Firestone Ventures Inc. ("Firestone" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:FV)(FRANKFURT:F5V) is pleased to announce the appointment and the
addition of two new members to its Advisory Board; Dr. Keith Barron, Ph.D. and
Mr. Terry Tucker, P. Geo. 


"Both Dr. Barron and Mr. Tucker have previous significant discovery successes
and are welcome additions to Firestone's strategic advisory committee. Both will
assist Firestone with identifying geological and development opportunities as
well as strategic initiatives to move the company forward. Firestone has been
advancing its zinc-lead-silver projects in anticipation of a supply gap with
several of the world's major zinc mines closing within the next few years." said
Lori Walton, President and CEO of Firestone. "Both new advisors just completed
on-site due diligence accompanied by Ms. Pamela Strand, Firestone's new
Executive Vice President. In addition, Firestone has met with government
officials in Guatemala who have outlined the new President's action plan on
resource development."


Dr. Barron is an exploration geologist with over 30 years' experience in the
mining sector. He has consulted on all the continents except for Antarctica,
searching for such commodities as gold, silver, diamonds, uranium, copper,
platinum, and industrial minerals. He holds a Ph.D. in Geology from the
University of Western Ontario and a BSc. (Hons) in Geology from the University
of Toronto. In 2001 he privately co-founded Ecuador gold explorer Aurelian
Resources Inc., which was listed on the TSX-V in 2003 and made the Fruta del
Norte gold discovery in 2006. The company was bought by Kinross Gold in 2008 for
$1.2 billion. He is the founder and a Director of U3O8 Corp. exploring for
uranium in Guyana, Argentina and Colombia. In 2008 he was awarded the PDAC's
Thayer Lindsley International Discovery Award for his role in the discovery of
the Fruta del Norte gold deposit and he was also jointly named the Northern
Miner's Mining Man of the Year 2008. Dr. Barron continues his activities through
two private companies, Solidus Resource Capital Ltd. and Aurania Resources Ltd.
in the search for worldwide mining and exploration opportunities.

development projects worldwide. Most recently Mr. Tucker was the CEO and

project in Ethiopia. Mr. Tucker was also President & CEO and Director of

Canada, including the discovery of the Wolverine Mine gold-rich massive sulphide
deposit. His experience includes a number of prominent roles at strategic,

About Firestone 

Firestone has been working in Guatemala since 2004. Our main project is the
Torlon Hill zinc-lead-silver project in Guatemala, Central America. The combined
Measured and Indicated Resource totals 1,891,636 tonnes grading 7.32% zinc,
2.41% lead and 14.25 g/t silver (at a 3% zinc-equivalent cut-off). An additional
169,705 tonnes is classified as Inferred resources grading 4.42% zinc, 1.96%
lead and 12.53 g/t silver (see news release Nov. 18, 2008). In addition, there
is a basal zone of unoxidized sulphide mineralization which is not yet well
defined by the drilling to date. The deposit remains open to expansion and
high-grade zinc oxide mineralization defined to date is on or near surface.
