Continental's Xietongmen Project Receives Two More Important Approvals-Environmental Impact Assessment and Conservation Plan

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA (TSX VENTURE: KMK)(OTCBB: KMKCF) announces government approval of two more reports required for its mining license application for the Xietongmen Project (the "Project") in the Tibet Autonomous Region, People's Republic of China ("PRC").

The State Environmental Protection Administration ("SEPA") has approved the Environmental Impact Assessment and the Ministry of Water Resources has approved the Soil and Water Conservation Plan. These two reports were completed by certified Chinese design institutes working in accordance with Chinese rules and regulations. Continental has now received approvals for all but one of the reports required for the mining license application (see background information posted on Continental's website). The Land Reclamation Plan is scheduled for completion in January, and will be submitted as part of the mining license application.

The Xietongmen porphyry copper-gold deposit was discovered by drilling in 2005. A comprehensive program for the Project commenced in 2006, designed to collect the data necessary for the completion of all reports required by the Chinese government to apply for a mining license, as well as the positive feasibility study (announced in August 2007). These technical studies have also provided data for a social and environmental impact assessment ("SEIA") that is being completed by internationally recognized consultants in accordance with International Finance Corporation ("IFC") standards. The SEIA is scheduled to be completed in the coming months and, together with the feasibility study, will play an important role in the financing of the Project.

President and CEO, Gerald Panneton, said: "Excellent progress continues to be made toward our mining license application and completion of the technical, environmental and social studies for Xietongmen. Our goal is to fulfill all requirements for a mining license, design and build an operation that meets international standards, and contributes positively to the economic development of the region. With our major shareholder, the Jinchuan Group (which recently increased its position in KMK to 14% through exercising warrants (C$2.25) at a premium of 36% to the current market), we look forward to developing this excellent project."
