Trevali's Santander Mine Construction on Track

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - June 21, 2012) - Trevali Mining Corporation ("Trevali" or the "Company") (TSX:TV)(TSX:TV.WT)(LMA:TV)(OTCQX:TREVF)(FRANKFURT:4TI) is pleased to provide a development update for its Santander Zinc-Lead-Silver Mine in west-central Peru. Trevali Peru currently has approximately 600 construction workers and miners on site, and project development is advancing accordingly. All major mine and mineral processing items are on schedule and the Company presently remains on track for commissioning in late Q3-2012.

SITE INFRASTRUCTURE

All core site infrastructure is essentially complete and fully operational - accommodation units, both catering facilities and various mine planning and site offices. Construction and commissioning of the project's 65-kilometre power-line is nearing completion and it is estimated that the site will be connected to the Peruvian power grid in late June - early July.


PROCESSING PLANT

Merit Consultants International Inc. is supervising construction of the 2,000 tonne-per-day (tpd) Processing Plant by Cempro Tech S.A., a Lima based specialist construction firm, on behalf of the Santander Project Development Team (a joint development between Trevali and Glencore International).

Glencore's mill is fully decommissioned and all equipment is on-site and ready for installation, including specific new components. Plant construction is advancing well - all foundations are poured and cured, the majority of rebar and framework is in place and various structural components and building fabrication are presently being assembled (mill circuits, flotation building, zinc and lead thickeners and concentrate storage warehouses) (Figure 1).

UNDERGROUND DEVELOPMENT

The Company's mining contractors, JRC Ingenieros, mobilized to site approximately 3 weeks ago. All key underground service and support facilities are in place, namely water, air, underground offices and training rooms, lamp-room, various explosive magazines and equipment shops. Development of the 5-metre-by-4-metre underground access ramp has commenced and progress to date is excellent (Figure 2).
