Baja Achieves Key Milestone in Development of Manganese Metal Production at Boleo



VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - June 16, 2009) - Baja Mining Corp. (TSX:BAJ) today announces that a key milestone has been achieved towards manganese metal production at its Boleo project in Baja, Mexico.

Staff at the University of British Columbia's Hydrometallurgy Research Laboratory have successfully demonstrated that manganese metal can be manufactured from Boleo manganese carbonate using conventional hydrometallurgical processing steps. A sample of manganese carbonate produced during the 2006 demonstration pilot plant at SGS Lakefield was used as feedstock for the tests which were done under the supervision of Dr. Thomas Gluck, Baja's Manager Process Technology and Dr. David Dreisinger, Baja's Vice President-Metallurgy, a Qualified Person under NI 43-101. All technical results have been verified by Dr. Dreisinger.
