Title: Trevali Discovers Multiple New Zones of High-Grade Mineralization at Santander Zinc-Lead-Silver Mine

Highlights include: Pariatambo Zone -- 9.35 metres of 4.0 oz/ton Ag, 6.5%Pb, 8.9% Zn Rosa Zone -- 8.75 metres of 5.6 oz/ton Ag, 3.6% Pb, 5.1% Zn, and 4.3 metres of 5.1 oz/ton Ag, 4.2% Pb, 5.6% Zn

Vancouver, British Columbia...Trevali Mining Corporation ("Trevali" or the "Company") (TSX: TV and TV.WT; BVL: TV; OTCQX: TREVF; Frankfurt: 4TI) announces that underground drilling at the Santander Zinc-Lead-Silver Mine in Peru has intersected multiple zones of high-grade polymetallic mineralization that remain open for expansion.

The 3,968-metre drill program, in 39 holes, was designed to explore and define new footwall mineralized zones encountered in recent underground development in addition to provide deeper in-fill definition information on the Magistral Norte deposit to facilitate long range mine-planning.

Three new zones occur in the footwall (or behind) the principal Magistral Norte deposit. The Pariatambo and Manto Zones lie parallel to and in the footwall of the main Magistral Norte Zone (Figure 1). However, the new Rosa Zone, also in the footwall, is oblique (approximately 80�) to the main mineralized structures and is thought to represent the later phases of replacement mineralization along a paleo fault, which is part of a set of faults conjugate to the main north-south structures (Figure 2).

Due to the orientation, the Rosa Zone has been under-explored. The majority of previous surface exploration drill holes were aimed parallel to the Rosa Zone, leaving it for the most part undetected. All three zones remain open for expansion. Intercepts are shown in Table 1 and locations shown in Figures 1 and 2.

"These drill results give Trevali added confidence in mine planning and scheduling going forward with the added bonus of new mineralized material in the footwall, which is easily and immediately accessible for mining from the Magistral North ramp," stated Dr. Mark Cruise, Trevali's President and CEO. "Based on the results to date we classify the Rosa zone upside as significant and aim to expand upon these results in the near future."

This news release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the United States private securities litigation reform act of 1995 and "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation. Statements containing forward-looking information express, as at the date of this news release, the Company's plans, estimates, forecasts, projections, expectations, or beliefs as to future events or results and the company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation to, update such statements containing the forward-looking information. Such forward-looking statements and information include, but are not limited to statements as to: the accuracy of estimated mineral reserves and resources, anticipated results of future exploration, and forecast future metal prices, anticipated results of future electrical sales and expectations that environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-economic, political, marketing or other issues will not materially affect estimates of mineral reserves. These statements reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events and are necessarily based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that, while considered reasonable by the Company, are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties and contingencies.

These statements reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events and are necessarily based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that, while considered reasonable by the company, are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties and contingencies. Many factors, both known and unknown, could cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the results, performance or achievements that are or may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements contained in this news release and the company has made assumptions and estimates based on or related to many of these factors. Such factors include, without limitation: fluctuations in spot and forward markets for silver, zinc, base metals and certain other commodities (such as natural gas, fuel oil and electricity); fluctuations in currency markets (such as the Peruvian sol versus the U.S. dollar); risks related to the technological and operational nature of the Company's business; changes in national and local government, legislation, taxation, controls or regulations and political or economic developments in Canada, the United States, Peru or other countries where the Company may carry on business in the future; risks and hazards associated with the business of mineral exploration, development and mining (including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected geological or structural formations, pressures, cave-ins and flooding); risks relating to the credit worthiness or financial condition of suppliers, refiners and other parties with whom the Company does business; inadequate insurance, or inability to obtain insurance, to cover these risks and hazards; employee relations; relationships with and claims by local communities and indigenous populations; availability and increasing costs associated with mining inputs and labour; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development, including the risks of obtaining necessary licenses and permits and the presence of laws and regulations that may impose restrictions on mining,; diminishing quantities or grades of mineral reserves as properties are mined; global financial conditions; business opportunities that may be presented to, or pursued by, the Company; the Company's ability to complete and successfully integrate acquisitions and to mitigate other business combination risks; challenges to, or difficulty in maintaining, the Company's title to properties and continued ownership thereof; the actual results of current exploration activities, conclusions of economic evaluations, and changes in project parameters to deal with unanticipated economic or other factors; increased competition in the mining industry for properties, equipment, qualified personnel, and their costs. Investors are cautioned against attributing undue certainty or reliance on forward-looking statements. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated, described or intended. The Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements or information to reflect changes in assumptions or changes in circumstances or any other events affecting such statements or information, other than as required by applicable law.

Trevali's production plans at Caribou-Halfmile-Stratmat and Santander are based only on Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources and not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Inferred Mineral Resources are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves, and there is therefore no certainty that the conclusions of the production plans and Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) will be realized. Additionally where Trevali discusses exploration/expansion potential, any potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.

We advise US investors that while the terms "measured resources", "indicated resources" and "inferred resources" are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the US Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize these terms. US investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the material in these categories will ever be converted into reserves.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities in the United States. The securities described herein have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any state and may not be offered or sold within the United States, absent such registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.
