WSRC Western Sierra Resource Corporation (CE)

Western Sierra Mining Corp., (Pink Sheets:WSRA) confirmed today that it had reached an agreement with the owners of the Silver Cord mine located in central Arizona to assist in the development of the mine leading to production or eventual sale.

Under the agreement, Western will work to develop additional geological data including deposit structure analysis on all three full claims and the expansion of the existing claim blocks.

The claims are located in the Black Canon Mining District on the east side of Turkey Creek in Yavapai County, Arizona. In September of 2010 initial small sampling results showed better than 1/2 ounce Au and 85 ounces silver/ton taken from the 910 feet of developed tunnel. The Silver Cord is a historically producing silver and gold property.

Western will initially continue with its evaluation of the hard rock portions of the claim blocks but will provide some geological review and sampling of the placer claim in Turkey Creek.
