Consolidated Spire Ventures Ltd.     [CZS:TSX-V]   

Tetasiari Property, Sinaloa Spire has signed a letter of intent with MacMillan Gold Corp. on the 743 hectare Tetasiari Property in Sinaloa, Mexico. The Property is located 12km south of Pan American's Alamo Dorado deposit with reported resources of approximately 100 million ounces silver equivalent.  The Tetasiari Property is a new gold discovery with bulk tonnage potential and with no history of mining. Initial attention to the Tetasiari area was prompted by the large Alamo Dorado discovery to the north and reports of locals panning gold in nearby drainages. To date reconnaissance soil and rock sampling has been carried out by MacMillan with encouraging results. Anomalous gold-in-soil values in the range of 90-470ppb were found over large sections on two reconnaissance soil lines set one kilometer apart. Anomalous reconnaissance rock sample values range up to 1.6g/t Au across 3m. A field program of more detailed sampling has begun to better define targets for trenching and drilling. Results and more details on Spire's new property will be announced as they are received.
