Press Release

Phoenix, AZ – December 19, 2012

(OTCQB:TMBXF) (Berlin:A0MK8E) announced today that the company continues to be listed on the Open Market of the Berlin Stock Exchange.

Through the segmentation of the Open Market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, the company had lost its listing in Frankfurt December 14, 2012.  However, the Börse Berlin accepted the stringent requirements of the U.S. OTCQB market where the company is primary listed, and will resume the quotation without any obligations.

Alan Brown, President of Tombstone, stated, “We are pleased by the listing in Berlin to be traded in Germany and will continue to strive in the future to be listed on additional German Stock Exchanges."

The Tombstone Exploration Project is an exploration and development project within the historic Tombstone Mining District, Cochise County, southeastern Arizona. Detailed studies of the minerals of the Tombstone Mining District have shown a large number and wide assortment of mineralization including silver, gold, copper, lead, and zinc minerals, which have been described along with manganese, tellurium, molybdenum, and vanadium. Although Tombstone is famous for bonanza silver deposits and is essentially a precious-metal district, the porphyry copper model of Lowell and Guilbert (1970) suggests the presence of a buried porphyry copper deposit at depth. Tombstone has the minerals rights to 11,863 acres of historical mining land and is the largest land holder in the Tombstone Mining District.
