BacTech/Mintek Biogold Plant Wins Environmental Award

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(CCNMatthews - Nov. 21, 2006) - BacTech Mining Corporation (TSX VENTURE:BM)("BacTech") is pleased to learn that its patented BACOX technology has recently been included in an award given to Michelago Limited ("Michelago") in China. The award, deemed the Mining Environmental Protection Award, was issued at the inaugural China Mining 2006 awards ceremony in Beijing.

Michelago's Biogold facility in Shandong province has operated a bioleach plant since 2001. The plant, designed by BacTech and Mintek of South Africa, liberates gold from difficult to treat concentrates. BacTech/Mintek issued a license to Michelago on February 20, 2005 (the effective date) for a 5 year period, extendible for an additional 5 years on the same terms and conditions set out in the original license, subject to Michelago not being in default of the license at the time of renewal. In addition, BacTech/Mintek hold an option to purchase up to a 30% equity interest, at a fair market value, in any new projects acquired or developed by Michelago in the agreed to territories which use the BACOX technology.

The Biogold plant is presently undergoing an expansion, overseen by BacTech's Dr. Paul Miller, that should see a doubling of gold production from the bioleach facility to over 150,000 ounces of gold per annum. A royalty will be paid by Michelago to BacTech/Mintek from this additional production.

CORPORATE PROFILE

BacTech has developed and patented bacterial oxidation technology for the treatment of refractory ores and concentrates to enhance the recovery of gold, silver and base metals. BacTech has successfully commissioned three bioleach plants for gold and demonstrated its technology in the selective recovery of base metals from complex sulphide concentrates in a joint project with Industrias Penoles de C.V. of Mexico. The Company's focus is the acquisition of equity positions in projects amenable to bioleaching.

BacTech Announces Uranium Joint Venture

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(CCNMatthews - Jan. 26, 2007) - BacTech Mining Corporation ("BacTech" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:BM) today announced the establishment of a uranium Joint Venture with Quinto Mining Corp. ("Quinto")(TSX VENTURE:QU) in Quebec. BacTech will pay Quinto a prospect fee of $25,000 (all figures Canadian) and commit to a $300,000 work program to earn a 50% interest in the property. At the end of the work program, to be completed within one year, BacTech will have an option to earn an additional 25% by spending $1 million in the ensuing 12 months.

The Quinto property ("Godbout"), located near Baie Comeau, totals 151 claims and consists of three pegmatite dykes over 1.5km. The property has been previously worked. The work includes a grab sample from each dyke, as well as a single exploratory hole that was drilled in 1979 and partially completed. The drill result report was signed and submitted to the Ministere de L'Energie et des Ressources by Mr. Francois Gilbert, ING. The results of the sampling were provided by Mr. Etienne Forbes P.Geo. The following results from both the drill hole and the sampling are not NI 43-101 compliant; they are provided for historical reference and should not be relied upon.



-----------------------------------------------------------Results of sampling U3O8 THO2-----------------------------------------------------------Discovery hole dyke 2006 ppm 240.5 ppm-----------------------------------------------------------White pegmatite dyke 261 ppm 249 ppm-----------------------------------------------------------Lac des Iles dyke 1323 ppm 561 ppm-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------Results of drilling 45 to 55 feet 45 to 60 feet-----------------------------------------------------------Over 10 feet 1.08 lbs U3O8-----------------------------------------------------------Over 15 feet .89 lbs U3O8-----------------------------------------------------------




The dynamics of the current uranium market are such that, when presented with this opportunity, the Board of BacTech made the decision to pursue the project. It must be stressed at this time, that BacTech will continue to pursue bioleaching projects for its proprietary technology as its core business. We are currently evaluating a number of bioleach opportunities in several countries, but selecting the right project and completing due diligence is an ongoing process. It has been the strategy of BacTech to move forward in becoming a metals producer in a range of commodities related to its technical expertise. "We see the Quinto project as being an opportunistic acquisition, turning BacTech from a pure technology leveraged mining company, to a mining company with technology leverage," said Ross Orr, BacTech's President and CEO.

In connection with the transaction, a finder's fee of $31,875 will be paid to Starlight Capital Partners, by way of 303,572 common shares of the Company at an issue price of $0.105, subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange. The common shares issued will be subject to a four-month hold period from the date of issuance.

BacTech has developed and patented bacterial oxidation technology for the treatment of refractory ores and concentrates to enhance the recovery of gold, silver and base metals. BacTech has successfully commissioned three bioleach plants for gold and demonstrated its technology in the selective recovery of base metals from complex sulphide concentrates in a joint project with Industrias Penoles de C.V. of Mexico.
