EPZ Esperanza Resources Corp.

Esperanza Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:EPZ)(OTCQX:ESPZF) ("Esperanza" or the
"Company") today reported that the Company has entered into a surface rights
agreement (the "Agreement") for its wholly-owned Cerro Jumil gold project
("Cerro Jumil") in Morelos State, Mexico.


The Agreement is structured as a surface lease with the communal landowners and
has an initial term of 15 years. The Agreement applies to substantially all of
the land required for Cerro Jumil and provides for continued exploration and
development as well as for the planned construction and operation of a mine at
the project.


Greg Smith, President and CEO, commented, "I would like to express my
appreciation to the communal landholders for their continued support of Cerro
Jumil. Further, I want to reiterate the Company's commitment to cooperating
closely with the communal landholders and the local stakeholders generally to
ensure mutual benefit from the Company's activities in the area. This agreement
is a key step in the permitting process and in advancing Cerro Jumil to
production."


The Agreement was reached through the "Fomento a la Inversion Publica y Privada
en la Propiedad Rural" (the "FIPP program"). The FIPP program is a voluntary
federally funded and administered government program in Mexico that encourages
more efficient and productive use of rural land, facilitates a shared investment
between rural landowners and public and private investors and ensures legal
certainty exists for all parties.
