Sonora Resources Stakes Additional Land at Los Amoles – Samples 432 g/t Silver over 2.2 M

LAS VEGAS - Sonora Resources Corp. (OTCBB: NATC) is pleased to report that through land staking the company has successfully increased the size of the Los Amoles property by an additional 1,960 hectares. This new land package covers extensions of the known mineralizing system to the east and south of the original target area of the property. It should also be noted that the Los Amoles property surrounds a property owned by Peñoles. Peñoles is the second largest Mexican mining company, the first Mexican producer of gold, zinc and lead, and the world leader in silver production.

Notable sampling on the original El Rosario target area of Los Amoles included the following:

Reconnaissance sampling aimed at evaluating the potential continuation of the greater than 800 meters of strike extension of the mineralization identified to date returned the following encouraging values:

- 50 cm grading 0.41 g/t gold and 215.6 g/t silver; and
- 2.20 m averaging 0.39 g/t gold and 432.0 g/t silver.

To date, more than 45 historic workings and more than 20 gold/silver veins have been identified within approximately 60% of the El Rosario target area that measures 1.0 by 2.5 kilometres. Additional fieldwork is planned to map and sample the remaining areas within the El Rosario target. This work will be done in advance of geophysics, which, in turn, will be done to delineate priority locations for drilling.
