GoldSpring, Inc. Enters Into Ten Year Mining Lease for Its Big Mike Copper Mine PrimeZone "PrimeZone "

GOLD HILL, Nev., Sept. 25, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- GoldSpring, Inc. (OTCBB:GSPG) announced today that it has entered into a ten year lease with a local company, controlled by a former GoldSpring director, for a 10 year lease of all of its mining claims for its Big Mike copper mine. The lease calls for a $50,000 initial payment, which is scheduled to be made at the beginning of this week to cover royalty payments due for the first two years of the lease term. Additionally, the lessee must pay GoldSpring $75,000 when a production permit is awarded, and $125,000 when commercial mining commences. Additionally, the lessee agrees to a work expenditure of $300,000 for environmental and engineering matters in the first twelve months of the lease. During the term of the lease, Gold spring will also receive a production royalty of between 3% and 5% of net returns from copper mining, dependent on the price of copper.
In discussing the new lease arrangement, GoldSpring's CEO, Rob Faber, stated: "The Big Mike Lease is a great deal for the Company as it allows us to generate cash flow from our Big Mike copper mine without utilizing resources and taking away focus from our main business, gold mining. The payment structure yields an initial cash payment, in addition to the potential of adding $300,000 worth of engineering and environmental work in the first twelve months and $200,000 in cash between now and the beginning of actual production. We also have several other transactions in process at least one of which we hope to consummate in the near future, adding possible further immediate cash flow, in addition to long term revenue opportunity."
