Ardent Mines Receives Permit to Start Exploration Program at
Misty Hills (Serra do Sereno) Project in Carajás, Brazil

Samples at Misty Hills return positive results for gold and silver plus a significant grade for copper

New York, NEW YORK – August 23, 2012– Ardent Mines Ltd. (OTCQB: ADNT) (the "Company" or "Ardent Mines"), a precious resources exploration, development, and mining company focused on advancing its two gold properties in Brazil, announced that the Brazilian National Department of Minerals Production completed the legal procedures required to transfer exploration rights of the Misty Hills property to Ardent Mines, and that its Brazilian subsidiary, Gold Hills Mining Ltda., received a definitive exploration permit from the Ministry of Mines and Energy allowing the Company to commence its exploration program.

Mr. Luciano Borges, President of Gold Hills Mining Ltda. and President of Ardent Mines Ltd., commented, “Misty Hills is located within one of the premier mining districts in Brazil, well known worldwide for hosting significant iron, copper and gold deposits.  New discoveries are still being made in the area and many mines are currently under construction.  We look forward to commencing our exploration campaign at Misty Hills and reaching the same level of advances that have been made at our other property, Serra do Ouro (“Gold Hills”), where drilling is starting this week.”

Misty Hills is a highly mineralized area of 9,000 Hectares located in the Carajás Mineral Province, State of Para.  The property was initially prospected by Anglo American Brasil Ltda. which identified important gold and copper anomalies, forming a trend with a 23 km footprint.

The Misty Hills exploration activities are under the final planning stage, and the Company has three to six years under applicable authorizations to conclude the exploration work.

Mr. Borges, commenting on the results of sample tests completed at Misty Hills, stated, “The potential of the area was confirmed by a chemical analysis obtained from two rock samples collected during our due diligence period.  The tests provided positive results for gold and silver, as well as a high copper grade exceeding the detection limits of the standard analytical method used to test the samples.”  

The rock samples at Misty Hills were completed by Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd., Vancouver, British Columbia, an IS0 9001:2008 accredited facility.
