British Columbia - New Tech Minerals Corp. NTM-CSE ('New Tech or the 'Company') is pleased to announce results from an inaugural drill program recently completed on its La Escondida Silver-Gold project located in Sonora, Mexico (the 'La Escondida Project').

The drill program consisted of 16 reverse circulation (RC) holes, totaling 1,780 metres, and was designed to investigate areas where previous rock-chip sampling returned high silver and elevated gold values along portions of the exposed strike lengths of two prominent veins.

Jonathan George, President & CEO of the Company, commented, 'This first ever drill program at the La Escondida Project has revealed what appears to be a very robust mineralized system and, of particular significance, is that the easternmost and deepest hole, 21ESC11RC, intersected the widest and highest grade mineralized zone encountered in the program, suggesting excellent potential along strike and at depth. Extensive follow-up exploration, including diamond drilling, is being planned to further evaluate the numerous mineralized zones which remain open in all directions.'
