Mining Stocks News: SilverCrest (TSX: SVL) (NYSE MKT: SVLC) Options Cumobabi Property

Mining Stocks News: SilverCrest (TSX: SVL) (NYSE MKT: SVLC) Options Cumobabi Property

Vancouver, BC - November 18, 2014 (Investorideas.com Mining Stocks Newswire) SilverCrest Mines Inc. (TSX:SVL) (NYSE MKT: SVLC) is pleased to announce it has signed a five year option agreement (the “Agreement”) with Evrim Resources Corp. (TSX.V: EVM) (“Evrim”) whereby SilverCrest can acquire a 100% interest in Evrim’s Cumobabi Property in the State of Sonora, Mexico. The Cumobabi Property is in the general vicinity of the Santa Elena mine and adjacent to the Ermitaño Property which was previously optioned by the Company (see news release dated January 14, 2014).

SilverCrest can earn a 100% interest in Cumobabi by paying US$75,000 upon signing the Agreement and US$50,000 each anniversary thereafter, completing a minimum of US$500,000 in exploration expenditures by the second anniversary, and delivering a Production Notice within five years, specifying mine and construction plans with accompanying permits. Upon vesting, SilverCrest will no longer be required to make the annual payments and Evrim will retain a 1.5% Net Smelter Returns Royalty on the Cumobabi Property.

SilverCrest’s acquisition of the Cumobabi Property significantly consolidates SilverCrest’s land position in the vicinity of the Santa Elena Mine. The concessions host the same early Tertiary andesite and rhyolite volcanic rocks with major structures that host the Santa Elena silver and gold low sulphidation epithermal mineralization. When combined with the recently acquired option on the Ermitaño Property, SilverCrest now controls over 300 square kilometres of mineral rights, prospective for gold and silver resources, adjacent to or in the near vicinity of the Santa Elena mine. The lands are considered to be highly prospective and are expected to play a strategic role in the organic growth of SilverCrest's resources.

Initial exploration work is planned on the Cumobabi Property by the Company in 2015.
The Qualified Person under National Instrument (NI 43-101) Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects for this News Release is N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng, President and Chief Operating Officer for SilverCrest Mines Inc., who has reviewed and approved its contents.


SilverCrest Mines Inc. (NYSE MKT: SVLC; TSX: SVL) is a Canadian precious metals producer headquartered in Vancouver, BC. SilverCrest’s flagship property is the 100%-owned Santa Elena Mine, located 150 km northeast of Hermosillo, near Banamichi in the State of Sonora, México. The mine is a high-grade, epithermal silver and gold producer, with an estimated life of mine of 8 years at an average operating cash costs of $11 per ounce of silver equivalent (55:1 Ag:Au). SilverCrest anticipates that the new 3,000 tonnes per day conventional mill facility at the Santa Elena Mine should recover an average of 1.5 million ounces of silver and 32,800 ounces of gold per annum over the current reserve life. Major expansion, including commissioning of the 3,000 tonnes per day conventional mill facility and underground mine, is complete and is expected to result in increased metals production at the Santa Elena Mine during the second half of 2014 and beyond. Exploration programs continue to result in new discoveries at Santa Elena and also have rapidly advanced the definition of a large polymetallic deposit at the La Joya property in Durango State, Mexico.
