|||||
| Minco Silver Corporation (the "Company" or "Minco Silver")(TSX: MSV) is pleased to announce the assay results for the remaining 19 holes of the Phase III drilling program on its Fuwan Silver Project located in the Guangdong Province in southeast China. The program consisted of 30 holes, adding 7,509 metres of core drilling, and increases the drill density to 80 metres by 80 metres. To date, the Company has completed 65 holes for a total of 16,009 metres of core drilling on the project and is expecting to announce a resource upgrade in the near term that incorporates all the data generated from the Phase I, II, and III drill programs. Zone widths for the remaining 19 holes varied from 0.28 metres to 12.65 metres with silver grades ranging from 56.92 grams per tonne to 1,438.00 grams per tonne. The assay results are highlighted by hole FW0050 (599.09 g/t silver over 3.01m), hole FW0057 (404.16g/t silver over 3.32m), hole FW0058 (867.20 g/t silver over 1.82m), and hole FW0059 (160.96 g/t silver over 7.85m). Detailed results for the 19 core drill holes announced today are provided below:
