May 6, 2013 has been fixed as the record date for determining shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting.

SilverCrest also announces the approval by its Board of Directors of an advance notice policy. This requires advance notice to the Company where nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors are made by shareholders other than pursuant to the requisition of a meeting or a shareholder proposal. The purpose of the policy is to provide shareholders, directors and management of SilverCrest with a clear framework for nominating directors of the Company. This will ensure that all shareholders receive adequate notice of the director nominations and sufficient information regarding all director nominees, facilitate an orderly and efficient shareholders' meeting and allow shareholders to register an informed vote after having been afforded reasonable time for appropriate deliberation.
The advance notice policy fixes a deadline by which holders of record of common shares of the Company must submit director nominations in writing to the Company prior to any annual or special meeting of shareholders at which directors are proposed for election, and sets forth the information that a shareholder must include in the notice to the Company. No person will be eligible for election as a director of SilverCrest unless nominated in accordance with the advance notice policy.
Notice to the Company must be provided not less than 30 days and not more than 65 days prior to the date of an annual general meeting provided, however, in the event the annual general meeting is to be held on a date that is less than 50 days after the date on which the first public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was made, notice may be provided not later than the close of business on the 10th day following such public announcement.
In the case of a special meeting of shareholders which is not also an annual meeting, notice to the Company must be made not later than the close of business on the 15th day following the date on which the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting was made.
For the upcoming annual meeting of shareholders, any notice delivered to the Company prior to the close of business on May 10, 2013 shall be deemed to have been timely delivered.
The advance notice policy is effective immediately and will be placed before shareholders for approval at the annual meeting on June 11, 2013. The full text of the policy is available under the Company's profile at www.sedar.com and on the Company's website. The advance notice policy will remain in effect unless amended or rejected by shareholders at the meeting.
The Board of Directors has also adopted a majority voting policy for the election of directors in uncontested elections. Under this policy, if a nominee does not receive the affirmative vote of at least the majority of votes cast, the Director shall promptly tender a resignation for consideration by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee shall consider the resignation and recommend to the Board the action to be taken with respect to such offered resignation, which may include: accepting the resignation, maintaining the Director but addressing what the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee believes to be the underlying cause of the withheld votes, resolving that the Director will not be re-nominated in the future for election, or rejecting the resignation and explaining the basis for such determination. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee in making its recommendation, and the Board in making its decision, may consider any factors or other information that they consider appropriate and relevant.

Mining Stock News: SilverCrest (TSX.V: SVL) (NYSE MKT: SVLC) Announces Q1 Production 153,481 Ounces Silver & 7,225 Ounces Gold

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - April 24, 2013 (Investorideas.com Mining Stocks Newswire) SilverCrest Mines Inc. (TSX.V:SVL) ( NYSE MKT: SVLC) (CW5.F) ("SilverCrest" or the "Company") is pleased to announce production figures for the first quarter of 2013 from its 100% owned Santa Elena Mine located in Sonora, Mexico.

Production Highlights of Q1, 2013 vs Q4, 2012;
  • Silver production of 153,481 ounces was consistent with 153,863 ounces in Q4.
  • Gold production decreased by 8% to 7,225 ounces.
  • Ore Tonnes crushed decreased 18% to 252,830 tonnes due to focus on removing more waste tonnes.
  • Waste to ore ratio increased to 4.27 from 3.07 due to planned increased waste stripping.
  • Crusher throughput averaged 2,809 tonnes per day compared to 3,355 tonnes per day in Q4, 2012.
  • Stacking conveyors replaced truck haulage of crushed ore with cost savings in Q1.
  • Grades for ore loaded on the pads increased 4% and 9% for silver and gold respectively.
During Q1, 2013 the Company elected to accelerate waste removal (+19%) in advance of the hotter summer months when equipment availability and efficiencies have historically declined. The accelerated waste removal resulted in less ore processed (-18%) and silver equivalent ounces produced (-5%) during the first quarter. This sets the stage for a significant reduction in strip ratios and more ore tonnes processed with higher metal production in the second half of 2013. The Company maintains its corporate market guidance of 625,000 ounces of silver and 33,000 ounces of gold for 2013.
J. Scott Drever, President stated: "Our decision to accelerate waste removal is consistent with our overall mine plan for 2013 operations. We are comfortable that as the ultimate strip ratio declines and the ore grades in the pit continue to increase we will meet our production and cost projections for the year. We expect the positive results of improvements in these two metrics to become apparent in the second half of 2013."
Investorideas.com Newswire Q1 2013 Santa Elena Expansion Plan Update:
  • As of March 31, 2013, approximately 40% of the budgeted 2013 capital cost of US$65M has been spent or committed.
  • The Plan is currently on budget with scheduled mill start up in January 2014.
  • On-site construction of the 3,000 tonne per day mill is well underway with earthworks complete, concrete for foundations being poured and CCD tank and thickener construction commenced.
  • All major equipment has been ordered with committed delivery dates and the majority of the construction contracts are in place with contractors working on site.
  • Drilling to better define and expand resources and reserves is completed with revised numbers expected in May 2013.
First Quarter Financial Results Release:
The Company plans to issue its first quarter financial results on Wednesday, May 15, 2013.

Mining Stock News: SilverCrest (TSX.V: SVL) (NYSE MKT: SVLC) Continues to Expand Santa Elena Deposit More High Grade Intercepts

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - April 8, 2013 (Investorideas.com Mining Stocks Newswire) SilverCrest Mines Inc. (TSX.V:SVL) ( NYSE MKT: SVLC) (CW5.F) ("SilverCrest" or the "Company") is pleased to announce results of further delineation drilling at the Santa Elena Mine in Sonora, Mexico. Since mid 2012, 132 drill holes have been completed to further expand underground resources and reserves (see attached Figure - http://media3.marketwire.com/ docs/ svl408-LS.pdf). This drill program continues to be extremely successful with the most recent holes identifying additional bonanza grades (as defined below) and providing further intercepts in the El Cholugo Zone. To date, resources at Santa Elena have been delineated along a strike length of over 1,200 metres and to a depth of 600 metres. The results of all holes included in this news release will be part of the ongoing resource expansion and reclassification to be included in the Pre-Feasibility Study for the Santa Elena Expansion Project which is nearing completion.
J. Scott Drever, President stated; "This delineation drill program has been immensely successful. We have drilled the known portion of the deposit at 35 to 40 metre centres, the Main Mineralized Zone has been extended by approximately 300 metres beyond our current resource boundary and we have identified two new sub-parallel zones, El Cholugo and El Cholugo Dos. The results of the revised underground resource and reserve estimations is expected to demonstrate an extended mine life with a conventional mill facility well beyond the original 5.5 years estimated for the open pit heap leach operation."
In this reported series, core hole SE-13-126 intercepted further Bonanza grades (greater than 34 gpt Au or greater than 1,000 gpt Ag) with 0.60 metres grading 5.2 gpt Au and 1,840 gpt Ag. These high grades are included in a broader interval of 21.6 metres grading 1.46 gpt Au and 169.1 gpt Ag (see tables below).
Assay values in this series of holes range from 0.1 gpt to 22.0 gpt gold and 34.8 gpt to 1,840.0 gpt silver. Mineralized intervals range from 0.6 metres to 22.7 metres. All mineralized drill intercepts are near true thicknesses. The most significant assay results in this series of holes are shown in the following tables.

Investorideas.com Newswire
Note: All numbers are weighted averages, uncut and rounded.
All sample analyses were completed by ALS Chemex in Hermosillo, Mexico and North Vancouver, BC.
The El Cholugo Zone continues to expand to the west and to depth with 6 new drill hole intercepts (above table). The dimensions of this newly discovered zone is now approximately 400 metres long by 150 metres high with widths ranging from 1.7 to 17.1 metres.

Several Holes reported above (Holes SE-13-121, 123, 128, and 141) extend the strong silver and gold mineralization along the Main Mineralized Zone to the east and to depth. These intercepts are up to 300 metres beyond the boundary of current resource estimates. Core holes SE-13-132, 135, 137, 139, 140 reported above further expand mineralization 300 metres to the west under the current operating pit. Further drilling is underway to help delineate theses area of continued expansion.
Approximately 48,000 metres of drilling have been completed to date in the 2012-2103 program to convert underground resources to reserves and expand total resources. Three drills are currently on site completing the extended program. Summary results for revised Santa Elena Resources and Reserves are expected in late April or early May, 2013 with a NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Pre-Feasibility Study of the Expansion Plan to be filed within 45 days following announcement.

(SLTA) (www.solteramining.com), reports that the 2012 field programs of bedrock sampling and geophysics on its El Torno property in Argentina produced the following results.

Previous Soltera geochemical surveys over the whole property indicated that gold mineralization occurred throughout the length of the vein system and in networks of small quartz veins away from the main system. Surface sampling in late 2011 then identified five gold 'hot spots' with gold values commonly more than 1 g/t gold, including one channel sample as high as 376 g/t gold over 1.5 meters.
The 2012 sampling program involved taking channel samples of bedrock from the walls of more than 400 surface trenches, and in an existing gallery 20 meters below the surface. The 11,000 samples were each between one meter and one and a half meters long and were analysed at a laboratory of international standing. The sampling was concentrated within a 12 square kilometer area over the central part of the vein system.
A ground geophysical EM-IP survey was also conducted over part of the sampled area and consisted of thirty 2 kilometer-long lines extending east-west and four 4 kilometer-long lines over the main mineralised zones.
The results from these 2012 field programs showed:
  • More than 7,000 trench samples contained detectable gold, which confirms that a zone of pervasive mineralization occurs throughout the whole central area.
  • Within this broad zone, there are significant gold concentrations. A total of 541 samples contained more than 0.4g/t gold and, of those, 285 contained more than 1 g/t. Analyses with more than 5 g/t gold from the 2012 sampling program are shown below; all are 1 meter-long chip-channel samples, this data has not previously been published:

  • All the gold occurs within veins of heavily fractured quartz often associated with iron oxides. These veins can be up to 2 meters thick or be in the form of fine networks within the bedrock. They all appear to be later than the main vein quartz system and represent a late stage pulse of mineralized solutions that penetrated along fracture zones.
  • An area of 2 square kilometers over the central part of the main quartz vein system has been defined for priority test work and includes four of the five gold 'hot-spots' identified in the earlier sampling programs. An additional highly prospective area occurs one kilometer to the west of the main veins.
  • The geophysical EM-IP survey showed several strong near-surface anomalies that could well indicate conditions suitable for mineralization and are ideally suited for drilling.
We now have considerable data about gold on the surface, but very little about it at depth. Old workings and the 1990's drill holes show that gold occurs to at least 100 meters below surface, but drilling is absolutely essential to ascertain its quantity and distribution. A drill program is being planned.
