Expedition Mining Inc. (TSX VENTURE:EXU) (the "Company") wishes to announce the
results from the Phase I work program on the Joy property located in the Rackla
Gold Belt in the Yukon. This work consisted of mapping, prospecting, stream
sediment sampling and rock sampling from a helicopter supported camp on the Joy
property. 


The Phase I work program was guided by an airborne geophysical survey which was
flown in the spring of 2011. The Joy property survey demonstrated that the
strongest geophysical anomalies are east-west trending and appear to coincide
with the projected locations of the Kathleen Lakes fault and the Dawson thrust
fault. The majority of the secondary drainages in this area are north-south
trending providing good sections and exposure through the stratigraphic
sequence. 


The stream sampling program included a series of Bulk Leachable Extractable Gold
(BLEG) samples which gave a lower detection limit and greater sensitivity of
analyses. In this area not all streams are amenable to BLEG sampling due to the
high topographic gradient and active water flow which flushes out the fine
sediment required for this form of sampling. A total of 91 stream, 7 BLEG, and
46 rock samples were collected from the Joy property and analysed for gold and a
51 element ICP package at AGAT Laboratories in Mississauga, Ontario. 


The majority of the streams drain to the north, and anomalous values were
derived from all of these drainages. Only three drainages occur on the southern
flank of the property, which also returned locally anomalous results in arsenic
and mercury. Anomalous values are considered to be anything over the 95th
percentile of values for that element. Several samples contained statistically
anomalous gold values which correlate with the multi-element anomalies. The
following table highlights the most significant results.

The strongest multi-element anomalies are located in the northwest and northeast
corners of the property from streams that drain an easterly trending ridge
through the centre of the claim block. Initial reconnaissance mapping suggests
that the stratigraphic units in the area may have an east-west orientation as
demonstrated by the geophysical results. 


The rock sampling results completed to date have corroborated the stream
sediment sampling. Sulphide bearing outcrops in the northwest of the property
have been named the Virga showing. This drainage also contained strongly
anomalous sediment samples, indicating that the geochemical program is an
effective tool in this environment. Rock samples 5267332 to 337 in the table
below are from the Virga showing, which appears to be underlain by sediments and
ultramafic units.

A fully winterized camp has been established to support the current Phase II
work program. This program will include mapping and rock sampling, along with
both grid and contour soil sampling to further refine the nature of the known
showings, along with additional prospecting to evaluate the remainder of the
property. Geological and logistical support for the program is being provided by
Aurora Geosciences. 


The Company also completed field work on the Mt. Mervyn property and results are
expected shortly. The Mt. Mervyn property is comprised of 314 unpatented mining
claims, approximately 6,564 hectares (65.64 sq km), and located in the Mayo
Mining District of central Yukon. It is five kms from ATAC Resources' Rau Gold
Property, where Carlin-type gold mineralization has been discovered, and
adjacent to Strategic Metal's claim block.

Instrument 43-101.


Expedition is a publicly held Canadian exploration company focused on acquiring,
