Hidalgo Mining International (HMIT) Announces Status of Company Projects

NEW YORK, NY, Oct 29 (MARKET WIRE) --
Hidalgo Mining International (PINKSHEETS: HMIT)
(www.hidalgominingint.com), an innovative mining company headquartered in
Port Washington, N.Y., announces status of company projects.

The Company has suffered numerous setbacks from the very beginning in
their attempts, through a local operator, to get the Guinea Projects into
production. Those problems, combined with the inability to secure
additional financing, and now coupled with a growing political instability
within the country, has forced the Company to discontinue the Fifa and
Tinkisso Projects in Guinea altogether.

Mark Daniel Klok, President of HMIT, stated, "The political environment in
Guinea is incredibly unstable. Recently in the Nation's capital of
Conakry, over 150 people were killed when troops fired live ammunition
into a pro-democracy rally
(http://www.bing.com/search?q=157%20people%20killed%20in%20guinea&form=HPNTLB).
Thus, at this time, the Company views the country of Guinea as too
volatile and has decided to cease all operations there immediately. As a
result, the Company recently executed an unwind agreement and has spun-out
the licensing rights to the aforementioned Properties to the local
operator in return for the forbearance of shares due said operator.

The Company, once again due to a lack of funding, is also unable to
continue with any of its planned efforts on the North Bay Joint Venture
projects due to capital needs which cannot be met at this time.

Finally, these events have caused management to move forward and pursue
brokering a deal with the Ghana Project. The Final Agreement is currently
in the process of being finalized and it is anticipated that the new deal
could result in a dividend being paid to Hidalgo and its shareholders once
funding is completed. Currently the Company is unable to meet the
additional capital contributions that are required to maintain the Ghana
Joint Venture in good standing so the brokering of the asset into a
company that can pay the capital requirements is the most viable way to
bring value to the Hidalgo and its shareholders. Castle Peak Mining is
currently completing the necessary steps to finalize a deal that should
result in the financing of the Ghana Projects shortly.

As part of this necessary and discussed revamping of the Company,
management has been aggressively pursuing new directions, opportunities,
and potential Projects for the Company. Management is currently in
discussions with an operational Company that could potentially bring a new
direction, assets, management and significant changes to Hidalgo and its
shareholders.
