CHICAGO, IL -- (Marketwire) -- 07/24/12 -- Tara Minerals Corp. (OTCBB: TARM) (BERLIN: 6T3) is pleased to provide initial results from a Metallurgical study by Consultores Metallurgicos of Chihuahua, Chih, Mexico regarding material from the Don Roman district. The recovery rates achieved, as summarized below, should significantly enhance project economics. The study recovery process correlates with the current design and configuration of the centralized Don Roman mill.

Tom Claridge, Senior Mining and Plant Engineer, commented, "These results are encouraging as it shows that the current mill configuration matches the process needed to achieve economical metal recovery rates from the Don Roman district. It also means that the mill, with some minor modifications, can be re-commissioned in a short period of time."

The Metallurgical study concluded that through a process of differential flotation and sulfidization, ores from the significant structures currently under consideration for production from within the district can achieve recoveries of 68.8% for gold, 84.5% for silver, 70.2% for zinc, 81.8% for lead, and 60.1% for copper.

Tara's expanded team is currently reviewing and analyzing the numerous sampled and mined mineralized veins within the Don Roman district to develop a district wide exploration, mining, and processing plan. All on-going and future work activities will be conducted in a NI 43-101 compliant manner with an eventual goal of issuing a series of NI 43-101 compliant Technical Reports for the Don Roman district. The available NI 43-101 Technical Report, completed in July 2009, focused only on the substantial potential of the five concessions, totaling 817 acres, adjoining the mill. Tara now has 100% ownership in over 25,400 acres in close proximity to the Don Roman mill. This does not take into account the 370 acre Champinon iron ore property, also located within the district, which continues to progress towards 2012 production.
