Fortunate Sun Mining Company Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:FSM) (the "Company") is pleased
to announce that the Camacho and Pirelli projects 100% owned by the Company have
been returned to Fortunate Sun by Kinross Gold's Mexican Subsidiary, KG
Exploracion Mexico S.A de C.V. (KG) effective today, as Kinross has elected to
terminate the options.


Conditions of the two option agreements previously entered into (as disclosed in
the Company's prospectus dated October 18, 2011) provided that KG spend US$2.5
million on both projects over a 5 year period, beginning April 26, 2010. To
date, Kinross has cumulatively spent in excess of US$2 million on the projects,
which has produced significant technical data and information for the Company.
This work included several thousand meters of both diamond and reverse
circulation drilling programs.


This information is in the process of being organized and will be forwarded to
the Company sometime over the next several weeks.


Though Kinross has chosen not to proceed with the projects at this time, the
information generated by this extensive amount of work will go a long way into
investigating the future potential of the projects, either on an in-house basis,
or with other interested parties.


The company is also pleased to announce that final permitting is taking place at
its Golconda Gold project located in the State of Sonora Mexico, which is
currently under agreement with Minera Coplau S.A de C.V. of Hermosillo Mexico.
Approximately 2000 meters of diamond drilling is projected to commence sometime
in early Q1 2012.


Fortunate Sun Mining Company Ltd. is a junior mining exploration company with
early stage precious metals exploration projects in Mexico and British Columbia.
Fortunate Sun's principal property is the Golconda property consisting of two
mineral concessions (6,410 hectares) located in the State of Sonora, Mexico.


On behalf of the Board of Directors,
