Xtierra Inc. (TSX VENTURE:XAG) ("Xtierra" or the "Company"), is pleased to
announce that it has engaged Runge Pincock Minarco ("RPM Global"), the world's
largest independent group of mining technical experts to take responsibility for
the completion of the feasibility study work on its Bilbao project, located in
the State of Zacatecas, Mexico and to act as Qualified Person in accordance with
National Instrument 43-101. 


RMP Global, under the leadership of Don Arsenault, P.Eng. (project sponsor) and
Kevin Tanas, P. Eng. (project manager), will coordinate and supervise the work
of various third party independent consultants who will continue to provide
specific input into their respective aspects of the study, including DRA
Americas, the former lead consultants who will now focus on the metallurgical
and process plant design issues along with the related infrastructure and will
co-author the study. Golder Associates will continue with the tailings disposal
design, geotechnical parameters for the underground mine design and
environmental issues.


RPM Global, having reviewed the extensive work done to date and the large amount
of information generated have recommended the completion of a pre-feasibility
study as an interim step. This will, importantly, provide an economic analysis
of the project on a timely basis while the final component pieces for a
definitive feasibility study are completed. 


Comment

Commenting on the appointment of RPM Global, Terence McKillen, Xtierra's
President & CEO said, "We believe that the depth and range of expertise that RPM
Global brings to the table and particularly their experience with Mexican
development projects, will be of great assistance in completing the Bilbao
feasibility study." 


The PFS will be upgradable to definitive feasibility study level relatively
quickly with some further engineering details to the paste plant and tailings
management infrastructure, confirming water resources through drilling of 4 test
wells and conducting pump tests, confirming the cost of purchasing water rights,
detailed EIS/EIA, and refining the operating and capital costs to +/- 15% and
any further recommendations evolving from the PFS. The process plant design,
including the related infrastructure, geotechnical 3D Modelling analysis for
underground design, majority of the underground design, surface service
buildings, power infrastructure, and revised NI 43-101 resources will be at or
near the FS level.
