Vancouver, British Columbia, April 10th, 2012: Silver Predator Corp. (TSX:SPD) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce the start of a two-phase 2012 reverse circulation drilling campaign at the Company’s Taylor Project, located 15 miles (24 km)southeast of Ely, Nevada. The program calls for a minimum of 50 reverse circulation drill holes totaling approximately 15,000 feet (4,700 m) and will consist of in-fill, step-out and exploration drilling in preparation for updating the current resource estimate that includes Measured and Indicated Resources of 14.9 million ounces of silver (Hester, 2010).
Additional metallurgical testing and permitting, along with an updated evaluation of the current mill design and capacity, are also underway with the goal of providing key inputs for a planned pre-feasibility study, scheduled for commencement later in the year. It is important to note that the drill hole database used for the current Taylor resource estimate, originally prepared in 2007, does not include the 60 holes drilled since then by the Company and its predecessors, Fury Exploration and Golden Predator Corp (TSX:GPD). 2012 Exploration Program The first phase of the drilling program is designed to upgrade the quality of the current resource base on the Project, focusing on the patented claim block on which much of the historic underground mining was conducted between 1875 and 1892, while the second phase will test outlying extensions with the goal of defining additional silver resources. Upon completion of permitting, the drill program is planned to continue on the adjacent unpatented ground, where additional drilling will step-out beyond the current resource limits. A detailed mapping program is planned to guide additional exploration for silver and gold targets on the Project later this summer. Goals for the 2012 Taylor Exploration Program include:
