Baja Mining Provides Annual Meeting Information

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - April 18, 2013) - Baja Mining Corp. ("Baja") (TSX:BAJ)(OTCQB:BAJFF) announces that its Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders will be held on Tuesday, June 25, 2013 in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

The Company has decided to use the "notice-and-access" model ("NAA") for the delivery of meeting materials to its shareholders. The implementation of the NAA, will allow Baja to reduce its printing and mailing costs and it will shrink the carbon footprint associated with printing and postal delivery.

The NAA was approved by the Canadian Securities Administrators and became effective on February 11, 2013. Under the NAA, instead of receiving paper copies of the meeting materials, shareholders will receive a notice of meeting ("the Notice"). Baja will mail the notice to all the security holders entitled to vote, which will include: (1) basic information about the meeting and the matters to be voted on; (2) the form of proxy or voting instruction form; (3) website addresses where the proxy-related materials are posted; (4) instructions details on how to obtain a paper copy of the information circular; and (5) a toll-free telephone number to request paper copies or obtain information about NAA.
