CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - June 10, 2010) - Prize Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE:PRZ) announces the execution of a conditional agreement with Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. in which Eagle Plains has agreed to purchase from Prize Mining its remaining beneficial right, title and interest in the Yellowjacket project, including mineral and placer rights, and all equipment and infrastructure currently in place on the Yellowjacket mine site in exchange for a cash payment of CAD$400,000 and 2,000,000 common shares of Eagle Plains. Prize Mining will continue to benefit from any potential upside from the Yellowjacket project, which will have a simplified ownership and operating structure going forward, through its shares of Eagle Plains.

The transaction is subject to regulatory approval from the TSX Venture Exchange and must also be approved by Prize Mining shareholders at the Annual General and Special Meeting on July 13, 2010. The project is jointly owned by Prize and Eagle Plains and is currently operated by Eagle Plains through the purchase and joint venture agreement dated March 27, 2010 ("Yellowjacket JV").

The Board of Directors has undertaken a strategic review of the Company's present business, assets and prospects along with the options available to it outside of its present focus. The Board approved the Company's sale of its remaining interest in the Yellowjacket JV with a view to focusing the Company's financial and management resources on identifying and developing new opportunities.
