Drill core was split using a diamond saw following geological logging. The split core samples were then sealed by Minco geologists and shipped to PRA's Kunming Lab for sample preparation and assayed for Ag, Au, Pb and Zn. Silver was assayed with fire assay and Pb and Zn were assayed with acid digestion and AA finish. Assay results were further checked at PRA's Vancouver lab as an internal check. Reference materials were inserted by Minco staff geologists as a further assay control. About 20% samples were selected by Minco geologist and were re-analysed at commercial labs in Vancouver. The assay data provided by PRA is considered acceptable. This news release has been reviewed and approved for release by William Meyer, P.Eng. Chairman of the Board, and designated Qualified Person. Since early September, Minco Silver's geologists began data compilation and report preparation for the Phase I and II programs at Fuwan. A preliminary economic evaluation will be commissioned shortly to determine project viability and the initial mining area. A program comprising more detailed infill drilling, geotechnical and hydrological studies, metallurgical testing, and environmental base-line studies, will be designed to be initiated in October, 2006.
