      08-27 - Ecuador approves new constitution, clears way for new
      mining law
=======================================================================

Mount Pearl, NL, Canada:   Cornerstone Capital Resources Inc.
(TSXV-CGP) (F-GWN) (B-GWN) (OTC-CTNFN) expects official confirmation of
the approval of President Correa's constitution project within one to
two weeks. Exit polls following the September 28 referendum showed
overwhelming support in favour of the new constitution.  Adoption of
the new constitution will clear the path for enactment of Ecuador's new
mining law by a congressional body which is expected to be sworn in by
mid October.  Various drafts of the new law have been circulating in
the country for some weeks, but the official version, which requires
approval by President Correa, has yet to be made public.  Similarly, a
new code of regulations to administer the act has yet to have public
review.

Cornerstone anticipates the government will act quickly to establish
the new rules for exploration and mining.  President Correa has been a
consistent advocate for responsible mining as an integral part of
Ecuador's economic development.    The new legislative body, the
"congressillo" should be in place by mid October, and it appears that
the government wants to deal with the new mining law on a priority
basis.  There is then a 60 day period in which to complete the new
regulations, a schedule which may permit resumption of field activities
early in 2009.  Cornerstone will provide further updates as new
information becomes available.

Cornerstone has maintained key staff in Ecuador during the mining
moratorium and is well-positioned to re-activate exploration programs
on its high potential Shyri project with partner Coastport Capital and
the Macara project with its strategic partner, Newmont.  Cornerstone
also has excellent precious metal prospects on its 100%-owned Monterrey
and Bella Maria properties.
