EPZ Esperanza Resources Corp.

Esperanza Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:EPZ)(PINK SHEETS:ESPZF) is pleased to
announce that drilling at its 100% owned Colqui Orcco project has started. The
drill plan includes 1,800 meters in 12 diamond-drill core holes and may be
expanded depending on results.


Colqui Orcco (Silver Hill) is a greenfields prospect in Cuzco Department,
southern Peru, with concessions comprising of 700 hectares. Esperanza geologists
discovered three steeply dipping quartz veins and breccia structures up to 2.7
meters wide and totaling 2,500 meters in length. Channel samples of the veins
yielded silver values up to 4,984 g/t Ag and gold values of 1.3 g/t Au. The vein
textures, metal ratios, anomalous geochemical indicators, and accompanying
alteration are all suggestive of the uppermost portion of a silver rich
hydrothermal system. The targets are bonanza vein ore bodies at depth.


More information on Colqui Orcco and our Peru exploration program can be found
