Minco Silver Corporation (the "Company" or "Minco Silver") (TSX:MSV) is pleased to announce that the Phase V drilling program has begun on the Fuwan Silver deposit located in Guangdong Province, China. The Phase IV program has recently been completed and consisted of 40 holes for 11,377 metres of diamond core drilling.

Assays for the remaining 30 Phase IV holes are still pending. The Phase V program consists of 23 holes for approximately 6,000 metres of drilling. It is designed to increase the level of confidence in the resource within the Northeast extension area through infill drilling.
