About Firestone Ventures Inc. 

Firestone is a Canadian-based exploration and development company with
zinc-lead-silver projects in Central America. Our 100% owned flagship project is
the Torlon Hill Zinc-Lead-Silver Project that hosts a NI 43-101 oxide resource
totaling 1,891,636 tonnes in the Measured and Indicated category grading 7.32%
zinc, 2.41% lead and 14.25 g/t silver. 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). The NI 43-101 resource used a 3% zinc
equivalent cut-off grade and a 35.5% zinc top-cap. The deposit remains open to
expansion.


A Preliminary Economic Assessment was completed on the Torlon Hill deposit in
March, 2013 by ProMet Dadi Africa (Pty) Ltd., South Africa (see news releases
Mar. 6 and Apr. 24, 2013). The PEA Highlights an operation with a five year mine
life producing a total of 303,977 tonnes of zinc concentrate at an average grade
of 35% zinc and 71,632 tonnes of silver rich lead concentrate at an average
grade 60% lead. The lead concentrate will also contain 766,800 oz of payable
silver. This projects a 45% IRR, an $18.1 million net present value ("NPV") at
an 8% discount rate, a 1.2 year payback with a capex of $26 Million for the
Torlon Hill Project using $0.80/lb Zn, $0.80/lb Pb and $24/oz Ag.


In addition to Torlon, Firestone also has a large land position covering a
significant portion of the Central Guatemala Zinc District with four drill ready
targets and over fifty zinc mineral occurrences. The land position has excellent
exploration potential and with systematic exploration could develop as the
world's next major zinc district. The common shares of the Company are currently
listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (symbol FV) and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange
(symbol F5V).
