| December 04, 2007 Minco Silver Receives Positive Hydrogeology Report on the Fuwan Project from SRK Consulting |

|
Minco Silver Corporation (the "Company" or "Minco Silver") (TSX: MSV) is pleased to announce receipt of a hydrogeological review report on its Fuwan Project, located in Guangdong Province, China, completed by independent engineering firm SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. SRK was contracted in July 2007 by the Company to provide hydrogeological services to support those being provided by Minco Silver's local consultants, the 757 Exploration Brigade Team. The Hydrogeological Scoping Level Assessment was carried out under the direction of Senior Hydrogeologist M. Royle from Vancouver with peer reviews by SRK Principal Hydrogeologist Stefan Muller in Perth, and SRK Corporate Consultant Richard Connelly in the UK. As outlined in the recent Preliminary Economic Assessment, completed by SRK, the proposed mining area is located approximately 600 m west of the Xijiang River, and 600 m south of the Changkeng Ditch and is contained within an envelope between sections 43W and 16E. The deposit is situated within a known karst environment, therefore potential inflows and the infrastructure required to manage those flows must be verified by further work. Exploration drilling indicates that mining will proceed in a southwest direction away from the river. To date, 18 hydro-geological test holes have been drilled to test the connectivity of the various structures in place at Fuwan. Pumping tests from open holes have returned varying inflow rates from 0.25m3/day to 1,300m3/day (0.003 L/s to 15 L/s) with varying related drawdowns in each test hole. A map outlining the above features is provided below:  Based upon the available data, important conclusions from the report include the following:
Concurrent with the SRK Scoping Level Assessment, the 757 team is conducting hydrogeological, environmental, and geotechnical programs for the project as part of the requirements of the Chinese Mining Licence application.
