, medium grade discoveries potentially amenable for bulk mining.


Corporate Ownership Structure

New Dawn owns approximately 85% of Falcon Gold Zimbabwe Ltd., which in turn owns, among other mining assets in Zimbabwe, 100% of the Golden Quarry Mine. Approximately 15% of the issued common shares of Falcon Gold Zimbabwe Ltd. are listed and trading on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange.


ABOUT NEW DAWN

New Dawn is a Zimbabwe-focused junior gold company that is currently expanding its consolidated annualized gold production to 38,000 to 40,000 ounces by the end of 2011, and then to 50,000 to 60,000 ounces within the next 18 to 24 months. New Dawn targets further increasing annualized gold production to 100,000 ounces within the next four to five years.

New Dawn owns 100% of the Turk/Angelus Mine Complex, the Old Nic Mine and the Camperdown Project. In addition, New Dawn has an approximately 85% equity interest in the Dalny, Golden Quarry and Venice Mines, and a large portfolio of prospective exploration acreage in Zimbabwe. These six mines, four of which are now operational, are divided into three significant gold camps, and the Company is in the process of expanding production at these sites. All properties and exploration projects are located in Zimbabwe.

In addition to gold production, New Dawn is also actively exploring on highly prospective ground employing modern exploration techniques and deploying capital in Zimbabwe, a country that is proven to be geologically rich, highly prospective, and significantly under explored.

New Dawn, with its large gold resource, existing production facilities and current exploration efforts, is well on the path to becoming a mid-tier gold mining company in Zimbabwe, active in both gold production and gold exploration.
