VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Sep 12, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Kola Mining Corporation (TSX VENTURE: KM)(OTCBB: KMNFF)(FRANKFURT: C8M) ("The Company") announces assay results of this year's drilling program, and progress update on its 100% owned, Souker Nickel Deposit in Russia's Kola Peninsula.
The company continues to make steady progress toward completion of the Russian feasibility study (TEO Konditsiy) and the Russian resource calculation with an expected completion date of December 2008. Assay results for this year's spring/summer drilling program since the completion of the drill holes included in the Company's 43-101 Resource estimate (See June 11, 2008 News Release) are illustrated below. These holes were not included in the resource calculation. The results from the latest drilling are consistent with the orebody model developed to date. Results of the drill program will be incorporated into new resource estimates, mine plans and feasibility updates at appropriate intervals. It is expected that the final average grade of the deposit that will be submitted to the Russian Federation for registration will exceed the average grade indicated in the most recent 43-101 technical report.

In addition to the infill drilling this year, two hydrological test wells have been completed and monitoring equipment has been installed. Five geotechnical holes for infrastructure planning and pit design have been completed. Preliminary metallurgical and rock mechanics test work is in progress. In addition to completing metallurgical test work in Russia, the company will be shipping an ore sample to SGS Laboratories in Ontario Canada for further metallurgical evaluation.
A preliminary two-stage engineering and ecological study has been completed at Souker, resulting in the collection of data and implementation of environmental monitoring programs. This data will be included into an EIA (Environment Impact Assessment) in accordance with Western standards. Environmental monitoring has been in place for one year and will remain in place through the potential development of the Souker Deposit. The conclusion from the preliminary report indicated that future development and production from the Souker deposit will not have an additional, negative impact on the existing environment. A positive conclusion was made with regard to the socio-economic impact the potential development of the Souker Deposit would have on the Pechenga region.

"We are encouraged by these higher grade assay results from the center of the deposit. We are making excellent progress, and are on schedule to register the Souker deposit with Russian State Committee on Resources (GKZ)," commented Igor Kovarsky, Kola Mining President & CEO, upon his return from Russia.
