(the \"Company\") is pleased to announce initial drill results from the Victor target on its 100% controlled Tonopah West project located in the Walker Lane trend of Western Nevada.HIGHLIGHTS:Drillhole TW20-001 intersected a new vein yielding 3 metres grading 2,198 g/t silver equivalent (silver :gold ratio 100:1) using a 400 g/t silver equivalent cut-off grade;Drillhole TW20-001 also extended the Victor Vein 30 metres down plunge with the intersection of 965 g/t silver equivalent over 29 metres;Two additional drillholes are completed at the Victor Vein target to test the down plunge extension (assays pending);A core drill is being mobilized to site to follow up on TW20-001's outstanding results;Drilling is on going at the Denver, Paymaster and Bermuda (DPB) target with three of eight drillholes completed and one in progress; andThe New Discovery and Ohio Vein targets remain untested at this time.Andrew Pollard, President & CEO commented, \"As the first group to target the historic workings within this prolific, historic silver district in the heart of Nevada, our first drillhole, having encountered multiple significant high-grade veins, is nothing short of remarkable.

Drillhole TW20-001 is the first of three drillholes to test this target.TW20-001 targeted the down-plunge extension of the Victor Vein silver and gold zone. The drillhole intersected this zone which dips 45 degrees to the northwest starting at 574.5 metres down the drillhole. The drillhole was designed to intersect the zone 50 metres down-plunge; however,it intersected at 40 meters due to deviation...
