SRCX Stonebridge Resources Explorations Ltd New (CE)

Stonebridge Resources Explorations Ltd. (S3C1.DE.FSE) (the "Company") today announced today that it has entered into a joint venture with Rio Plata Exploration and Mining Company to explore and develop a new project in Arizona.

The Project

The "Eastern Empire Mine" property, which consist of 59 contiguous parcels located adjacent to the "Total Wreck" mine on the eastern end of the Empire Mountains. This property became attractive because of its proximity to the Rosemont Mine site being developed by Augusta Resources. We believe that the rich diversity of minerals and metals already determined to be in this area, the Eastern Empire Mine property is a prime candidate for economic development. The Eastern Empire Mine property is an early stage exploration endeavor, in an area that has received significant capital deployment in the last five years.
