VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - December 13, 2007) - Silverstone Resources Corp. ("Silverstone") (TSX VENTURE: SST) is pleased to report results from 44 additional drill holes (6,288m HQ core drilling) from the company's Phase IIA drilling on the Copala silver-gold project. Copala is located 60km ENE of Mazatlan, Sinaloa State, Mexico. The assay results are for infill and exploration drilling on the Animas-Refugio vein in the Clemens-El Muerto sector. Drilling has been completed in this sector of the vein and the company will release an independent resource estimate in the 1st quarter of 2008.

Highlights
- SC-07-98 - 5.59 meters grading 1.57 g/t gold and 223 g/t silver
- SC-07-99 - 7.91 meters grading 1.10 g/t gold and 138 g/t silver
- SC-07-103 - 15.53 meters grading 0.44 g/t gold and 62 g/t silver
- SC-07-105 - 7.52 meters grading 0.87 g/t gold and 153 g/t silver
- SC-07-110A - 13.9 meters grading 0.63 g/t gold and 145 g/t silver
- SC-07-125 - 4.0 meters grading 1.67 g/t gold and 214 g/t silver

The drill program included both infill and step out drill holes to define the extent of mineralization both down dip and along strike. Many of the holes peripheral to known mineralization contained only anomalous gold and silver values as expected. Previous press releases included results up to and including SC-07-86 with the exception of SC-07-80.

The mineralization in the Clemens-El Muerto sector varies considerably in width. Wider, lower grade zones near surface may be amenable to open pit mine development. Narrower and higher grade zones have potential for underground mining. Preliminary metallurgical test work by PRA of Vancouver indicated recoveries above 80% for both gold and silver for both standard flotation and cyanide leach processes. This work was undertaken on a single sample composite taken from the historic workings at both the Clemens and El Muerto mines. These flotation results were confirmed by a custom mill located within 7 km of the Animas-Refugio vein.

Phase III drilling at Copala is focused on the La Colorada vein. This area of current drilling is located about 5.5 km WSW from the Clemens-El Muerto sector. Initial results from the Phase III drilling are expected in January.

Samples were assayed by ALS Chemex in Vancouver. Blank, standard and duplicate pulp samples have also been assayed by ALS Chemex and duplicate core samples have been sent to SGS Lakefield in Toronto, Ontario. The results for these QA/QC samples have been acceptable in the mineralized intervals and additional QA/QC analyses are in progress.

Hugh Willson, Vice President of Exploration for Silverstone and a qualified person under NI 43-101, has reviewed the contents of this news release and supervised the Copala Project for Silverstone since its inception.

The company has granted 100,000 incentive stock options at a price of $2.50 for a period of five years to employees of the company.
