CWRN: Buyer's Government Approval for Baja Iron Ore Import Expected

HOUSTON, TX, Jul 07 (MARKET WIRE) --
Cotton & Western Mining, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: CWRN) stated today that its
Asian iron ore buyers and Investors have agreed in principal with the
contract terms and conditions and have applied to the Chinese government
for import permits under new government guidelines established in 2009.
Company management is expecting that all permits needed by the buyers
will be approved before the end of July 2009. Setbacks on opening the
Baja Mining Project have primarily been contributed to the down-turn in
the world economy; however, optimism remains high that the project will
move forward in 2009.

Current FOB annual contract pricing is $45.00 per each Dry Metric Ton
(DMT) shipped while one-off Spot Sales now at $76.50 CIF in main China
ports on base Fe content of 62%. Cotton & Western is expected to open
production at 52,000 DMT per month, which will be shipped from the
Pacific Ocean Port of Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico.

Cotton & Western Mining recently projected revenues in excess of $126
Million based on an agreed base price of $45.00 FOB Mexico, per each dry
metric ton sold on a guaranteed 64.5% Fe (iron content) with bonus payment
of $0.6976 for each 1% Fe content above the minimum contract
specifications. The average Fe content as tested in 2008 for Baja NO. 14
is 67% Fe content.
