SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic, Nov 2, 2012 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- Santo Mining Corp. (OTCBB:SANP), (the "Company"), has instructed its counsel to prepare an application to FINRA regarding a 2-1 forward split of the Company's common shares. It is expected that the split will be undertaken as soon as practicable and will be administered on a 'payable upon surrender' basis; requiring shareholders to deliver their certificates to the Company's transfer agent in order to receive their new post-split shares.

The forward split is subject to the approval of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and the decision to approve the 2-1 forward split was done to make the price of the stock more accessible to a larger percentage of the investment community.
