Hunt Mining Corp. Intersects Strong Precious Metal Mineralization at La Josefina, Santa Cruz, Argentina

LIBERTY LAKE, WASHINGTON--(Marketwire - Sept. 30, 2011) - Hunt Mining Corp. (the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:HMX) is pleased to announce the latest drill results from the Veta Norte zone located on the La Josefina Project in Santa Cruz province, Argentina. A total of 20 holes were completed in the Veta Norte area, with 3 holes located between the previously identified Cecilia/Amanda vein systems and the Veta Sur vein shoot. Results of this drilling helps link these separate vein systems together and adds 200 meters of additional strike length to the known mineralization along the Veta Norte trend. Drilling on the La Josefina Project continues and is now focused on the Sinter zone and the newly identified Andrea zone. Historic results from the Sinter zone drilling can be viewed in the Corporation's May 5^th, 2011 press release, and additional drill results from the Sinter and Andrea zones will be released as the results become available. The Corporation continues to add staff, prepare drill locations, and improve infrastructure for a major Argentina spring drilling campaign expected to start in October 2011.

Highlights from the Veta Norte drill holes include:

Hole SVN-D11-323:

• 1.72 meters true width (5.6 feet) of 4.33 g/t gold, 26.02 g/t silver, including
• 0.44 meters true width (1.4 feet) of 14.4 g/t gold and 77.9 g/t silver

Hole SVN-D11-326:

• 1.00 meters true width (3.3 feet) of 4.93 g/t gold, 86.67 g/t silver

Hole SVN-D11-327:

• 0.95 meters true width (3.1 feet) of 1.39 g/t gold, 196.75 g/t silver

Gold and silver grades returned for other recent Veta Norte holes not cited above (SVN-D11-317, 319, 320, 321, 322, 324, 325, 328, 329, 331, 332, 333, 334, 335, 336, 337, 338 and 339) range from below detection limit (< 0.01 g/t Au) to 4.56 g/t gold and 197.70 g/t silver.

Such forward looking-information is based on assumptions and current expectations that involve a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking information. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking information include, but are not limited to, failure to establish estimated resources, the grade and recovery of ore which is mined varying from estimates, capital and operating costs varying significantly from estimates, delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required governmental, environmental or other project approvals, inflation, changes in exchange rates, fluctuations in commodity prices, delays in the development of projects, uncertainties relating to the interpretation of the geology, continuity, grade and size estimates of mineral resources and unanticipated operational or technical difficulties and other factors. Such forward-looking information is based on a number of assumptions, including but not limited to, the availability of financing, no significant decline in existing general business and economic conditions, the level and volatility of the price of gold, the accuracy of the Corporation's resource estimates and of the geological, metallurgical, price and other assumptions on which the estimates are based.
