MDN STARTS DRILLING PROGRAM ON IKUNGU GOLD PROJECT Montreal, July 28, 2010 – MDN Inc. (“MDN”)
project Ikungu with two drills operating on site. The objective of this program is to prove the vertical continuity of multiple mineralized intercepts containing gold grades of more than 5 g/t, of which many are higher than 10 g/t (see press release of May 4, 2010). With 5,000 m of drilling planned and a total of 13 holes, the vertical continuity of the high grade shoots located near surface could be estimated down to a depth of 300m. During the first quarter, MDN received assay results showing zones with true widths of 2 to 4 metres, ranging in grade from 5 g/t Au to 11.5 g/t Au, including sections of up to 54.3 g/t Au over 0.4 m. The mineralization minimum thickness of 2 metres (true width) and sample grades above 1.2 g/t Au. The gold for holes IKD-08, IKD-28, IKD-36, IKD concentration of such zones has been identified in the central and eastern sectors now will test the occurrence of zones with an average sample grade of more than 10g/t Au.
