(OTCBB:ECPN - News) reports: Chuck Mottley, company president and CEO, has agreed to institute a Stock Purchase Plan under the provisions of SEC Rule 10b5-1. The Stock Purchase Plan contemplates the purchase of up to $1 million in value of ECPN common stock commencing Tuesday, August 8, 2006.

Once the plan is in place, insiders do not retain discretion over transactions to be consummated under the plan, although the insider may later amend or terminate the plan. Purchases made under this Rule 10b5-1 plan will be disclosed publicly through Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
El Capitan Precious Metals Inc. is an exploration stage company that owns a 40% interest in the El Capitan property located near Capitan, N.M., as well as a joint venture and 20% ownership of 13 mining claims and other assets known as the C.O.D. mine located near Kingman, Ariz.
