First Bauxite Announces Signing of Mineral Agreement With the Government of Guyana for Its Bonasika Bauxite Project and the Receipt of Environmental Permit to Mine the Bonasika 6 & 7 Deposits

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/29/11 -- First Bauxite Corporation (TSX VENTURE: FBX)(FRANKFURT: FBI)(BERLIN: FBI) ('First Bauxite' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce that it has signed a bilateral mineral agreement (the 'Mineral Agreement') between the Government of Guyana and the Company and its local operating subsidiary, Guyana Industrial Minerals Inc., for the operation of the Bonasika Bauxite Project (the 'Bonasika Project') in Guyana, South America. The Company is also pleased to announce that it has received its Environmental Permit, to mine the Bonasika 6 & 7 bauxite deposits.

Signed November 24, 2011 at a ceremony at the Office of the President in Georgetown, Guyana, the Mineral Agreement details the terms and conditions which govern all fiscal, property, import-export procedures, taxation provisions and other related conditions for the continued exploration, mine development and operation for the life of the Bonasika Project.

The Key terms of the Mineral Agreement which, are similar to terms for existing operations in the bauxite sector in Guyana, include:

--  a mining royalty of 1.5% on the FOB bauxite product sales price;
--  no withholding taxes on interest payments to lenders and on dividends;
    and
--  duty and value added tax exemptions on all imports of equipment and
    materials for all continuing operations at Bonasika, including the
    construction and operation of a planned port facility, road and power
    improvements and the construction and operation of the mine.

On November 25, 2011 the Company received an Environmental Permit from the Environmental Protection Agency of Guyana to mine the Bonasika 6 & 7 bauxite deposits and to haul and process the bauxite ore at the Sand Hills sinter plant complex. The Bonasika 6 & 7 deposits are the two new deposits added to the ore reserve base of the Bonasika Project and the subject of the recently announced NI 43-101 Technical Report - Bankable Feasibility Study Update ('BFSU') filed on SEDAR on November 18, 2011.

The Company currently holds a Mining License (the 'BML') over the Bonasika 1, 2 and 5 deposits and a Prospecting License (the 'WCPL') over the Bonasika 6 & 7 deposits. Both the BML and WCPL are in good standing and wholly-owned by the Company. Mining operations are now planned to commence on the Bonasika 7 deposit.

The Company has now submitted an application to the Guyana Geology & Mines Commission (the 'GGMC') for a Mining License covering the Bonasika 6 & 7 deposits. As part of this application, submission of the BFSU, which includes the Mining Plan for the Bonasika 6 & 7 deposits, and the Environmental Permit, fulfills all requirements of the GGMC and the Company expects to receive its Mining License in the very near future.

'The signing of this Mineral Agreement demonstrates the commitment of the Government of Guyana to the development and operation of the Bonasika Project and we thank the Government for their efforts in completing these negotiations,' stated Hilbert N. Shields, CEO. 'Together with the completion of the BFSU and receipt of the Environmental Permit, all of which are major operational milestones for the Company, FBX has a clear mandate to advance the Bonasika Project forward by securing financing, building and operating the mine and become a productive contributor to the Guyana economy.'
