SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Chuck Mottley, President and CEO of El Capitan Precious Metals, Inc. (OTCBB:ECPN.ob - News), has sent the following letter to shareholders:

Dear Shareholders,

For the past eight months El Capitan Precious Metals, Inc. has been conducting extensive metallurgical activities on the head ore of the Company’s New Mexico property. These activities have involved a number of companies: Copper State Analytical Lab, Inc., Planet Resource Recovery, Inc. and Arrakis Inc.

Arrakis is now working with our metallurgical research team in Denver. Preliminary reports from the team are very encouraging. In addition to their experience in dealing with micro-cluster and nano-technology, Arrakis has demonstrated the ability to analyze and recover the platinum group metals.

Based on this information the Company has appointed Arrakis to analyze the 230 core samples (all kept in chain of custody) from the previous drilling project. Along with these samples there will be blanks analyzed as well to confirm their results.

Arrakis is a well respected company within the industry. You may obtain more detailed information about Arrakis on their web site at www.arrakisinc.com.

The completion of this analysis will provide confirmation of values and methods of recovery as well as determine the cost of recovery. With this information the Company can provide an Investment Bank with the final information necessary to proceed in marketing the property.

For the first time in many years it is my belief that we have found the right team of experts who are solving the metallurgical issues and allow us to confirm the values and the ability to recover the precious metals of the El Capitan property.

Sincerely,

Chuck Mottley

President/CEO
