TORONTO, Ontario, September 9, 2010 - New Dawn Mining Corp. (TSX: ND) ("New Dawn" or the "Company") announced that after less than one month of entering into a loan facility to supply Central African Gold Plc ("CAG") with up to US$2.0 million to support CAG�s gold mining operations in Zimbabwe, the Old Nic and Dalny mines have transitioned from care and maintenance to resumption of gold production.

New Dawn, which acquired an investment consisting of an approximately 89% controlling interest in CAG in June 2010, is in the process of finalizing a detailed strategic review of the portfolio of gold mining assets owned by CAG in an effort to achieve its target of consolidated annualized gold production of 50,000 to 60,000 ounces of gold within 18 to 24 months and 100,000 ounces of gold within 4 to 5 years. New Dawn�s corporate objective is to become a mid-tier gold producer with 200,000 to 250,000 ounces of annualized gold production based on existing assets currently owned and operated in Zimbabwe.

CAG controls two Zimbabwe domiciled companies, Falcon Gold Zimbabwe Limited ("Falgold") (84.7% owned by CAG) and Olympus Gold Mines Limited ("Olympus") (100% owned by CAG).

The Old Nic Mine:

The Old Nic mine, which is part of Olympus, currently employs 197 people, and since production resumed in early August 2010, it has produced 110 ounces of gold (98 attributable ounces). New Dawn, through its 89% controlling ownership interest in CAG, owns an 89% controlling interest in the Old Nic mine.

The Dalny Mine Complex:

The Dalny mine, which is part of Falgold, employs 232 people, and since production resumed in early August 2010, it has produced 124 ounces of gold (93 attributable ounces). New Dawn, through its 89% controlling ownership interest in CAG, owns a 75% controlling interest in the Dalny Mine Complex.

The Dalny mine complex has a strike length of over 15km. Historical production at Dalny mine up to 2006 was 2.44M ounces of gold from 10.2M tonnes of mineralized material grading approximately 7.42 g/t.

New Dawn believes that there is an opportunity over the next several years to develop a number of open-pit, medium-grade bulk mining operations within the greater Dalny shear zone. The Dalny mine property is under-explored and offers a substantial medium to long-term development opportunity.

About New Dawn Mining �

New Dawn is a Zimbabwe-focused junior gold company currently expanding gold production at its Turk and Angelus Mines, exploring for gold, and identifying and pursuing other development projects in Zimbabwe.

New Dawn owns and operates the Turk and Angelus Mines in the upper southwest area of Zimbabwe that has the potential to produce an estimated 35,000 to 50,000 ounces of gold per annum. New Dawn owns the property outright on which these mines are located.

New Dawn is currently developing a revised and updated strategic business plan in light of its acquisition of a controlling interest in CAG, with a view towards reaching consolidated annualized gold production of 50,000 to 60,000 ounces within the next 18 to 24 months, increasing to 100,000 ounces within four to five years, and then ultimately to 200,000 to 250,000 ounces.

Additionally, the Company is reviewing and assessing CAG�s extensive portfolio of exploration properties in Zimbabwe for future investment and development.

New Dawn�s plans with respect to CAG�s assets and operations will be developed and implemented taking into account New Dawn�s ongoing discussions with and submissions to the Zimbabwe authorities.
