Cotton & Western Mining, Inc. Mindoro Island Update
Thursday September 21, 12:00 pm ET


MANILA, PHILIPPINES--(MARKET WIRE)--Sep 21, 2006 -- Robert L. Cotton, President & CEO of Cotton & Western Mining, Inc. (Other OTC:CWRN.PK - News), announced today that mini diamond core drilling has started on the Mindoro Island iron deposits.

There are no roads into the mountainous area of Mindoro Island and work crews hiked two days for some 30 kilometers to reach the iron deposits located off the upper reaches of the Mamburao River. Drilling equipment and supplies were flown in by helicopter, and it is expected that the drilling activities will take approximately fifteen days to complete. Ten holes will drilled at each location to take core samples of up to eighty feet deep from each of the four main iron deposits of Nagsabongan, Dayap, Lasala and Lapaao mineral leases. The purpose of these activities is to confirm the previous geological survey and reevaluate the total estimated metric tons of reserves.

SGS Lab in Manila will conduct the chemical analysis and mineralization test from the core samples. Magnetometer surveys have revealed three additional deposits at the Nagsabongan site and two new deposits at the Dayap site, bringing the estimated total known iron mineral reserves to over 120,000,000 metric tons at an estimated FOB value of $5,400,000,000.00 and CIF China value of $8,160,000,000.00.

There are several steel groups who have shown strong interest in signing long term off-take agreements with Cotton & Western Mining, Inc. for the grade A magnetite iron minerals of Mindoro Island. The company does not wish to comment to any group until late October of 2006. Mr. Cotton is in Manila for a meeting on Friday afternoon with one large steel group from China, and will return to Mindoro Island on Saturday and be out of communication for ten days.

Upon completion of the chemical analysis one of the deposits will be chosen for immediate opening, and construction of the heavy haul access road will begin in October with an estimated rough cut finish completed in seventy days. Management has set a goal of making at least one small 15,000 metric ton shipment of magnetite lump before the end of December 2006 and is working diligently to this end.
