View News Release in PDF Format

Minco Silver Corporation (the "Company" or "Minco Silver") (TSX: MSV)is pleased to release the assay results for the final 11 holes drilled on its Fuwan Silver Project. To date in 2006, the company has completed 8,500m drilling in 34 holes (Phase I and II) on the Fuwan project. The current drilling program focuses on the west side of the deposit in a 700m by 500m area. The drilling grid over the major Fuwan silver zone has been increased to 80m×160m.

The company also announces that Phase III drilling program has started on the Fuwan Silver Project. About 8,000 meters will be drilled in the center of the deposit from section 35 from the West to section 12 to the East to increase the grid of drilling to 80m by 80m. Geotechnical, hydrological studies, metallurgical testing, and environmental assessment will be initiated shortly. A subsequent pre-feasibility study will be initiated in the first half of 2007. Minco Silver plans to apply for a mining license for the project during the second half of 2007. The Company is working aggressively to bring the project to production at an early date.

Out of 34 holes (total 8,500 meters) drilled so far this year, the assay results for the final 11 holes are summarized in table 1, highlighted by holes FW0019 returning 8.85 meters grading 338.47 gm/t silver and FW0035 returning 5.0 meters grading 439.55 gm/t silver.
