Marengo Mining Limited Announces Price of Equity Financing

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 19, 2010) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Marengo Mining Limited ("Marengo" or the "Company") (TSX:MRN)(ASX:MGO)(POMSoX:MGO) is pleased to announce that in connection with its previously announced best efforts offering on November 18, 2010 (the "Offering"), it has priced the offering. The effective price per ordinary share of the Company offered under the Offering is C$0.25 (the "Effective Price").

Each Unit consists of one ordinary share (an "Ordinary Share") of the Company and one subscription receipt (a "Subscription Receipt"). Upon receipt of shareholder approval required pursuant to the listing rules of the Australian Securities Exchange (the "Release Condition"), each Subscription Receipt will be automatically converted into one ordinary share of the Company.

Pending satisfaction of the Release Condition, that portion of the proceeds received in respect of the Subscription Receipts (the "Escrowed Proceeds") will be held in escrow. In the event that the Release Condition is not satisfied within 35 days following receipt for the final prospectus, the Escrowed Proceeds, plus interest thereon, will be returned to the holders of the Subscription Receipts.

The Company has also granted Paradigm an over-allotment option (the "Over-Allotment Option") to purchase up to such number of additional Subscription Receipts at the Effective Price as is equal to 15% of the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares and Subscription Receipts issued pursuant to the Offering. Subscription Receipts issued upon exercise of the Over-Allotment Option will only be converted into the underlying Ordinary Shares upon satisfaction of the Release Condition and on the same terms and conditions of the Offering.

The net proceeds from the Offering will be used to advance the Company's district exploration program at the Yandera copper-molybdenum-gold deposit located in Madang Province, Papua New Guinea (the "Yandera Project"), as well as for permitting and other pre-construction expenditures relating to the Yandera Project, and for general corporate and working capital purposes.

The Offering is scheduled to close on or about December 7, 2010 and is subject to the approval of the Australian Securities Exchange, the Toronto Stock Exchange and applicable securities regulatory authorities.

The ordinary shares have not been registered and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), or any state securities laws. Accordingly, the ordinary shares may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons (as such terms are defined in Regulation S under the 1933 Act) unless registered under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from the registration requirements is available.
