NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Minco Silver Corporation (the "Company" or "Minco Silver") (TSX: MSV) is pleased to announce that it intends to issue, via a non-brokered private placement, of up to 11,764,706 Units at a price of CND$1.70 per Unit for an aggregate issuance of 17,647,059 common shares in the capital stock of the Minco Silver representing 54.6% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (a "Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant or Warrants"). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Share at a purchase price of $2.15 per Share for a period of twelve (12) months for aggregate gross proceeds of up to CND$20,000,000 (the "Offering"). The Warrants will be subject to standard anti-dilution adjustments in certain circumstances. A cash Finder fee will be payable on a portion of the Offering in accordance with TSX policy.

The completion of the Offering will result in the issuance of Shares in excess of 25% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company and therefore will require shareholder approval pursuant to TSX policies. The company advises that in accordance with Section 604(d) of the TSX Company Manual the Company will obtain shareholder approval by way of written consents.

Minco Silver is also pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with IDG-Accel China Growth Fund II L.P. (" Accel") a fund under management by IDGVC Capital Partners located in the Peoples Republic of China to participate in the Offering for 6,000,000 Units for aggregate gross proceeds of CND$10,200,000. Assuming the exercise of the Warrants for an aggregate issuance of 9,000,000 common shares to Accel representing 21.8% on a partially diluted basis of the issued and outstanding shares of Minco Silver will not result in a material effect in control due to Minco Gold Corporations control position.

The Offering is being made in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and certain other jurisdictions. The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about September 30, 2009 and is subject to the approval of the TSX and all applicable securities regulatory authorities. All of the common shares issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a four-month hold period.

The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for the development of the Company's Fuwan Silver Project located in the Province of Guangdong in the Peoples Republic of China; the continued financing of Sterling Mining Company and reorganization and for general corporate purposes.
