Cotton & Western Mining, Inc. Sets Daye Steel Contract Meeting for the 3rd and 4th of March, 2007

RICHMOND, TX -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 02/26/07

Cotton & Western Mining, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: CWRN) Robert L. Cotton, President & C.E.O. confirmed today that contract talks with China's Daye Steel will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, on the 3rd and 4th of March, 2007.

Daye Steel has asked for an increase in the original proposed off-take of iron ore fines, from 3,600,000 dry metric tons to 9,000,000 dry metric tons over a three-year contract term. The increase in production would not be a problem for CWRN; however, loading facilities at the Port of Wawa can not accommodate vessels larger than 15,000 DWT. The Company is currently looking at alternative means of loading larger volumes of materials. Offshore transfer loading is one possibility or putting into place a floating dock at 16 meters of draft, comprised of spud barges with a floating conveyer belt less than 200 feet in length. CWRN management hopes to have the problem solved before the end of this week.

If the company can put together a loading system capable of handling 300,000 dry metric tons per month; the estimated Free on Board (FOB) contract value would triple from $172,800,000.00 to near $518,400,000.00 over the 36-month contract term.

Iron Ore Fines will be mined from the company's magnetite rich Nagsabongan Iron Deposit's on Mindoro Island, the Philippines, where the average Fe content has been assayed at 67% Fe from the core drilling program that was completed in October of 2006. CWRN holds approximately one hundred and fifty million metric tons (150,000,000mt) of iron ore deposits on Mindoro Island, which include an estimated twenty-eight million metric tons (28,000,000mt) of high grade magnetite in the two (2) Nagsabongan Iron Deposits. The contract team from CWRN will be comprised of Robert L. Cotton, President & C.E.O together with Ms. Sharon Vazquez, Vice President, International Business and Mrs. Jinglan Cai Brinzer, B.E. of CAI Mineral Group, LLC.

CWRN has stated in an earlier news release that its Mindoro Island magnetite iron ore deposits are valued at near $6,000,000,000.00 at the current FOB market price.
