Hondo Minerals Meets Tennessee Mine Production Deadline

CHLORIDE, AZ, May 31, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - As an update, Hondo Minerals Corporation (OTC:BB HMNC), is pleased to announce that, as planned, it has completed the operation to produce ionized water which is the critical substance needed for the extraction of minerals as required by our process.

The ionized water will be produced in a nearby offsite to be stored and available for immediate use following the anticipated Mining Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) training, inspection and site review at the Tennessee Mine. The full mineral extraction process onsite will begin immediately following the MSHA regulatory and safety training certification.

William R. Miertschin Chairman and CEO of Hondo Minerals says, "With machinery in place to load and crush our tailings and electric generation to power our processing equipment, we await regulatory inspections for final approvals for our site and facilities."

Hondo's initial independent testing has indicated the Tennessee Mine tailings and dumps could produce an average of 1 oz. to 3 oz. of gold and about 30 oz. or more of silver per ton using our exclusive environmentally friendly technology. At the Tennessee Mine there are approximately a million tons of metal rich tailings and dump material.
