Mount Kellett Comments on British Columbia Securities Commission′s Decision Not to Pursue Baja Mining′s Complaint

Mount Kellett Capital Management LP ('Mount Kellett?), today announced
that the British Columbia Securities Commission ('BCSC') has decided not
to pursue the complaint filed on February 23, 2012, by Baja Mining Corp.
(TSX:BAJ) (OTCQX: BAJFF) ('Baja?) against Mount Kellett, citing
insufficient evidence.

'We are pleased that the BC Securities Commission has recognized the
meritless nature of Baja′s claims,? said Jonathan Fiorello, Chief
Operating Officer of Mount Kellett. 'These allegations were unfounded
and designed to divert the attention of Baja shareholders away from the
self-dealing of the Baja board and management.?

Fiorello continued, 'Notwithstanding Baja′s attempts to distract its
shareholders, Mount Kellett is as committed as ever to our efforts to
nominate two highly qualified shareholder nominees to the Baja Board. We
look forward to shareholder support at the special shareholders′ meeting
on April 3, 2012 and the opportunity for Baja shareholders to have their
voices heard.?
