Based in Edmonton, Alberta, Firestone Ventures Inc. is exploring and advancing its road-accessible Torlon Hill zinc-lead-silver project in Guatemala, Central America. Since early 2006, 8,400 metres of drilling in 101 holes has identified mineral resources totalling 330 million pounds of zinc, 114 million pounds of lead and 978,000 ounces of silver. The Torlon Hill deposit is on or near-surface and is open for expansion.
In Nevada, U.S.A., Firestone has an option to earn 100% interest in the Antelope project. Surface exploration has defined a a corridor of carbonate hosted non-sulphide zinc-lead-silver soil anomalies and stratabound mineralization over 4 km. Firestone has staked an additional 31 mineral claims, bringing the total Antelope land package up to 49 lode mining claims (400 hectares). Firestone is also evaluating other zinc prospects in the southwest United States.
