Mustang Announces Progress on Pilot Plant Construction

NEW YORK, Feb. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Mustang Alliances Inc. (OTCBB: MSTG) ("Mustang") is pleased to announce an update on the construction of the pilot plant currently being built on the companies concession.

Mustangs engineering and ground team is making significant progress working on completing the logistical aspects of the property as well as the assembly of the production equipment to allow for operations to commence.

The first area on the concessions the company has targeted for operations is the Tajo-San Antonio project, which has significant potential for not only the development of a large high-grade gold deposit but for immediate production from the pilot mill being constructed on-site. The excellent gravity recovery characteristics of the ore (+80%), favorable mining configuration and the high-grade nature of the deposit are all positives for development of the initial ore zone while underground exploration is developing additional ounces. Mustang is evaluating the quality of adits, portals and underground tunnel workings for production planning purposes. Metallurgical samples continue to be collected from Mustang concessions located within the Choluteca Mining District. The samples will form the basis for ongoing Mineralogical and Metallurgical work as Mustang continues to advance towards production.

Mustang has arranged to enter immediate production via a purchase of mining equipment .The arrangement fast tracks Mustang's into production and in a cost effective manner. The mine production plans will provide employment and development in the Choluteca Region and will be conducted in accordance with international environment, health, safety and social standards. Mustang's planned commencement of gold production comes at a time of rapid emergence of the Honduran economy, fuelled in part by recent initiatives by the Honduran Government to amend the Mining Law, concluding free trade agreements with Canada and a parliamentary democracy.

In addition to planned production and cash flow from mining operations, Mustang will continue a modern, large scale in depth exploration of Mustang's properties, targeting the delineation and discovery of major gold deposits. The next exploration areas to be drilled are targets defined by geophysics and geological mapping in late 2011.

Leonard Sternheim, Mustang's Chief Executive Officer, states, "Mustang is obviously having a transformational year with the company's recent announcement regarding production plans. As we plan our growth and transition into mining production, we should benefit immensely from our managements international experience and proven track record with both major mining companies and junior explorers. This combination will serve Mustang well as it targets production alongside of continued aggressive exploration of the Choluteca District."
