GEOVIC MINING CONTRACTS INVESTOR RELATIONS FIRM FOR U.S. MARKET DEVELOPMENT

June 27, 2008 � Grand Junction, CO - Geovic Mining Corp. (�Geovic� or �The Company�, TSX:GMC) is pleased to announce a new strategic relationship with San Diego Torrey Hills Capital ("Torrey Hills"), commencing immediately for a one-year term. Torrey Hills, which has been involved in the junior resource capital market for the past decade, will act as an Investor Relations consultant, principally related to increasing Geovic�s marketing efforts in the United States.

Geovic is a Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) listed company that went public via a reverse takeover (RTO) transaction in December 2006, followed by two public offerings in early 2007 that raised approximately $93 million. Subsequently, Geovic became a reporting issuer under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 in July 2007, and is now subject to all reporting requirements in both Canada and the United States. The Company aims to increase its market exposure in the U.S. through the new relationship with Torrey Hills, and has also initiated the process of upgrading its U.S. stock listing to the OTC Bulletin Board market, seeking to finalize this effort by the fall.

In connection with the agreement, Geovic has granted Torrey Hills warrants to purchase 250,000 common shares at an exercise price of $1.26 per share for a period of three years from the date of the agreement. The warrants will vest over 12 months in four equal stages, commencing on the date of the agreement.

Andrew Hoffman, Vice President, Investor Relations of Geovic Mining, comments "We are enthusiastic about working with Torrey Hills to expand our marketing efforts. Torrey Hills has demonstrated an impressive track record with mining and energy companies, and we look forward to utilizing their expertise.�
