(TSX VENTURE: VML) (\"Viscount\" or \"the Company\"), a mineral resource development company with a portfolio of past producing silver mines and exploration properties on its wholly-owned land in Nevada, is pleased to announce it has located a detailed geological report identifying previously unknown facts regarding its wholly-owned lands in Nevada.\n\n \n \nThe report which is not 43-101 compliant authored in 1985, was written by Michael Tignoni and titled,\" Ticup-Fillmore and Star Mines, Cherry Creek Mining District, White Pine County Nevada for Ticup Mining Corporation headed by Fred Anderson.\" The report provides previously unknown historical information of the potential of these strategic veins owned by Viscount Mining within the Cherry Creek project area.\n\n \n \n\"The following salient points have been extracted from the report and clearly demonstrate that a very great potential has come to light, positioning the project with additional large tonnages of silver and gold reserves,\" states Dr. Howard Lahti, VP of Exploration at Viscount Mining Corp. \n\n \n \nTicup-Fillmore Mines\n\n \n \n\n\n- A total of 46 samples were taken by Tognoni with 20 assaying more than 5 oz./t silver, 12 samples with more than 20 oz./t silver, 5 samples greater than 40 oz./t silver, and 3 samples with greater than 150 oz./t silver.
