Capstone hits more copper-silver at Cozamin (November 25, 2005)

Vancouver – Underground drilling by Capstone Gold (CSG-T, CSGLF-O) on its Cozamin copper-silver-zinc project, in southern Zacatecas State, Mexico, continues to cut significant silver and copper grades.

Results substantiate the trend of increasing copper grades with depth in the deposit. Recent drilling of the Mala Noche vein at the San Roberto Mine Lower zone returned:

• Hole CG-05-U70 intersected 6.8 metres (true width) grading 113.7 grams silver per tonne and 4.5% copper;
• Hole CG-05-U72 cut 3.8 metres (true width) of 190.8 grams silver, 5.4% copper and 1.4% zinc, including a 1.9-metre interval averaging 219.6 grams silver and 8.5% copper; and
• Hole CG-05-U75 delivered a true width intercept of 5.6 metres grading 147.7 grams silver and 8.3% copper.

Mineralization in the Mala Noche vein structure remains open both east-west and down dip. Results from the current phase of underground drilling will be utilized in an updated resource calculation in 2006.

Capstone’s latest independent resource calculation on Cozamin reviews a measured and indicated resources of 3.4 million tonnes grading 73.5 grams silver, 1.7% copper, 1.4% zinc and 0.3% lead, at a 1.5% copper equivalent cut-off grade (equating to a contained metal tally of 129 million pounds of copper and 8 million oz. of silver). An additional 4.2 million tonnes grading 57.7 grams silver, 1.5% copper, 1.5% zinc and 0.3% lead was tabled as inferred resource (140 million pounds copper and 7.8 million oz. silver contained), using the same cut-off grade.
