Casa Minerals Inc. announced that it has staked 25 mineral claims consisting of 494.48 acres contiguous to the Company's Congress Gold Mine property located in Congress, Arizona, following successful inaugural drilling program since the mine shut down in the early 1990s, (Assays pending). The Congress property is located approximately 100km northwest of Phoenix, Arizona and is accessible by road. Existing infrastructure allows year- round exploration activities.

The Congress veining system that has been mapped by Casa's geological team extends in a northwest- southeast direction. As a result of Casa's recent staking activity, the Company now owns the entire known extent of the prospective area of gold mineralization. Previous operators of the Congress mine, including Echo Bay Mines, explored parts of the western extension of the vein system.

The Company engaged Huit-Zollars Inc. to perform the staking. The newly staked claims in the northern portion of the property cover the previously unexplored probable extensions of the Congress and Niagara veins that supported the historic mine. Casa's exploration crews have identified target areas that if verified by on-going field and analytical work may comprise important new discoveries.
