Earth Search Sciences' Hyperspectral Technology Helps Identify Existence and Location of New Precious Metals at El Capitan Property

LAKESIDE, Mont., March 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Earth Search Sciences, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: ESSE) ; ( www.earthsearch.com/ ) announced today that El Capitan Precious Metals, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: ECPN) credits Earth Search's innovative Probe-1 hyperspectral remote sensing technology as a component in the identification of a potentially rich mineral field on the company's property near Ruidoso, New Mexico.
"The technology Earth Search employed on the project helped us identify promising areas of mineralization," said Chuck Motley, President and CEO of El Capitan. "These areas of mineralization are
right where Earth Search's technology indicated they would be. In addition, we are pleased that preliminary analysis indicates the deposit has good potential for production."
Using an eight-acre parcel of known mineralization on El Capitan's property as a baseline for comparison, Earth Search Sciences then expanded the original discovery and mapped an additional 8,000 acres of the property. The PROBE-1 hyperspectral instrument -- which Earth Search uses in flight to identify specific minerals and substances on the surface of the earth -- found indications of promising mineralization throughout the mapped area. El Capitan is planning to undertake a program to confirm the values of the discovery.
"The PROBE-1 hyperspectral instrument has again proven its capability in surface exploration for identifying the pathfinders leading to mineral deposits," said Larry Vance, Chief Executive Officer of Earth Search Sciences. "We are pleased that our Probe-1 hyperspectral technology delivered for El Capitan Precious Metals helping to identify their discovery and we believe that this represents a significant step in demonstrating the effectiveness of our hyperspectral imaging technology."
The Probe-1 has previously been successfully used in mineral exploration by one of the world's largest mining companies, Noranda Minerals.
About Earth Search Sciences
Earth Search Sciences, Inc.'s (BULLETIN BOARD: ESSE) revolutionary hyperspectral technology provides the ability to accurately read the chemical properties of surface substances from great altitudes and produce easily interpreted maps allowing the user to identify specific minerals and substances on the surface of the earth by their diagnostic reflectance patterns. Ultimately, this remote sensing capability identifies a greater number of exploration targets quickly and economically, monitors the environmental situation, and improves the probability of finding anomalies. Older, more conventional methods would take decades to cover the same area, and at a much greater cost. Within the realm of exploration, remote sensing does not replace the need for geological knowledge, geochemistry, geophysics, seismic, drilling, etc, which are some of the more conventional tools used for exploration.
About El Capitan Precious Metals
El Capitan Precious Metals, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: ECPN) is an exploration stage company that owns a 40 percent interest in the El Capitan property located near Capitan, New Mexico, as well as a joint venture and 20 percent ownership of 13 mining claims and other assets known as the C.O.C. mine located near Kingman, Arizona. In addition, the company owns contractual rights to the Rainbow Valley property consisting of 1,660 acres and 100 percent of the Weaver mine, both near Phoenix, Arizona.
