VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - May 31, 2011) - F.D.G. Mining Inc. (TSX VENTURE:FDG) ("FDG" or the "Company") announces that the Company has signed a diamond drill contract with R&R Drilling of Tegucigalpa, Honduras to drill a minimum of 1,800 metres on FDG's flagship Topacio gold concession in Nicaragua as part of its Phase 1 exploration program thereon. Mobilization of the drill rig and bulldozer will begin during the first two weeks of June with drilling expected to commence before the end of the month. Initially, the Company will be targeting infill drilling and confirmation as well as exploration for extensions immediately to the west of the known inferred resource on the Topacio vein. As previously reported (FDG News Release, May 18, 2011) Phase 1 trenching over the Topacio vein returned significant gold in 15 of 21 trenches over the vein including 17.0 metres of 9.4 g/t gold in trench FT11-024 and 18.5 metres of 8.3 g/t in trench FT11-026 that included an interval of 24.6 g/t over 5.0 metres.

After completion of a side car financing and the Company's recent Initial Public Offering (IPO) on May 10, 2011, the Company has approximately CDN$3.5 million in the treasury and is well funded to complete its Phase 1 exploration program on Topacio. The total cost of Phase 1 is estimated at $934,000. FDG continues to compile historical data, is selecting targets for further trenching and soil geochemistry in the known historical part of the property and is continuing to complete surface agreements with land owners in the outlying areas of the large (9,300 hectares) concession where new exploration targets have been identified. One new vein (Veta Gallina) has already been discovered north of the northern-most past producing vein in the historical vein district. Channel samples along a road cut returned encouraging results of up to 9.8 g/t gold over 2 metres. Further exploration is planned in this area in June and July.

A 16km. road is being constructed to the property and is now passable by four wheel drive vehicles. Upon completion, expected over the next month, the road will be all-weather allowing the Company to continue drilling and exploring through Nicaragua's rainy season from June to December. Contingent on the success of Phase 1 exploration at Topacio, the Company plans to start Phase 2 exploration as detailed in the Company's final prospectus at the beginning of the next dry season in January, 2012.
