Silver Stocks News Alert: SilverCrest (TSX.V:SVL) Reports 58m @ 164.7 gpt Ag Eq at La Joya

VANCOUVER, BC - March 21, 2012 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks newswire) Silver Investor News Alert: SilverCrest Mines Inc. (TSX-V: SVL OTCQX: STVZF) announce the results of the first six holes of 18 Phase II core holes (approx. 8,000 metres) completed to date at its La Joya Property in Durango, Mexico. Phase II contemplates a total of 80 holes (approx. 15,000 metres) and drilling to date has extended the Main Mineralized Trend (“Trend”) an additional 500 meters to the northwest from the current resource area (see attached figures). http://media3.marketwire.com/ docs/svl320_F1-2.pdf
The width of the Trend averages approximately 500 metres; narrowing to the northwest (approx. 300 metres) and widening to the southeast (approx. 800 metres) and has been traced along strike with drilling and surface sampling for approximately 2,500 metres. Please reference our website at www.silvercrestmines.com for more information, photos and figures on La Joya.

J. Scott Drever, President stated: "In January we announced an initial Inferred Resource on a portion of the Trend of 57.9 million tonnes grading 28 gpt Ag, 0.18 gpt au and 0.21% Cu and containing 101.9 million ounces Ag Equivalent*. A portion of the Phase II drilling is intended to explore the possible expansion of this resource estimate to the northwest as well as the southeast along the Trend and infill some of the wider spaced drill holes within the resource area. The remainder of the program will test three targets adjacent to the Trend which have been shown by historical drilling and sampling to host significant Ag, Cu, Au, W, and Mo mineralization".
The first 6 holes in Phase II and re-sampling (full) of one historic hole LB96-04R, have partially tested the northwestern extension of the Trend. Silver values range from 6.5 gpt to 153.5 gpt and on a silver equivalent* basis values range from 16.9 gpt to 354.0 gpt. True thicknesses and actual depth of mineralization from surface can be approximated from the attached cross section. Holes LJ DD11-28, 31 and 32 are considered outside the current defined Trend and not presented on Section A � A'. The most significant assay results are shown in the following table and have a weighted average grade of 75.9 gpt Ag Eq* and an average thickness of 22.7 metres.
Investorideas.com Newswire Investorideas.com Newswire
* Silver equivalency includes silver, gold and copper and excludes lead, zinc, molybdenum and tungsten values. Ag:Au is 50:1, Ag:Cu is 86:1, based on 5 year historic metal price trends of US$24/oz silver, US$1200/oz gold, US$3/lb copper. 100% metallurgical recovery is assumed.
All sample analyses were completed by Inspectorate Exploration & Mining Services Ltd. in Durango, Mexico and Richmond, BC or ALS Chemex in Zacatecas and North Vancouver.
The underlying intrusive is exposed at the surface on the southern end of the Trend and from the recent drilling, appears to be increasing in depth at the northern end of the Trend. The best reported intercept in this series is from a verified historical drill hole (LB96-04R) and is thought to represent an extension of mineralized mantos that are drill-defined to the southeast. The Company has been given access to over 8,000 metres of historic core for validation including hole LB96-04. A portion of LB96-04 was previously independently validated and is presented in the "Resource Estimate for the La Joya Property, Durango, Mexico, NI 43-101 Technical Report" date February 20, 2012.
Core samples for holes L J DD12-33 to 42 are currently in the laboratory and assays will be reported upon receipt and compilation. Also, further assay results from splitting and sampling of historic core are being received and compiled. Several holes contain anomalous molybdenum (Mo) and tungsten (W) values over significant widths in skarn.
The Phase II 80 hole drill program is expected to test approximately 2.5 kilometres of the Trend that includes at least the 8 near-vertical structures/stockwork zones, 14 near-horizontally stacked mantos and a Contact Zone with the underlying intrusive. Based on the encouraging results to date, additional drills are being mobilized to accelerate this Phase II exploration program. Drilling on the southern extension of the Trend has started. Based on Company surface mapping, sampling and historic drill hole results, this area is thought to be potentially the highest grade area along the Trend.
The La Joya Deposit currently has an estimated resource of:

Gold Stocks; Gold Bullion (TSX-V: GBB) Announces new Drill Program at Granada

VANCOUVER - March 1, 2012 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks Newswire) - Gold Bullion Development Corp. (TSXV: GBB, OTC PINK: GBBFF) (the "Company" or "Gold Bullion") is pleased to announce a new drill program on the Company's Flagship Granada property located along the Cadillac trend in North-western Quebec , 5 km south of the city of Rouyn-Noranda.
The new drill program is intended to test structures and gold grades at depth on the north extension 2012 project.
The program comprises the drilling of 2 deep holes on the northern edge of the property and within these holes, a minimum of one wedge will be added in order to have 2 pierce points per hole, generating a total of 4 pierce points (2 cross sections with 2 intersections). The two deep holes will be followed up with a 3rd hole located between the two sections and the existing known drilled area, in order to confirm the extent of the panel. In addition, a wedge in the 3rd hole is also being considered.
Two drills from Landdrill International Ltd. are currently on the site with drilling to begin in short order. Based on current information, the mineralization trend is relatively East-West dipping North 50 to 70. The zones are cut by NNE faults therefore the program will put the holes due south, in order to avoid following one of these faults even with a possible deviation to the right. Holes should start in HQ down to a depth of 400 metres followed by NQ. In the event problems are encountered within NQ, the smaller diameter BQ will follow at depth.
The program details are as follows:
Hole 12-01 1660m at -78 due south
Hole 12-01a(w) wedge at 530m for 1050m due south aiming up at -70 or better
Hole 12-02 1450m at -75 due south
Hole 12-02a(w) wedge at 540m for 900m due south aiming up at -68 or better
Hole 12-03 1000m at -75 due south
Hole 12-03a(w) wedge at 500m for 500m due south aiming up at -70 or better
The total drill programme is estimated to be 6,560 meters.
A drill hole location map, (Google Earth map), as well as the cross sections with planned holes and wedges can be reviewed on the Gold Bullion web site at www.goldbulliondevelopmentcorp.com/ en/projects/hole-drilling.aspx

Gold Stocks; Gold Bullion (TSX-V: GBB) announces preliminary metallurgical testing showing average gold recovery of 94.1 % with an average gold grade of 0.94 g/t at the Granada Gold Property

VANCOUVER - February 29, 2012 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks Newswire) - Gold Bullion Development Corp. (TSXV: GBB, OTC PINK: GBBFF) is pleased to announce the release of 29 composite sample results from the SGS Lakefield Gold Metallurgical Testing Group. These results are to be used in the Total gold determination program that SGS Geostat is working on for the Granada Gold Property located on the prolific Cadillac trend, south of Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, Canada.
The purpose of the test was to determine the head grades and recoveries of the various composites in order to compare them with the individual assay results. Mr. Claude Duplessis , Eng., the SGS Geostat Q.P., selected 29 different composite samples from 29 different mineralized zones at various depths with variable grades. The test work consisted of a total gold metallurgical balance that resulted in overall gold recovery data.
Overall recovery rates averaged 94.1% ranging from 87.1% to 98.5%. These numbers demonstrate that even at low grades, superior recovery of gold can be achieved within the mineralized zones by using gravity followed by cyanidation on the Granada property. The recovery rates using only gravity ranged from 25.1% to 78.0% with an average rate of 50.6% indicating a significant amount of free gold is present.
Test details summary:
  • The composites were prepared by blending from 7 to 11 individual witness core samples to represent a continuous mineralized zone from 9.1 to 16.5m long. The total composite weight ranged from 17 kg to 41 kg
  • The composites were then crushed to minus 10 mesh. The crushed sample was riffled into 10 kg test charges with each composite treated in its entirety
  • Each composite sample was ground in 10 kg batches in a laboratory rod mill to approximately 80% passing 75 �m (1�10-6 of a metre.) The grind sizes for processing ranged from 52 - 102 �m, averaging 77 �m
  • The mill discharge was passed through a Knelson concentrator and the concentrate was then cleaned on a Mozley mineral separator. All of the resulting concentrate from the Mozley separator was then fire assayed for gold
  • The Mozley and Knelson tailings were then combined and submitted for cyanide leaching
  • The pregnant leach solution was collected and submitted for gold (Au) assay. The leached pulp was also sampled for gold content by fire assay. An overall (gravity + cyanidation) gold metallurgical balance was then performed to calculate the head grade of each composite
Tests were conducted under the supervision of Lesley Hendry , project metallurgist at the Lakefield facilities of SGS Canada.
The comparison between the length weighted average gold grade from the original uncapped assay results versus SGS Total gold on an individual basis shows some variance as expected. This variance is directly related to the nature of the gold mineralization at Granada. The weighted average of the original composite data is 1.16 g/t while the average of the total gold test is 0.94 g/t. When the capping of an individual Fire Assay result of 36.94 g/t in composite #14 to 10 g/t is applied, the original average grade is 1.05g/t.

SilverCrest anticipates that the 2,500 tonnes per day facility should recover approximately 4,805,000 ounces of silver and 179,000 ounces of gold over the 6.5 year life of the open pit phase of the Santa Elena Mine. A three year expansion plan is underway to double metals production at the Santa Elena Mine and exploration programs are rapidly advancing the definition of a large polymetallic deposit at the La Joya property in Durango State.

Mining Stocks; YALE (TSX-V: YLL) Expands Gold Mineralized Zones at San Pedro, Urique

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - February 23, 2012 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks Newswire) - Yale Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: YLL, OTCBB: YRLLF, and Frankfurt: YAB) is pleased to report that a comprehensive work program is now underway at the Urique Project, located in Chihuahua State, Mexico, immediately north of Goldcorp's El Sauzal gold mine and immediately south of Kimber Resources' Monterde Property. Work at Urique is being performed on behalf of optionee Mammoth Resources Ltd. (MTH � TSX.V).
The initial results from sampling at the San Pedro Target has identified multiple new zones of gold mineralization and confirmed the strong potential of previously known zones. Gold and silver mineralization at San Pedro is interpreted to be low to intermediate sulfidation and occurs as widely spaced quartz vein/stockwork zones and shear zones associated with felsic dykes hosted in strongly altered volcanic rocks.
Important gold values (greater than 0.3 g/t Au) now have been identified throughout an area measuring approximately 1,400 metres by 1,000 metres. In this initial phase, 121 rock chip samples were taken from quartz veins/stockwork zones and their immediate wall rock near or at the entrance of small mine workings. Highlights from this first widespread sampling are listed below:
Investorideas.com Newswire To date only a combined 50.6 linear meters of trenches have been sampled. A number of trenches are open and need to be extended to fully define the following results (see table above for detail):
  • Trench 2 - first sample returned 1.55 g/t gold
  • Trench 4 - first sample returned 3.77 g/t gold
  • Trench 6 - first sample returned 18.78 g/t gold and the last sample returned 1.63 g/t gold
  • Trench 7 - first sample returned 0.53 g/t gold and the last sample returned 4.07 g/t gold
Ongoing work at Urique:
The Company currently has four geologists dedicated to the project based out of two camps that are used as the bases of operations to cover the northern portion of the property � Urique North and the southern portion of the property � Urique South.
Work in Urique North will be concentration on the San Pedro target before moving on to the Cuiteco Target and other anomalies whereas the field program in Urique South Ongoing work will continue to develop a geological database and understanding of the Urique Target Area, which contains greater than 20 historic producing mines, as well as investigate numerous other targets and prospects located in the southern portion of the property that borders Goldcorp's El Sauzal property. The goal of this work is to advance the primary target areas to the drill-ready stage as rapidly as possible.

Gold and Mining Stocks; Gold Bullion (TSX-V: GBB) Enters Into Option Agreement to Acquire Beaver and Violet Silver Properties, Postpones Castle Silver Mines IPO

VANCOUVER - February 15, 2012 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks Newswire) - Gold Bullion Development Corp. (TSXV: GBB, OTC PINK: GBBFF) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement with Ansil Resources Ltd. that gives Gold Bullion the option to acquire 100% ownership of both the Beaver and Violet silver properties located in the township of Coleman, Ontario.
To acquire ownership of both properties, Gold Bullion paid $10,000 to Ansil Resources and over the next seven years must incur an aggregate of $100,000 in expenditures on the properties. Gold Bullion is also required to make annual payments to Ansil Resources for a period of five years in an aggregate amount of $60,000 for pre-payment of a 3% net smelter return royalty held by Ansil Resources. Gold Bullion retains the right to purchase the 3% NSR royalty by paying $1.5 million to Ansil Resources for each percentage point of the NSR royalty.
The Beaver property consists of a single 20-acre claim; the N part, NW1/4, N1/2 Lot 1, Concession III is located in Coleman Township near the town of Cobalt, roughly 80 kilometres southeast of Gold Bullion's Castle Silver Mine near Gowganda, Ontario.
Beaver Consolidated Mines Ltd. produced 221.7 tonnes silver (7,127,858 ounces) from the Beaver Property between 1907 and 1940. The silver was mined from near-vertical Ag-Co-Ni veins near the upper contact of a shallow Nipissing diabase intrusive. This intrusive crosscuts Archean age sedimentary and volcanic rocks.
Production from the mines adjoining the Beaver Mine directly to the South and West were: Temiskaming Mine, 376.9 tonnes silver (12,118,796 ounces), Brady Lake Mine, 96.4 tonnes silver (3,100,000 ounces), Cobalt Load, 139.8 tonnes silver (4,493,725 ounces) and the Christopher Mine, 127.5 tonnes silver (4,100,000 ounces), also in close proximity to the upper contact area of the same Nipissing diabase intrusive.
Between 1977 and 1989 Agnico Eagle Mines produced 124 tonnes silver (3,986,761 ounces) broken down as follows: 122.96 tonnes silver (3,953,319 ounces) from the Cobalt Lode and Duchess claims south of the Beaver property, 0.929 tonnes silver (29,878 ounces) from the Beaver property and 0.111 tonnes silver (3,564 ounces) from the Brady Lake claims. All production was from the lower contact area of the Nipissing diabase. The properties were accessed from the 1,600 foot (487.68 metre) level of the Beaver Shaft and later from a cross cut driven from the Temiskaming Shaft.
Gold Bullion believes that diamond drilling of the lower contact area of the Beaver property is warranted to test a near flat fault known to exist in the Beaver property. A similar flat fault in the Duchess and Cobalt load appears to have been a controlling feature in the ore mined by Agnico Eagle.
Gold Bullion also announces that it has decided to postpone, for market reasons, the previously-announced initial public offering by Castle Silver Mines Inc., and a secondary offering to the shareholders of Gold Bullion of shares of Castle Silver Mines by way of dividend in kind, as set out in Castle Silver Mines' final prospectus dated November 10, 2011.

Mining Stocks; YALE (TSX-V: YLL) DRILLS 10.5 m AVERAGING 1.04 % COPPER AT DOS NACIONES

VANCOUVER - February 7, 2012 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks Newswire) - Yale Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: YLL, OTCBB: YRLLF, and Frankfurt: YAB) is pleased to report that it has received results for the three holes, drilled on behalf of its optionee Del Toro Silver Corp. (DTOR � OTCBB), at the Dos Naciones property, located in Sonora State, Mexico.
Drilling at Dos Naciones was successful in confirming the presence of multiple outcropping skarn targets. Drilling in the strongly altered and fractured ground proved very difficult and each of the three holes was terminated before reaching the target depth due to technical reasons.
The table below summarizes the results received:
Investorideas.com Newswire Drill holes D2N-01 and D2N-02 were drilled into and beside, respectively, the La Espanola skarn target, a prominent ridge that is host to numerous historic workings. In addition to the average of 1.04 % copper and 33.3 g/t silver, drill hole D2N-01 intersected an average of 20.7 % iron (using a top cut of 25%) over 10.5 metres from surface. A second zone of mineralization grading 1.5 g/t gold and 88.3 g/t silver over 0.75 m was intersected at a depth of 29.70 m, indicating the potential for additional targets at depth. Drill hole D2N-02 was collared in strongly altered andesitic volcanics with 1 to 3 percent disseminated sulphides but was lost at 12 m before intersecting the target at depth.
Drill hole D2N-03 was drilled into the Dos Naciones Este target, located approximately 2.5 km southwest of drill holes D2N-01 and 02. Hole D2N-03 was collared in an outcrop of skarn and intersected 10.0 m of skarn mineralization averaging 0.76 % copper and 9.3 g/t silver from a depth of 4.5 metres below a zone of very poor recovery.
The size of these targets has yet to be fully tested and as a result Yale is recommending additional drilling at Dos Naciones. Del Toro must spend a total of $800,000 at Dos Naciones prior to July 7, 2013 to earn a 70% interest in the property.
About Yale Resources:
Yale Resources utilizes the project generator business model to maximize its exposure to discovery while minimizing shareholder risk. Yale currently has nine projects in its portfolio of which five are optioned out with commitments totalling approximately $1.3 M in expenditures during the next 12 months.

Junior Gold Stocks Alert; SRC (OTCBB: SELR.OB) Announces New Acquisition: Executes LOI to Acquire Billali Gold and Silver Mine

CAMERON PARK, Calif. - January 31, 2012 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks newswire) Steele Resources Corporation (the "Company," "SRC") (OTCBB: SELR.OB) announced today that it has executed a Letter of Intent to purchase the privately owned Billali Gold and Silver Mine, a near term production gold and silver mine located in the Steeple Rock district in New Mexico. The district has several historic mines in the area, and from 1880 to 1991 an estimated 151,000 ounces of gold, 1,200,000 pounds of copper, 5,000,000 pounds of lead, and 4,000,000 pounds of zinc was mined from the district.
The Billali Gold and Silver Mine has 28 completed diamond core drill holes and a complete NI 43-101 Technical Report. The technical report, authored by Dr. Jan Rasmussen, a 40 year industry veteran states, "based on the historical drilling� the Billali mine could produce over 219,000 tons of ore averaging 12.8 ounces of silver per ton and 0.244 ounces of gold per ton."
CEO Scott Dockter stated, "SRC is an aggressive, growth oriented company and this gold and silver mine fits SRC's acquisition model perfectly. It is too small for major precious metals companies to consider it, yet offers significant potential gold and silver deposits, and is to a stage where it can be put into production this calendar year depending on financing availability."
The Billali Gold and Silver Mine is adjacent to the Summit Mine (owned by Santa Fe Gold Corp) which reports its "diluted Probable Reserve" is "618,070 tons grading 0.143 ounces of gold per ton and 10.78 ounces of silver per ton." According to the Technical Report, "Three quartz veins carrying silver and gold mineralization run the length of the Billali patented lode mining claim. The same quartz vein that is currently being mined for silver and gold at the adjacent Summit Mine continues into the Billali patented claim. These mineralized quartz structures are the target of the Billali mine plan."
Additional information, including the NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Billali Gold and Silver Mine, can be found at www.steeleresources.com.
About Steele Resources
Steele Resources Corporation is a precious metals exploration and development company that is working to become an active gold producer through the development of the 1800 acre Mineral Hill Gold Project and recently announced its intent to acquire the Billali Gold and Silver Mine in New Mexico.

Investorideas.com Newswire SilverCrest Mines Inc. (TSX-V: SVL) is a Mexican precious metals producer with headquarters based in Vancouver, BC. SilverCrest's flagship property is the 100%-owned Santa Elena Mine, which is located 150km northeast of Hermosillo, near Banamichi in the State of Sonora, México. The mine is a high-grade, epithermal gold and silver producer, with an estimated life of mine cash cost of US$8 per ounce of silver equivalent (55:1 Ag: Au). SilverCrest anticipates that the 2,500 tonnes per day facility should recover approximately 4,805,000 ounces of silver and 179,000 ounces of gold over the 6.5 year life of the open pit phase of the Santa Elena Mine. A three year expansion plan is underway to double metals production at the Santa Elena Mine and exploration programs are rapidly advancing the definition of a large polymetallic deposit at the La Joya property in Durango State.

TSX Silver Stock Update; SilverCrest (TSX-V: SVL) Reports Silver Equivalent Inferred Resources Increase of 424%

VANCOUVER, B.C. � January 25, 2012 - Silver stock update from SilverCrest Mines Inc. (TSX-V:SVL, OTCQX:STVZF) (Investorideas.com Mining stocks newswire) SilverCrest Mines Inc. ( TSX-V:SVL, OTCQX: STVZF) provides an updated summary of its corporate mineral resources. The Company now has reported NI 43-101 compliant resources at the Santa Elena Mine, Cruz de Mayo property and La Joya property in Mexico (see table below).
The addition of the initial La Joya Inferred Resources of 101.9 million ounces silver equivalent resulted in corporate Inferred Resources increasing by 424% from 24.0 million to 126.0 million silver equivalent ounces. The Company's combined Probable and Indicated Resources (based on US$18 per ounce silver, US$1000 per ounce gold, and Ag:Au at 55:1) declined by 14.7% from 36.2 million to 30.9 million silver equivalent ounces as a result of production at the Santa Elena Mine in 2010 and 2011.
N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng. and COO for SilverCrest stated; "This significant increase in the Company's resource base is another important milestone in its goal of becoming a major silver and gold asset - based company. SilverCrest's immediate initiatives are to continue to diligently operate its flagship Santa Elena silver and gold mine, aggressively explore the discovery at La Joya and to further acquire and develop substantial silver-gold resources."
SilverCrest Resource Summary - January 2012
Investorideas.com Newswire
*based on $1,000/oz of gold and $18/oz of silver, cut-off grade of 0.38 gpt gold equivalent with applied metallurgical recoveries. Ag:Au is 55:1.
Estimated 1,336,000 ore tonnes were mined at Santa Elena in 2010 and 2011 grading 1.41 gpt Au and 46.51 gpt Ag and subtracted from Probable Reserves.
All numbers are rounded. Excludes potential metal inventory for leach pad re- treatment during Expansion.
**based on $1,000/oz of gold and $18/oz of silver, cut-off grade is 1.77 gpt gold equivalent with applied metallurgical recoveries. Ag:Au is 55:1.
***based on a silver cut-off grade of 30 gpt, 100% metallurgical recovery is assumed. Ag:Au is 55:1. Refer 2007 to Fier and Wallis Technical Report on Cruz de Mayo.
**** Based on 5 year historic metal price trends of US$24/oz silver, US$1200/oz gold, US$3/lb copper. 100% metallurgical recovery is assumed. Silver equivalency for La Joya includes silver, gold and copper and excludes lead, zinc, molybdenum and tungsten values. Ag:Au is 50:1, Ag:Cu is 86:1.
The Company plans an additional 6 core holes on the Santa Elena underground deposit beginning in Q1 2012. This drilling will further assist in delineating the existing underground resources and potentially expand the resources. The decline ramp to explore and develop the resources below the current open pit has been commenced and advancement is expected to continue throughout 2012.
Drilling is currently underway at Cruz de Mayo where 30 holes have been completed with approximately 15 to 20 holes remaining. A Pre-Feasibility Study with further metallurgical work is underway to determine the amenability of processing Cruz de Mayo material at the conventional mill proposed for the Santa Elena mine site.
La Joya Resource Summary (Phase I)
On January 5, 2012, the Company announced the initial resource estimate for its La Joya property located in Durango Mexico. The Inferred Resource of 101.9 million ounces silver equivalent was based on 27 initial Company drill holes plus 8 verified Luismin historical drill holes. The initial resource covers only a portion of the 2.5 kilometre Main Mineralized Trend and is open latterly in all directions. The resource estimations for the 15 and 30 gpt Ag Eq.* cutoff scenarios are illustrated on the attached surface plan and cross sections and presented in the following table.
Investorideas.com Newswire
*Silver equivalency for La Joya includes silver, gold and copper and excludes lead, zinc, molybdenum and tungsten values. Ag:Au is 50:1, Ag:Cu is 86:1, based on 5 year historic metal price trends of US$24/oz silver, US$1200/oz gold, US$3/lb copper. 100% metallurgical recovery is assumed.
** Conforms to NI 43-101, 43-101CP, and current CIM definitions for resources. Resource estimation summary presented by EBA, a Tetra Tech Company on January 5, 2012 with a pending NI43-101 Technical Report. All numbers are rounded.
The attached figures show a 3D schematic of La Joya with the currently defined resource area and longitudinal sections of the resource model through the Main Mineralized Trend. The model shows the predominance of at least 9 near-surface sulfide mineralized vertical structurally-controlled stockwork zones up to 50 metres wide and the presences of at least 14 near horizontal mantos (disseminated sulfide mineralization) up to 30 metres thick. In many instances the open areas shown on the figures are due to a lack of information rather than an established absence of mineralization. The deposit remains open latterly in all directions. The previous defined "Contact Zone" requires further drilling before potential resources are applied. The two section examples show the current computer-generated model using 15 gpt and 30 gpt Ag Eq.* cutoffs. Doubling the cutoff grade reduces the contained Ag equivalent ounces by only 15.2% which implies that higher grade material is available if required for the potential economic viability of the deposit.
The Company has completed 8 holes of a planned Phase II, 80 hole drilling program that will entail approximately 15,000 metres of additional drilling which will further expand and define the current resource and test three separate targets adjacent to the Main Mineralized Trend. Assay results are pending. The Phase II drilling, sampling, and metallurgical test work to determine flotation characteristics will be completed in 2012.
The Company believes the deposit is potentially amenable to open pit mining with standard conventional flotation processing similar to the nearby Sabinas Mine (Penoles) which is currently operating at an estimated 4,000 tpd and shipping concentrate overseas. Significant potential for resource expansion exists along the strike length of the Main Mineralized Trend and adjacent additional targets where historic data has indicated the presence of significant Ag-Au-Cu mineralization (see New Release dated Nov. 14, 2011).
Selective areas of lead, zinc, tungsten and molybdenum are also being evaluated for resource estimation. These metals are considered potential by-products of any Ag-Au-Cu mineralization production. Resource estimations for these metals will be reported when completed and will be incorporated in the Technical Report with the initial resources estimate to be filed on SEDAR.
The La Joya Property is located approximately 75 kilometres southeast of the city of Durango, Mexico. The property is located in a productive mineralized region which currently supports several large scale mining operations including Grupo Mexico's San Martin Mine, Industrias Peñoles' Sabinas Mine, Pan American Silver's La Colorada Mine and First Majestic Silver's La Parrilla Silver Mine. Please reference our website at www.silvercrestmines.com for more information, photos, a video and figures on La Joya.
