Earth Search Sciences’ Hyperspectral Technology Helps Identify Existence and Location of New Precious Metals at El Capitan Property
LAKESIDE, Mont., March 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Earth Search Sciences, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ESSE – News); ( www.earthsearch.com ) announced today that El Capitan Precious Metals, Inc. credits Earth Search’s innovative Probe-1 hyperspectral remote sensing technology as a component in the identification of a potentially rich mineral field on the company’s property near Ruidoso, New Mexico.
“The technology Earth Search employed on the project helped us identify promising areas of mineralization,” said Chuck Motley, President and CEO of El Capitan. “These areas of mineralization are right where Earth Search’s technology indicated they would be. In addition, we are pleased that preliminary analysis indicates the deposit has good potential for production.”
Using an eight-acre parcel of known mineralization on El Capitan’s property as a baseline for comparison, Earth Search Sciences then expanded the original discovery and mapped an additional 8,000 acres of the property. The PROBE-1 hyperspectral instrument — which Earth Search uses in flight to identify specific minerals and substances on the surface of the earth — found indications of promising mineralization throughout the mapped area. El Capitan is planning to undertake a program to confirm the values of the discovery.
“The PROBE-1 hyperspectral instrument has again proven its capability in surface exploration for identifying the pathfinders leading to mineral deposits,” said Larry Vance, Chief Executive Officer of Earth Search Sciences. “We are pleased that our Probe-1 hyperspectral technology delivered for El Capitan Precious Metals helping to identify their discovery and we believe that this represents a significant step in demonstrating the effectiveness of our hyperspectral imaging technology.”
The Probe-1 has previously been successfully used in mineral exploration by one of the world’s largest mining companies, Noranda Minerals. ___________________________________________
