EL CAPITAN PRECIOUS METAL OTCBB
El Capitan Precious Metals Signs Loi With AuRIC Metallurgical Laboratories to Process Precious Metals From Its El Capitan Mine and Completes $1,000,000 Private Placement
PHOENIX, AZ -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 10/21/04 -- El Capitan Precious Metals, Inc. (OTC BB: ECPN) announced today the signing of a Letter of Intent with AuRIC Metallurgical Laboratories, LLC whereby AuRIC will be installing processes to recover the precious metals separated from the iron ore mined at the Company's El Capitan Mine in New Mexico. AuRIC has already begun work at the mine that will continue as the parties work to execute a definitive agreement, which is anticipated to occur in the next thirty days.
The Company intends to produce a pelletized magnetic fraction mined from El Capitan for the sale and shipment to various US steel companies. Meanwhile, for the next six months AuRIC will be continuing its ongoing research and development efforts and start the construction of a 10 tons per day Pilot Scale Precious Metals Recovery facility to process the non-magnetic fraction of the ore.
"The potential of producing precious metals while making a high-grade, pelletized iron ore product from the El Capitan site is very exciting and we are pleased to participate in this leading edge opportunity," AuRIC Managing Partner, Ahmet Altinay said.
The Company also announced it has completed a $1,000,000 private placement of common stock and warrants. This placement was led by Perkins Capital Management of Minneapolis, Minnesota.
El Capitan President/CEO, Chuck Mottley stated, "AuRIC is known in the mining industry as a leader in the recovery of platinum and palladium. The $1,000,000 in new capital will allow us to accelerate our mining plans to help meet our current demand for iron-ore and potentially prove up the levels of platinum and other precious metals at El Capitan.
"This is a very exciting time for the El Capitan shareholders. We believe we are well positioned to benefit from both the world-wide shortage of iron ore and possibly a platinum discovery much larger than we originally believed," Mr. Mottley continued.
El Capitan Precious Metals, Inc. is a development stage company that owns a 40% interest in the El Capitan mine located near Capitan, New Mexico as well as a joint venture and 20% ownership of 13 mining claims and other assets known as the C.O.D. Property located near Kingman, Arizona.
