Release #25 - 2012

Vancouver, B.C., Monument Mining Limited (TSX-V: MMY and FSE: D7Q1) "Monument" or the "Company" is pleased to announce that it has retained Mackie Research Capital Corporation (�MRCC�) as its exclusive financial advisor. 
MRCC has been mandated to evaluate various strategic and financial alternatives to meet the Company�s growth objectives and increase shareholder value.  MRCC will provide assistance in negotiating the terms and structure for any future financing transactions, which could include attracting additional strategic partners. MRCC will also continuously assess the market�s appetite for future financing transactions. 
Monument is a growing, low cost gold producer with a 100% ownership interest in the Selinsing Gold Mine in Malaysia.  The Selinsing Gold Mine continues to generate strong cash flow that will be used primarily to fund further exploration programs at the Selinsing Gold Project, Buffalo Reef Prospect and Famehub properties, as well as the Phase IV gold plant upgrade, and additional land acquisition to expand the Selinsing open pit.
Additional funds will be raised to advance the Company�s Malaysian Mengapur Polymetalic Cu-S-Au-Ag (Fe-Mo) Project.  As disclosed on October 9, 2012, Monument has signed a harmonization agreement with Phoenix Lake Sdn Bhd ("PLSB") in protecting its rights to other metals contained in the top soils. This eliminates a significant source of uncertainty from the Mengapur Project. Subsequently, the Operating Mining Scheme ("OMS") and the Permit to Use Explosives for its Mengapur Project have been approved by the authority of Pahang State, Malaysia, effective May 10, 2012 and remain valid until May 31, 2013. Monument is now proceeding with in-fill and exploration drilling, metallurgical test work and development planning at Mengapur property.
