PHOENIX, AZ–(EMWNews – July 17, 2008) – Tombstone Exploration Corporation (OTCBB: TMBXF) today will host a ‘Meet and Greet’ for the New York financial

community at the Marriott Marquis, Time Square, 1535 Broadway in the

Ziegfeld Room from 5:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. Alan Brown, Tombstone’s

President and CEO, will make a PowerPoint presentation and follow with Q &

A.

With recent crude oil price increases and the falling dollar in relation to

other currencies, silver and other precious metals have become a favored

way to diversify and hedge a portfolio. Tombstone is an undervalued

opportunity to participate in precious metals.

Microcap fund managers, stockbrokers, market makers and other interested

investors are invited to attend the function.

Regarding the New York meeting, Mr. Brown said, “This is the first in a

series of investment community meetings we will be making in major

financial cities throughout the United States. Our objective is to keep

potential investors updated on our progress and major developments at

Tombstone including assay results for the current Drill Program that is

being conducted this summer.”

Tombstone Exploration Corporation (TMBXF) is structured and positioned to

capitalize on today’s increasing demand and prices for precious metals and

base metals such as copper, lead and zinc. Tombstone Exploration

Corporation has the mineral rights to approximately 13,500 acres of

historical mining land in the areas around Tombstone, Arizona. The Company

is the largest landholder in the Tombstone mining district. Through
