Exhibit 99.1
Tombstone Exploration Corporation Acquires Lease for Mineral-Rich Eagleville Property in Mineral County, Nevada Containing Gold and Silver
PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwire - 06/21/10) - Tombstone Exploration Corp. (OTC.BB:TMBXF -News), announced today that it has closed a leasing 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 within the 10 year lease.
The location was aptly chosen as Mineral County has a considerable and unique variety of mineral wealth which remains undeveloped. The region contains major epithermal gold and silver deposits such as Round Mountain and the historical Comstock Lode. Possibly no comparable area on the American Continent has so many varied mineral deposits, including, but not limited to, gold, silver, copper, tungsten, iron, coal, borax, lead and gemstone rocks.
The project is located eight kilometers east of Kennecott's Rawhide gold-silver mine, where by the end of 2000, over 1.1 million ounces of gold and 9 million ounces of silver had been recovered. Previous mining activities have taken place on the location with success. The Company believes the extensive surface alteration and previous development provide evidence that Eagleville has the potential for both open-pit and underground gold production.
Rock samples obtained from the Eagleville prospect have been measured as high as 1.394 opt. With the price of gold continuing to rise, the value of the Eagleville prospect is predicted to rise at a consistent rate with the price of gold. Rising mineral values with expenditures that remain constant will benefit the Company enormously.
Alan M. Brown, CEO of Tombstone, commented, "We are excited to have the opportunity to explore the Eagleville Prospect. We believe that the site has tremendous potential with a minimum amount of expenditures, furthering the Company's mission to produce metals and minerals at or below standard industry costs. Tombstone Exploration will continue to share news and information to our investors as developments occur with the property."
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.
