Tara Minerals Corp. released additional gold and silver assays from the Idaho Ponderosa Project. These results continue to support Tara's goal of mining the exposed surface portions of the known veins.

The recent samples were taken during bulk sampling of the priority veins at the Ponderosa Project and continued to show encouraging results from the area of interest. Significant assay results from the bulk sampling, exploration trenching and geologic mapping, collected from the mineralized portions of the priority structures, are presented below. Exploration work carried out in two new areas of the project also returned very encouraging results.

The Ponderosa Project consists of 6,721 acres of both patented and unpatented mining claims in central Idaho, USA. The optioned claims include previously mined veins with historic sampling of the exposed outcrops averaging 0.5 oz/t gold.
