ECU SILVER REPORTS ARRIVAL OF HIGH PERFORMANCE DEEP DRILL AT ITS VELARDENA SITE

The high-performance deep hole diamond drill has arrived on site at ECU Silver Mining Inc.'s 100-per-cent-owned Velardena property and is being lowered in the mine today to be installed in the drilling station on level 18.

The high-performance drill will be used to further test the deep seated massive sulphides at a depth of approximately 800 meters below level 18 to confirm the extensions of the intercepts that were reported in drill hole SJ-08-21 on July 9, 2008.

Drill hole SJ-08-21 intersected two massive sulphide veins (the M-S veins). The first intercept yielded 3.66 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au), 295 g/t silver (Ag), 7.87 per cent lead (Pb) and 12.07 per cent zinc (Zn) (945 g/t Ag equivalent) over a core length of 12.04 metres (40 feet). The second intercept yielded 7.90 g/t Au, 550 g/t Ag, 11.25 per cent Pb and 27.68 per cent Zn (1,845 g/t Ag equivalent) over a core length of 1.75 metres (six feet). Silver and gold equivalents are calculated based on current commodity prices.

The high-performance deep hole drill will employ directional drilling by using a combination of down-hole mud-motors and controlled drilling. The drill has a capacity to reach vertical depths of up to 2,000 meters. The exploration program to test the massive sulphides at depth will consist of a series of deep holes ("parent holes") from which a further series of daughter holes will fan out from the parent hole to intercept targets at a certain distance from the parent hole.

The high-performance drill is being mobilized to the underground drill station located on level 18 of the Santa Juana mine and we expect drilling operations to commence shortly.

The benefits to be obtained from the use of the high-performance diamond drill are, among other things, the ability to:

-- Intersect deep target areas with accuracy;

-- Branch a number of daughter holes off a main parent borehole to test multiple targets to verify the continuity of the zones;

-- Achieve significant cost savings by virtue of reduced quantity of drilling to get the same number of intercepts.

Michel Roy, Chairman and CEO stated, "This latest exploration campaign will finally allow the Company to verify the theories about the nature of the deep massive sulfides intercepts and their relative importance."

We seek Safe Harbor.
