Arehada Reports Second Quarter Results

TORONTO, Aug 13 , 2009 - Arehada Mining Limited (TSX: AHD) today reports its second quarter results as well as providing an update on its financial conditions.

Revenue for the quarter was $1,815,960 from the mining of 34,897 tonnes of ore, compared to $4,587,490 from 132,996 tonnes in the same quarter last year. The net loss of $1,384,217 or $0.008 per share in Q2 2009 compares to earnings of $933,360 or $0.005 per share for the same quarter in 2008. The loss is due to the restarting of the mining operations in May, and the gradual ramp up of production.

During the quarter, Arehada conducted mining operations at a rate of approximately 712 tonnes per day and operated 48 days during the period which is significantly less than the average rate of 1,536 tonnes per day during the same period last year due to the restarting of the mine and targeting higher grades.

Head grades of approximately 1.53% zinc and 2.24% lead resulted in an average combined recovery rate of 90%. Silver head grades of 72.62 grammes per tonne met a 73% recovery factor from the lead concentrate. These grades are significantly improved over the average grades for 2008 and we expect them to continue to improve for the balance of 2009.

The Company is also pleased to report that it commenced interest payments on May 31st, 2009 to the Agricultural Bank of China. As at July 24, 2009, a total of RMB3,160,113 (Cdn$505,618) has been repaid to the bank. The Company expects to commence principal payments in September 2009.

The Company has received the first repayment of RMB1 million (Cdn$170,000) of the related party loan from Baiyinhanshan Mining Group Limited, a company controlled by Messrs. Steve Fan Wang and Tom Zhen Wang, directors, officers and controlling shareholders of Arehada. Baiyinhanshan plans to make regular monthly repayments to Arehada on this loan and the August payment was the first of such repayments.

"We are very pleased that the Company is back in production", commented Steve Fan Wang, Chairman of the Board. "With base metal prices increasing in recent months, the Company was able to resume its operations. Although the second quarter saw us operating for only one month, we are encouraged by the results so far. We believe the strong recovery of economy in China will continue to increase base metal prices."
