Copper Creek Gold Corp. is pleased to announce that the Company will soon commence a core drilling program on its Santa Lucia gold-silver project located 200 kilometres southeast of Hermosillo in Sonora, Mexico. Copper Creek may earn a 60% interest in Santa Lucia from Kootenay Gold Inc. (KTN-V) by spending $2,000,000.00 in exploration and making modest cash and share payments to Kootenay over a 4 year period. It is anticipated that drilling will begin in the second week of February, 2012.

Juanicipio: Preliminary 2012 Exploration Budget increased 89% over 2011 Preliminary Budget Cinco de Mayo: CM11-383 intersects 4.19 metres grading 183 g/t silver, 6.80% zinc and 12.3% lead

Catalyst Copper Corp. today announced an updated Measured plus Indicated Resource of 354.1 million tonnes grading 0.41% Cu; 0.043 g/t Au; 2.3 g/t Ag at its La Verde copper porphyry deposit in Michoacán State, Mexico. This represents a 71% increase in tonnage and 54% in contained copper over the previous resource released in January, 2011 (Table 1)

San Marco Resources has completed approximately 1625m of drilling at its 100% owned Tecomate property in Sinaloa State, Mexico. Exploration to date has focused on a 200 hectare area (Main Zone) of this 12,300 hectare property. The primary target area was the Los Hondidos Zone, where recent surface exploration indicated a 60 – 80m wide mineralized shear structure. This drill campaign is the first program to test the vertical extent of surface mineralization discovered by Company geologists over the last year. Tecomate is believed to be an intermediate sulphidation system, where gold, silver, zinc, copper and lead appear to be collectively important to potentially economic mineralization. Drilling in the Los Hondidos Zone indicates the shear structure is 80m wide, where drilling intersected it 80 -120m below surface. Three of five drill holes intersected significant mineralization in various parts of the structure. Preliminary analysis indicates a specific fault/feeder zone hosts higher grade mineralization which is flanked by parallel precious and base metal mineralization, and is open along strike and at depth. Drill intercepts are in oxide or mixed oxide/sulphide zones.

Guerrero Exploration Inc. is pleased to announce it has now successfully staked an additional 42,682 hectares of highly prospective land known as the Cibola property in the Guerrero Gold Belt.
