Mount Pearl, newfoundland--Cornerstone Capital Resources Inc. ("Cornerstone" or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE:CGP)(FRANKFURT:GWN)(BERLIN:GWN)(OTCBB:CTNXF) announces that drilling has commenced at the Alpala prospect at the Cascabel copper-gold project in Ecuador. The first drill hole, CSD-13-001, is positioned to test the stockwork zone of mineralization which has been sampled on surface by trenching (TR46) yielding 45.6 m @ 0.59% Cu and 0.81 g/t Au. This hole is planned to have a depth of 300 metres and will continue if mineralization is encountered below this level.
