ALBUQUERQUE, NM, Jan 12, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) — Lone Star Gold, Inc. /quotes/zigman/5448492 LSTG +22.07% (“Lone Star” or “the Company”) is pleased to provide a break-down of activities happening or due to happen surrounding Phase 1 of work on the 65% interest in the San Antonio del Potrero mine tailings project (“Tailings Project”).


The following activities currently underway are all necessary steps needed to be completed prior to processing the Tailing Pile and ultimately seeing revenue earned.


PHASE ONE ACTIVITIES:

— Lone Star Gold team currently on the ground in Hidalgo del Parral and
are finalizing an updated resource estimate and detailed report
regarding the San Patricio tailings pile. This is expected to be
finalized this coming week. The report will cover recent assays from
the entire pile at various depths and a surveyed estimate of the total
tons involved.
— The report will cover the location and details regarding the
construction of the processing plant scheduled to start before the end
of the year, including access to industrial power lines and an
eighteen-inch water source. Both utilities are located within 2
kilometers of the proposed plant location.
— All legal documentation involved with the formation of Mexican
operating companies has been filed and all formal agreements are
currently being finalized.
— The leaders of the surrounding Ejido (Native Band Leaders) have signed
off and agreed to the processing of the estimated 1.2 million tons.
— The processing plant in the city of Parral being used for rapid start
up is prepared to start receiving a minimum of 100 tons per day
expected February 1st.
— Security, office, trucking and labor are currently being sourced in
the City of Parral and Lone Star expects to have a full team in place
for Feb. 1 (Parral has a long mining history which started over 350
years ago during the Spanish occupation. During that time, Parral was
considered the Silver Mining Capital of the world).


Lone Star’s President, Daniel Ferris, commented: “We believe the new assay results will show higher base metal content the deeper we go into the pile. Our team estimates the bottom of the pile was processed over 100 years ago. Technology at the time was missing up to 50% of the precious metals, therefore we are very excited to move forward and commence processing.”


According to information provided to Lone Star by the current owners, the project represents a resource of 1.2 million tons of mine tailings.
