Earth Search Sciences, Inc., (OTCBB:ESSE), offered additional details today on the release of its archived airborne hyperspectral data. The data indicates that undiscovered hyperspectral copper porphyry pathfinders from Chile and Peru are resident within the archived information. In the past, Noranda Minerals made more than 20 previously unknown copper porphyry discoveries from its initial contract with Earth Search in Chile. As a result, Noranda credited the Probe-1 airborne hyperspectral system as marking a revolution in geological mapping and mineral exploration (see http://www.earthsearch.com). The archived hyperspectral data is contiguous to major copper porphyry mine discoveries in Chile where recent discoveries revealed tremendous potential production values. Examples include the Collahuasi Copper Mine with a potential annual value of $3.5 billion; the Chuquicamata Copper Mine with a value of $5 billion; the Los Pelambres Copper Mine with a value of $2.3 billion; the Escondida Copper Mine with a value of $5.8 billion, and; the Quebrada Blanca Copper Mine with a value of $0.6 billion. The Earth Search archive also includes data the company collected from key areas in Peru where major mines have been discovered. Examples include the Antamina Copper Mine with potential production value of $3 billion; Cuajone with a value of $1.5 billion; Toquepala with a value of $1.25 billion; Tintaya with a value of $1 billion, and; Cerro Verde with a value of $750 million. �We are confident this vast archive of information contains significant unclaimed and untitled discoveries of copper porphyry and other minerals,� said Larry Vance, chairman of Earth Search Sciences. "We are also confident that mining companies will recognize the inherent value and corresponding business development opportunity presented by this data.� It is currently estimated that the world needs 30 major new copper mines by 2016 to meet projected demand (source: Brook Hunt Mining and Metal Industry Consultants). About Earth Search Sciences Earth Search Sciences, Inc.�s (OTCBB:ESSE) revolutionary hyperspectral technology provides the ability to accurately read the chemical properties of surface substances from great altitudes and produce easily interpreted maps allowing the user to identify specific minerals and substances on the surface of the earth by their diagnostic reflectance patterns. Ultimately, this remote sensing capability�identifies a greater number of exploration targets quickly and economically, monitors the environmental situation, and improves the probability of finding anomalies. Older, more conventional methods would take�decades to cover the same area, and at a much greater cost. Within the realm of exploration, remote sensing does not replace the need for geological knowledge, geochemistry, geophysics, seismic, drilling, etc, which are some of the more conventional tools used for exploration. This news release includes forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. The information reflects numerous assumptions as to industry performance, general business and economic conditions, regulatory and legal requirements, taxes and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of the company. Similarly, this information assumes certain future business decisions that are subject to change. There can be no assurance that the results predicted here will be realized. Actual results may vary from those represented, and those variations may be material.
