Parlane Resource Corp. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: PPP) is
pleased to announce commencement of a Phase I surface exploration
program at the 360 hectare Mercedes epithermal gold-silver project
in the Sierra Madre gold-silver belt, in Sonora, Mexico.
The current program will evaluate the potential of the main
mineralized zone, "La Lamosa" ridge, and evaluate, through mapping
and soil and rock sampling, additional showings on the property
prior to a 2,000 m diamond drilling program scheduled to commence
in late summer, 2011.
Three holes drilled in 2008 on the "La Lamosa" ridge intersected
gold mineralization starting from surface and returned:
