BCN Bacanora Minerals Ltd (delisted)

BACANORA MINERALS LTD. (TSX VENTURE:BCN) ("Bacanora" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce results of pilot plant testing and testing of clays from
borate-bearing sediments at its El Cajon borate deposit within the Magdalena
Borate Project, Sonora, Mexico.


The Company has successfully produced material grading 99% boric acid from its
pilot plant in Hermosillo on samples taken during bulk sampling of the
borate-bearing A unit at the El Cajon borate deposit. The purity of the boric
acid has been confirmed by Inspectorate Exploration & Mining Services Ltd.
("Inspectorate") based on x-ray powder diffraction data obtained from samples
that Inspectorate submitted to the Department of Earth & Ocean Sciences at the
University of British Columbia.


Concurrent with the boric acid testing, the Company submitted clay samples to
Grinding Solutions Ltd. ("Grinding Solutions"), a metallurgical and mineral
processing consultancy and laboratory services company based in the United
Kingdom. Grinding Solutions has performed initial test work on the clays from
the Magdalena Borate Project to determine whether the mineral characteristics of
the clays contain properties that would allow commercial drilling mud to be
produced. Based on such testing, Grinding Solutions concluded that a commercial
drilling mud product could be produced from the clays, subject to the
formulation of a specific process to produce such mud. Grinding Solutions has
recommended that further tests be carried out in order to formulate a process
for the production of a marketable drilling mud product.


Martin Vidal, President of Bacanora, commented "We are very pleased to be able
to produce a high purity boric acid having a grade of 99%. Boric acid samples
will be distributed to potential customers to gauge the demand and pricing for
the El Cajon boric acid. The Company plans to continue to move the boric acid
project forward towards the pre-feasibility stage with engineering design work
for a boric acid plant. In conjunction with this work, the Company will be
updating its mine plan and reviewing necessary capital and operating cost data
for a pre-feasibility report. We are also very pleased to have determined the
potential viability for a second commercial product to be produced from the
clays and look forward to working together with Grinding Solutions in order to
formulate a process for the production of a marketable drilling mud product"
