Release #09 - 2011

Vancouver, B.C. Monument Mining Limited (TSX-V: MMY and FSE: D7Q1) “Monument” or the “Company” is pleased toannounce that it has commenced the Stage II Tailing Storage Facility (the “TSF”) construction at its wholly owned Selinsing Gold Mine at Pahang State, Malaysia. The stage II Tailings Storage Facility expansion is designed to accommodate 10 years discharge from the 1 million tonnes per annum gold treatment plant.

The TSF Expansion contract totaling $1.3 million (RM3.9 million) was awarded in April 2011 to Perlombongan L.S. Choong Sdn. Bhd., the local Malaysian construction company that constructed the stage I tailings storage facility. The Stage II TSF construction involves raising the existing dam height 12 metres and is targeting completion in December 2011 to give an estimated total tailings storage capacity of 4.6 million tonnes. This capacity will support 10 years of tailings discharge from the expanded processing capacity following the phase III gold processing plant expansion targeting completion in May 2012. The design of the expanded TSF allows for the walls to be further raised another 16 metres to its final height to increase the storage capacity to 11.0 million tonnes.

President and CEO Robert Baldock stated “This Tailings Storage Facility expansion work is in full compliance with our operating permit obligations as Monument is dedicated to responsible mining and the protection of life, health and the environment for present and future generations.”
