Overview

Tabisco Gold/Silver Project

StoneShield Capital Corp. has an option to earn a 100% interest in the Tabisco gold/silver project located in the Sonora, Mexico.

The Tabisco project covers approximately 2,153 hectares (22 km2) within the historic Cumobabi mining district and is located approximately 145 kilometres NE of Hermosillo in the Sonora State of Mexico. Tabisco is situated 45 km from the Santa Elena gold-silver deposit containing proven & probable reserves of some 340,000 oz of gold and 12,000,000 oz of silver (6.5Mt @ 1.6g/t Au and 57g/t Ag).

Three first-round diamond drill holes at Tabisco totaling 587.5 metres of core encountered the following intercepts in epithermal quartz veining:

·       TAB-DD-001 – 1.7m @ 22.0g/t Au & 332g/t Ag from 16.1m

·       TAB-DD-001 – 4.0m @ 4.0g/t Au & 144g/t Ag from 27.0m

·       TAB-DD-001 – 1.3m @ 5.8g/t Au & 849g/t Ag from 66.8m

·       TAB-DD-002 – 1.5m @ 1.7g/t Au & 66g/t Ag from 45.4m

·       TAB-DD-003 – 1.5m @ 1.7g/t Au & 114g/t Ag from 166.8m

The Tabisco property contains an extensive array of epithermal quartz veining connecting two areas of strong porhyry style alteration containing anomalous copper and molybdenum. The vein system, which outcrops sporatically over a 1 km strike length, has only had limited testing and remains open along strike and at depth.

Several shallow, old mine workings occur along the quartz veins where rock chip sampling has confirmed mineralization along strike, returning high grade gold and silver values, including:

 

·       MG – 0012 – 4.8g/t Au & 69.0g/t Ag

·       MG – 0013 – 11.0g/t Au & 655g/t Ag

·       MG – 0014 – 6.5g/t Au & 388 g/t Ag

·       122083  –  9.4 g/t Au & 298g/t Ag

StoneShield is planning an extensive summer 2010 program to test for mineralization along strike and at depth, and also to explore for new and previously undetected zones of mineralization.
