[Seoul,
Korea& VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA=Whowired] May 2,
2012 -- Woulfe Mining Corp. ("Woulfe" or the "Company")
(TSX VENTURE:WOF)(OTCQX:WFEMF)(FRANKFURT:OZ4) is pleased to update shareholders
regarding developments within Korea that impact its 100% owned Sangdong
Project.
As an extension of its agreements signed
with Woulfe Mining on February 29, 2012, IMC, a Warren Buffett company, entered
into a Memorandum of Understanding with municipal governments in charge. The
MOU executed on Wednesday 25rd April among the representative of IMC, the Governor
of Gangwon Province and the Mayor of Yeongwol County stipulates "close
cooperation between IMC and relevant government authorities for the successful
development of the Sangdong Minie project (the "Project")".
According to the MOU, IMC will invest CAD70
million to acquire 25% stake of Sangdong Mine and to build an APT plant.
Gangwon Province and Yeongwol County stated
in the MOU that "In order for earlier recognition of IMC's investment
effect, government authorities will fully support the Project in the areas of
permits, designation of Foreign Direct Investment Zone, building of roads and
other infrastructure as well as tax exemption and will continue to attract
corporations related to the Project.
Comment from Brian Wesson, CEO of Woulfe:
"This MOU between IMC and the relevant
government authorities is of significant importance to us. It was following the
Definitive Feasibility Study released by Tetra Tech Company a few days ago in
which the NPV of Sangdong Mine for the first 11.5 years was assessed to be
$400.5 million or 46% IRR. In addition to the IMC's investment, undivided
support from relevant governments will assure the successful completion of the
Sangdong Project and will help us achieve the targeted production of tungsten
concentrate and APTs in mid-2013."
On Behalf of the Board of Directors, Woulfe
Mining Corp.

Director
