 El Capitan Precious Metals, Inc. ECPN announced today that the 
 U.S. Forest Service has agreed to El Capitan's use of Right of Way road 
 access at its New Mexico mine site. The agreement represents the 
 Company's ability to overcome yet another obstacle on its path toward 
 supporting its mining operations and revenue generation.
 
 
 John F Stapleton, Chairman and CEO, stressed the importance of the 
 Forest Service agreement for the Company's ability to support its full 
 range of operational activities—from mining to crushing ore at the mine 
 site. The Company is able to operate at a full commercial level. As 
 reported last week, the equipment for the processing plant is on site, 
 installation is in progress, and the plant is expected to be operational 
 within the next week.
 
 
 Stapleton added, "The agreement to the Right of Way resolution from the 
 Forest Service is the result of months of meetings and discussions with 
 state and national agencies and persistent due-diligence work and 
 follow-through by El Capitan and its advisors."
 
 
 The Company anticipates several key announcements and updates in the 
 coming weeks, all of which will move forward its agenda for revenue 
 generation and enhancement of the asset value of the New Mexico property.
