/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/ TORONTO, Feb. 13, 2012 /CNW/ - Further to its news releases dated November 22, 2011, December 21, 2011 and January 20, 2012 (collectively, the "Press Releases"), Karmin Exploration Inc. ("Karmin") is pleased to announce that it has received the final approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") of the previously announced acquisition of certain mining concessions in the Huamachuco Gold District of Peru.  The closing of the acquisition is expected to occur on or before February 15, 2012.  Karmin intends to issue a news release when the acquisition closes.  For more information of the acquisition, please see the Press Releases, which are available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com). In accordance with the policies of the Exchange, trading in the common shares of Karmin was halted on November 22, 2011 pending receipt and review by the Exchange of documentation relating to the acquisition.  The halt on the trading in the common shares of Karmin has now been lifted and trading will resume on February 13, 2012. About Karmin The common shares of Karmin are listed on the Exchange and trade under the symbol "KAR". The principal business of Karmin is to acquire and explore resource properties. Assuming the closing of the acquisition, Karmin's main project will become the Zona Cushuro project, located in the Huamachuco Gold District in the sierras of north-western Peru.  The Cushuro Mining Concessions cover a 25 square kilometre area, span an elevation range of 3,900 to 4,200 meters, and can be reached in four to five hours via well-maintained roads from the coastal city of Trujillo. Karmin owns 100% of the Aripuanã Gold-Silver Project which encompasses the gold and silver mineralization associated with the near surface oxidized portions of the numerous massive sulphide deposits in the 820 square kilometre Aripuanã Zinc Project located in north-western Brazil. Karmin owns 30% of the Aripuanã Zinc Project, one of the largest undeveloped zinc projects in Brazil. The Aripuanã Zinc Project covers a complete mineralized massive sulphide district, with five areas of mineralization (Ambrex, Arex, Babacu, Massaranduba and Mocoto) over a 25 kilometre strike length.  A technical report completed by AMEC International (Chile) S.A. (AMEC), a division of AMEC Americas Limited, in 2007 (available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com)) in accordance with National Instrument 43 - 101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects states that the Ambrex deposit has indicated resources of 18.3 million tonnes grading 4.0% zinc, 1.5% lead, 0.18 grams per tonne gold and 35.6 grams per tonne silver.  The Arex deposit has indicated resources of 9.4 million tonnes grading 2.5% zinc, 1.0% lead, 0.45 grams per tonne gold and 34.7 grams per tonne silver.  Votorantim Metais Zinco S/A owns 70% of the Aripuanã Zinc Project but assumes 100% of the project costs until the completion of a bankable feasibility study.
