			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>May 9, 2012 – Driven Capital Corp. (TSXV: DVV) (“Driven” or the “Company”)</strong> is pleased to announce that it has applied for a drill permit at its 100% optioned Blackwater East property, Nechako Plateau, British Columbia.</p>
<p>Driven’s property (formerly referred to as Kuyakuz) is comprised of 23 contiguous mineral claims totaling 8,472 hectares, and adjoins the eastern boundaries of New Gold Inc.’s Blackwater Gold Project. New Gold’s property hosts currently defined indicated and inferred resources totaling 7.8 million ounces of gold. The deposit remains open in all directions and at depth, and New Gold plans to drill over 200,000 metres at Blackwater during 2012; please refer to <a href="http://newgold.com/Theme/NewGold/files/documents_news/March-2012-Blackwater-update-vMarch-7-2012.pdf" target="_blank">New Gold Inc’s. news release dated March 7, 2012</a> for more details.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Driven’s Multi-Year Area-Based permit application for Blackwater East proposes a total of 2,000 metres of diamond drilling producing NQ sized core in approximately 13 drill holes. Drilling would be confined within the prospective south-southeast areas of the property, which have already been permitted and line-cut for a forthcoming geophysical survey.</p>
<p>The permit area covers a regional magnetic anomaly that coincides with in-soil geochemical anomalies identified during the 2011 field season, featuring elevated levels of silver, copper, lead and zinc as well as scattered high gold values up to 530 ppb gold. Follow-up prospecting over the coincident anomalies revealed some extensive areas of moderate alteration with some included zones of silicification.</p>
<p>The Company has contracted Peter E. Walcott &amp; Associates Limited to carry out 27 line kilometers of ground magnetic and induced-polarization (IP) surveys this field season. Driven has retained Coast Mountain Geological Ltd. to manage the drill permitting process.</p>
<p>The results from the IP and magnetic geophysical surveys in conjunction with the 2011 soil geochemical results will dictate target selection and priority for the proposed 2,000m drill program at Blackwater East.</p>
<p>This news release has been prepared on behalf of the Directors of the Company, who accept responsibility for its contents. Technical information has been reviewed and approved by Richard Kemp, P.Geo., a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.</p>
<p><strong>Driven Capital Corp.</strong> is deploying its accomplished technical and management team toward the exploration of its portfolio of highly prospective precious metals projects in the Yukon and British Columbia.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – April 30</strong><strong>th</strong><strong>, 2012 &#8211; StoneShield Capital Corp. </strong><strong>(STS &#8211; TSX Venture Exchange; 5XS – Frankfurt Stock Exchange) (“StoneShield” or the “Company”)</strong> is pleased to provide shareholders with an update on exploration activities at the Company’s Goldtooth project in Inyo County, CA. The Goldtooth project consists of two separate claim blocks, located 11 kilometers apart, bookending Atna Resources’ Briggs Gold Mine.</p>
<p>The Company is in the process of modifying an existing Plan of Operations (the “Plan”) permit for drilling in the South Goldtooth claim block. This drill permit was originally issued in 2004 by the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”). Modifications to the Plan include adding 12 new holes in the northernmost portion of the claim block directly south of the Briggs Gold Mine. Some of these new holes are as close as 150 meters to the final perimeter of the Briggs Goldtooth Pit, which is currently under expansion. Some previously permitted holes are being moved to existing roads or logistically friendlier locations to minimize disturbance, and five previously planned holes have been removed from the drill plan due to poor access. The total number of holes will be increased from 18 to 25. Other modifications include the ability to use of a track-mounted drill rigs in addition to a buggy-mounted drill rig and the ability to drill with mud. The modified 25 hole program will have a disturbance of less than one acre.</p>
<p>This modified drill program has been recently staked and flagged in the field by Stoneshield’s Chief Geologist in preparation for archaeological and wildlife/botanical clearance surveys to be performed during May. Proposals for these surveys are currently being evaluated and contractors will be selected by the end of April. The field surveys and reports are expected to be finalized by the end of May 2012 and will be submitted to the BLM in anticipation of a fall drill program at Goldtooth.</p>
<p>StoneShield also recently engaged Rio Rico Land Survey to stake an additional 31 claims at the Jackpot claim block to the north of the Briggs Gold Mine. The staking crew is currently in the field completing the work. The purpose of this new staking is a) to add ground in the northern Jackpot boundary in an area of known mineralization outlined by surface rock samples; b) to add ground along the main, mineralizing Goldtooth fault along the eastern boundary; and c) to fill gaps between the southern boundary and competitor&#8217;s claims to the south to cover portions of the Goldtooth fault, altered areas and ground near the old Goldbug mine which has been in small scale production from 1893 to the present.</p>
<p>StoneShield previously announced its exploration plans over the next year for the Goldtooth project. In the Jackpot claim block, Company geologists have recommended a 30 kilometer Ground Magnetic Survey over the northern block to be performed in conjunction with a 30 kilometer Gradient Array Induced Polarization program to outline new drill targets. A minimum 4,500 meters of reverse circulation drilling is planned to test for gold mineralization at depth in the northern block. Prior drilling in the southern portion of the Jackpot claim block saw half of the historic drill holes intercept significant gold mineralization, including 20 meters of 2.33 g/t gold, 15 meters of 1.6 g/t gold and 24 meters of 1.16 g/t gold and 1.5 meters of 18.4 g/t gold.</p>
<p>The South Goldtooth claim block has significant structural preparation, alteration, favorable host rocks and gold mineralization intermittently exposed near the range front along its entire length. Stoneshield’s claims are within 400 meters of the existing Goldtooth open pit and within 150 meters of Atna’s proposed pit expansion. A minimum 3,000 meter reverse circulation drill program is anticipated to begin in the fall of 2012. A 9.5 kilometer Dipole-Dipole Induced Polarization program is planned at South Goldtooth to help plan a second phase of drilling.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>April 19, 2012 – Driven Capital Corp. (TSXV: DVV) (“Driven” or the “Company”)</strong> is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement with Tarsis Resources Ltd. (TSXV: TCC) (“Tarsis”) to acquire a 60% interest in the White River gold-copper-silver property (“White River”) in the Yukon Territory, Canada.</p>
<p>“We’re extremely excited about the opportunity to earn into White River and partner with Tarsis,” said Toma Sojonky, Driven’s President &amp; CEO. “We intend to drill this highly prospective property as soon as weather and logistics allow.”</p>
<p>“White River has the potential to host Yukon’s next significant precious metals discovery,” stated Tarsis’ President &amp; CEO, Marc Blythe, P.Eng. “We are very pleased to have Driven’s strong geological team advancing the property and look forward to sharing their success.  Yukon’s exploration season begins shortly and we intend to provide a comprehensive handover to assist Driven in commencing work.”</p>
<p>Located approximately 11km north of the settlement of Koidern within the prolific Tintina Gold Belt, White River is comprised of 335 contiguous quartz claims totaling approximately 7,000 hectares. The property is accessed via a 5-minute helicopter trip from a 3,000-foot airstrip at the White River Lodge on the Alaska Highway, 390km northwest of Whitehorse.</p>
<p><strong>The White River Property</strong></p>
<p>White River covers a large area of hydrothermal alteration and mineralization, showing characteristics of both intrusion-related gold, and structurally-hosted, bonanza grade, gold-copper-silver mineralizing systems.</p>
<p>Tarsis targeted and staked White River as a grassroots discovery in 2010, after identifying historical stream-sediment anomalies that coincided with a magnetic anomaly outlined in the recently flown YGS/GSC airborne magnetic &amp; radiometric survey.  <strong>Subsequent to Tarsis’ discovery, Teck Resources Ltd. has staked a large block of claims adjoining White River to the south.</strong></p>
<p>During the 2010 and 2011 field seasons, Tarsis carried out prospecting, geological mapping, ridge/spur and grid geochemical soil sampling and hand trenching on the property. Prospecting samples from outcrop and float at “White River West” returned assay values from below detection to <strong>39.8 g/t gold</strong>, 3 ppm to <strong>8.52% copper</strong> and below detection to <strong>1,310 g/t silver</strong>. Follow-up prospecting and grid/infill sampling have thus far identified at least three zones and two showings, having strong soil anomalies of gold, arsenic, bismuth and tungsten.</p>
<p>Eleven hand trenches were completed across five separate structures spanning over one kilometre of the property, centered within the main portion of the gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly defining White River West. Strongly anomalous gold values were identified in nine of eleven hand trenches, with trench TR-HG11-02 featuring a channel sample returning <strong>82.2 g/t gold across 1.0 metre</strong>; and a grab and an auger sample from the core portion of the same exposure returning <strong>214 g/t gold and 129 g/t gold</strong>, respectively.</p>
<p>These results prompted Tarsis to design a first-phase diamond-drill and supplementary exploration program, which Driven plans to execute during the 2012 field season. In March 2012, Tarsis submitted an application for a Class 3 land use Permit to cover all planned project activities; Tarsis has consulted with all relevant parties to the permitting process including the appropriate First Nations.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>The Option Agreement </strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Under the terms of the option agreement, Driven can acquire a 60% interest in and to White River by paying to Tarsis the sum of $400,000 and issuing 2,000,000 common shares in installments over a term ending on January 15, 2016; and incurring expenditures on White River in the aggregate amount of $4,250,000 over the same term, with a first-year commitment of $500,000 including not less than 1,500 metres of drilling. Consideration of $50,000 and 250,000 Driven shares are due and payable to Tarsis upon TSX Venture Exchange acceptance of the acquisition, which is a condition precedent to the agreement. The interest being acquired by Driven is subject to a 2 percent net smelter return royalty, of which 1 percent can be purchased for $2,000,000.</p>
<p>The agreement provides that upon Driven fully exercising its option, <strong>a 60/40 Joint Venture between Driven and Tarsis will be established in order to further explore and develop White River.</strong></p>
<p>A finder’s fee of 75,000 Driven common shares issued from treasury is payable in connection with this acquisition, subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.</p>
<p>Marc G. Blythe, P.Eng., is the Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 who supervised the preparation of the technical information contained in this press release.  Mr. Blythe is the President &amp; CEO of Tarsis Resources Ltd., the optionor of the White River property to Driven Capital Corp.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – April 3</strong><strong>rd</strong><strong>, 2012 &#8211; StoneShield Capital Corp.</strong><strong> (STS &#8211; TSX Venture Exchange; 5XS – Frankfurt Stock Exchange) (“StoneShield” or the “Company”)</strong> is pleased to provide shareholders with recent positive sampling results from the Company’s Goldtooth project, Inyo County, CA. The project bookends the Briggs gold mine currently operated by Atna Resources and consists of two separate claim blocks, the Jackpot claim block directly to the north and the South Goldtooth claim block directly to the south of the mine property.</p>
<p>A second round of surface sampling was completed in early February to continue assessment of Stoneshield’s Goldtooth project. A total of 121 samples were collected, mostly from the Jackpot claim block, to follow up on previously identified zones of gold mineralization (please see our February 2, 2012 new release). The results of this second phase of surface sampling are very encouraging, with approximately half of the samples containing strongly anomalous gold from 50 ppb up to 5.45 g/t gold.</p>
<p>A 0.5 kilometer wide by 4 kilometer long zone of alteration, faulting and gold mineralization is present at Jackpot, focused along the district wide Goldtooth Fault feeder structure. Zones of better-developed mineralization range up to 100 meters by 400 meters in size and are often centered around low angle structures secondary to the Goldtooth Fault. This geologic environment is very similar to that at the Briggs mine. In addition to the widespread presence of the Briggs Mine Formation, the host rock for most gold deposits in the district, large bodies of subvolcanic intrusive rocks also host gold mineralization at Jackpot. This intrusive event is believed to be the drivers of the gold mineralizing system throughout the Briggs district.</p>
<p>Kris Kottmeier, President of Stoneshield Capital said “We are very excited about the potential at both Jackpot and South Goldtooth. We believe our project represents an excellent opportunity to discover additional economic gold deposits in the Briggs district, both underground mineable and open pit mineable.</p>
<p>StoneShield recently announced its exploration plans over the next year for the project. In the Jackpot claim block, Company geologists have recommended a 30 kilometer Ground Magnetic Survey over the northern block to be performed in conjunction with a 30 kilometer Gradient Array Induced Polarization program to outline new drill targets. A minimum 4,500 meters of reverse circulation drilling is planned to test for gold mineralization at depth in the northern block. Prior drilling in the southern portion of the Jackpot claim block saw half of the historic drill holes intercept significant gold mineralization, including 20 meters of 2.33 g/t gold, 15 meters of 1.6 g/t gold and 24 meters of 1.16 g/t gold and 1.5 meters of 18.4 g/t gold.</p>
<p>The South Goldtooth claim block has significant structural preparation, alteration, favorable host rocks and gold mineralization intermittently exposed near the range front along its entire length. Stoneshield’s claims are within 400 meters of the existing Goldtooth open pit and within 150 meters of Atna’s proposed pit expansion. Currently, 18 drill holes are permitted in our South Goldtooth block. A 3,000 meter reverse circulation drill program is anticipated to begin in the fall of 2012. A 9.5 kilometer Dipole-Dipole Induced Polarization program is planned at South Goldtooth to help plan a second phase of drilling.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – February 2</strong><strong>nd</strong><strong>, 2012 &#8211; StoneShield Capital Corp. </strong><strong>(STS &#8211; TSX Venture Exchange; 5XS – Frankfurt Stock Exchange) (“StoneShield” or the “Company”)</strong> is pleased to provide shareholders with results of recent field reconnaissance sampling at the Company’s Goldtooth project, Inyo County, CA.</p>
<p>StoneShield’s key geological consultant spent five days at Goldtooth over the winter holiday break as part of the Company’s due diligence prior to executing on the Goldtooth option (announced January 25th, 2012). A total of 121 rock samples were collected from both StoneShield’s south and north claims blocks which bookend Atna Resources Ltd.’s producing Briggs Gold Mine.</p>
<p>In the southern claim block, surface rock samples were collected in previously untested areas. Results from sample assays revealed a 50 meter anomalous gold zone on StoneShield’s property, located approximately 570 meters south of Atna’s producing Gold Tooth open pit. Results in this area include 3.83 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold, 1.03 g/t gold, 0.91 g/t gold and 0.33 g/t gold. The highlighted results are significant as they demonstrate the presence of gold mineralization along the same mineral belt that hosts the active Briggs Gold Mine. The southern block samples are exciting and suggest a continuation of mineralization related to the Gold Tooth structure as projected along strike into StoneShield’s claim block.</p>
<p>In the northern claim block, a second zone with numerous elevated gold values was also identified. Assay results from surface rock samples in this area include grades up to 0.62 g/t gold, 0.61 g/t gold and 0.48 g/t gold. The samples with the highest gold values were collected from within a favorable horizon at least 12 meters thick and a visual extent of at least 100 meters in exposure. Other samples within the area had detectable gold and further work is needed to better identify the controls and locations of mineralization.</p>
<p>Using Atna’s model, the majority of mineralization is located on the west, hanging-wall side of the mineralized Gold Tooth fault. The highlighted assays appear to be from the footwall side of the projected Gold Tooth feature, suggesting a proximal relation to the mineralized Gold Tooth structure, covered by colluvium to the west.</p>
<p>Further reconnaissance work is immediately planned at Goldtooth. This will include a combination of detailed mapping to better asses the mineralized occurrences in relation to structure and lithology, and follow up sampling to expand the areas of known surface mineralization and identify additional target areas.</p>
<p>StoneShield is currently preparing full plans for 2012 and 2013 exploration at Goldtooth to include drill testing for gold mineralization on known and possible new targets on the southern and northern Goldtooth claim blocks.</p>

(STS &#8211; TSX Venture Exchange; 5XS – Frankfurt Stock Exchange) (“StoneShield” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive Option Agreement with Bronco Resources &#8230; <a href="http://www.progressive-exploration.com/index.php/2012/01/25/stoneshield-executes-option-to-acquire-drill-ready-goldtooth-gold-project/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA- January 25</strong><strong>th</strong><strong>, 2012 &#8211; StoneShield Capital Corp. </strong>(STS &#8211; TSX Venture Exchange; 5XS – Frankfurt Stock Exchange) (“StoneShield” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive Option Agreement with Bronco Resources Corporation (“Bronco”) under the same terms and conditions as the Letter of Intent (“LOI”), previously announced by the Company on October 3, 2011, to acquire the Panamint Gold Project adjacent to the Briggs Gold Mine, Inyo County, CA. The Company has since changed the name of the Panamint to that of the Goldtooth Project (“Goldtooth”).</p>
<p>Goldtooth consists of two main claim blocks totaling 162 lode mining claims and 10 associated placer mining claims which cover a combined 2003 hectares of land. These claims lie in the same mineral belt as the Briggs Gold Mine (“Briggs”) owned and operated by Atna Resources Ltd. Current known gold at Briggs totals some 1.13 million ounces of gold (NI 43-101 Technical Report, Briggs Project). Prior production at Briggs is 550,000 ounces of gold.</p>
<p>“StoneShield is pleased with the very reasonable terms of the Goldtooth option agreement and is eager to explore and drill the Goldtooth Project. It is the most advanced- stage project the Company has yet acquired and lies next to a profitable, operating mine.” commented StoneShield President/CEO Kris Kottmeier. “The Company has retained the services of a top, new consulting geologist familiar with Briggs-style geology and mineralization to assist with the Goldtooth exploration. StoneShield’s Chief Geologist has direct experience in this prolific mining region and, along with the Company’s three geologist board members, agrees the potential for the discovery of significant, new gold deposits at Goldtooth is excellent.”</p>
<p>The southern Goldtooth claim block is located approximately 600 metres from the Goldtooth pit, which is the southernmost production pit at Briggs. Drilling across the Goldtooth Fault feeder structures adjacent and beneath the Goldtooth pit on the Briggs mine property has intercepted potentially underground mineable mineralization such as 87 metres of 12.88 grams per tonne (&#8220;g/t&#8221;) gold and 38m of 12.75 g/t gold. Canyon Resources was the discoverer of the Briggs deposit and former owner/operator of the Briggs mine.(<a href="http://www.canyonresources.com/projects/goldtooth.php" target="_blank">http://www.canyonresources.com/projects/goldtooth.php</a>).</p>
<p>Similar potential for both open pit and underground mineable gold deposits exists on the Goldtooth property. The Goldtooth Fault is believed to run the entire length of the southern Goldtooth claim block along the range front beneath thin alluvial cover. High- grade surface grab rock samples collected by Bronco on the Goldtooth claims near the range front include 18 g/t gold, 30 g/t gold, 37 g/t gold, and 61 g/t gold. East-west cross faults control formation of gold deposits at Briggs, are inferred to intersect the Goldtooth Fault in numerous locations of the southern Goldtooth claim block and represent attractive, permitted drill targets. Despite excellent surface indications, the southern Goldtooth claim block has never been drill tested.</p>
<p>The northern Goldtooth claim block is located just to the west of the Goldtooth Fault and contains several areas of widespread gold mineralization. Surface grab rock samples assay up to 27.0 g/t, 3.3 g/t and 1.7 g/t gold. A total of nine shallow drill holes have been completed during the 1990s by previous companies on the northern Goldtooth claim block. All holes contain gold mineralization, including 20 metres of 2.33g/t gold, 15 metres of 1.6 g/t gold and 24 metres of 1.16 g/t gold. StoneShield is evaluating options for a geophysical survey in the area and will begin the process of permitting a drill program for the 2012-13 field season.</p>
<p>The western slope of the Panamint Mountain range is composed of rocks ranging in age from Precambrian to Quaternary. Prior exploration in the area has focused on both Precambrian-age rocks and rocks thought to represent Tertiary-age volcanic units. Both rock types have undergone significant amounts of deformation. Mineralization in both rock types is thought to be epithermal, and consists of a simple assemblage of gold, pyrite, Fe-rich dolomite and quartz. Although the gold mineralization is a replacement phenomenon, the distribution of mineralization is structurally controlled. The mineralization is controlled by both high- and low-angle faults. The Goldtooth exploration model is based on favorable district wide geology and gold mineralization already discovered immediately adjacent to the property. StoneShield believes that the Goldtooth claims have potential for both large, open pittable, heap-leachable gold deposits as well as for structurally-controlled, high-grade gold deposits mineable by underground mining methods.</p>
<p>StoneShield is pleased with the very reasonable terms of the Option Agreement. Under the terms of the Option Agreement, StoneShield will acquire a 100% interest in Goldtooth by making cash payments totalling US$900,000 over the next eight years and incur a minimum of US$2.1M in exploration expenditures over the next five years commencing on the first anniversary of the execution of the Option Agreement.</p>
<p>As previously announced, US$5,000 was paid to Bronco upon execution of the LOI. Within 10 business days of the execution of the agreement StoneShield will make a further payment of US$15,000 and thereafter agreed to amounts on the anniversary of the execution of the definitive agreement. Bronco shall retain a 2.5% net smelter returns royalty that can be acquired by StoneShield for US$500,000 cash for each 0.5%.</p>
<p>StoneShield is a publicly traded exploration company focused on the discovery of high- value precious metals deposits in North America. The Company&#8217;s experienced management team boasts multiple discoveries, and brings over 145 years of combined experience in the mining and exploration sector.
