VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(CCNMatthews - July 10, 2007) - Quadra Mining Ltd. ("Quadra or Company") (TSX: QUA.TO) is pleased to announce that its 82% subsidiary, International Molybdenum Plc ("InterMoly"), has commenced the feasibility level studies required to make a development decision on the Malmbjerg project in Greenland. The budget through to the end of the study period is US$15 million with a completion target for the first half of 2008.

Work includes in-fill and geotechnical drilling, pilot plant testing of a bulk sample, environmental permitting applications, basic engineering and cost studies. Previous exploration identified an NI 43-101 compliant Measured and Indicated resource of 560 million pounds of contained molybdenum and the current in-fill program is designed to add drill density and convert some material previously categorized as waste to ore. The project team is on site and drilling is underway. A number of environmental consultants and engineers including staff from the Danish engineering company MTHojgaard, Wardrop Engineers and Knight Piesold are also actively working on the project.

Paul Blythe, President & CEO, comments, "The immediate objective going forward is to confirm the economics of the project, explore funding opportunities and to establish a development strategy. An updated NI 43-101 compliant Technical Report will follow this exercise and will allow us to firm up design criteria and optimise development and execution concepts."

The Malmbjerg project is located on the east coast of Greenland and is one of the highest grade molybdenum projects amenable to open pit mining that is currently being considered for development. The studies carried out by InterMoly before the acquisition proposed a conventional open pit operation with a production rate of approximately 23 million pounds per year of molybdenum commencing in 2011.
