Net Income for the 7th Consecutive Quarter

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - Nov. 12, 2009) - MDN Inc. ("MDN")(TSX:MDN) today filed interim financial statements for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009. The Management and Discussion Analysis as well as the interim financial statements are available on the Company's web site at [ www.mdn-mines.com ] and on SEDAR ([ www.sedar.com ]).

The third quarter was marked by investments focused on the development of assets related to MDN's three sectors of activity, namely: gold production, gold exploration and the development of mining projects with strong growth potential. The gold production of the underground mine at Tulawaka has increased. The drilling programs at Tulawaka underground mine, as well as on the other properties under the control of MDN in Tanzania and in Quebec, have generated positive results. Taking advantage of the increase of activities and the favorable conditions of the gold market, MDN recorded net earnings for a seventh consecutive quarter, in spite of the unfavorable fluctuations of the foreign exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the American dollar and the increase of expenses related to its recent investments.

"We are satisfied with the third quarter results and we maintain our growth plan and our strong balance sheet. Our participation in numerous well targeted mining events has continued to create interest from key players in the financial markets" stated Paul-A. Girard, President and CEO of MDN.
