CHLORIDE, AZ, April 14 /PRNewswire/ - As an update, Hondo Minerals Corporation (OTCBB: HMNC), is pleased to announce the expansion of its operational infrastructure in preparation for the opening of the processing facility at the Tennessee mine.

Hondo has expanded its operational infrastructure with the addition of support vehicles, multiple pieces of earth moving equipment, a self contained assay and research lab, and a crush plant in preparation for initial ore processing and revenue production next month.
