LAKESIDE, Mont., Apr 21, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Earth Search Sciences, Inc., (ESSE) reports: ESSE's revolutionary hyperspectral imaging can measure a fine degree of spectral reflectance of solar energy from across the spectrum and allow the user to identify specific minerals and substances on the surface of the Earth by their diagnostic reflectance patterns. It has previously been successfully used in mineral exploration by one of the world's largest mining companies, Noranda Minerals. See their full report on the Earth Search website: http://www.earthsearch.com/pdf/peshko.pdf.
Recently ESSE performed a survey for El Capitan Precious Metals, Inc. (ECPN). Chuck Mottley, El Capitan's CEO, is pleased with the results obtained from the recent hyperspectral survey completed by Earth Search. Mottley states: "We had to measure the mineral potential of the land claim block contiguous to the El Capitan deposit quickly and accurately. The information obtained from this airborne technology will assist our geologists to delineate the extent of the mineralization present at the existing El Capitan property."
He continued, "In one day the aircraft and crew were able to collect the data to show numerous anomalies over a 10,000 acre parcel that potentially indicate the same kind of mineralization our geologists had identified in the El Capitan deposit."
Dr. Clyde Smith, El Capitan's consulting geologist, observed that: "The speed and accuracy of this kind of mineral exploration data is impressive. Data of this type also provides the company with a baseline of environmental characteristics over the entire potential mining area, and will be very useful in planning for protection and remediation of any changes to the environment."
The ESSE website also features full details on the use of hyperspectral technology for monitoring and protecting the environment and wild life on the planet. See http://www.earthsearch.com
his news release includes forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. The information reflects numerous assumptions as to industry performance, general business and economic conditions, regulatory and legal requirements, taxes and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of the company. Similarly, this information assumes certain future business decisions that are subject to change. There can be no assurance that the results predicted here will be realized. Actual results may vary from those represented, and those variations may be material.
