Mining Stocks News: SilverCrest (TSX: SVL) (NYSE MKT: SVLC)
Options Cumobabi Property
Vancouver, BC - November 18, 2014 (Investorideas.com Mining
Stocks Newswire) SilverCrest Mines Inc. (TSX:SVL) (NYSE
MKT: SVLC) is pleased to announce it has signed a five year option
agreement (the “Agreement”) with Evrim Resources Corp. (TSX.V: EVM) (“Evrim”)
whereby SilverCrest can acquire a 100% interest in Evrim’s Cumobabi Property in
the State of Sonora, Mexico. The Cumobabi Property is in the general vicinity
of the Santa Elena mine and adjacent to the Ermitaño Property which was
previously optioned by the Company (see news release dated January 14, 2014).
SilverCrest
can earn a 100% interest in Cumobabi by paying US$75,000 upon signing the
Agreement and US$50,000 each anniversary thereafter, completing a minimum of
US$500,000 in exploration expenditures by the second anniversary, and
delivering a Production Notice within five years, specifying mine and
construction plans with accompanying permits. Upon vesting, SilverCrest will no
longer be required to make the annual payments and Evrim will retain a 1.5% Net
Smelter Returns Royalty on the Cumobabi Property.
SilverCrest’s acquisition of the Cumobabi
Property significantly consolidates SilverCrest’s land position in the vicinity
of the Santa Elena Mine. The concessions host the same early Tertiary andesite
and rhyolite volcanic rocks with major structures that host the Santa Elena
silver and gold low sulphidation epithermal mineralization. When combined with
the recently acquired option on the Ermitaño Property, SilverCrest now controls
over 300 square kilometres of mineral rights, prospective for gold and silver
resources, adjacent to or in the near vicinity of the Santa Elena mine. The
lands are considered to be highly prospective and are expected to play a
strategic role in the organic growth of SilverCrest's resources.
Initial exploration work is planned on the
Cumobabi Property by the Company in 2015.

P.Eng, President and Chief Operating Officer for SilverCrest Mines Inc., who

SilverCrest Mines Inc. (NYSE MKT: SVLC; TSX: SVL) is a Canadian
precious metals producer headquartered in Vancouver, BC. SilverCrest’s flagship
property is the 100%-owned Santa Elena Mine, located 150 km northeast of
Hermosillo, near Banamichi in the State of Sonora, México. The mine is a
high-grade, epithermal silver and gold producer, with an estimated life of mine
of 8 years at an average operating cash costs of $11 per ounce of silver
equivalent (55:1 Ag:Au). SilverCrest anticipates that the new 3,000 tonnes per
day conventional mill facility at the Santa Elena Mine should recover an
average of 1.5 million ounces of silver and 32,800 ounces of gold per annum
over the current reserve life. Major expansion, including commissioning of the
3,000 tonnes per day conventional mill facility and underground mine, is
complete and is expected to result in increased metals production at the Santa
Elena Mine during the second half of 2014 and beyond. Exploration programs
continue to result in new discoveries at Santa Elena and also have rapidly
advanced the definition of a large polymetallic deposit at the La Joya property
in Durango State, Mexico.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This news release contains “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation and the United
States Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking
statements concern the Company’s anticipated results and developments in the
Company’s operations in future periods, planned exploration and development of
its properties, plans related to its business and other matters that may occur
in the future and include, without limitation, statements with respect to: the
economic viability of a project; strategic plans and expectations for the
development of the Company’s operations and Cumobabi and Ermitaño properties;
the amount of mineral reserves and mineral resources; the amount of future
production of gold and silver over any period; the amount of expected grades
and ounces of metals and minerals; expected processing recoveries; cash operating
costs and outflows; and life of mine.
These forward-looking statements relate to
analyses and other information that are based on, without limitation, the
following estimates and assumptions: the presence of and continuity of metals
at the Company’s projects; cost of production and productivity levels; plant
and equipment function as anticipated; the availability of skilled labour;
contracted parties provide goods and services on agreed time frame; ability to
develop and finance projects; accuracy of the interpretations and assumptions
used in calculating reserve and resource estimates; and operations not being
disrupted or delayed by unusual geological or technical problems.
Forward-looking statements are subject to a
variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which could
cause actual events or results to differ from those expressed or implied by the
forward-looking statements, including, without limitation: risks related to
precious and base metal price fluctuations; risks related to fluctuations in
the currency markets (particularly the Mexican peso, Canadian dollar and United
States dollar); risks related to the inherently dangerous activity of mining,
including conditions or events beyond our control, and operating or technical
difficulties in mineral exploration, development and mining activities;
uncertainty in the Company's ability to raise financing and fund the
exploration and development of its mineral properties; uncertainty as to actual
capital costs, operating costs, production and economic returns, and
uncertainty that development activities will result in profitable mining
operations; risks related to reserves and mineral resource figures being
estimates based on interpretations and assumptions which may result in less
mineral production under actual conditions than is currently estimated and to
diminishing quantities or grades of mineral reserves as properties are mined;
risks related to governmental regulations and obtaining necessary licenses and
permits; risks related to the business being subject to environmental laws and
regulations which may increase costs of doing business and restrict our
operations; risks related to mineral properties being subject to prior
unregistered agreements, transfers, or claims and other defects in title; risks

related to potential litigation; risks related to the global economy; risks
related to environmental laws; risks related to the Company's status as a foreign

economic, social and regulatory instability; and risks related to officers and
directors becoming associated with other natural resource companies, which may
give rise to conflicts of interests.
Should one or more of these risks and
uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect,
actual results may vary materially from those described in the forward-looking
