LAS VEGAS, NEVADA–(Marketwire -01/13/12)- North Springs Resources Corp. (OTC.BB: NSRS.OB - News)(Pinksheets:NSRS.OB - News) (the “Company” or “North Springs”) is pleased to provide this update regarding the recently announced Letter of Intent (“LOI”) to acquire a ten percent (10%) interest in a high-potential gold exploration property in Ghana, Africa.

The property concession covers an area of approximately 5,100 acres located in the southeastern portion of Ghana’s historic Ashanti Gold Belt and is situated less than one mile from the border of a gold mining property that is currently producing in excess of 175,000 oz. of gold and $280 million in gross revenue per year.

Previous exploration conducted by Newmont Gold and others has included extensive geophysical (aeromagnetic) interpretation, soil and stream sediment sampling, trenching, auger drilling, and rock chip sampling. To date, four distinct mineralized gold zones have been identified on the property, two of which share contact with the unique geological structure that hosts gold mineralization at the open pit gold mines currently operating less than one mile away.

“This has all the makings of a world-class exploration play and an incredible opportunity for North Springs to quickly become a significant player in the Ashanti Gold Belt, one of the world’s hottest gold mining regions,” said Harry Lappa, President of North Springs. “The results from the project have been very promising and the property’s close proximity and similar geology to so many multi-million ounce gold deposits make this one of the most exciting prospects we have evaluated recently.”

The Ashanti Gold Belt is considered one the world’s premier gold producing regions. Many of the world’s largest and most successful gold mines are located within the Ashanti Gold Belt within a 60 mile radius of this property including, but not limited to, Obuasi (AngloGold Ashanti – 381,000 oz./year – 33.4 million oz. total), Ahafo (Newmont – 545,000 oz./year – 25.3 million oz. total), Tarkwa/Damang (Gold Fields – 928,000 oz./year – 19.6 million oz. total), Bogosso/Prestea (Golden Star – 180,000 oz/year – 3.8 million oz. total), Wassa/HBB (Golden Star – 280,000 oz./year – 4.7 million oz. total), Iduapriem (AngloGold Ashanti – 185,000 oz./year – 4.9 million oz. total), Akyem (Newmont – start in 2013 – 7.2 million oz. total), Chirano (Kinross – 48,000 oz./year – 2.4 million oz. total), and Nzema (Adamus/Endeavour – 100,000 oz./year – 3.0 million oz. total).

Terms of the LOI call for North Springs to advance $150,000 to the vendors within ten (10) days and make an additional payment of $100,000 within thirty (30) days. North Springs also anticipates funding a multi-phase work commitment on the property in 2012. The proposed transaction remains subject to, among other things, North Springs and the current property holders entering into a definitive agreement. There can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed as proposed or at all. If and when a definitive agreement is memorialized, additional details regarding this transaction will be forthcoming.

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA– North Springs Resources Corp. (OTC.BB: NSRS.OB - News)(Pinksheets:NSRS.OB - News) (the “Company” or “North Springs”) is pleased to announce it has signed a Letter of Intent to acquire an interest in an advanced gold exploration property in Ghana, Africa. The property is located within Ghana’s historic Ashanti Gold Belt and is situated less than one mile from the border of a gold mining property that is currently producing in excess of 175,000 oz. of gold and $280 million in gross revenue per year. Extensive soil and stream sediment sampling, trenching, auger drilling, and rock chip sampling indicates that the property has the potential to host both low-grade large tonnage and high-grade lode gold deposits similar to other multi-million ounce gold mines with similar geology operating in the immediate area.

“Acquiring a large concession of this quality located right next door to a producing mine in one of hottest gold mining regions of the world will be a major accomplishment for the Company,” said Harry Lappa, President of North Springs. “Many other companies are active in the area, including major players like Newmont, Goldfields, AngloGold, and Kinross, because they know that this is gold mining elephant country. We believe that acquiring a piece of this property will put us right in the middle of the action and position the Company for a potential multi-million ounce gold discovery.”

The Republic of Ghana, formerly known as the Gold Coast, is Africa’s second largest gold producing country, after only South Africa. Foreign mining investment in Ghana has benefited significantly from the country’s stable democratic government system and well established mining laws. Over the last century, Ghana has produced approximately 60 million ounces of gold and has a current estimated gold reserve of well over 100 million ounces with a gross mineral value estimated to be in excess of $162 billion dollars based on today’s gold spot prices. Despite Ghana’s long history of gold mining, the rate of new discovery and production in Ghana is still increasing. According to data from the Ghana Chamber of Mines, 2010 saw gold production in Ghana rise by 1.4% to 2.97 million ounces, with revenue from sales of the precious metal during the year increasing 27.5 percent to $3.62 billion.

The proposed transaction remains subject to, among other things, North Springs and the current property holders entering into a definitive agreement and completion of satisfactory due diligence by all parties. There can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed as proposed or at all. If and when a definitive agreement is memorialized, additional details regarding this transaction will be forthcoming.

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA–(Marketwire -01/11/12)- North Springs Resources Corp. (OTC.BB: NSRS.OB - News)(Pinksheets:NSRS.OB - News) (the “Company” or “North Springs”) is pleased to announce it has completed the acquisition of a twenty percent (20%) working interest in the Goldstar/One Arm Joe Gold Project (the “Goldstar Property” or “Goldstar”) located near Wickenburg, Arizona, USA. The Company acquired the 20% interest by funding $500,000 in exploration and development expenditures at the Goldstar Property. The current phase of exploration at Goldstar is expected to begin immediately and will include final preparations for a 15-hole diamond core drill program scheduled to begin later this month. The drill program will focus on five target areas with proven gold bearing quartz vein structures already identified at the property.

The Goldstar Property consists of 9,000 feet of gold bearing quartz veins in two zones (Goldstar: 6,000 feet and One Arm Joe: 3,000 feet) over nine (9) claim blocks totaling 180 acres. A small section of the 6,000 foot long Goldstar quartz vein zone is adjacent to the entire southern border of the Grijalva Mine, a former underground gold-silver-copper mine with production from quartz veins over a 29 year period between 1908 and 1936. The Goldstar Property is also located 20 miles northeast of the famous Vulture Mine, which became the most productive gold mine in Arizona history, producing 340,000 ounces of gold and 260,000 ounces of silver from high-grade quartz veins.

Previous exploration at the Goldstar Property, including extensive surface sampling (500+), mapping, trenching, assaying, and metallurgy, assisted in calculating the property’s estimated reserve of 500,000 tons with an average grade of 0.7oz gold per ton – which could yield approximately 350,000 ounces of gold. Based on a recent review of geologic data and sample assay results, the original grade and tonnage estimates made by the project geologists have been validated. Based on current gold spot prices, the Goldstar Property may contain over $550 million in gross mineral value and possibly be the largest hardrock gold mine in Arizona history.

“Historically, Arizona has produced more than 16 million ounces of gold – that’s over $25 billion worth at today’s prices, but since 1998 almost all Arizona gold production has come as a byproduct of large-scale copper mining and many great hardrock gold projects like this one went undeveloped,” stated Harry Lappa, President, North Springs Resources. “But over the last few years, higher gold prices have encouraged smart miners to re-visit Arizona and gold mining activity has increased steadily. North Springs was fortunate to acquire such an advanced project with a known gold estimate. We are confident that the planned exploration and drilling at Goldstar could quickly prove up the current 350,000 ounce estimate and provide us with enough data to make the decision to build a new mine and quickly go into production.”

The Company has the right to acquire an additional fifteen percent (15%) working interest in the Goldstar Property (35% total) by funding another $3,000,000 of exploration and development.

Further information regarding the Goldstar/One Arm Joe Gold Project and other North Springs business will be made as additional information becomes available.

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA– North Springs Resources Corp. (OTC.BB: NSRS.OB - News)(Pinksheets:NSRS.OB - News) (the “Company” or “North Springs”) is very pleased to announce that it has acquired the Imperial Gold/Silver Property located in Esmeralda County, Nevada, located about 150 miles northwest of Las Vegas in the Railroad Springs mining district.

On January 8, 2011, North Springs entered into a Minerals Lease and Agreement with MinQuest, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“MinQuest”), whereby the Company acquired the right to conduct mineral exploration activities for a term of twenty (20) years on various unpatented mining claims situated in Esmeralda County, Nevada, collectively known as the “Imperial Property”, subject to a three percent (3%) Net Smelter Royalty to be paid to MinQuest. In exchange for the Imperial Property, the Company shall pay an aggregate of one hundred forty thousand US dollars ($140,000) to MinQuest and provide an aggregate of three million US dollars ($3,000,000) in work commitments over the term.

The Imperial Gold/Silver Property consists of 24 unpatented mineral claims covering approximately 480 acres between the Montezuma Range to the northeast and the Silver Peak Range to the southwest. The property hosts a potential “Carlin style” deposit of gold mineralization that is located near surface and likely amenable to low-cost and efficient heap leaching. Drilling conducted in the early 1980′s identified a target more than one mile long and intercepted 100 feet of 0.036 oz/ton gold including 15 feet of 0.062 oz/ton gold. Historical workings also defined a small reserve of 0.05 oz/ton gold mineralization and confirmed the presence of Carlin-style gold in silty rocks adjacent to northeast trending high angle feeder faults. These targets and others required further drill testing.

Previous operators also identified several high grade gold occurrences in the vicinity of the Imperial adit portals that remain undeveloped. Historical drilling of these targets showed very promising results such as 30 feet of mineralization averaging 0.081 oz/ton gold starting at the surface. This hole identified the location of a northeast trending feeder fault and indicates strong gold mineralization potential to the southwest which also remains untested. Other drilling highlights include; 7.636 oz/ton gold and 0.251 oz/ton silver over 2.5 feet; 1.517 oz/ton gold over 2.5 feet; and one drill hole which intersected 10 feet (105′ to 115′) of 0.50 oz/ton gold occurring within a larger 40 foot interval (100 to 140′) that averaged 0.154 oz/t gold. Geologic mapping has documented favorable carbonate host rocks of Cambrian age throughout the property. Additional potential feeder faults for sediment hosted gold were mapped and include the west-northwest trending Imperial fault and a series of northeast trending structures. Drilling has identified open-ended shallow mineralization at the resource target located at the eastern end of the property.

“The Imperial will make another great acquisition for North Springs. It has many ideal characteristics that we look for in new projects, including previous production and clearly defined exploration targets with the strong possibility for additional significant gold discoveries,” said Harry Lappa, President of North Springs. “We are extremely happy with all of our recent acquisitions and will continue to work to position ourselves as an emerging leader in gold and silver exploration and build shareholder value.”

The Imperial Property is within what is called the Railroad Springs mining district, but is so close to Silver Peak district that it is often included in discussions of that area. The Silver Peak district was first mined in the 1860′s and has a long and productive history that includes many famous high-grade underground mines such as the Sixteen to One as well as recent open pit heap leach operations such as those at Mineral Ridge. Published literature indicates that the Imperial Mine was first developed in the 1920′s, but apparently had little or no production until the late 1930′s. The mine produced approximately 10,000 tons of ore grading 0.5 oz/ton and was probably shut down at the beginning of World War II. The mine has two adits, the longest of which has 2,620 feet of drifts and crosscuts. A 200-foot shaft, which is not accessible, is also located on the property. Ore mined from the property was previous treated by cyanide “vat” leach. Tailings on the property have been assayed and average 0.05 to 0.10 oz/ton gold.

Further information regarding the Imperial Property and other North Springs exploration projects will be made as additional information becomes available.

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA– North Springs Resources Corp. (OTC.BB: NSRS.OB - News)(Pinksheets:NSRS.OB - News) (the “Company” or “North Springs”) is pleased to announce it has reached an agreement in principle to acquire a 100% interest in two prospecting licences in the prolific gold producing region known as the Kabouri Gold Mining Area in the country of Guyana, South America. The Company is currently completing its final project due diligence and negotiating the definitive terms of the potential acquisition. A definitive agreement is expected to be reached and executed within 48 hours.

The “Kabouri Project Area Licence R-20″ and “Kabouri Project Area Licence R-21″ cover a combined area of over 25,000 acres of prime greenstone belt located about 160 km south-south west of Georgetown, Guyana. The properties share similar geological and geochemical characteristics with several well-known gold producing mines in the immediate area at Omai, Kabouri, Eldorado, and Hicks. Although the R-20 and R-21 licences have no documented history of gold production, they show evidence of artisanal mining from alluvial, colluvial, and bedrock sources. Extensive regional geochemical surveys and stream sediment surveys conducted by the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (“GGMC”) showed moderately to strongly anomalous gold concentrations within both properties that warrant immediate follow-up. The entire R-20 and R-21 prospecting licence area has been subject to regional geological and geochemical studies by the GGMC and is also covered by compiled aeromagnetic data.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for North Springs to acquire two very large properties right in the middle of one of the most important gold producing regions in the world. The location of the properties, their geologic setting, and their history of artisanal mining all combine to give this project huge potential upside with relatively low early stage risk,” stated Harry Lappa, President of North Springs Resources. “The widespread artisanal mining in the area is a very an important exploration factor for us to consider. The Omai Mine, to the southeast was worked for many years by artisanal miners before being re-discovered as large scale commercial mine with over 4 million ounces of gold produced. We intend to find out if the artisanal workings on the R-20 and R-21 are also just the tip of a much larger deposit lurking underneath.”

The Kabouri Gold Mining Area is part of a well-defined 1,000 mile long band of gold producing greenstone geology from Venezuela and French Guyana. The area is often compared to similar gold producing areas in West Africa. Numerous world-class gold mines have operated in the region with an estimated total combined gold resource of over 110 Moz., including Las Christinas (17 Moz. – Venezuela), El Callo (18 Moz.-Venezuela), Toroparu (10 Moz. – Guyana), Aurora (6.5 Moz. – Guyana), Omai (4 Moz. – Guyana), Gros Rosebel (13.7 Moz. – Suriname), Nassau (9 Moz. – Suriname), and Paul Isnard (3.9 Moz. – French Guyana).

The proposed transaction remains subject to, among other things, North Springs and the vendors entering into a definitive agreement and completion of satisfactory due diligence by both parties. There can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed as proposed or at all. If and when a definitive agreement is memorialized, additional details regarding this transaction will be forthcoming.

North Springs Resources Corporation (OTCBB:NSRS)(PINKSHEETS:NSRS) (the “Company” or “North Springs”) is pleased to outline the proposed exploration work program for the North Springs Gold Property located in prestigious Mineral Ridge Mining District of Nevada. The recommended $500,000 work program will focus on several untested gold targets that include disseminated mineralization, high-grade shear zones, and feeder veins similar to those that have been open-pit mined by several companies at other Mineral Ridge gold deposits in the area.

“We have well defined drill targets based on already completed field work providing excellent potential for the discovery of a significant gold deposit at the North Spring Gold Property. The proposed drill targets include high-grade free-visible gold mineralization exposed at surface which appears to be a stacked series of mineralized shear zones that could provide an attractive open-pit target,” stated Harry Lappa, President of North Springs Resources. “We will also test several locations with gold bearing veins exposed in old workings. The Company will continue to evaluate this work program, as well as review other potential mining opportunities prior to finalizing our exploration plans in the next few days.”

The proposed detailed work program for the North Springs Gold Property includes;

• North Springs is working to permit an initial 10-hole reverse circulation drilling program to test known gold mineralization on the property.
• Additional detailed mapping and geochemical sampling of the probable mineral targets to better define surface extent and orientation of the gold anomalies
• Gridline soil geochemical sampling in the Roadrunner Target area and in that portion of the Coyote Summit Target which is on pediment (shallow bedrock).

• Gridline bio-vegetation sampling in that portion of the Coyote Summit Target area which extends southwesterly under alluvial (transported) soil cover.
• Limited magnetic and possible Induced Polarization (IP) and CSAMT geophysical surveys or profiles over the primary defined target areas to establish three-dimensional extent of sulfide mineralization.
• Explore the lands adjacent to the North Springs Gold Property Area and potentially acquire available new claims.
• Evaluate all data compiled and prepare a new Technical Report for the North Springs Gold Property.

Management Review of Property:

The North Springs Gold Property has the potential to host lenticular, low-angle, disseminated gold and high-grade vein systems similar to those presently being mined in the nearby Mineral Ridge Mine of Scorpio Gold and Golden Phoenix, Inc. Based on the present level of investigation and sampling, the primary target areas worthy of additional exploration are the “Roadrunner” and “Coyote Summit” mineral targets, as defined by historical workings and the present mapping and sampling efforts. A number of possible additional “feeder-vein” structures have also been identified on the project lands that have undergone limited sampling and also warrant follow-up.

North Springs Resources Corp. (OTCBB:NSRS)(PINKSHEETS:NSRS) (the “Company” or “North Springs”) is pleased to announce that it has completed initial field work and sampling on the North Springs Gold Project, which is located in the prestigious Mineral Ridge Mining District in Esmeralda County, Nevada, USA. In addition, the Company has secured a $1 million Draw-Down Line of Credit Note to fund exploration, growth, and on-going operations.

In early October 2011, a team of independent geologists took 42 rock-chip samples from the Company’s current claims and surrounding areas. The results from this sampling program identified significant gold mineralization up to 0.23 ounces per ton from surface workings (complete results are available on our website). Based on these findings, North Springs has, this week, submitted documentation to record an additional 42 claims with the Nevada Bureau of Land Management in Esmeralda County, which should be accepted shortly. If successful in recording all 42 claims, the North Springs Gold Project will consist of a total of 58 claims covering 1,160 acres.

“We are hitting the ground running! The samples that were recently sent to the lab for assaying have returned with very favorable results. I’m very pleased that we have quickly proven the potential of the project and shown our team’s commitment to success,” stated Harry Lappa, President of North Springs Resources. “In addition to returning some high-grade gold samples, the initial sampling work vastly increased our knowledge of the property. As a result, the Company is attempting to add an additional 42 claims in the area surrounding our existing claims to fully exploit the opportunity. The North Springs Gold Project currently has well defined drill targets based on both geologic mapping and surface sampling; presently demonstrating excellent potential for the discovery of a significant gold deposit.”

Also, the Company has secured an initial financing of $130,000. This initial financing is part of a 12-month $1 million Draw-Down Line of Credit Note. The proceeds from this financing will be used for general working capital purposes or such other purposes as the Company may determine from time to time.

Mr. Lappa went on to state, “The initial financing, as well as the access to future capital, increases our flexibility to further operations and to allocate funds to the acquisition, exploration, and development of additional mining projects.”

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities in this offering, nor will there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer solicitation or sale are unlawful prior to registration or qualification under securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

North Springs Resources Corporation (OTCBB:NSRS) (the “Company” or “North Springs”) is pleased to offer the Company’s analysis and overview of the Company and its outlook.

North Springs Resources was formed to acquire and develop near-term production mineral projects or mineral properties with the potential of significant resources. The Management of North Springs Resources has considerable mining expertise, sophistication, commitment, intellect and a well-balanced understanding of the mineral resource industry and the financial markets. The Company has also built a strategic network of relationships within the mining industry that will enable them to identify mining targets that are ready to be developed. The result is a well-balanced corporation managed by an inspiring team of qualified professionals.

“We have a goal to become a producing gold and silver company and we will be aggressive in our search, acquisition and development of gold prospects in North America and abroad. Our acquisitions will be carefully chosen to bring significant return to our shareholders. North Springs will target and position itself to acquire past-producing and/or significant exploration projects and work toward their full development to drive revenues and build core reserves. We are a motivated and driven company with big goals,” stated Harry Lappa, President, North Springs Resources. “With the North Springs Gold Property, we have chosen a strategically located property in one of the most prolific Gold and Silver mining districts. North Springs Resources has positioned itself for success and will continue to acquire properties with strategic locations for discovery or have existing resources on them. We will be diligent and responsible to our shareholders as we move North Springs Resources forward.”

North Springs Property:

The North Springs Gold Project is located about 8 miles northwest of town of Silver Peak, Nevada. The Silver Peak Mountain Range lies in the southern reaches of the Great Basin, within the Walker Lane structural corridor. The Walker Lane is a 100-km-wide region of right lateral, wrench-faulting which separates the Sierra Nevada batholith to the west and southwest and the Great Basin to the east and northeast.

The North Springs land package consists of approximately 16 unpatented federal lode mining claims that cover two separate areas, the Roadrunner Block and the Coyote Summit Block, and total approximately 320 acres. The geology at North Springs is similar to that of the nearby Mineral Ridge Gold Deposits, and indeed, may actually be a continuation of the same gently-dipping, sheet-like body which hosts gold mineralization there. Gold mineralization at Mineral Ridge and the adjacent areas is hosted by localized pegmatitic alaskite and accessory quartz veins that exist near a granite-metasediment contact.

Both the North Springs Gold Property and the Mineral Ridge Gold Deposits are situated along a regional northwest trending, large anticline known as the Mineral Ridge Metamorphic Core Complex. This complex contains extensive high-grade gold veins (52 miles of underground workings on low-angle veins) and stacked, low angle, shear zones which have been open pit mined in several deposits. The Mineral Ridge Gold Deposits currently contain a current resource estimate of 500,000 ounces of gold. Scorpio Gold Corporation and Golden Phoenix Minerals, Inc.’s “Mineral Ridge” Joint Venture has a mineral resource estimate “of 221,000 ounces of gold in the measured and indicated categories and 136,000 ounces of gold in the inferred category within the area of the Drinkwater and Mary pits. The current mine plan contemplates 3.2 million tons of mineralized material being mined over a period of 41 months.” (from the Scorpio Gold Website).

The North Springs Gold Property occupies very similar geology, alteration, mineralization, geochemistry and structural setting to the Mineral Ridge Gold Deposits. In fact, the North Springs Gold Property sits less than three (3) miles from Scorpio Gold’s Mineral Ridge property. Historical sampling at the North Springs Gold Property has identified gold mineralization up to 0.8 ounces per ton from surface workings (complete results are available on our website). The North Springs Gold project contains several untested gold targets that include open-pit, disseminated mineralization and high-grade shear zones and feeder veins, similar to those that have been mined by several mining companies at the nearby Mineral Ridge deposits.

Management believes that in addition to its proximity to major discoveries (namely the Mineral Ridge Deposit), the North Springs Gold Property’s physical location makes it an ideal property for exploration and development. Existing infrastructure, including manpower and accessibility for the North Springs Property, is supported by the close proximity to the towns of Silver Peak and Tonopah, Nevada. State highways and paved roads provide easy access, while moderate temperatures allow for year-round physical work on the property.

Political support for the mining industry enjoyed by the state of Nevada was another determining factor for management when selecting the North Springs Property. Favorable laws, positive safety regulations, and the lack of political unrest seen in many other parts of the world are among the main reasons that Nevada’s gold production accounted for more than 79% of total U.S. production and 7.2% of the world’s gold production in 2009 (Economic Overview of Nevada’s Mineral Industry report; Nevada Mining Association). Nevada State Geologist and Director of the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology Jonathan Price recently stated that Nevada is still in its biggest mining boom, one that produced more than 200 million ounces of gold in Nevada from 1981 to 2009.

SHERMAN OAKS, Calif., Dec. 19, 2011 – ABOT Mining (Pink Sheets: ABOT.pk) is pleased to provide the following update on mining activities around its Aztlan 8B Project (the “Project”) which is centrally located in the State of Nayarit in the Tecuala Mining District on the west coast of Mexico. The Tecuala Mining District is considered a widely mineralized area and identified as a major deposit of gold and other minerals.

The area around the Project has been extensively explored and is currently being mined by several known publicly traded and private junior mining companies. For example, to the north and east of the Project, Nayarit Gold, Inc., holds extensive mining claims and is conducting core drill evaluations. Few kilometers to the south of the Project is another successful mining company, Vane Minerals Group, which has the “El Diablito” claim that has average feed grade ranged from 2 g/T Au, 200 g/T Ag (Source: www.vaneminerals.com). Further in the vicinity of the Project is US Gold, which has its El Gallo Project where only a limited amount of drilling has occurred on veins, but the results have been encouraging with measured and indicated resources of 39.8 million oz. of Ag and 550,000 oz. of Au (Source: www.usgold.com).

Based on these encouraging discoveries by mining companies around the Project area, ABOT Mining is extremely positive on the prospects of the Project and is looking forward to initiate its preliminary phase of its trench testing program. As evidenced by results of other mining companies, past surface trench testing has revealed deposits of placer and epithermal gold deposits, where overall bulk sample feed grade ranged from 0.20 gm/t to 39.00 gm/t. Mexico has a rich mining history of almost 500 years and has become the prime destination and a top tier country to develop mining operations as per Fraser Institute.

ABOT Mining (Pink Sheets:ABOT.pk) announced today that it has formulated an agreement with Rising Star S.A. de C.V., a Mexican Corporation, to acquire 50.00% equity interest in its Mexican mineral property (the “Aztlan 8B Project”).

The Aztlan 8B Project is located in the State of Nayarit in the Tecuala Mining District on the west coast of Mexico. The claim covers 300 plus acres, and is within a few kilometers of the pueblo ‘Paulo Blanco’. The Tecuala Mining District is considered a widely mineralized area and identified as a major deposit of gold and other minerals. The area around the Aztlan 8B has been extensively explored and is currently being mined by several known junior mining companies and geological institutions. According to Rising Star, past surface trench testing by others revealed deposits of placer and epithermal gold deposits, where overall bulk sample feed grade ranged from 0.20 gm/t to 39.00 gm/t. These tests were conducted across outcroppings of silicified volcanic breccias.

Mexico has a rich mining history of almost 500 years which preceded the arrival of the Spaniards in 1500s. However, since 1995, mining exploration has become increasingly attractive for foreign investors due to the creation and amendment of the applicable legal framework including the North American Free Trade Agreement and implementation of mining laws and environmental regulations that are favorable to mining exploration, development and production.

“We look forward to partnering with Rising Star and initiating the preliminary phase of our trench testing program of the Aztlan 8B Project. We strongly believe that results from our preliminary phase shall provide an objective view on viability of these gold and silver deposits. Subsequent to these results, the Company shall utilize its financing capabilities and Rising Star’s mining expertise to develop the Aztlan 8B Project and to further explore and acquire additional mineral properties,” said Morris Rafi, President of ABOT Mining.

DALLAS, TX- Southridge Enterprises Inc. (Pinksheets: SRGE.PK – News) (“Southridge” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the initial results of a trenching and sampling program that was conducted on its Los Compadres Project in Santa Maria del Oro in Nayarit, Mexico.

The trenching and mapping results strengthen our commitment to this exceptional property. A new zone of porphyry copper-gold hydrothermal mineralization and a high-grade vein system with abundant visible gold were uncovered at Los Compadres. A composite grab sample of this 0.25 meter wide vein assayed 64.8 g/t Au. The vein was exposed for a length of 16 meters before it was mantled by Calc-alkaline volcanic rock. A channel sample cut above this vein and across another new zone in the immediate area assayed 18.31 g/t Au over 5.0 meters. A series of other excavations have been completed and sampled; however, as of today, assay results are yet to be received and will be announced immediately as they become available. The 2011 drill program has been delayed because of drill rig availability and it is now anticipated that this work will commence in January 2012.

In a management strategy to address the Company’s low share price, increased attention has been given to finalizing the details of a Stock Buy-Back Program in order to assist in the building of a stronger share trading price point in the marketplace that more accurately reflects the asset value and potential of the Company.

Regarding other recent developments and processes, Southridge management is continuing its efforts to retire some of the restricted shares outstanding to improve the capital structure of the Company. Also, due to the success of Southridge’s mining efforts in Mexico over the past six months, the Company has attracted the attention of a number of Canadian public companies that has led to discussions regarding joint venture and financing proposals. The Company is currently reviewing the proposals to decide which transactions fit the Company’s future development plans in order to move forward with their completion. Details will be announced as they occur over the next quarter. Additionally, the Company’s annual report and year-end financial statements are expected to be filed in the next several weeks with OTC Markets.

Southridge President, Michael Davies, commented, “Southridge is highly encouraged by the minerals results from our Los Compadres property. We strongly believe that ore from this property location could add significantly to the production values we expect to achieve from our mill on the Cinco Minas site. The results from Los Compadres will add to our negotiating position in any future joint venture efforts completed with other mining companies. On the Company equity side, management is adamant to improve the Company’s share price by purchasing shares in the market and is committed to streamlining the capital structure with the reduction of the number of shares outstanding.”

With metal prices forecasted to remain buoyant, properties that offer significant potential for Gold and Silver occurrence, a diverse management team, and a strong cash position, Southridge Minerals is well positioned to develop its opportunity to build shareholder value.
