ECPN Makes Preparations to Sell the El Capitan Property
ECPN Makes Preparations to Sell the El Capitan Property
Sep. 8, 2010 (Business Wire) -- El Capitan Precious Metals, Inc. (OTCBB:ECPN) has sent the following letter to shareholders:
Dear Shareholders,
The purpose of this letter is to give our shareholders an update on our progress toward selling the El Capitan property to a major mining company. The Company, through its private placement offering of $1.5 million, has raised the funds to complete the necessary steps in completing the development of the recovery processes and assay procedures in order to be in a position to effect a sale.
The remaining two goals of management have been to complete the development of the recovery processes for the complex ore at El Capitan and to determine the cost of those processes. We are very close to completion of these tasks. At that point the Company will forward the information to an investment bank who will be responsible for marketing our property.
This past March the Company contracted with Planet Resource Recovery, Inc. to have them build a plant to recover precious metals from concentrates made from the El Capitan head ore. The concentrates were shipped to them several months ago. We expect notification from them as to the timing of commencing their production.
On May 12, 2010, we reported that Planet ran 110 assays which showed an average of 0.355 of gold equivalent. In addition, the Company’s own assay work done on the El Capitan concentrates has consistently shown very high results. The concentrates sent to Planet are approximately a 10-to-1 ratio. Therefore, based on Planet’s previous assays, we would expect the recovery from the concentrates to show approximately 10 times the values of the head ore which computes to somewhere in the range of 3.5 ounces of gold equivalent per ton.
Six months ago the Company started another project using experienced chemists and metallurgists to work on developing the recovery process and assays. That team now consists of seven professionals. The team has recovered good values by obtaining “metal in hand” which indicates the El Capitan ore to be of commercial grade. Meanwhile they continue to improve on the processes which show increasing values. We expect to announce those results in the next few weeks.
The research team has developed four different recovery processes and they are finalizing the most productive and the most cost-efficient process. When that is completed they will start assaying the 230 representative samples from ECPN’s original drilling program.
To summarize, as soon as the Company has completed the development of the recovery processes and assay procedures, along with determining the associated costs, we will be in a position to go forward with the sale of the El Capitan Property.
Sincerely,
Chuck Mottley

I demand to know why ANDY has not been to this board. He has not pumped this stock in a long time. Did he sell his shares? Or did he get caught in the 90% drop in one day because CEO arrested?
oh well! nite needs...:)
But Andy said it was such a good buy
whew! no, I was worried that you purchased it.
You mean divy?
lol, do you own shares?
Listen Andy Promised me that NOBLE was run by honest people
No idea, but interesting Mr Chown and Mr Pacheco were involved together in another company....Dermisonics aka Second Stage Ventures
What kind of drugs did they catch him with?
Just curious how are the Jails in NICARAGUA ? As nice as the USA? TV in the cells with 3 meals a day?
How can the PPS be down .0009 if the pPS range was .0001 to .0001
What was the highest PPS in the last 6 months? .001?
Where the hell is Andy these days anyway?
good luck to all...pfffft!

USCN management is doing a great job!
2 PR's this week, combined with the new website is providing the market with alot of information.
Fulling reporting on the OTCBB with a very low O/S and float and we are seeing the result via the substantial PPS increase.
No pump and dump here.
Remember, this USCN has absolutely zero to do with the old CMKX days.
Good luck to all.
Oaks (aimho)
I just feel sorry for those that got pumped here.
Is ANDY HILL involved in money laundering and organized crime too?
He sure seems to always be around doesn't he.
Remember Andy Hill pumping this stock. Yes the same Andy Hill IR of CMKX Diamonds.

VALDEMIRO PACHECO: ARRESTED IN NICARAGUA
ALLEGED DRUG MONEY LAUNDERING
http://www.elnuevodiario.com.ni/nacionales/80880
[google translation]
Pretrial confinement for alleged launderers
Ernesto Garcia
END - 22:28 - 09/08/2010
Pacheco Valdemiro Canadian and Nicaraguan lawyers Pastor Orlando Reyes and Jose Benito Dolores Talavera Siles, the latter best known among his colleagues as "Pedron," were sentenced to 22 days of pretrial confinement.
This is provided for the alternate Fifth District Judge Criminal Court of Managua, José Luis Araica, after admitting the charges where the prosecutor complained to the lawyers of the alleged perpetrators of the crimes of money laundering and organized crime.
The prosecution supported by the Attorney General's Office, PGR, also goes against the ex-convict straightened Bismarck Antonio Jiron and Brenda Lira Palacios Jiron, who have not yet been captured.
Suspicious transactions
In November 2009 the accused appeared before Reinaldo Valenzuela Castillo, owner of the farm The Lomas, offering one million $ 786,000 to purchase part of the property.
Defendants in the amount of money above mentioned, I bought a 2000 102 Valenzuela blocks from the 3000 extension 519 blocks of the property covered by the indictment filed by the Prosecution.
Accepted the deal, the lawyer Benito Reyes made public deed number 95, where it appears as buyer Brenda Lira Palacios, same as on 22 December of that year tried to deposit in a bank branch in Esteli, 407 000 $ 85 on an account for Valenzuela, but could not, because they could not justify the origin of the money to the bank.
"Pedron the farmer
Then the lawyer Reyes made public deed number 98 of promise of sale, where it appears his colleague José Dolores Talavera as a buyer of the property. Talavera then opened an account in your name at another bank, which made five deposits 100 to $ 250,000 between 11 and January 19, 2010 in favor of Valenzuela.
Paper company
To give legality to the money, the accused Vladimir Pacheco used the company "Velcor Nicaragua. SA”, to simulate the alleged purchase of logging rights to the accused Talavera.
Those royalties were on a farm of 300 hectares located in the indigenous community of Kakamuklaya in the North Atlantic Autonomous Region, in the amount of 39 million 780 000 cordobas. I also headed a company called International Ip.

Otherwise active PGR's Organized Crime and Money Laundering
The Attorney General's Office, through Dr Tatiana Martinez, Assistant Attorney intervened in the Initial Preliminary Hearing, which requested the admission of the indictment against a Canadian and four Nicaraguans for the crimes of organized crime and laundering Money.
The defendants are: José Dolores Talavera Siles, Bismarck Antonio Jiron, Valdemiro Pacheco, Orlando Benito Pastora and Brenda Palacios Reyes Jiron.
Martinez explained that this is a group that has been formed since 2007, with the support of the leader of the Organization, Bismarck Jiron Antonio Lira, who was sentenced to 13 years in prison for the crime of drug trafficking.
For now, three of the five accused in detention, before the indictment was presented against them on charges of Organized Crime and Money Laundering by more than one million 800 thousand dollars that had entered the financial system through transactions different financial institutions and the acquisition of movable and immovable assets on their behalf, which could justify a lawful manner the money obtained illegally from drug trafficking.
The National Police, giving another blow to drug trafficking, investigating the accused Bismarck Jiron Antonio Lira and / or Jiron Lira for the commission of crimes related to drug trafficking, since 2005.
After the hearing, the PGR expected a conviction for the accused, as there is sufficient evidence to prove the crimes that damage the Nicaraguan state.
The PGR was instrumental in this case, investigative actions with the National Police, from the afternoon of August 4 and asked for injunctive relief and precautelares about Real Property acquired by the defendants.

They tried to circumvent the financial system
* Legal proceedings against the group that tried to buy a property with money that could not substantiate
By: Elizabeth Romero
Unable to justify the source of a deposit to a bank for $ 407,000 did not prevent a group of suspects sought other resources to infiltrate the National Financial System, with deposits to wash drug money.
On 22 December last year Jiron Brenda Palacios made a deposit of more than $ 407,000 in a bank branch in Estelí, to account number 1002-12-16795934, owned by Reynaldo Benito Valenzuela, who wanted to buy the farm The Lomas, located in the region and Olama Aguas Caliente, the municipality of Muy Muy, Matagalpa. But the day after the institution refused the deposit because Palacios was unable to justify the lawful origin of the money.
According to the prosecution, Palacios integrates a group of several people led by Bismarck Shred or Jiron Antonio Lira Lira, who tried to legitimize capital proceeds of illicit drug trafficking.
The indictment submitted by the prosecution to the courts in early August, the criminal organization composed of the accused Brenda Lira Palacios and Antonio Jiron Bismarck, uncaptured, and Jose Dolores Talavera Siles, Orlando Valdemiro Benito Reyes Pacheco and Pastora, and arrested, the refusal of the bank rescinded the prior written purchase the property and made another as a promise of sale.
However, the document appears José Dolores Talavera Siles as a buyer of 2.102 acres of the property, for $ 786.700 million.
Talavera last January opened a savings account at another bank in U.S. dollars and between 11 and January 19, 2010 made five deposits to the same account for a little more than a million dollars. Subsequently, cashier checks issued for the establishment of fixed deposit certificates. Also created shell companies.
SAMPLE CAPACITY OF ORGANIZED CRIME
This is one of several cases that the National Police carried out in August related to the crime organized.. Another was the capture of three Mexicans with $ 200,000 when they tried to buy drugs in El Rama.
The chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the National Assembly, Jose Pallais, who is also member of the National Council for Combating Drugs, acknowledged the important work of the National Police, but found that the facts related to organized crime is a sample of installed capacity they have in Nicaragua.
The congressman said, according to theorists in the field, "for every case that went bankrupt, at least there were nine successful move around the country."
Pallais is one of the initiators of the draft Law Against Organized Crime, which is not yet on the agenda of the plenary agenda.
In the bill establishing the unit occupied property manager to organized crime. To date, according Pallais, the judiciary is being distributed at your convenience so busy with the National Police.

U.S. Canadian Minerals, Inc. (Pink Sheets:USCN) (the “Company”) announces that the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Noble Technologies Corp (“Noble”), has secured both a Building Permit and a temporary Business License from Storey County, Nevada (the “Permits”). The Permits allow Noble to commence the assembly of the equipment that is essential to the efficient execution of Noble’s business plan, specifically the processing, smelting and refining of precious and base metal ore bearing concentrates for third party mine owners and operators in the American southwest. The Permits require Noble to assemble the processing equipment on a basis which is consistent with the plans prepared and submitted by Noble and approved by the Storey County Building Department. The Permits are also subject to certain conditions cited by the Storey County Fire Department. Upon completion of the assembly on a basis consistent with Storey County permitting requirements and prior to the commencement of operations, Noble anticipates receipt of both a Certificate of Occupancy and a Business License from the County. In conjunction with this work, Mark Kersey, the Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, is working with Nevada State officials to secure the air quality, water, mining and mercury permits required for Noble’s 31,000 square foot processing plant to become fully operational. |

Highlighted Projects and Assets:
80% interest in the COD Mine in Arizona.
Key Agents:
Share Transfer Agent: Pacific Stock Transfer Company
Legal Counsel: The Otto Law Group PLLC
Independent Auditor: Sara Jenkins CPA Blackwing Group LLC
http://www.uscanadianmin.com/filings/COD_43_101_May30_09.pdf
COD Mine includes 13 BLM claims totaling 260 acres in Kingman AZ. These claims include 4 previous worked mines, COD, Rico, White Eagle and Gold and Copper. COD was discovered and worked since the 1880’s and last operated in the 1980’s. The mine has some 1.2 M tons of a proven, probable and possible resources exceeding $400M USD of in ground resources at today’s prices from the old reports. These resources are attributed from a single vein system from only the COD and Rico mine, as there are 7 additional known productive veins and 3 additional producing mines. There is also additionally an estimated 40,000 tons of above ground tailings resources
The COD mine has a 600 ft deep shaft and some 1700 ft of tunnels. Included is an extensive channeled chip sampling with assays and extensive maps from the previous operator.
The COD mine is a silver-gold mine with significant lead and zinc grades. The gold grade ranges from 5 to 7 grams per ton and the silver grade ranges from 8 to18 ounces per ton. The lead and zinc grades are approximately 3%. The previous estimation of $400M USD is based upon 9 previous NON-COMPLIANT NI. 43-101 geological studies and speaks only to the ore blocks encountered in the underground workings from the past producer in the 1980’s. The underground workings could be significantly expanded on the 260 acres controlled and vastly unexplored.
The vein system is well-defined, with little extension into the wallrock. Cross-fracturing and faulting strike along the schistosity of the area, producing considerable brecciation and the formation of high-grade ore shoots into the wallrock. The C.O.D. mineralization is a mesothermal polymetallic vein system associated with but on the outer edge of a porphyry copper-molybdenum mineralizing system whose core is recognized as the Mercator/ Mineral Park porphyry copper-molybdenum deposit. At C.O.D. gangue minerals are quartz, with minor calcite, siderite and other carbonate minerals. Ore minerals include gold, silver, pyrite (FeS2), arsenopyrite (FeAsS), chalcopyrite (CuFeS2), galena (PbS), bornite (C5FeS4), covellite (CuS), chalcocite (Cu2S), anglesite (PbSO4), sphalerite (ZnS), argentite (Ag2S), cerussite (PbCO3) and smithsonite (ZnCO3). This mineralization is both hypogene and supergene, with supergene activity producing sporadic oxide zones above the 400-foot Level.
The vein is well known as the "C.O.D. Vein". It strikes N. 85° W. And dips about 80° N., and is reported to be more than a mile in length and about 6 feet in average width. The gangue is mainly quartz, in which the ore occurs in shoots, and lenses which vary from1 to 7 feet in width and are mostly of considerable extent. The narrow shoots are said to be usually rich, and the wider ones contain large bodies of milling and concentrating ore. At the 250-foot level the ore shoot are reported to vary from 3 to 7 feet in width and its ore was averaged about $250 to the ton, back in1909 dollars.
The ore contains principally silver sulphide and gold, with some galena, zinc blend, and below the 250 foot level a Iittle chalcopyrite. It is said to be less rich in the sulphide zone in the lower part of the mine than in the oxide zone near the surface. Its run of mine, roughly computed from a record of the output from October 10, 1885, to March 6, 190 I, and is about as follows: Silver 160 ounces and gold 2 ounces to the ton; lead 12 to 20 per cent.
This information is a direct quote from Geological Report completed by F.C. Schrader, 1909
The most recent operations at the C.O.D. Mine were from 1979 until 1985.
Operations at the C.O.D. Mine were suspended in January 1985 again as a result of the depressed metal prices. From 1985 through 1991, the mine was kept in a standby position with the shaft being kept dewatered and surface facilities being maintained on a minimal basis.
The C.O.D. Mine was originally located about 1878, but it remained inactive for approximately seven years (Schrader, 1909). Schrader reported that the mine had been developed by a shaft to the 400-foot Level (120 m) below surface, and contained two main and two sub-level workings (drifts). The total amount of underground workings to 1909 was 2,500 feet (760 m). The original shaft is located 400 feet (120 m) east of the current main shaft as represented by the present headframe (Plate 2). The 300-foot Level (91 m) of the old shaft was reported to have been stoped to surface for approximately 400 feet (120 m) on either side of the original shaft. Beyond the stoping to the east it was reported (1909) that good ore was still in place. It was also reported that the 300-Level drift was extended to the west for 900 feet (274 m). A second shaft (now the main shaft), apparently also being developed at the time, was reported to be at a depth of 96 feet (29 m). By 1921 the current shaft was reported to be at 440 feet (134 m) below surface, and the 440 foot-Level had been extended to the west approximately 490 feet (149 m). It was extended a further 375 feet (114 m) to the west.
In 1969 the property was leased to Vernon Taylor of Kingman Silver Mines, Inc., and was extensively explored through to 1971. During this time the Main (new) shaft was repaired and deepened to the 640-foot (195 m) Level. The following is a table of work carried out during that time:
In 1979 Mr. Charles Porter acquired a sub-lease from Kingman Silver. This was shortly thereafter assigned to Newbery Resources, Inc. Very little work was carried out underground. Newbery was acquired by Alanco Environmental Resources Corporation from its parent Newbery Energy Corp., giving Alanco the rights to the property.
From that time until December of 1985 the mine was de-watered to below the 560-foot (171 m) depth and the main shaft was completely rehabilitated to the 550-foot (168 m) Level. This work included a new shaft collar, timbering, new headframe and hoist (Plate 2), all new track in the shaft and drifts, compressed air, fresh air, powerline, communication system, and waterline being installed. The work stations on the 400-foot and 500-foot levels were completely redone and new ore blocks were established. Two major stopes and one small stope, with ore shoots, were developed on the 500-foot Level. Production by Alanco in 1984 was approximately 2,600 tons of ore from a sub-level stope on the 400-foot Level and a stope from the 500-foot Level. Alanco reported the average grade of the ore to be 0.1092 oz/ton Au and 13.51 oz/ton silver. Geological mapping was carried out on the 500-foot Level, both east and west of the main shaft. Reconnaissance mapping was conducted on the surface. This is the only mapping carried out on the mine.
Schrader (1909) reported that 3,687 tons of ore were shipped to the smelter between 1885 and 1892. These shipments were reported to have contained 402,000 ounces of silver (Ag), 1,180 ounces of gold (Au), and 515,670 pounds of lead (Pb). This would give a grade of 109 oz/ton Ag, 0.32 oz/ton Au and 7% Pb. Additionally Schrader reported that between 1900 and 1902 330 tons of ore were shipped to the smelter, and that this ore contained 17,550 ounces of silver, 180 ounces of gold and 114, 360 pounds of lead. This would be the equivalent of a grade of 53.0 oz/ton Ag, 0.545 oz/ton Au and 17% Pb/ton.
The earliest reported mill at the C.O.D. Mine was in 1902. It was a 50 ton per day concentrating mill which operated for 6 months. The Economics Branch of the U.S. Bureau of Mines (Hale, 1963) reported production from the C.O.D. Mine from 1901 to 1948 to be 1,550 ounces of gold, 151,263 ounces of silver, 23,924 pounds of copper, 348,872 pounds of lead and 23,188 pounds of zinc. Construction of a new gravity mill was completed in 1982. All operations were suspended in 1985. The mine was put on a standby mode and the shaft was kept de-watered until 1990.
In late 1990 and early 1991 a considerable amount of damage to the shaft occurred from several heavy rain storms in the area. No further de-watering could be carried out and access to the mine was unavailable. As of 1994 the water level in the mine was at the 130 foot (40 m) depth. A small amount of use was being made of the gravity mill by a lessee since that time. Some vandalism has been carried out on the surface facilities by the time US-Canadian acquired the project in 2004.
