The objective of the twenty-two closely-spaced underground drill holes , with estimated 25 metre centres, and totaling 1,590 metres, was to better define the underground resources and verify widths and grades for the first planned production stopes to be mined in 2014.

Results from Drill Hole 13-07 showed 11.6 metres of 5.83 gpt gold and 232.5 gpt silver (including 1.15 metres of 21.7 gpt gold and 572 gpt silver), starting just 78 metres below surface. For additional results, please refer to the company's news release of February 17th, 2014. The results from these holes will be part of a resource update scheduled to be completed in the 2nd half of 2014.

N. Eric Fier, President & COO stated, "This underground drill program was successful in confirming good continuity of the Main Mineralized Zone (MMZ) and high grades for the initial planned production stopes to be mined in 2014. Valuable information was also provided from this program to better define overall reserves and subsequent stope designs. We look forward to successfully transitioning from our current open pit heap leach operation to underground mining with a 3000 tonnes per day conventional mill by show-H2 2014."

As Santa Elena progresses into an underground operation, further delineation drilling will be completed in 2014 to continue to verify production stope reserves. As of January 31, 2014, approximately 2,730 meters of underground lateral development including ramp access, 675 metres of ore development, and 430 metres of raise development had been completed by an independent contractor. Approximately 35,000 tonnes of ore from underground development has been delivered to the leach pad for partial metal recoveries by leaching and will be reprocessed through the nearly completed mill. With the arrival of the company's underground production equipment in May, test stoping is scheduled for late in the 2nd quarter and early 3rd quarter of 2014.

SilverCrest is also advancing the large silver, copper, gold deposit at the La Joya Property in Durango State, which has stated resources nearing 200 million ounces of silver equivalent. Other exploration targets in the vicinity of La Joya are under review.
