Vendetta Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE:VTT) ("Vendetta" or the "Company") a
Vancouver based mineral exploration company, announces that it has staked two
new mineral claims that cover potential extensions of known mineralization in
the southeastern part of the Company's Honeymoon East property located in
southern British Columbia.


The Honeymoon East property is an early stage exploration project that has
potential for poly-metallic VMS type deposits and for structurally controlled
vein type gold mineralization. The most advanced target on the property is a
geochemical anomaly referred to as the Joseph Prospect identified by Esso
Minerals in the early 1980's. Esso drilled two shallow holes in 1984 and
intersected a 9.2m wide interval that assayed 2.39% lead, 1.05% zinc, 30.9 g/t
silver and 1.27% barium (BCMEM Minfile records, 1984). A NI 43-101 compliant
report on the property (entitled "Review of Technical Information and Proposed
Exploration Program for the Honeymoon East Property" prepared by Carl A. Von
Einsiedel, P.Geo and dated July 20, 2010) noted that the geochemical anomaly
that defines the Joseph Prospect is more extensive than reported by Esso and
that potential extensions of this zone to the north were covered by mineral
tenures owned by unrelated third parties. A copy of this report can be accessed
under the Company's profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).


The new claims acquired by Vendetta comprise 241.2 hectares that cover the
potential north extensions of the Joseph target. The new claim area is
overburden covered however a review of BC Ministry of Mines assessment reports
for the new claims indicates that a previous operator (Spokane Resources Ltd.)
completed trenching and till geochemical sampling in 2001. Based on the results
of the 2001 program the previous owners concluded that the claims cover
potential extensions of the Joseph Prospect.


The main objective of the proposed Stage 1 exploration program for the Honeymoon
East property is to determine if additional VMS type mineralization occurs along
the extensions of the airborne EM conductors that are associated with the Joseph
Prospect in the eastern part of the property. Based on the new claim acquisition
the Company has amended the proposed Stage 1 exploration program to include
geochemical sampling on the newly acquired claims.


Preliminary work on the property will involve reconnaissance scale geochemical
surveys along the N-NNW trending airborne EM conductors in the eastern part of
the property. A total of 500 to 600 widely spaced samples will be collected
along 200 to 400 meter spaced profile lines over a strike length of roughly five
kilometers across the Honeymoon East property, including the newly acquired
claims. The target area is overburden covered and geochemical surveys should
determine if additional mineralized zones are present along the projected
extension of the rock units that host the Joseph Prospect. The estimated cost of
the geochemical surveys including the proposed work on the new claims is
approximately $100,000 which forms part of the Phase 1 exploration program as
set out in the abovementioned technical report. If warranted, follow up
trenching will be completed later in the field season.


The Company has authorized its consultants to complete as much of the
reconnaissance surveys as is practical under current conditions. Results will be
announced as they become available.

Company, reviewed the geologic information summarized in this news release.
