“The current market is providing SMM an opportunity to re-evaluate all the data to better understand where the potential high grade mineralization exist and to further develop the potential of significant polymetallic manto/vein mineralization in a historically rich mineralized area. We continue to believe that the results we have amassed over several programs warrants new interpretations, to the south within Iron Cap basin and to the east , in the unexplored Law creek area. Strong historical occurrences of known high grade mineralization demonstrate the discovery potential for additional mineralized targets throughout the property,” says Steve Konopelky, Director of the company.

Past reported results (www.silvermountainmines.com) of weighted average drill intercepts include 4.60 metres grading 1,949 g/t Ag, 0.803 g/t Au and 0.72 % Cu, including 0.33 metres grading 22,945 g/t Ag, 5.75 g/t Au and 8.24% Cu and 1.49 metres grading 5,919 g/t Ag, 1.87 g/t Au and 2.18% Cu in hole PT14-118. Additional mineralized intercepts have been documented from the following holes: PT14-112 with 1.34 metres grading 1,208 g/t of Ag, 2.35 g/t Au and 1.26% Cu, including 0.29 meters grading 5,426 g/t Ag, 16.26 g/t Au and 3.21% Cu, PT14-116 with 1.0 metre grading 1,188 g/t of Ag, 0.55 g/t Au and 0.45% Cu, including 0.21 meters grading 5,261 g/t Ag, 2.18 g/t Au and 1.99% Cu and PT14-119 with 0.26 metres grading 5,243 g/t Ag, 2.20 g/t Au and 1.88% Cu. These past drill results, together with new interpretation may indicate additional high grade intercepts documented at shallower levels suggest at least three mineralized structures within the target area. 

The Company may pay a finders fee relative to the Offering and the securities issued in the Offering will be subject to a hold period of four months plus one day from closing and are further subject to such other applicable regulatory and TSX Venture Exchange approvals. The Company will use the proceeds of the private placement for exploration work, property evaluation, strategic alternatives and for working capital.
