Winnipeg, Manitoba - July 6, 2010 (Investorideas.com Mining Stocks Newswire) - Wildcat Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V:WEL) is pleased to announce that it has mobilized two exploration crews to its gold projects in the Rice Lake greenstone belt of Manitoba. In addition, on the Reed Lake project in the Flin Flon Snow Lake greenstone belt of Manitoba the Company's geologists identified two significant areas for further work in preparation for a planned drill program in the 2010/11 winter drilling season.


The Company is conducting work on its 100% owned Mike Power property, located 3 km northwest of the town of Bissett, MB. The Company's geologists are mapping structures and utilizing the results of an airborne magnetic survey, completed in June, to identify potential undercover gold-bearing structures. Wildcat's current work program, which will continue through July, is intended to identify targets for drilling later in the year. The property is on strike with the gold deposits of San Gold Corporation and shares similar host rocks and structures. A drill program is currently being conducted by StrikePoint Gold Inc. and San Gold on ground between the Company's Mike Power project and the San Gold deposits.

Concurrently, a second exploration team is following up previously announced gold and copper occurrences on the Company's Garner property. An airborne geophysical survey of the property, completed by Wildcat in June, has identified conductors associated with known copper mineralization for ground followup. The property is located 40 km southeast of Bissett near former gold producers including the Gunnar and the Central Manitoba mines. The property straddles the area between the West Garner shear zone to the east, which is an important metamorphic boundary, and the Beresford Lake shear zone to the west which is characterized by intense host rock alteration.
Commenting on the Rice Lake projects, Tom Lewis, Wildcat's V.P. Exploration, said, "Following on the successes by San Gold and coupled with our recently acquired airborne data base, our geological mapping team is well-positioned to track gold-bearing structures and identify new depositional sites for drill testing later in 2010."
The 100% owned Reed Lake Project, situated 35 km southwest of the town of Snow Lake, Manitoba, is underlain by volcanic and intrusive rocks belonging to the Flin Flon - Snow Lake greenstone belt. Geophysical data suggest that these rocks trend onto the Reed Lake Project along strike from the Rail copper-zinc deposit of Rockcliff Resources Inc. and the Wine nickel-copper mineralization of Cream Minerals Ltd., both types of which have distinctive conductive signatures. This positions the Reed Lake Project to host either or both deposit types.

Wildcat's recent work program, which included mapping, sampling and surface geophysical surveys with a focus on favourable host rocks and alteration associated with either copper-zinc or nickel-copper mineralization, was cut short by forest fire activity in the general area. In the abbreviated work program a target area was identified near a sample taken in 2008 that assayed 1.58% copper in a shear zone (see news release dated September 23, 2008). Hosting the mineralization are volcanic rocks consisting of volcanoclastic rhyolites, andesites and tuffs, which are known to host volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits in Flin Flon and elsewhere. In addition, chlorite alteration was mapped in association with the copper mineralization. Chlorite represents an important indicator alteration mineral associated with the hydrothermal activity (pipes) that introduce copper and zinc sulphides in a VMS deposit.

A second area hosted in gabbroic rocks on the western portion of the property was found. This area holds potential for nickel-copper-platinum group elements mineralization. Channel samples were cut from the rocks exhibiting blebby and disseminated sulphides which will be submitted for analysis.

The Company recently staked additional claims on the northeast flank of the property, increasing the total area to 8,037 hectares in 43 contiguous claims. The planned geological mapping and sampling on the new claims will be carried out in a second Reed Lake program in the third quarter of 2010.
Tom Lewis commented, "We are pleased that our work on the Reed Lake Project has identified favourable geological features including host rocks and alteration essential to the deposition of base metals in an area with known copper mineralization. This work has narrowed our search and the next phase, planned for the third quarter, will involve an electromagnetic survey to test the favourable areas, with winter drilling contingent on the survey results."
Wildcat's exploration program is being managed by Tom Lewis, B.Sc. P.Eng., a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. All technical information in this release has been reviewed by Tom Lewis, B.Sc. P.Eng., as the Qualified Person.

Investorideas.com - Mining Stocks; YALE (TSX-V: YLL) ANNOUNCES THE START OF GEOPHYSICS AT GUADALUPE

Visit this company: www.yaleresources.com

July 6, 2010 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks Newswire) - Yale Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: YLL and Frankfurt: YAB) is pleased to announce that the next phase of field work has started at the wholly owned Guadalupe property, located in the heart of the Fresnillo district, on behalf of partner Gold American Mining Inc. (OTC – SILA, previously Silver America Inc.).


The field program underway will include seventeen line kilometres of geophysics (Induced Polarization and Magnetics) as well as additional detailed sampling and mapping. This second phase of exploration is expected to last 3 weeks.

Yale's Mexican staff has recently acquired additional geological data for the Guadalupe property and surrounding area. This data indicates that additional historical workings exist within the property that have not been visited or sampled by Yale to date. Along with the geophysics these new areas will be a focus of this next phase of exploration.
The Guadalupe Property:

The 282.84 hectare Guadalupe Property is located approximately 4 kilometres north of the city of Fresnillo, Zacatecas State, Mexico. The property is approximately 8 kilometres north of the Fresnillo (Proaño) Mine, the world's richest underground silver mine operated by Fresnillo plc. The property is also approximately 11 kilometres northeast of the Juanicipio Joint Venture between MAG Silver Corp. and Fresnillo plc.
The Property contains greater than 20 known workings as well as two historic mines –Santa Rita and San Antonio. Historic records containing references to the Santa Rita and San Antonio mines suggest that both mines were important and reached their height of production between 1910 and 1920 but were last in production in the 1980's. The property is completely surrounded by land controlled by Peñoles (either through Fresnillo or other subsidiaries and partners).
Highlight results from the first phase exploration program were (see news release dated May 13, 2010):

1.00 g/t Au and 946.9 g/t Ag over 1.1m
including 1.83 g/t Au and 1,800.0 g/t Ag over 0.5 m
0.30 g/t Au and 622.0 g/t Ag from a mineralized dump
0.59 g/t Au and 330.0 g/t Ag over 0.7 m
5.35 g/t Au and 1,189.0 g/t Ag from a mineralized dump

Status of Option Agreement:
Gold American has committed to the next period of the Guadalupe option; Yale has received US$20,000 cash as well as an additional 100,000 shares in the Gold American.
To earn a 90% interest Gold American is required to pay Yale US $ 900,000 cash ($40,000 received), spend US $ 2,000,000 on exploration expenditures and issue 1,000,000 shares to Yale (200,000 received) in staged payments over four years. Yale will act as the operator for the project. The minimum work commitment before June 30, 2011 is US $ 400,000 including a minimum of 2,000 metres of drilling. Should the earn-in be completed Yale will retain a 10% participating interest in the property as well as a 2% NSR, which can be bought out in entirety for US $ 2,000,000.

About Yale Resources:
Yale Resources is an exploration and development company concentrating in northwestern Mexico that is building value through project generation. Yale has three of its seven properties optioned out to value added partners. These agreements combine for minimum commitments of approximately US $1,100,000 of exploration expenditures over the next 12 months. Yale continues to work on its non-optioned properties as well as reviewing new projects with a focus on gold.
Samples from the Guadalupe property were prepared and analyzed by Stewart Labs in their facilities in Mexico and Kamloops, respectively. Samples generally consisted of 1-3 kg of material. Gold and silver analyses were performed by 30 gram fire assay with an AA finish. Samples with greater than 100 g/t silver were re-assayed using gravimetric methods.

Ian Foreman, P.Geo., is Yale Resources’ Qualified Person, as defined by National Instrument 43-101, for the Guadalupe property. The Guadalupe property is an early stage project with no reported resources that requires additional sampling and geological mapping to fully determine the project’s potential.

July 1, 2010 – (Investorideas.com mining stocks newswire) www.InvestorIdeas.com and its leading mining investor portals, issue the following commentary on Soltera Mining Corp. (OTCPK: SLTA FRANKFURT: SN7) as prepared by Lisa Springer, CFA.


Lisa Springer, CFAEquity research analyst and financial writer

Soltera Mining Secures Strategic Partner and Additional Funding

A key hurdle for many cash-strapped junior mining companies is securing funding for exploration and production activities. Soltera Mining reported a major accomplishment this month with the announcement of $1.5 million in financing and a new strategic partnership. Soltera is partnering with Italian-owned Goldlake Group, which has agreed to provide $1.5 million in financing over the next 12 months and up to $6 million to support development of alluvial gold production at Soltera's El Torno property in Argentina and complete test work on major gold targets.

The agreement is a win/win scenario for both partners since it enables Soltera to further explore and develop its flagship El Torno gold project and Goldlake to lock in new ethical gold supplies from alluvial production.

Goldlake Group is majority-owned by Gold Holding, the family holding company of Franco Colaiacovo, a founder of Italy's third-largest cement company. Through an operating subsidiary, Goldlake holds gold exploration and exploitation concessions encompassing over 10,500 hectares in the Lepaguare Valley of the central Honduras. Goldlake is a leading producer of ethical gold from alluvial deposits and differs from other mineral companies in its commitment to socially and environmentally responsible mining practices. Goldlake's alluvial gold deposits in the Honduras are worked using a cyanide-free extraction process and a zero waste and water management system. In addition, Goldlake ensures complete control over how its ore is mined and sold through an unbroken supply chain from extraction to the end customer. Its commitment to environmentally-friendly mining has been recognized by upscale jeweler Cartier, who has contracted with Goldlake to be an ethical gold supplier.

The financing will consist of three tranches. The first tranche will be released this month and used to pay the annual lease on the El Torno property and to update regulatory filings. A second tranche will be paid before the end of October and is allocated for test work on the alluvial gold as well as six major gold targets. A third tranche will be paid before June 30, 2011 and fund the completion of these objectives. Goldlake reserves the right to opt out of the three tranches if bulk sampling indicates non-economic gold grades, but this seems unlikely given profitable alluvial gold operations under the previous title holder, who ceased work only because of ill health.

Test work on the alluvial gold deposits will begin in September with bulk samples being sent to international assay labs. The analytical data from this test work will be used to optimize the processing plant design. Assuming favorable test results, gold production could begin before the end of 2010.

Soltera owns the rights to mine gold-bearing surface deposits at the El Torno property, which is located in northern Argentina near the Bolivian border. El Torno was explored by Mexican mining conglomerate Penoles (BMV: PE&OLES) in the late 1990s. Penoles estimated gold resources in just one kilometer of the 14 kilometer gold-quartz vein of at least half a million ounces and potentially exceeding two million ounces based on its drilling samples. There are also smaller veins of dispersed gold near the main system and elluvial deposits embedded in gold bearing bedrock found at relatively shallow depths. Soltera plans to develop the elluvial deposits first since these are easily accessible and relatively inexpensive to process.

Based on Penoles' resource estimates and current $1,200 per ounce gold prices, the value of El Torno gold in one kilometer of the 14 kilometer vein could potentially range from $600 million to well over $2 billion. However, Penoles' estimates are based on a limited number of drilling samples, so actual resources could differ materially from their estimates. Geochemical surveys completed in 2008 indicate the gold vein is mineralized throughout its entire length, suggesting the potential for a mega-deposit of gold at El Torno. Current sampling and testing work being performed by Soltera should help update and refine El Torno resource estimates.

Soltera obtained surface mining rights to El Torno this year and had planned to commence production from alluvial deposits in the spring, but lacked sufficient funding to proceed. The capital infusion by Goldlake enables the start-up of surface mining operations. Soltera plans to use cash flow raised through elluvial gold sales to further explore larger underground and open-pit targets, where the majority of El Torno gold is likely located. Exploration efforts will initially focus on the upper 100 meters of the target areas and commence with geophysical prospecting and drilling.

About Soltera Mining Corp. (OTCPK: SLTA FRANKFURT: SN7):Soltera Mining Corp. is a unique exploration company in the sense that it is following two distinct lines of action. The first is conventional, with exploration concentrated on two carefully selected gold and base metal projects in Argentina, particularly the large-scale El Torno gold project in Jujuy. The second, less conventional action is to finance immediate small-scale gold production from a specific section of the 14 km gold-quartz vein at El Torno.

Investorideas.com - Mining Stocks; YALE (TSX-V: YLL) AMENDS TERMS FOR DOS NACIONES OPTION

Investorideas.com - Mining Stocks; YALE (TSX-V: YLL) AMENDS TERMS FOR DOS NACIONES OPTION

Visit this company: www.yaleresources.com
June 30, 2010 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks Newswire) - Yale Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: YLL and Frankfurt: YAB) is pleased to announce that it has agreed to amend its Option Agreement for the Dos Naciones property with partner Del Toro Silver Corp.


Based on the amended terms Del Toro has agreed to issue Yale 150,000 shares in addition to the 200,000 shares as required on or before the first anniversary date of July 7th, 2010 (with all shares subject to the applicable hold periods required by Securities Regulators). Pursuant to the terms of the amended option agreement, Del Toro is required to accrue the $150,000 of expenditures required in the first year of the deal into the second year and therefore has agreed to fund a minimum of $400,000 of expenditures prior to the second anniversary - July 7th, 2011.

Year three obligations of $400,000 of expenditures, the issuance of 250,000 shares on or before July 7th, 2011 and a further 350,000 shares on or before July 7th, 2012 will not change. If Del Toro completes these obligations they will have earned an additional 30% interest to hold an 80% undivided interest in the Dos Naciones property.
The Company has been notified by Del Toro that they intend to continue their work program at Dos Naciones in July. This work is planned to include detailed mapping, trenching and sampling at both the Mina Josefina silver-lead zone and the La Española skarn zone with the goal to delineate drill targets. In addition to planning the upcoming work program, the Company is investigating the opportunity of purchasing detailed exploration data, including drill holes and geophysics from the previous owner of Dos Naciones, Industrias Peñoles.

The Dos Naciones Property:
The 2,391 hectare (23.91 square km) Dos Naciones property is located approximately 160 km northeast of Hermosillo in the heart of Sonora’s porphyry district. Dos Naciones was staked by Yale as the property has the potential for a porphyry-style target. This is evidenced by multiple skarn bodies and silver/lead vein systems occurring in association with a regional magnetic anomaly that measures 2 km in diameter and is coincident with a poorly exposed intrusive body.
About Yale Resources:

Yale Resources is an exploration and development company concentrating in northwestern Mexico that is building value through project generation. Yale has three of its seven properties optioned out to value added partners. These agreements combine for minimum commitments of approximately US $1,100,000 of exploration expenditures over the next 12 months. Yale continues to work on its non-optioned properties as well as reviewing new projects with a focus on gold.

Investorideas.com - Mining Stocks; Tombstone Exploration's (OTCBB:TMBXF) Hi-Tech GeoPhysical Program Has Commenced

Visit this company: www.tombstonemining.com

PHOENIX, Ariz. - June 30, 2010 (Investorideas.com Mining Stocks Newswire) - Tombstone Exploration Corporation (OTCBB:TMBXF) announced today that the Company has contracted Geotech Ltd. of Ontario, Canada to fly an airborne Z-Axis Tipper Electromagnetic (ZTEM) on its Tombstone, Arizona property. ZTEM was selected for its ability to achieve unparalleled resolution and depth of investigation. The system is well suited to imaging buried porphyry deposits and is capable of gathering data over 6,000 feet (2 kilometers) below ground surface. Geotech arrived at the Tombstone property on Monday, June 28, 2010.


The airborne ZTEM survey will be over 200 line miles and will cover most of the Tombstone district. The data will be interpreted to provide targets for a giant, high-grade porphyry copper - gold deposit that can be mined by open pit or block caving mining methods. Tombstone is situated 25 miles north of the historic Bisbee porphyry copper mine. There are numerous exploration programs ongoing in the region for porphyry copper deposits.
The project is situated 150 miles southeast of the Resolution deposit, which is currently being explored by Rio Tinto, and is reported to contain an Inferred Resource of 1.34 billion tonnes containing 1.51% copper and 0.04% molybdenum. The Tombstone project has two major intrusions (granodiorite and porphyry) underlain by sediments that could host a Resolution style deposit.


Alan Brown, CEO of Tombstone, commented, "The ZTEM is the most advanced technology available for discovering ore bodies at depth. To understand this technology further, please view www.geotech.ca. This technology is used by many of the major mining companies in their exploration programs."
Geotech Ltd. provides full service contract airborne geophysical surveys, data processing and data interpretation. At the present time, Geotech Ltd. offers VTEM (helicopter-borne time-domain electromagnetic), ZTEM and AirMt (measure natural alternating magnetic fields in the audio-frequency range), magnetic, magnetic gradient and gamma-ray spectrometer surveys. Geotech Ltd. operates nine VTEM systems in North America and world-wide, a total of 30. Their clients are mainly from the mineral and petroleum exploration industries. The proprietary, large dipole moment VTEM system, in the six years since its first commercial survey, has become the airborne system of choice by the exploration community. A number of exploration successes have been attributed to VTEM surveys by the exploration companies.
Tombstone Exploration Corporation (TMBXF) is focused primarily on exploration and development of mineral resources. Tombstone Exploration Corporation has the mineral rights to approximately 14,000 acres of historical mining land in the areas around Tombstone, Arizona and is the largest landholder in the Tombstone Mining District.

Investorideas.com - The Time Is Nigh For AMI (TSX.V: AMU) In West Africa


Visit this company: www.amiresources.com

By James West and Claire O'ConnorMidasletter.com
June 29, 2010
(Investorideas.com Mining Stocks Newswire) In West Africa, nestled amongst Anglogold Ashanti (NYSE:AU), Newmont Mining (NYSE:NEM) and Goldfields (NYSE:GFI), lies BC based junior AMI Resources (TSX.V: AMU). With animpressive land package in mining friendly Ghana and on-going drill results released from land adjacent to gold-producing Semafo (TSX:SMF) in Niger, AMI is inching closer to being a possibletake over target.

The 3 Best Gold Picks for 2010
Regarding ounces, the company has already proven up 327,000 ounces of gold in Ghana and 130,000 ounces in Niger. In January of this year AMI entered into an option agreement withNewmont Mining under which Newmont has the right to earn an initial 51% interest in the 126 sq km Anuoro License by spending US$2 million in work expenditures and property payments duringthe first 3 year period.
The Anuoro License brings with it another 100,000 ounces of gold not yet included in the National Instrument 43-101 report, propelling AMI's ounce count to an impressive half a million.

The Sirba Story
Although more established in Ghana, having spent 13 golden years exploring there, it's AMI's Sirba Gold Projects in Niger that are garnishing all the attention at the moment.
In September 2009, AMI entered into an option agreement with Golden Star Resources Ltd. (TSX:GSC) whereby AMI has the right to earn a 51% interest in Golden Star's Sirba properties byspending US$1,500,000 over a three year period, with a minimum US$250,000 to be spent inyear one. After the initial earn-in, both parties will enter into a Joint Venture agreement.
The Niger properties include the 550 km2 Deba and the 372 km2 Tailkam licenses, both of which border Semafo's Samira Hill mine to the northeast and southwest. The Samira Hill mine consists of several satellite deposits and has been in operation since 2004, with remaining reserves of631,000 ounces and a 1,293,000 ounce measured/indicated resource.

Several gold anomalies on both the Deba and Tialkam properties have been identified duringprevious exploration programs; Barrick Gold Corporation (TSX, NYSE: ABX) conducted a drillingprogram in 1998 and 1999, which was followed up by St-Jude Resources in 2004 and 2005. Golden Star Resources conducted the most recent exploration program in2007 and 2008.


Results
AMI began drilling on the properties in February 2010 and has struck gold on all the targetedzones. According to a press release issued on May 4th, the most recent results from the company's 25 hole initial drill program are as follows:
"On the Tialkam License, eight reverse circulation holes totalling 808m were drilled at theCongo Toure and Tialkam South prospects. The holes drilled at Congo Toure confirm thepresence of gold mineralization in volcanic rocks associated to the gabbroic complex.
The drill holes at Tialkam South, with intersections of 24m at 3.08 grams per tonne, haveconfirmed the mineralization from the historic drill holes, while the intersection of 8m at 1.08 grams per tonne in TSR004 has extended its continuity over 300m to the north east. Two fence lines of RC holes are proposed to confirm the extension along this trend. On the Deba License, seventeen RC holes totalling 1,375m were drilled at Deba Village, Kokoloukou and Sefa Nangue, three of the known prospects on this license. The mainobjective of this program was to confirm and extend the gold mineralization identified inhistoric drill holes.


In the Deba village prospect, soil geochemistry has identified clusters of gold anomalies within an area of approximately 2km in diameter where trenching and drilling encounteredgold mineralization.


At Sefa Nangue the RC drilling encountered several narrow gold intersections, someranging from 10m to 18m. The core drilling in the mid nineties by JapanIntergovernmental Agency (JICA) also intersected a multitude of quart veins oriented EW. JICA reported an NI43-101 non-compliant resource of 2.4 m tons grading 2.06 gramsper tonne gold (137,000 ounces) from 5,126m of core drilling."
AMI Happy And Hopeful
"Our first drill program has returned excellent results and with such a large land packagesurrounding Semafo's Mine we look forward to expanding the gold resources in this area," comments Dustin Elford, AMI President and Director "We've confirmed there are so far 8 targetzones on Deba and another 4 target zones on the Tialkam concession so we have lots ofpotential to find several satellite depsoits on these licenses."


The weather in Niger has been wet, and blessed as that is for the dry soil of Africa, it means nomore drilling for AMI for until after the rainy season. The company is obliged to put drilling on hold there, but work continues at Sirba.
"It's the rainy season in Niger right now and there aren't a lot of bridges to cross the river, so drill rig access is impossible." Elford explains, "But we're still working at Sirba. We've been doing some trenching, some pitting and some drill pad preparation. We expect to beback with the drill program in late August, early September."


Back to Ghana
Meanwhile in Ghana, AMI expects Newmont to commence drilling on the Anuoro license by the3rd quarter of this year. The Anuoro Concession is part of the North Ashanti Gold Project in south-central Ghana and covers approximately 15 km of strike on the highly gold prolific Ashanti trend. With a current National Instrument 43-101-compliant near surface resource of over 327,000 ounces and several additional identified gold zones the North Ashanti Gold Project has the potential for a multi-million ounce gold deposit
Strategically situated on the prolific Ashanti Trend, the project is surrounded by three gold mines: the Konongo Mine adjoins its northern border, the Anglo Gold Ashanti, ± 40 million ounce ObuasiMine is located approximately 50 km to the southwest and Newmont's Akyem deposit (± 8 millionoz ), permitted for 500,000 ounces per year of production, is just 25 km to the southeast.
With Newmont obliged to spend a minimum of US$550,000 in work expenditure and propertypayments in the first year of the Anuoro License agreement, AMI's expectations of drilling before year end are well founded.


Exploring in Africa
When MidasLetter.com asked Elford how exploration in Africa was going for them, the answerwas unequivocally positive.
"Well Ghana is actually pretty stable. A lot of the major companies are there – Newmont, Goldfields, Golden Star, Redback (TSX:RBI) ... There are a lot of mid-tier companiesalready operating mines in Ghana. Niger is new to the gold industry because there's only one producing gold mine in Niger and that's Semafo's Samira Hill. That's been in production since 2004 and Semafoe has just announced that they're going to spend another 19 million dollars in upgrading the mill and on equipment etc… So it looks pretty favourable for AMI, considering we control all the ground on the gold mineralized trend onboth sides of Semafo's mine."
Essentially, regarding Semafo, what this means for AMI is if they find an economic ore body, theycan either make a deal with Semafo to mill the ore or they could simply be bought out by Semafo. Semafo has just raised US$100 million and rumor has it that they have US$50 million solely fornew acquisitions. The way AMI sees it, should Semafo Samira Hill mine run out of ore, AMI is thenext stop on the property train.


The Time Is Nigh for AMI
With a share price ranging from CA$0.08 to CA$0.12, AMI regard themselves as highlyundervalued, and considering the ounces already proven up, the ratio of funds raised to ouncesfound and the company's large land position amoungst the producers, they could be right. If youwant in on AMI, now may be the time to investigate their potential.

Investorideas.com - Mining Stocks; YALE (TSX-V: YLL) SAMPLES 2.70 g/t AU AND 529.8 g/t AG OVER 2.10m – IDENTIFIES ANOTHER NEW ZONE AT OROFINO

Investorideas.com - Mining Stocks; YALE (TSX-V: YLL) SAMPLES 2.70 g/t AU AND 529.8 g/t AG OVER 2.10m – IDENTIFIES ANOTHER NEW ZONE AT OROFINO


Visit this company: www.yaleresources.com
June 28, 2010 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks Newswire) - Yale Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: YLL and Frankfurt: YAB) is pleased to announce that ongoing fieldwork at the wholly owned Orofino Project has identified another new mineralized target. This new target is located in the southern portion of a 4.5 by 2.5 kilometre coincident silica and iron-oxide ASTER anomaly located in the approximate centre of the 83 square kilometre project. San Francisco is now the eleventh known mineralized target within the Orofino Project. The highlight sample was 2.1 metres with a weighted average of 2.70 g/t gold and 529.8 g/t silver.


The San Francisco target is on trend with the Quelitoso target, located approximately 1.3 km away, as well as the Santiago Target located an additional 1.5 km away. This now creates a mineralized trend that measures as least 3 kilometres in length.
The San Francisco target is made up of a 30 to 40 metre wide zone of strong oxidation centred on a 5 to 6 metre wide core area of strong silicification and veining. It has been traced in the field for 300 metres along strike and remains open in both directions.
Of note at San Francisco is the absolute lack of any signs of previous sampling, which indicates to Yale management that there is potential to encounter additional workings and/or targets in this portion of the property as it appears to not have been explored by previous companies.
Multiple historic workings exist along this 300 metre portion of the San Francisco target. To date, reconnaissance-style sampling has only been done within these workings. Sampling from this initial reconnaissance sampling returned the following results:
The location of the San Francisco, Quelitoso and Santiago targets appears to be controlled by cross-cutting northwest trending structures. As there are multiple other northwest trending structures, there is very good potential for the identification of additional targets along this greater than 3 km long east-northeast mineralized trend.
Additional potential targets:
The reconnaissance program also identified several additional veins and small workings within the 4.5 by 2.5 kilometre coincident silica and iron-oxide ASTER anomaly. Local anomalous samples will be followed up during the next phase of fieldwork on the property.
The Orofino Project:
The San Francisco Zone is the eleventh known mineralized target within the Orofino Project. The property contains six historic open-pit workings. Although production records are not available, the vendor of the property had small-scale production during the mid-1990s, which produced approximately 60,000 tonnes of ore grading approximately 2 to 4 grams per tonne gold. The Orofino Project is located approximately 135 km southeast of Hermosillo, Sonora State and is approximately 83 square kilometres in size.
Highlights from previous work within the concessions are (see news release dated October 6, November 6, and December 1, 2009):
3.19 g/t gold and 83.2 g/t silver over 30.0 metres from within the La Perla pit;
1.88 g/t gold and 56.8 g/t silver over 10.67 metres from drill hole north of La Perla pit;
3.97 g/t gold over 9.14 metres from drill hole at the El Orofino target
2.27 g/t gold and 13.7 g/t silver over 15.24 metres from drill hole at the El Gato target;
2.53 g/t gold and 29.6 g/t silver over 4.4 metres from excavation at La Perlita West; and
7.79 g/t gold and 173.0 g/t silver over 2.4 metres from excavation at La Perlita North
Ongoing work at Orofino will be aimed at defining drill targets.
Stock Options:
The Company has issued Cary Martin, Manager – Investor Relations 200,000 stock options at $0.10 and will be exercisable until June 20, 2013.
About Yale Resources:
Yale Resources is an exploration and development company concentrating in northwestern Mexico that is building value through project generation. Yale has three of its seven properties optioned out to value added partners. These agreements combine for minimum commitments of approximately US $1,100,000 of exploration expenditures over the next 12 months.

Good Morning,
(Investorideas.com Mining stocks newswire) The Fed's inaction on interest rates gave further indications that it is still preoccupied with falling prices rather than the opposite. The unsurprising announcement came on the back of coincidental statistical data release showing a 33% cratering in new home sales. Coupled with an anemic private sector payroll situation, the above factors prompted the FOMC to reaffirm its 'extended period' stance. A stance of a different kind was once again exhibited by dissenting Fed policy maker Thomas Hoenig, who warned that the asset bubbles being created by virtually free money could have unwelcome consequences.

The 3 Best Gold Picks for 2010
Worries that the European market theatre drama could make a limited-engagement run on the US stage were also expressed during the Fed meeting, albeit the effects of such a contagion were deemed as 'modest' if in fact the US were to become infected. More of a concern for the US central bank is the potential for a misfire in the global economic recovery's engine, at this point.
Such renewed apprehensions were seen denting European as well as US stock futures this very morning. A similar set of worries undermined crude oil prices as the trading day got underway. Risk appetite thus became truncated and the dollar picked up in value, edging closer to 86 on the index. However, the same type of safe-haven bid did not materialize in gold for a change this morning.
New York spot metals dealings opened under liquidation pressure as the dollar's strength finally restored some of the inverse relationship (vis a vis gold) that had been lacking for several weeks now. Thus, gold opened with an $8.10 per ounce decline at $1229.20 amid global growth jitters and further position-squaring as the month draws to a close. On the technical side of things, the bulls may still be flying the ruling banner, but several worrisome momentum studies previously cited in these columns were further corroborated by Monday's observations in Merv Burak's weekly posting (here on Kitco).
Merv noted that "the [gold] momentum indicator has been continually showing a loss of strength on each successive move into new highs since reaching its peak in 2006. This latest gold move into new highs has not yet been confirmed by the momentum indicator. It remains below its level from the previous Dec high. The momentum cannot keep losing strength on each move. At some point it must either start to improve by moving above previous peaks or the strength of the moves will go negative."
He also cautioned that "the other indicator that is not all that positive is the daily (or weekly) volume action. The daily volume going into this week's high prices is considerably below the volume that moved gold into its highs in mid-May or into its previous highs last Dec. Moving into new high territory with decreasing volume activity is never a bullish sign."
US jobless claims fell more than expected, and so did durable goods orders. The data set engendered pared losses in both crude oil and gold shortly after it was released, once again underscoring the extent to which sentiment related to growth or contraction in the economy remains firmly in the driver's seat of markets and on participants' minds.
Silver opened with an 18 cent per ounce drop, and was quoted at $18.33 bid this morning. A hefty $28 fall in platinum and a fairly sizeable $11 decline in palladium were on tap for the start of the trading day. Meanwhile rhodium remained steady at $2390.00 the ounce after having gained a modest $10 during the previous trading day. Overnight gold purchases in India were fairly scarce once again as locals appeared to be holding out for more sizeable declines in gold prices before taking the wallet-thinning plunge. Perhaps this morning's dip in the yellow metal to under $1230 might offer some inducement to shoppers.
Other shoppers (of the US variety) are already being lured with price cuts by Wal-Mart and other retail giants, but they still appear not to be taking the bait due to the jobs picture and an uncertain mood. Such consumption anemia was just one of the worry factors that were manifest in the 'fine print' of the Fed announcement on Wednesday. Whether or not the anticipated price hikes to be baked into Chinese-sourced products in the wake of the yuan's quasi-de-pegging from the greenback will materialize or be 'subsidized' by chain store 'incentives' remains to be seen. America needs to get shopping as economists see it, and the Fed concurs.
Gold miners all over Oz sported huge but perhaps premature grins this morning as Ms. Julia Gillard –the country's first female PM- took office and pledged to repair damaged relations with them. The proposed-and highly controversial 40% tax on mining profits is seen as having cost PM Kevin Rudd his job as the mining industry 'leaned' on every conceivable channel to avert it. A blitzkrieg of anti-tax ads and other opinion-shaping devices were unleashed in order to prevent such a measure from becoming reality.
The country's largest industry can now declare 'success' in this battle, but only for the moment, and only as it applies to having removed one knight from the chess board. The Aussie government's pledge to bring the country's budget into surplus by 2013 by definition implies that some form of super profits tax is still in the cards for the miners. It is about how much, in what form, and when – not IF. Especially since Ms. Gillard has appointed the principal advocate of the "Henry Tax" –Mr. Swan as her Deputy PM. The 'swan' song for this tax scheme, well, all that can be said is that it has not (yet) been sung.
Today's summation comes from jovial George. Gero, that is. Fellow (but much more optimistic) Hungarian. RBC resident guru. Always curious. Says he:
"Thinning volume, book-squaring and today's options expirations could lead to more volatile gold prices as well as just the lack of buyers in the summer."[We] can't find new bullish news," says George Gero, vice president of global futures at RBC Capital Markets. "We hit $1,250 three times. But the technical picture is still $1,175 support and $1,250 resistance for now."
Meanwhile, the editor of Stock Traders Daily, Thomas Kee Jr. observes that safe haven plays are possibly running on fumes:
"A short while ago, it did not seem that interest rates would remain low for very much longer. Now, US treasuries have almost become a speculative instrument. This is a major concern. We all understand why investors are looking for a safe haven. The risks are real, investors had been afraid of Europe, and the United States will probably never default, unlike other countries.
Europe's fears are taming, for a while, and that should have brought with it a lesser demand for Treasuries. I now consider a flight to safety to be quite speculative. Every blip on the radar sees a rash of money into US treasuries. Immediately, there is a bubble in both the treasury market and the gold market (GLD). My analysis tells me that this is largely due to smaller investors at this stage in the cycle."
Happy (Careful)Trading. Beware of month-end related potholes as well as sharp turns. $20 moves should not surprise just when action appears to be most lethargic.

Investorideas.com - Mining Stocks; Tombstone Exploration Corporation (OTCBB:TMBXF) Starts Review of Large Data File Detailing Mineral-Rich Eagleville Gold Property in Mineral County, Nevada

Visit this company: www.tombstonemining.com
PHOENIX, Ariz. - June 24, 2010 (Investorideas.com Mining Stocks Newswire) - Tombstone Exploration Corp. (OTCBB:TMBXF) announced previously on June 21st that, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, American Eagle Minerals Inc., the Company has closed a lease agreement on the Eagleville property in Mineral County, Nevada. Eagleville is located along the northeast boundary of the Walker Lane structural zone in the Regent-Rawhide Mining District, Mineral County, Nevada. Terms of the agreement include a lease to purchase provision, after the term of the 10-year lease has passed.

The 3 Best Gold Picks for 2010
The Eagleville Property represents a paradigm shift for Tombstone Exploration. It is a gold rich prospect located in the prolific Walker Lane Structural belt that hosts bonanza grade mineralization such as seen at Goldfield, Round Mountain and Paradise Peak gold districts of Nevada.
By acquiring a mid-stage gold exploration project, the Company has the opportunity to immediately utilize a comprehensive database to develop exploration strategies and efficiently apply them. The property has historically produced multi-ounce gold ore and chemical grade barite ore from over two miles of underground workings.
As the value of gold rises, so does that of silver; now with both precious metals in its inventory, Tombstone Exploration is poised to take advantage of their increase in value. No official production records exist from the early mining activities at Eagleville, however records indicate the average grade of ore was approximately 1 to 2 ounces gold per ton.
The gold bearing quartz vein deposits at Eagleville were historically developed along 8,000 feet of underground workings. The vein systems found on the property may represent the upper level of the mineralized system. Gold mineralization found in the historic workings may continue beneath the sulphide horizon, the limit of the historic workings.
Additional work is being planned to explore the extension of the Eagleville mineralized systems under the adjacent overburden. As well, the existing data will be reanalyzed and additional field work completed to gain further insight into the geological environment at the Eagleville Mine.
Alan M. Brown, CEO of Tombstone, commented, "The exploration and development already completed on the Eagleville property are incredible. We are currently forming a team of professionals to execute our exploration activities as we plan our best strategy for development."
Tombstone Exploration Corporation (TMBXF) is focused primarily on exploration and development of mineral resources. Tombstone Exploration Corporation has the mineral rights to approximately 14 000 acres of historical mining land in the areas around Tombstone, Arizona and is the largest landholder in the Tombstone Mining District.
