*Update* StoneShield Capital Corp Announces Goldtooth Project Exploration Plans for 2012

Aggressive Plan includes Geophysical Program along with 7500m of Drilling on Northern and Southern Blocks.

In an update to our report from earlier in the week StoneShield Capital Corp (STS – TSX.V) has announced a comprehensive exploration plan for its Goldtooth Gold Project, located in Inyo County, California. The purpose of this program is to further outline mineralization on both the Northern and Southern blocks with a goal of delineating drill targets for proposed programs later this year. A total of 7500m of drilling has been planned for 2012. Tentatively, this will include a minimum of 4500m on the Northern Block and a minimum of 3000m on the Southern Block. In addition, StoneShield has also released an updated map of its Goldtooth claim blocks which highlights the project’s vicinity to both the Briggs Gold Mine and the underlying Gold Tooth Fault.

Northern Block Exploration Plan

In light of the positive sampling results reported by StoneShield and highlighted in our previous report, the company’s geological team has continued its geochemical and sampling program in order to expand the new zone of mineralization. Reports from the field are that geologists have identified several favourable exposures that continue both north and south of the new 90m area. Assay results from these samples are pending. Project geologists have recommended that a 30km ground magnetic survey along with an induced polarization survey of the same size be carried out over the Northern block in order to develop a comprehensive drill plan that will hopefully commence in the fall of 2012. Historic drill intercepts on the block include: 20m of 2.33g/t gold, 15m of 1.6g/t gold and 24m of 1.16g/t gold. Similarly, work continues on the Southern Block.

Southern Block Exploration Plan

Exploration on the Southern Block has been concentrated on the new area of mineralization discovered by company geologists over the winter. This anomalous area of approximately 50 metres lies only 230 metres to the south Atna’s Gold Tooth open pit. The highlight grades reported were 3.83g/t gold, 1.03g/t gold, 0.91g/t gold. Based on these results and subsequent work done, StoneShield geologists have recommended that a 9.5km Induced Polarization survey be completed in order to better decipher the geological controls of the area. Permitting for 18 drill holes has been submitted to the necessary agencies and is almost complete. However, depending on the results of the current geophysical program management may augment that plan in order to focus their efforts on the highest quality targets available.

The management of StoneShield is committed to delivering shareholders a productive year at the Goldtooth project. Permitting for additional drill holes has already been initiated. StoneShield’s management is currently pursuing financing partners in order to fund exploration plans. An announcement in this regard is expected shortly. As also noted in our previous report, Inyo County, where the Goldtooth project is located is an extremely mining friendly county that is seeking to boost the local economy through mineral exploration. The fact that one of the few operating mines in the state is sandwiched between StoneShield’s Northern and Southern claims blocks means that any significant discovery by this junior will not go unnoticed. Investors looking to take advantage of the mining industry’s re-entry into the gold rich state of California really ought to consider StoneShield as the vehicle they use to gain exposure to an area with huge-upside potential.
