Baja Management Provides Boleo Update

VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - November 04, 2014) - Baja Mining Corp. ("Baja" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: BAJ) (OTC: BAJFF) is pleased to report that management had the opportunity to visit the Boleo Project on October 30 and 31, 2014. Management together with personnel of Minera y Metalúrgica del Boleo, S.A. P.I. de C.V. ("MMB") made a detailed tour of the surface and underground mining, the process plant and support facilities. Mining activities have resulted in stockpiled ore sufficient to feed the plant for more than one year. Plant commissioning of the main copper circuits is nearing completion with almost all circuits now operational. Ore is being fed through all components of the ore preparation circuit, including the primary crusher, stacker, reclaim system, scrubber and ball mill. The counter current decantation and solvent extraction circuits have also been commissioned for production. MMB management informed Baja that presently there are no foreseen obstacles standing in the way of reaching production. The current schedule provided by MMB management calls for the electrowinning plant commissioning to be completed shortly with production to start by the middle of November. Construction of the cobalt-zinc circuit is advancing and is expected to be completed before the end of the year. 

Surface mining continues, but at a slowed rate as stockpiles are approaching their capacity. Positive progress was also observed‎ in underground mining with new methods and equipment being tested in mine 303C. There are still significant challenges to be overcome in underground mining, which remains the anticipated source for higher grade ore. 

Baja management was advised that MMB's newly appointed COO, Mr. Sang Bum Lee, is expected to be based permanently at site from about the third week of November 2014.

"We are very impressed with the progress made in advancing the commissioning of the Boleo mine and process plant. On behalf of Baja and its shareholders, I wish to commend the MMB management and operating personnel for their extraordinary efforts and commitment to the construction and start-up of such a large and complex processing facility," said Tom Ogryzlo, Baja Interim CEO.
