PROXY STATEMENT

August 20, 2007

To Our Shareholders:

This proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of Metalline Mining Company (the “Company”) of proxies to be used at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”) to be held at the offices of our corporate counsel, Burns, Figa & Will, P.C., 6400 South Fiddlers Green Circle, Suite 1000, Greenwood Village, Colorado, 80111 on Friday, September 21, 2007, at 10:00 a.m. local time, and at any adjournments or postponements thereof. The Meeting is being held for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders. This Proxy Statement, the accompanying proxy card and the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders (collectively, the “Proxy Materials”) are first being mailed to shareholders beginning on or about August 20, 2007.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Solicitation

The enclosed proxy is being solicited by the Company’s Board of Directors. The costs of the solicitation will be borne by the Company. Proxies may be solicited personally or by mail, telephone, facsimile or telegraph by directors, officers and regular employees of the Company, none of whom will receive any additional compensation for such solicitations. The Company will reimburse banks, brokers, nominees, custodians and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in sending the proxy materials to beneficial owners of the shares.

Voting Rights and Votes Required

Holders of shares of Metalline Mining Company common stock (the “Common Stock”), at the close of business on Thursday, August 2, 2007 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting. On the Record Date, 38,623,103 shares of Common Stock were outstanding. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share.

The presence, in person or by proxy, of holders of one-third of the shares outstanding as of the Record Date constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting. In the event there are not sufficient votes for a quorum or to approve any proposals at the time of the Meeting, the Meeting may be adjourned in order to permit further solicitation of proxies. Abstentions will count towards quorum requirements.

As to the election of directors under Proposal One, the proxy card being provided by the Board enables a shareholder to vote for the election of each of the nominees proposed by the Board, or to withhold authority to vote for one or more of the nominees being proposed. Directors are elected by a plurality of votes cast, without respect to either (i) broker non-votes, or (ii) proxies as to which authority to vote for one or more of the other nominees being proposed is withheld.

With respect to Proposal Two, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy is required to approve the proposal. A shareholder may: (i) vote “FOR” the proposal, (ii) vote “AGAINST” the proposal, or (iii) “ABSTAIN” with respect to the proposal. Proposal Two shall be determined without regard to broker non-votes or proxies marked “ABSTAIN” as to each matter.

The proposed corporate actions on which the shareholders are being asked to vote are not corporate actions for which shareholders of a Nevada corporation have the right to dissent under the Nevada General Corporation Law.

Shares of Common Stock represented by all properly executed proxies received at the Company’s transfer agent by Tuesday September 18, 2007 will be voted as specified in the proxy. Unless contrary instructions are indicated on the proxy, the shares of Common Stock represented by such proxy will be voted “FOR” the slate of directors described herein; and “FOR” Proposal Two as described herein. Management and the Board of Directors of the Company know of no other matters to be brought before the Meeting other than as described herein. If any other matters are properly presented to the shareholders for action at the Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof, the proxy holder named in the enclosed proxy intends to vote in his discretion on all matters on which the shares of Common Stock represented by such proxy are entitled to vote.

The giving of the enclosed proxy does not preclude the right to vote in person should the shareholder giving the proxy so desire. A proxy may be revoked at any time prior to its exercise by (i) providing notice in writing to the Company’s corporate secretary that the proxy is revoked; (ii) presenting to the Company a later-dated proxy; or (iii) by attending the Meeting and voting in person.

Meetings of the Board and Committees

Board of Directors

The Company’s Board of Directors held thirteen meetings during the Company’s year ended October 31, 2006, and ten additional meetings through August 2, 2007. Such meetings consisted of unanimous consent Directors’ minutes signed by all Directors and actual meetings at which all of the Directors were present in person or by telephone. The Company does not have a formal policy with regard to board members’ attendance at annual meetings, but encourages them to attend shareholder meetings.

Audit Committee

The Company has a separately designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. The following persons serve on our audit committee: Wesley Pomeroy and Robert Kramer. Mr. Pomeroy and Mr. Kramer are each “independent” as that term is defined in Section 121A of the American Stock Exchange listing standards and in Item 407(a) of Regulation S-B. Mr. Kramer is the financial expert for the audit committee. See “Management” for information about Mr. Kramer’s relevant experience.

The Audit Committee was formed on May 1, 2006 and therefore held only one meeting by unanimous written consent during the year ended October 31, 2006. However, the Audit Committee has held three formal meetings during the current fiscal year. All of the members attended the meeting in person or by telephone. The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee. The audit committee charter is available on our website at www.metalin.com.

Prior to October 24, 2006, the Company did not have any standard arrangements pursuant to which the Company’s directors are compensated for services as directors. The following director compensation was adopted effective October 24, 2006.

The independent directors of the Company are compensated $7,500 per fiscal quarter, plus 9,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock per fiscal quarter for their services. In addition, they have been and may be compensated with discretionary stock option grants. No pension or retirement benefit plan has been instituted by the Company and none is proposed at this time. There is no arrangement for compensation with respect to termination of the directors in the event of change of control of the Company.

The Company does not have any standard arrangements pursuant to which the Company’s non-independent directors are compensated for services as directors.

Other Arrangements

During the fiscal year end October 31, 2006, the Company compensated the following directors, who are not Named Executive Officers, for their services as directors as follows:

To Wesley Pomeroy, (i) options to purchase 250,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.59 per share, expiring on May 1, 2016; (ii) $35,000 cash; and (iii) 42,000 shares of Common Stock, which were issued subsequent to fiscal year-end.

Repricing of Options

None.

INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

The Audit Committee selected the independent accounting firm of Williams & Webster, P.S. with respect to the audit of our financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2006. A representative of Williams & Webster is not expected to be present at the Annual Meeting.

Audit Fees. Our principal accountant, Williams & Webster, P.S., billed us aggregate fees in the amount of approximately $44,585 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006 and approximately $21,647 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005. These amounts were billed for professional services that Williams & Webster, P.S. provided for the audit of our annual financial statements and the review of the financial statements included in our report on 10-KSB.

Audit-Related Fees. There were no fees billed by Williams & Webster, P.S. for audit-related services rendered during fiscal years ended October 31, 2006 and 2005.

Tax Fees. There were no fees billed by Williams & Webster, P.S. for tax services rendered during fiscal years ended October 31, 2006 and 2005.

All Other Fees. There were no other services provided by Williams & Webster, P.S. during fiscal years ended October 31, 2006 and 2005.

Audit Committee’s Pre-Approval Practice

Section 10A(i) of the Exchange Act prohibits our auditors from performing audit services for us as well as any services not considered to be “audit services” unless such services are pre-approved by the audit committee of the Board of Directors, or unless the services meet certain de minimis standards. The audit committee’s charter (adopted May 1, 2006 and amended December 5, 2006) provides that the audit committee must:

•

Pre-approve all audit services that the auditor may provide to us or any subsidiary (including, without limitation, providing comfort letters in connection with securities underwritings or statutory audits) as required by §10A(i)(1)(A) of the Exchange Act (as amended by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002).

•

Pre-approve all non-audit services (other than certain de minimis services described in §10A(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act (as amended by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002)) that the auditors propose to provide to us or any of our subsidiaries.

The audit committee considers at each of its meetings whether to approve any audit services or non-audit services. In some cases, management may present the request; in other cases, the auditors may present the request. The audit committee did not pre-approve any of the audit related fees for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, because the Audit Committee was not formed until May 1, 2006. The Audit Committee approved the audit related fees after they were incurred.

PROPOSAL ONE
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors is nominating the four current Directors for reelection to serve for a one year term or until their successors are elected and qualified.

Nominees for Election of Directors

The persons named in the enclosed form of Proxy will vote the shares represented by such Proxy for the election of the four nominees for Director named below. If, at the time of the Meeting, any of these nominees shall become unavailable for any reason, which event is not expected to occur, the persons entitled to vote the Proxy will vote for such substitute nominee or nominees, if any, as they determine in their sole discretion. If elected, Merlin Bingham, Roger Kolvoord, Wesley Pomeroy, and Robert Kramer will each hold office a term of one year, until their successors are duly elected or appointed or until their earlier death, resignation or removal.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the election of Messrs. Bingham, Kolvoord, Pomeroy and Kramer. Unless otherwise specified, the enclosed proxy will be voted “FOR” the election of the Board of Directors’ slate of nominees. Neither Management nor the Board of Directors of the Company is aware of any reason which would cause any nominee to be unavailable to serve as a Director.

PROPOSAL TWO
APPROVAL OF SHAREHOLDERS RIGHTS AGREEMENT

On June 11, 2007, subject to obtaining shareholder approval, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a Rights Agreement and declared a dividend distribution of one right (“Right”) for each outstanding share of Common Stock payable to shareholders of record on June 22, 2007. The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Rights Agreement.

The Rights Agreement is designed to deter coercive or unfair takeover tactics, to prevent a person or group from gaining control of the Company without offering fair value to all shareholders and to deter other abusive takeover tactics which are not in the best interests of the shareholders.

Terms of the Rights Agreement

Shareholders of record on June 22, 2007 are entitled to a dividend distribution of one Right for each share of Common Stock held by such shareholders on such date. Each Right, when exercisable, entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company shares of Common Stock at a discount. The description and terms of the Rights are set forth in a Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”) dated as of June 11, 2007, between the Company and OTC Stock Transfer, as Rights Agent (the “Rights Agent”).

Initially, the Rights will be attached to all certificates representing shares of Common Stock then outstanding, and no separate certificates evidencing the Rights will be distributed. The Rights will separate from the Common Stock and a distribution of Rights Certificates (as defined below) will occur upon the earlier to occur of (i) 10 days following a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons (an “Acquiring Person”) has acquired beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Stock Acquisition Date”) or (ii) 10 business days (or such later date as the Board of Directors of the Company may determine) following the commencement of, or the first public announcement of the intention to commence, a tender offer or exchange offer the consummation of which would result in the beneficial ownership by a person of 20% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the earlier of such dates being called the “Distribution Date”).

Until the Distribution Date, (i) the Rights will be evidenced by the Common Stock certificates, and will be transferred with and only with the Common Stock certificates, and (ii) the surrender for transfer of any certificates for Common Stock outstanding will also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with the Common Stock represented by such certificate.

The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date and will expire at the close of business on (i) June 11, 2008 if the Company’s shareholders do not approve the Agreement before that date; or, if the Agreement is approved, (ii) on June 11, 2017, unless such date is extended, the Rights Agreement is terminated, or the Rights are earlier redeemed or exchanged by the Company as described below. The Rights will not be exercisable by a holder in any jurisdiction where the requisite qualification to the issuance to such holder, or the exercise by such holder, of the Rights has not been obtained or is not obtainable.

As soon as practicable following the Distribution Date, separate certificates evidencing the Rights (“Rights Certificates”) will be mailed to holders of record of the Common Stock as of the close of business on the Distribution Date and, thereafter, the separate Rights Certificates alone will evidence the Rights. Except as otherwise determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, only shares of Common Stock issued prior to the Distribution Date will be issued with Rights.

In the event that a Person becomes the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock, except pursuant to an offer for all outstanding shares of Common Stock which the Directors determine to be fair to and otherwise in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders (a “Qualifying Offer”), each holder of a Right will, after the end of a redemption period referred to below, have the right to exercise the Right by purchasing, for an amount equal to $20 per Right (the “Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment, Common Stock (or, in certain circumstances, cash, property or other securities of the Company) having a value equal to two times such amount. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, following the occurrence of the events set forth in this paragraph, all Rights that are, or (under certain circumstances specified in the Rights Agreement) were, beneficially owned by any Acquiring Person will be null and void. Rights are not exercisable following the occurrence of the events set forth above until such time as the Rights are no longer redeemable by the Company as set forth below.

For example, at a Purchase Price of $20 per Right, each Right not owned by an Acquiring Person (or by certain related parties) following an event set forth in the preceding paragraph would entitle its holder to purchase $40 worth of Common Stock (or other consideration, as noted above) for $20. Assuming that the Common Stock had a per share value of $10 at such time, the holder of each valid Right would be entitled to purchase four shares of Common Stock for $20.

In the event that at any time following the Stock Acquisition Date, (i) the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction (other than a merger that follows a Qualifying Offer), or (ii) 50% or more of the Company’s assets or earning power is sold or transferred, each holder of a Right (except Rights which previously have been voided as set forth above) shall, after the expiration of the redemption period referred to below, have the right to receive, upon exercise, common stock of the acquiring company having a value equal to two times the Purchase Price of the Right (e.g., common stock of the acquiring company having a value of $40 for the $20 Purchase Price). At any time after a person or group of affiliated or associated persons becomes an Acquiring Person and prior to the acquisition by such person of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, the Board of Directors of the Company may exchange the Rights (other than Rights owned by such person or group which have become void), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one share of Common Stock (or, in certain circumstances, other equity securities of the Company that are deemed by the Board of Directors of the Company to have the same value as shares of Common Stock) per Right (subject to adjustment).

The Purchase Price payable, and the number of Common Stock or other securities or property issuable, upon exercise of the Rights are subject to adjustment from time to time to prevent dilution under certain circumstances.

With certain exceptions, no adjustment in the Purchase Price will be required until cumulative adjustments require an adjustment of at least 1% in such Purchase Price. No fractional shares will be issued and in lieu thereof, an adjustment in cash will be made based on the market price of the Common Stock on the last trading date prior to the date of exercise.

In general, the Board of Directors of the Company, may cause the Company to redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at any time during the period commencing on June 11, 2007 and ending on the tenth business day following the Stock Acquisition Date (the “Redemption Period”) at a price of $0.01 per Right (payable in cash, Common Stock or other consideration deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company) (the “Redemption Price”). Under certain circumstances set forth in the Rights Agreement, the decision to redeem the Rights will require the concurrence of a majority of the Board of Directors. After the Redemption Period has expired, the Company’s right of redemption may be reinstated if an Acquiring Person reduces his beneficial ownership to 10% or less of the outstanding shares of Common Stock in a transaction or series of transactions not involving the Company and there are no other Acquiring Persons. Immediately upon the action of the Board of Directors of the Company ordering redemption of the Rights, the Rights will terminate and the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the $0.01 Redemption Price.

Until a Right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have no rights as a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends. While the distribution of the Rights will not be subject to federal taxation to stockholders or to the Company, stockholders may, depending upon the circumstances, recognize taxable income in the event that the Rights become exercisable for Common Stock (or other consideration) of the Company or for common stock of the acquiring company as set forth above.

Except with respect to the Redemption Price of the Rights, any of the provisions of the Rights Agreement may be amended by the Board of Directors of the Company prior to the Distribution Date. After the Distribution Date, the provisions of the Rights Agreement may be amended by the Board of Directors of the Company in order to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or to make changes which do not adversely affect the interests of holders of Rights (excluding the interests of any Acquiring Person), or to shorten or lengthen time period under the Rights Agreement; provided however, no amendment to adjust the time period governing redemption may be made at such time as the Rights are not redeemable.

Anti-Takeover Effect

The Rights have certain anti-takeover effects. The Rights will cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire the Company without conditioning the offer on a substantial number of Rights being acquired, or in a manner or on terms not approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Rights, however, should not deter any prospective offeror willing to negotiate in good faith with the Board of Directors of the Company, nor should the Rights interfere with any merger or other business combination approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.

The foregoing description of the Rights and the Rights Agreement between the Company and the Rights Agent does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Rights Agreement.

Vote Required and Recommendation of Board

Proposal Two requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of shares entitled to vote at the Meeting. The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” this proposal.

ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS

Included with this Proxy Statement is the Company’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended October 31, 2006 and the Company’s Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended April 30, 2007.

OTHER MATTERS

Management and the Board of Directors of the Company know of no matters to be brought before the Meeting other than as set forth herein. However, if any such other matters properly are presented to the shareholders for action at the Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof, it is the intention of the proxy holder named in the enclosed proxy to vote in his discretion on all matters on which the shares represented by such proxy are entitled to vote.
