Silver Predator Commences Taylor Project Drill Program |
Vancouver, British Columbia, April 5, 2011: Silver Predator Corp. (TSX:SPD) (“Silver Predator” or the "Company") is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced at its Taylor Project, located in White Pine County, Nevada. The Taylor Property includes a National Instrument (“NI”) 43-101 compliant resource of 14.9 million ounces silver from measured and indicated mineral resources of 5.84 million tonnes grading 79.2 g/t silver and 1.9 million ounces silver from an inferred mineral resource of 687,000 tonnes grading 87.1 g/t silver (using a 41.1 g/t silver cutoff grade: Hester, 2009). The 2011 Taylor Project drill program is planned to include at least 31 reverse circulation angle holes totaling over 2,900 m. The drilling will focus on the higher grade feeder veins as identified in Golden Predator Corp.’s 2009 program which included 13.7 m of 147.9 g/t silver from a depth of 39.6 m in hole GPT006 and 16.8 m of 196.8 g/t silver from a depth of 7.6 m in hole GPT008.(1) The 2009 drilling confirmed the extension of the higher grade veins mined in the Argus Mine, at the south end of the open pit deposit, with steeply dipping feeder structures traversing more than 900 m along the eastern edge of the known open pit resource. The current program is planned to test more than 600 m along the strike of this higher grade feeder zone. The majority of the current resource has been modeled using vertical holes into the stratabound replacement mineralization and did not consider the higher grade feeder structures that are the subject of the current drill program. The Taylor Project Additional information on the historic drilling and resource estimates can be found in the NI 43-101 compliant technical report on the Taylor silver project, prepared by Michael Hester and dated December 14, 2010. The technical report is posted on SEDAR, and can also be found on our website at www.silverpredator.com. David R. Hembree P.Geo., Exploration Manager, is the Qualified Person as defined under National Instrument 43-101, overseeing Silver Predator’s Taylor exploration programs and has reviewed Information presented on QA/QC procedures and technical aspects of the drilling results in this press release.
