DE R.L. DE C.V. to rehabilitate the historic underground workings of the F Vein at the Columba Silver Project in Chihuahua State,\n \n Mexico\n \n . Initial work will assess the ability to gain access to the underground workings and begin dewatering the old mine. Clearing and timbering of an adit (entrance to an underground mine) is underway with the objective of gaining access to the main shaft and a secondary inclined shaft to begin dewatering and evaluating old mine workings for rehabilitation.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n James McDonald\n \n , CEO & President, comments\n \n \n \"Getting into the old mine workings and being able to see the F Vein in the old adit is a very exciting step forward for the Columba property and one more step closer to evaluating the resource and economic potential of the property. To the best of our knowledge this is the first time in 40 years work within the mine has been conducted in the upper levels and likely 100 years since anyone was in the lower levels.\"\n \n \n \n Access to the old working will provide valuable information on the extent of historic mining and development, vein widths and grades, wall rock conditions and water flows. Additionally, this will allow for more cost-effective infill and expansion, drilling to greater depths, and provide bulk sample for metallurgical work.\n \n \n Detailed mapping and sampling will occur concurrently with rehabilitation work after safe and secure access to the F Vein is established. This mapping and sampling will aid in accurate modeling and resource work for the F Vein.\n \n \n Work is expected to take approximately 4 m...
