UnitedMines -Competition

July 30, 2010

We are a mineral resource exploration company. We compete with other mineral resource exploration companies for financing and for the acquisition of new mineral properties. Many of the mineral resource exploration companies with whom we compete have greater financial and technical resources than those available to us. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquisitions of mineral properties of merit, on exploration of their mineral properties and on development of their mineral properties. In addition, they may be able to afford more geological expertise in the targeting and exploration of mineral properties. This competition could result in competitors having mineral properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may finance additional exploration. This competition could adversely impact our ability to finance further exploration and to achieve the financing necessary for us to explore our mineral properties.

United Mines Background

We were originally incorporated under the name Plae, Inc., in the State of Arizona on August 20, 1999. At the time we operated under the name Plae, Inc., no business was conducted. No books or records were maintained and no meetings were held. In essence, nothing was done after incorporation until Glenn E. Martin took possession of Plae, Inc. On February 18, 2005, the corporate name was changed to King Mines, Inc. and then subsequently changed to its current name, United Mines, Inc., on March 30, 2005. No shares were issued until the company became United Mines, Inc.

We are an exploration stage mineral exploration company and have been in the mining industry since May 2005, when we began doing business in the mining industry. An exploration stage company is one engaged in the search for mineral deposits or reserves which are not in either the development or production stage. We currently own four groups of mining claims. These groups include one primary silver exploration & development mining project, seven gold exploration stage mining projects, three copper exploration stage projects, and one placer gold exploration stage project, all in Arizona, USA. To date we have no assurance that commercially viable mineral deposits exist on any of the properties we own or where we have mineral rights. Further exploration, at a significant cost to us, will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility of the properties is determined. If this evaluation determines that some of the properties do have mineral deposits we will have to spend substantial funds for their drilling and engineering studies before we will know if we have a commercially viable mineral deposit (a reserve).

UNITED MINES, INC.

July 24, 2010

We are an exploration stage mineral exploration company and have been in the mining industry since January 2005, when we began doing business. An exploration stage company is one engaged in the search for mineral deposits or reserves which are not in either the development or production stage. We currently own four groups of mining claims. These groups include one primary silver exploration & development mining project, seven gold exploration stage mining projects, three copper exploration stage projects, and one placer gold exploration stage project, all in Arizona, USA.

If this evaluation determines that some of the properties do have mineral deposits we will have to spend substantial funds for their drilling and engineering studies before we will know if we have a commercially viable mineral deposit (a reserve). The phases of mining and the exploration process is discussed in detail below.

In addition, we are currently evaluating other mineral rights opportunities with a view to diversifying our activities through the acquisition of additional mineral rights and entering into other business ventures our management believes will provide value to our shareholders. We are not currently in active negotiations with any third parties regarding additional mineral rights opportunities or expanding into other business ventures.

Our objective is to explore the properties where we currently have mineral rights, and if those properties show the possibility of minerals being present, to mine the minerals for potential sale on the open market.

We intend to grow through mineral exploration of our existing mineral rights, as well as obtaining additional mines in locations we believe show a high probability of mineral reserves. We will be focusing our future exploration activities on properties located in the State of Arizona.

In October, 2005, Glynn A. Burkhardt and Glynn G. Burkhardt, our current Senior Vice President and Emeritus Chairman of the Board, respectively, transferred the rights and interests they held in 23 mining claim to us, by quitclaim deed, in exchange for 3,600,000 shares of our common stock (See Exhibit 10.4 Quitclaim Deeds).

In March and April 2005, we obtained 3 state “exploration permits” from the state of Arizona, which are renewable on an annual basis for a maximum of 5 years. The “exploration permits” are the precursor to obtaining a lease from the state, but leases cannot be obtained until we either conduct exploration for a year on the properties or show economic feasibility.

Part 2 -United Mines Introduction

July 17, 2010

United Mines currently holds over 25 separate federal and state mining claim groups in the Cerro Colorado mountains in southern Arizona southwest of Tucson in areas known as Silver Hill, the Clark Mine and Mary G Mine Groups. The company’s silver holdings encompass three square miles of Arizona State Land Department exploration permits and some 500 acres of federal Bureau of Land Management mining claims. Historic mines on UMI’s property produced silver and gold from 1856 to 1981, with shaft workings extending to depths of 350 feet. Recent independent assays of samples taken from mineralized structures in the area range from 1.6 oz/t to over 480 oz/t silver and up to 1.5 oz/t gold. “Our silver projects offer excellent potential for producing both high-grade silver and significant tonnages of lower grade oxide ore,” says UMI COO Glynn Burkhardt.UMI has also staked three potentially significant copper deposits, that also include molybdenum, tungsten, platinum and palladium mineralization:

  • The Blue Copper Mine Group Project – located in southern Arizona and discovered in the early 1900s by prospectors searching for silver and gold. It was later mined for high grade copper and silica smelter flux with shipment assays commonly averaging 3.5% to 5% Cu. Geologic studies in the 1970s estimated a resource of 223-750 million pounds of copper.
  • The Green Copper Mine Group Project – discovered in the mid-1880s and located about eight miles south of the Blue Copper Mine Group. Initially mined for high grade silver occurring in narrow veins, the area’s copper potential was overlooked until in the late 1960s.
  • The Red Bed Group Project – located halfway between the Green Copper and Blue Copper Mine Groups and discovered in 1954. Mineralized structures identified at surface extend over 8,000 feet, are up to 3,500 feet in width, and reach to depths of between 1,500 and 1,800 feet on the Green Copper alone. UMI is planning to acquire additional properties in the area as funding becomes available.

Western Mining History and Mining Exploration and Management Expertise Blend in Unique Company

United Mines’ history began not in November, 2009 when the company began trading, but in 1539 when the then Spanish Viceroy of Mexico sent the first of several expeditions into Arizona in search of Cibola – the legendary “Seven Cities of Gold”.Glynn G. Burkhardt, United Mines’ founder, began his mining career at an early age when his father took him placer mining in the Sierra Madre mountains. He would similarly introduce his son, Glynn A. Burkhardt, to mining. Over the years, the Burkhardts identified, analyzed and acquired claims and leases encompassing over a dozen past-producing historic mines that make up United Mines current portfolio of mining properties Today, Glynn A. Burkhardt is Senior Vice President, Chief Operating Officer and a Director of United Mines. The entire United Mines management team encompasses over 225 years of combined mining industry experience. The company began publicly trading in November 2009 at an impressive share price of more than $5.00 – unusual for a new start-up. The company’s stock closely held is believed to be one of the lowest amounts of outstanding stock in a U.S. precious metals mining company. “Our stock issuance views are ultra-conservative in growing shareholder value,” says Martin. “UMI started its 6% stock dividend program for 2010 on March 31 to give back to investors who support us from the start.” United Mines was co-founded in 2005 by President, CEO and Chairman Glenn E. Martin, who brings extensive management and marketing experience to the company. Martin previously was Executive Director of the World Trade Center, Tucson, a subsidiary of the former Twin Towers in New York City. The company’s CFO, Robert Leitzman, also serves as a Vice President and Director. He is an independent consultant specializing in all aspects of mine management and precious and ferrous metal processing. His expertise also includes mine start-up, planning, budgeting, and cost controls.“United Mines has the experience and talent to commence successful mining operations and to maximize shareholder value, year after year,” says Leitzman.

Investment Considerations

United Mines President and CEO Glenn E. Martin has set a bold and ambitious goal for his company: to become a world leader in the discovery, exploration, exploitation, development, production, refinement and sales of precious metals. The company is actively seeking additional acquisitions and is working toward obtaining a listing on the AMEX.Cash flow is expected to be generated within the next two years from processing stockpiled material. The company also plans an intensive program of sampling, drilling and geochemistry to prove up additional high-grade mineralization suitable for open pit mining.UMI plans to fast-track its projects through feasibility and into production. As additional reserves are identified, the company’s heap leach processing plant will be expanded to increase pad capacity to about 550,000 tons. The fully permitted plant recently passed its Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) inspection, clearing the way for start-up operations.“Having a permitted heap leach facility capable of economically treating low-grade ore places UMI in a unique start-up position far advanced from many other junior exploration stage mining companies,” declares UMI Chairman Glenn E. Martin. “Our goal is become an emerging mid-tier, production-stage silver producer within three years.For More Information Please visit. http://www.unitedmines.com/

Part1- United Mines Introduction

July 15, 2010

United Mines, Inc. is developing its 100%-owned silver, gold and copper exploration projects encompassing nearly 4,000 acres in an historically mineral-rich area of southwestern Arizona. The company currently holds six advanced-stage exploration projects, including two silver, three gold and one copper property, as well as several high-quality, early-stage silver, gold and copper exploration projects. The La Colorada twin plant facility, with gravity float & a heap leach processing systems, fully permitted by the BLM & ADEQ, will enable the company to jump-start production while developing resources through future exploration. “Our objective is to explore properties with the highest potential for the discovery of economic mineralization and to quickly bring those deposits from feasibility to production,” explains United Mines President, CEO and Chairman Glenn E. Martin. “We expect UMI to move quickly from exploration to limited production on the Cerro Colorado Silver Project.”

Targeting Investors in China and Hong Kong

In an effort to more quickly advance its objection of beginning production, United Mines recently announced it intends to enter the Hong Kong marketplace where it hopes to attract resource partners and investors. Alan W.C. Ma, Esq., of Hawaii, will lead a team of professionals tasked with structuring investment vehicles for eventual listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange’s Growth Enterprise Market (GEM). Mr. Ma is native of Hong Kong and has been a practicing attorney for 26 years in Hawaii. He has been listed in “Best Lawyers in America” since 1993, is licensed to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court and the Hawaii Supreme Court, and served as Hawaii’s Trade Representative in Hong Kong and China.In support of Mr. Ma’s efforts, United Mines is joining the World Trade Center organizations in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Hong Kong. As a participant in the Hong Kong-US Business Forum in Hawaii, UMI Chairman Martin is actively reaching out to partners and potential investors to promote doing business with China. UMI also has joined the Hong Kong Trade Development Council and participates with the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office’s InvestHK programs. The company also recently expanded its Advisory Council to include legal, diplomatic and corporate experts with experience in China.

UMI Embraces Green Mining Policies

United Mines’ strategic planning is focused on building a unique company dedicated to protecting the environment with emerging green mining policies, as well as meeting U.S. Industry 7 standards technical standards as it develops its properties.“United Mines plans to embrace and develop cutting edge technologies to become a leading eco-friendly American miner,” says Martin.The company has more than 45,000 tons of mineralized material, consisting of silver independently assayed in side cast mine dumps, that is above ground and ready for transport to UMI’s 100%-owned and fully permitted La Colorada twin plant processing and milling facility. The mill site is located in the midst of UMI’s silver properties, within hauling distance of the company’s gold projects, is close to paved roads and has a water supply on site. As funding becomes available, UMI will fast-tracking exploration projects to feasibility and production. Immediate plans include modifying and upgrading the existing high grade ore processing mill and heap leach facility. The mill will have an initial capacity of 100+ tons per day, while the heap leach circuit will have a total initial capacity of 50,000 tons.
