LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - November 11, 2010) - Consorteum Holdings, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: CSRH) is pleased to announce that the Company's MasterCard benefits pilot program with the First Nations initiative in New Brunswick, Canada, has begun the second phase of implementation following successful deployment among the community's administration group.

The pilot program was recently doubled in size to include additional community members and is now accepting direct deposit of funds. Consorteum will continue to monitor the valuable data provided by the pilot for the launch of a nationwide initiative. Recently obtaining the capital required for further expansion, Consorteum anticipates having sufficient data for a scheduled multi-location rollout in early 2011.
