(NYSE: FSM | TSX: FVI | BVL: FVI | Frankfurt: F4S.F) is pleased to report results for twelve additional surface drill holes\n at the Trinidad North high-grade silver-gold discovery at the San Jose\n Mine in Mexico.  With the exception of drill hole SJO-304, the reported\n drill holes are generally positioned to define the approximate limits\n of the Trinidad North ore shoot.  The ore shoot remains open to depth\n and to the north with drilling from underground stations projected to\n start in early September.\n\n\nTrinidad North Drilling Highlights: \n\n\n\n\nHole_Id\n\n\nFrom\n(m)\n\n\nTo\n\n(m)\n\n\nInterval\n(m)\n\n\nEst.
