Huakan International Mining Inc. (TSX VENTURE:HK) (the "Company") reports that
the Company has entered into an amended and restated letter agreement ("Amended
Agreement") with Mineral Invest International MII AB, a company listed on
Aktietorget in Sweden under the stock symbol MII ("Mineral Invest"), Gold Crown
LLC ("Gold Crown") and AMT Industries Canada Inc. ("AMT"), Gold Crown's wholly
owned subsidiary (collectively, the "Purchasers") to amend the terms of a letter
agreement entered into by the Company, Gold Crown and AMT on August 7, 2012 in
respect of the sale by the Company of the Greenwood Gold Project (see the News
Release of the Company dated August 8, 2012).


Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Agreement, Mineral Invest will guarantee
the performance by Gold Crown and AMT of the following:




1.  pay an amount to the Company sufficient to replace the Company's
    reclamation bond on the Greenwood Gold Project which amount the Company
    shall pay to the Government of British Columbia in order to release the
    security (currently approximately $450,000) that was posted by the
    Company;
    
    
2.  cooperate with the Company to execute and deliver a Safekeeping
    Agreement with the Government of British Columbia, which relates to the
    reclamation security to be provided to the Government of British
    Columbia by Gold Crown and AMT;
    
      
3.  pay to the Company the amount of $4,000,000 which represents the balance
    of the purchase price for acquisition of the NSR; and 
    
    
4.  pay a total of $400,000 in extension fees, consisting of a fee of
    $200,000 to extend certain deadlines under the third amendment (dated
    February 6, 2013) to the letter agreement dated August 7, 2012 among the
    Company, Gold Crown and AMT, and a fee of $200,000 to further extend
    such deadlines under the Amended Agreement.  



The Purchasers must complete all of the above by no later than 3 p.m. (Pacific
Standard Time) on the earlier of June 10, 2013, and the date that is five
business days after either Mineral Invest or Gold Crown complete a financing of
at least $11,000,000. 


Despite the delay in receiving the full payment, the Company did receive
$530,000 from the Purchasers in January and in addition to receiving $624,568
refund from the Canada Revenue Agency related to the 2011 Mineral and
Exploration Tax Credit (METC) in March, there is sufficient cash on hand for the
Company's general and administrative expenses and for advancing the J&L Gold
Project metallurgy testwork planned for 2013.
