SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic, Oct. 8, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Santo Mining Corporation(OTCBB:SANP), (the "Company"), is pleased to announce that it has acquired 100% of Gexplo SRL's rights to the Shalee gold exploration claim in the Dominican Republic.
This highly prospective 42.75 square kilometer claim is within the famed Hispaniola Gold-Copper Back-Arc, and surrounded on all quadrants by numerous historical mine works and new gold discoveries. The most famous among them is the world-class Barrick Gold Pueblo Viejo gold mine, located to the southeast with 25.3 million ounces of gold and 147 million ounces of silver.

Santo Mining President Alain French has spent several months exploring in the adjacent area and has previously discovered several gold, silver and copper showings.
