Mesa Exploration Acquires Gold and Silver Projects

VANCOUVER, BC - Mesa Exploration Corp. reported that it has acquired a 100% interest in the Oatman gold and Belmont silver projects. The projects were purchased from American Bonanza Gold Corp. for $75,000. Bonanza retains a 3% NSR royalty, half of which can be purchased by Mesa for $2,000.000. Foster Wilson, president and CEO of Mesa Exploration said, "We are very pleased with this acquisition, both projects are highly prospective and are adjacent to historic productive mines. The Bounty potash project continues to remain the principal development project for the company where we are currently working towards securing drilling permits."

The Oatman Mining District lies in western Arizona and had continuous mining from 1864 through the 1930s. Mines in the district produced over 2 million ounces of gold with an average grade of 0.67 ounces of gold per ton, making it one of the highest grade gold mining districts in western North America. The property is located at the intersection of the two main productive veins in the Oatman Mining District. The project has 68 unpatented mining claims totaling 1,360 acres.

The Belmont Mining District is in central Nevada within the Walker Lane, a world class gold and silver province. Silver was discovered at Belmont in 1865 and produced approximately 15 million ounces of silver at bonanza grades, averaging 60 ounces of silver per ton, with some stopes grading over 250 ounces of silver per ton. The historically mined veins trend beneath alluvial cover, where exploration potential exists for the discovery of a high grade silver deposit. The project has 24 unpatented mining claims totaling 480 acres.

The company's address is Suite 1238, 200 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 1S4.
