Western Sierra Files for Arizona State Land Lease 

PRESCOTT, AZ - Western Sierra Mining Corp. has filed with the Arizona Department of State Lands to lease a mineral property in Skull Valley, Arizona.

The property is comprised of 430 acres located in the lower portion of Skull Valley, Yavapai County, Arizona. The property lies between two BLM claims controlled by Gold River Exploration and a significant piece of private property to the west. Western has also filed an Exploration Permit Application with the State on the property. Assuming the lease and the exploration permits are issued to Western, and we see no reason why they would not be issued, Western will utilize the opportunity to expand its exploration activities in and around the Skull Valley area. Westerns interest is both placer and hard rock gold. The company's address is 2750 Cisco Drive South, Lake Havasu City, AZ 86403, (928) 680-5513, fax: (928) 680-7066.
