High Grade Copper-Gold Discovery at Minto Mine

VANCOUVER, BC - Capstone Mining Corp. reported assay results from a new high grade copper-gold discovery, called "Wildfire", at its Minto Mine. The Wildfire discovery was made as a result of testing of an extensive geophysical anomaly detected during a deep penetrating IP survey being conducted over the Minto Mine property. Mineralized intercepts from three additional step-out holes, similar to the discovery hole, are being prepared for shipment to the assay lab and a third exploration drill is being sent to the mine to accelerate the assessment of this new discovery.
"The discovery of yet another high grade copper-gold zone reinforces the tremendous prospectivity of the Minto Mine property," said Stephen Quin, President. "Geophysics suggests that the Wildfire discovery could have a significant aerial extent, is relatively shallow, and the grades from the first hole are very encouraging. With three more mineralized intercepts within the geophysical anomaly, we have elected to bring in a third drill rig to rapidly assess the potential of this exciting discovery."
