Mining Stock Alert: SilverCrest (TSX.V: SVL) (NYSE MKT: SVLC) Announces Q2 Record Silver Production 194,022 Ounces Silver & 7,463 Ounces Gold

Vancouver, British Columbia - July 17, 2013 (Investorideas.com Mining Stocks Newswire) SilverCrest Mines Inc. (TSX.V:SVL) ( NYSE MKT: SVLC) is pleased to announce production numbers for the second quarter of 2013 from its 100% owned Santa Elena Mine located in Sonora, Mexico.

Production Highlights of Q2, 2013 vs Q1, 2013;

• Record silver production of 194,022 ounces; a 26% increase from Q1.
• Gold production of 7,463 ounces; a 3% increase from Q1.
• Silver equivalent production of 665,684 ounces; a 20% increase from Q1.
• Waste to ore ratio was consistent with the mine plan at 2.52; a 41% decrease from Q1.
• Ore Tonnes crushed increased 18% to 307,091 tonnes with throughput averaging 3,375 tpd.
• Total ounces delivered to the pads increased significantly by 25% and 13% for silver and gold respectively.

J. Scott Drever, Chairman and CEO stated; "We are pleased with production results for the second quarter which tracked well to budget. For the first six months of 2013, silver production was 347,503 ounces (11% above budget) and gold production was 14,688 ounces (11% below budget). We are starting to mine the planned higher ore grades from open pit so anticipate increased ounces produced in the second half of 2013. Based on continually exceeding forecasted silver ounces produced each month, we are increasing our annual silver production guidance from 625,000 ounces to 675,000 ounces. We are maintaining our annual gold production guidance of 33,000 ounces for 2013".
Management has responded to the recent sharp decline in metal prices by re-enforcing ongoing disciplined cost and capital reduction measures to maintain 2013 cash cost at or below US$8.50 per silver equivalent ounce enabling the Company to complete all major capital expenditures associated with the Santa Elena Expansion.

(1) Silver equivalence is based on market spot prices per ounce of silver and gold at the quarter end dates. All numbers are rounded.
(2) Average strip ratio for 2013, is projected at 2.7:1. Q1, 2013 strip ratio of 4.27:1 was higher than projected due to accelerating waste removal.

Q2 2013 Santa Elena Expansion Update:

• As of June 30, 2013, approximately 65% of the budgeted 2013 capital cost of US$65M has been committed. The Santa Elena Expansion is currently on time and budget with scheduled mill start up in January 2014.
• Approximately 2,000 metres of underground development have been completed (project to date) including a crosscut on the 625 metre level that has intersected and exposed the deposit where the exploration model projected its location. A crosscut (hanging wall to footwall) to expose the ore body has been completed showing a mineralized true thickness of 13 metres with a chip - channel sampling grade (uncut) of 3.4 gpt Au and 718.8 gpt Ag which is consistent with the Reserve model. Development has been driven on the footwall contact of mineralization for an estimated 70 metres in preparation for 2014 production. Muck and chip samples from development in mineralization have graded up to 11.1 gpt Au and 2,690 gpt Ag. Approximately 5,000 tonnes of ore development material has been crushed and delivered to the leach pad for partial metal recovery with anticipated reprocessing through the new process facility, once completed.
• In May 2013, significant water was encountered underground while doing ore development on the 625 metre level. Pumping volumes to date are manageable with mine development continuing. A hydrology study has been implemented to assess potential long-term water volumes which may be considered an asset for desert operating conditions
.
• On-site construction of the 3,000 tonne per day mill is well underway with earthworks complete, concrete for major foundations poured and CCD tank and thickener construction near completion. Major equipment has been delivered to site including; new cone crushers and generators (see attached photo dated July 6, 2013: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/886966.jpg and refer to www.silvercrestmines.com for additional construction photos.)
• The majority of the construction contracts are in place with numerous contractors currently working safely on site.
• SilverCrest completed all drilling required to define and expand the Resources and Reserves with revised numbers announced in a news release dated May 29, 2013. The Santa Elena Expansion Pre-Feasibility Study will be filed this month.
• Several drill holes that are not included in the Santa Elena Expansion Pre-Feasibility Study (Resources and Reserves) have yet to be released. These holes represent potential for further expansion of resources and will be reported when compilation is completed.
• An underground definition drilling program, aiming delineation of initial production stopes is planned for completion in H2 2013, to assist in the preparation for mining in 2014.

Mining in Mexico: Q&A with SilverCrest Mines Inc. (TSX.V: SVL) (NYSE MKT: SVLC)

Point Roberts, WA / New York, NY - June 14, 2013 (Investorideas.com Mining Stocks Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leader in sector research for independent investors, including mining stocks, presents an exclusive Q&A with SilverCrest Mines Inc. ( TSX.V: SVL ) ( NYSE MKT: SVLC) (CW5.F), a company with its flagship property in the State of Sonora, México.

This interview is part of an ongoing series of articles on investment opportunities within the four countries of the Pacific Alliance, (Colombia, Chile, Mexico and Peru) with a primary focus on mining and oil and gas stocks.
Q: Investorideas.com
Scott, can you give investors a brief history of when your company first invested in the Mexico property and why ?
A: J. Scott Drever , Chief Executve Officer, Chairman
SilverCrest had its first major effort in Mexico in 2005 with the acquisition of the Santa Elena project. We transitioned to Mexico from some very bad experiences in Honduras and El Salvador with changing mining laws and concentrated NGO opposition to mining. Mexico on the other hand has turned out to be one of the best jurisdictions for mining of all the countries I have worked in during my rather lengthy career. The relatively untapped potential for economic mineral deposits, decent infrastructure and access along with a pool of qualified people make the country all that more attractive.
Q: Investorideas.com
Can you give investors a brief update on the reserves and estimates on the Santa Elena Mine, in the State of Sonora, México?
A: J. Scott Drever, Chief Executive Officer
After an extensive program of development drilling over the last 12 months we recently announced new reserve and resource estimates for Santa Elena. Our total probable reserve currently stands at 8.19 million tonnes grading 1.24 gpt gold and 74.9 gpt silver and containing 327,000 ounces of gold and 19.75 million ounces of silver. This should be sufficient reserves for approximately 8 years of production starting in January of 2014 when our new 3000 tonne per day conventional mill should be operational. Of course there are also indicated and inferred resources containing another 188,000 ounces of gold and 15.36 million ounces of silver. We are also making discoveries of additional zones as we continue to explore and develop the underground reserves so we are confident the mine life can be extended beyond the expected 8 years..
Q: Investorideas.com
The company has announced expansion plans to almost double the annual metals production in 2014 at the Santa Elena Mine. Separate from the company, is there direct benefit back to the State of Sonora and Mexico?
A: J. Scott Drever , Chief Executive Officer
The returns to the local, state and federal governments take the form of corporate taxes, direct and spin off employment benefits, utilization of construction and operating contractors and service and equipment purchases from local suppliers. We currently have approximately 450 people on site engaged in our operations and construction of the mill related facilities. SilverCrest has about 150 direct employees with contractors for operations and construction employing another 300 people nearly all of which are Mexican nationals and all of which pay state, federal and local taxes. Through our Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives we provide support for such things as municipal infrastructure, community improvement projects, health care and scholarships for local graduates.
Q: Investorideas.com
Since you have been involved in Mexico, what have been the biggest obstacles to overcome in mining there ?
A: J. Scott Drever, Chief Executive Officer
Compared to other jurisdictions I have worked in the challenges in Mexico have been minimal. We have had excellent cooperation from all levels of government, there is rule of law where ever we have worked and most importantly the mining law and environmental permitting process are well established. If you do things in a proper manner the permits will be forth coming in a timely manner. SilverCrest’s main challenge in developing the Santa Elena was not anything in Mexico but the dearth of financing options during in the 2008-09 financial crisis.
Q: Investorideas.com
The intent of the recent formation of the Pacific Alliance( Colombia, Mexico, Chile and Peru) was to create an environment that is investment friendly and to encourage new business and trade. Do you see improvements that would motivate new companies to enter the mining space, since that is your area of expertise?
A: J. Scott Drever, Chief Executive Officer
I am not terribly familiar with the mandate of the Pacific Alliance nor have I seen any of their specific initiatives. However, from my perspective, based of some fairly subjective information, I would say that Colombia has made some positive progress, most of Mexico is still very attractive for mining projects but I think both Peru and Chile have regressed in terms of creating an attrative environment for mining investment.The recent moves by many governments to secure greater and greater interests in or returns from mining projects without assuming any of the risks is certainly a disincentive to most mining companies.
