Win-Eldrich Mines Limited (WEX-TSXV) today announced that at its annual meeting of shareholders held on June 25, 2009, Mr. Peter Winn was elected a director. Mr. Winn, based in Colorado, has been a consulting geologist to the Corporation for many years and has been associated with the Ashdown property for over twenty years.

Following the precipitous decline in the price of molybdenum oxide last fall, operations at the Ashdown property were halted and placed on a care and maintenance basis. As a result of the recent increase in molybdenum oxide prices to the US$10.00 per pound range, and completion of the purchase of the remaining interest in Ashdown, some employees have been recalled and limited mining and milling operations have recommenced.

As previously announced, in May, 2009, the Corporation's wholly-owned subsidiary, Win-Eldrich Gold, Inc. completed the acquisition of the remaining interest in Ashdown Project LLP for US$5.3 million, paid by issuing a limited recourse secured promissory note in this amount. Since then, the Corporation has been working to establish management and financial systems at Ashdown. Payments on the note do not commence until next April.

Current production at Ashdown is being sold to offshore purchasers. It is hoped that receipts from current sales will be sufficient to maintain limited production while past claims arising from the mine's operations and shut down last year are settled; however, there can be no assurance that current limited production will continue. The recent increase in the world price of molybdenum oxide may not be sustainable.

On June 25, 2009, the Corporation granted options to purchase 25,000 shares at $0.16 each to each of the four current Directors and options to purchase 75,000 shares at $0.16 each were granted to each of the six key Ashdown Project LLP employees, including Perry Muller, CEO of the Corporation, and Jeff Gall, CFO. Perry Muller, CEO, stated that he welcomed long time associate Pete Winn to the Board and hoped that limited production at Ashdown could continue in order to settle all outstanding claims and return Ashdown to cash positive status.
