(OTC: SILS.pk) is pleased to announce that cleaning and rehabilitation of underground workings is underway beginning at the first of 2013. Underground rehabilitation of older workings is being done in order to safely access drifts for sampling and further evaluation of the gold-silver vein system. The Venturina vein has exposed length of about 1.5 km. Previous drill holes reveal a vein with good gold and silver values.\n\n\n(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120904/CL67722LOGO) \n\n\nThe Venturina Vein zone, up to 30 meters wide, is partly exposed by workings that were completed circa 1900 by W.C.

The operating Mascota gold-silver mine of the Pinos Altos mine complex owned by Agnico Eagle Mining Co. is located about 9 km. southeast of the Venturina on the northwesterly oriented mineralized trend of the region. All mines of the area are similar with epithermal low sulfidation gold-silver mineralization. Other nearby operating precious metals mines include Ocampo and El Concheno, both owned by Minera Frisco, and Moris, operated by Hochschild Mining PLC. The large Ocampo mine complex was recently purchased by Minera Frisco for 750 million dollars from Aurico Gold in mid-October 2012.\n\n\n\nMel Herdrick, president commented, \"Silver Scott Mines is advancing the Venturina project toward permitting where we will be developing and exploring one of the remaining outcropping large, str...
