Hondo Minerals Confirms Onsite Lab Results with Independent Third Party Verification

CHLORIDE, AZ, April 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Hondo Minerals Corporation (OTCBB: HMNC.OB) announced today that it has received independent third party verification that confirms the onsite lab results previously reported by Hondo Minerals.

G.B Western, Inc., a California based independent mining consultant, verified samples, assays and processes through Acme Analytical Laborites, a Canadian certified assayer.  Results returned to the Company by those third parties have confirmed the previously reported results of our onsite lab. These results average within our initial range of approximately 1 oz gold per ton.

These samples and their corresponding assays vary by sample location in the 1 million ton tailings pile. The results are a reflection of more than 20 assays prepared by G.B. Western, Inc. These reports have also been used to assure that our onsite lab has been calibrated to a tolerance that is within +/- 3.65% of the results given by the Canadian certified lab.

The Company's equipment was calibrated by a trained professional in ICP Mass Spectrometry from its manufacturer, Thermo Scientific.

Bill Miertschin, Chairman and CEO of Hondo commented, "I am very pleased with these results confirming and validating our earlier onsite reports."   Bill continues to say, "We take pride in our lab facility and the accuracy of our findings, it makes me very satisfied to know that our results match that of an independent third party.  As such we feel even more confident in our innovative leeching and extraction process."
