SilverCrest (TSXV: $SIL.V) Announces Additional High Grade Underground Results At Las Chispas; Commencement of Surface Drilling Program
Vancouver – April 28, 2016 (Investorideas.com Newswire) SilverCrest Metals Inc. (TSXV: $SIL.V) (“SilverCrest” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce additional results from the underground channel sampling program and the commencement of a surface drilling program at its Las Chispas Project (“Las Chispas”) located in Sonora, Mexico , as previously announced on March 2, 2016. Las Chispas is in a prolific mining area with nearby precious metal producers. Historical reports indicate the presence of 14 veins in the district of which only three (Las Chispas, William Tell and Babicanora) have been previously mined extensively in the early 1900s, but none of which appear to have been drilled.
N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng, President & CEO stated, “We continue to systematically complete our planned underground rehabilitation program at Las Chispas to evaluate areas of known high grade silver-gold mineralization. To date, we have accessed two kilometres of the estimated six kilometres of underground workings. Our first detailed underground channel sampling, as reported below, indicates continuous high grade areas that are easily accessible for potential future mining. In late March, we also commenced a surface drilling program to test extensions of known mineralized veins for potential new discoveries. For the next three months, we will be focusing on continually accessing historical underground workings to assess further high grade continuous mineralization.”
Underground Rehabilitation Update
In an effort to start confirming continuity of underground high grade potential at Las Chispas, 36 continuous channel samples were collected at intervals about every 2.1 metres across the width of the vein for approximately 75 metres. This location at the William Tell Vein is easily accessible. Based on historic information, this vein has an estimated 1 kilometre strike length, can be projected to a depth of 300 metres, and has an average width of 1.5 metres. Sample results averaged 1.1 metres of 2.4 gpt gold and 174.9 gpt silver, or 358.1 gpt silver equivalent* (uncut, undiluted) over a 75 metre strike length. The following table summarizes the 17 most significant results of the 36 samples collected;

All assays were completed by ALS Chemex in Hermosillo, Mexico and North Vancouver, BC.
The initial geochemical signature at Las Chispas is Ag-Au-Sb-Ba-Mn-Ca indicating a low to intermediate sulphidation epithermal system. Initial geochemical test results suggest that the veins at Las Chispas may be similar to both nearby producing Santa Elena and Mercedes deposits.
Surface Drilling Update
Concurrent with the underground rehabilitation, a surface drilling program of approximately 3,000 metres commenced in late March. To date, six holes have been completed for a total of 1,500 metres. This initial drill program is designed to test known mineralization, extensions of mineralization and the potential for new discoveries. All holes have intersected quartz stockwork and veining that are currently being logged and sampled. Upon receipt of assays, the results will be announced and integrated with the underground information.
The Company has applied for a MIA (Environmental Impact Statement) for an underground drilling program of 2,000 metres to test potential near-surface resource areas and deeper extensional targets of below the historical workings. Minimal underground work is required to begin underground drilling. Depending on permitting, this program is expected to start in the second half of 2016. This permit also includes the extraction of a 100,000-tonne bulk sample for testing and processing off site.
