BacTech Mining Corporation ("BacTech" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:BM) today
announced that the Minister of Energy and Mines of the Republic of Armenia, the
Honourable Armen Movsisyan, has issued an Order granting BacTech's partner,
Caldera Resources ("Caldera") (TSX VENTURE:CDR) and its subsidiary, Biomine LLC,
permission to access the Lichkvaz-Tey gold project, to conduct a sampling
campaign. Caldera will be extracting fresh samples from the Lichkvaz-Tey gold
project to provide concentrate for BacTech to conduct bioleaching test work to
increase the gold recovery at the project.


As mentioned in our October 6, 2009 news release, the Lichkvaz-Tey gold property
has a Soviet-era GKZ mineral resource, categorized as C1 and C2, of 3.4 million
tonnes grading on average 5.1 g/t Au, 33.2 g/t Ag and 0.41% Cu. This translates
to approximately 575,000 oz of gold, 3.7 million oz of silver and 33.4 million
pounds of copper.


The project is being pursued jointly with Caldera. BacTech has the option to
acquire a 40% interest in Caldera's subsidiary, Biomine LLC, in return for
providing technical support and test work for the project.


Finally, BacTech today announced that it has accepted the resignation of Mr.
Shahzad Ashfaq as a director of the Company. The board of directors wishes Mr.
Ashfaq success with his future endeavours.
