| May 08, 2007 Minco Silver Intitiates Phase IV Exploration at Fuwan |
|
| Minco Silver Corporation (the "Company" or "Minco Silver") (TSX: MSV) is pleased to announce that the Company has initiated a Phase IV exploration program on its Fuwan Silver deposit located in Guangdong Province, China. The program is designed to further increase the confidence level of the resource through infill drilling and cover a broad spectrum of detailed engineering work to investigate the geotechnical, hydrological, and metallurgical characteristics of the project. Minco Silver has begun an 8,000 metre infill drilling program over the Southwest deposit area between section lines 43 and 15. The holes are located at 80 metre centres, along new section lines 40 metres apart, and decreases the distance between adjacent holes to yield a 56 metre by 56 metre grid. The deposit remains open to the South and the Company has planned for approximately 2,500 metres of "step out" drilling to test the Southern extension of the current area of interest. The drilling results from this program will be incorporated into the next resource calculation as the project advances. Approximately 3,000 to 5,000 metres of drilling will be undertaken to evaluate the hydrological aspects of the project. The area of focus is within the Southwest and Northeast mineralized blocks as well as the Eastern boundary of the Fuwan property. Additionally, 500 kilograms of representative core from mineralized zones within the Southwest Block will be sent to an approved facility for metallurgical testing. Minco Silver is currently operating 8 drill rigs on the property and anticipates completion of the Phase IV exploration program by the end of July, 2007. It is expected that the hydrological observations, compilation, and analysis of all test-work results will be completed soon after. The Company has also begun the process of engaging an experienced and reputable engineering firm to conduct a Preliminary Economic Analysis of the project. Minco Silver is working aggressively to advance the Fuwan Silver Project and details of the Company's regional exploration program to test additional showings within the 10 kilometre Fuwan Silver Belt will be released within the next few weeks.
