  WALLACE, ID, Apr 10 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
 Exploration is continuing at Shoshone's (OTCBB: SHSH) Bilbao project in
Zacatecas, Mexico.  The goal of the current drill program is to upgrade the
categorization of the existing resource in pursuit of Canadian National
Instrument 43-101 compliance. A press release summarizing the ongoing infill
drilling may be viewed at

    Shoshone is continuing to enhance its Lakeview Mill.  Expanded lighting,
insulation
and sheeting have been installed in the mill building, enabling year round
milling
operation. A roof was constructed over the ore chute, and heavy equipment for
transporting ore has been refurbished and upgraded to meet current safety
standards. These improvements will be completed by May, at which time ore
processing will resume.

    During summer, 2008 Shoshone expects to be mining limited amounts of ore
from
the Weber Shear, the mineralized structure that hosts both the Weber and Keep
Cool mines.  Fresh ore from this operation will be processed at the nearby
Lakeview Mill.  The company anticipates shipping concentrates from the mill in
late
fall.

    Shoshone holds 1100 acres in the Lakeview District containing 6 formerly
producing
mines.  The company plans to begin a district-wide exploration program in July,
focusing first on identification of underground structures followed by an
aggressive
drill program targeting mineralized structures.
