Mr. Edward Farrauto, President and CEO of Pinecrest Resources Ltd. (TSX
VENTURE:PCR) ("Pinecrest" or the "Company) is pleased to announce that a Phase 1
exploration program has begun on the Company's Espiritu polymetallic
vein/breccia project, Sonora, Mexico. Pursuant to the terms of an option
agreement with Kootenay Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE:KTN) ("Kootenay Gold"), Pinecrest
can earn a 50% interest in the 10,000 ha Espiritu project by spending $1.0
million on exploration over a four year period and by issuing up to 750,000
common shares of Pinecrest over 3 years. Pinecrest is the operator on the
project (see Pinecrest News Release dated February 28th, 2011). 


The Phase 1 exploration program will focus on the south-western portion of the
property where mineralization is characterised by veins, breccias and stockworks
anomalous in silver, gold, copper, lead and zinc. The main mineralization in the
south-west is defined by several zones spread along a two km length. Fifty-eight
grab samples were collected by Kootenay Gold in 2009-2010 within the west,
central and eastern parts of the southwest polymetallic vein/breccia zone. The
polymetallic veins averaged 226 g/t Ag, 1.58% Pb, 1.57% Zn associated with 0.18
g/t Au and 0.15% Cu. The current exploration program on the Espiritu property
will include prospecting, geological mapping, trenching, rock chip sampling and
diamond drilling of high priority targets. The budget for this program is
$233,000.00


The technical disclosure in this release has been reviewed and verified by James
McDonald, P.Geo., a qualified person ("QP") as defined by National Instrument
