Marketwired Canada
Prospero Silver Corp. (TSX VENTURE:PSL) ("Prospero" or the "Company") is pleased
to announce that its JV partner Silver Standard Resources, Inc. ("Silver
Standard") has completed a 15 hole 5,135 meter diamond drill program at the San
Luis Cordero project located in central Durango.
This initial program was aimed at multiple targets including the extension at
depth of the Santa Rosa mineralized zone, the extension to the northwest of the
Santa Rosa trend, the deep chargeability anomaly under the limestone plateau
located in the western zone, the extension to the east of the Santa Rosa East
skarn zone, and new targets defined by an IP survey and geochemistry in the
eastern La Puerta and India Bonita target zones.

-- Widths represent intersected lengths. It is estimated most widths are
within 70% of true widths. True widths will be reported at a later date
once drill hole cross sections are interpreted.
This drill hole program continues to expand the Santa Rosa vein mineralized zone
to the west, and the Santa Rosa East skarn zone to the east, and is open in both
directions. In the Santa Rosa East skarn, drill hole SSLC-13-21 intersected
mineralization hosted in hornfels, whereas holes SSLC-14-33 and SSLC-14-34
intersected mineralization hosted in calc-silicates. The intersection of hole
SSLC-13-21 indicates highly fractured hornfels host-rock tends to represent
favorable structural preparation for wider mineralization, whereas calc-silicate
hosted mineralization tends to be narrower and higher grade. Other targets that
remain to be tested include the Canal Zone and La Puerta skarn.
Under the terms of the Definitive Agreement, Silver Standard has the option to
earn a 51% interest within 3 years by incurring total property expenditures of
US$3.5M, a minimum of 4,000 meters of drilling in Year 1, and total cash
payments of US$1.5M (see Prospero's News Release of March 20, 2013). Upon Silver
Standard earning a 51% interest, the initial joint venture program shall have a
minimum program cost of US$4M over 36 months and require the preparation of a
pre-feasibility level study on the property. The Definitive Agreement also
contains provisions related to additional joint venture exploration and
development programs, including the dilution of a joint venture partner's
participating interest if such partner does not fund its portion of a program.
Tawn Albinson, M.Sc., President of the Company, is a Qualified Person, as
defined in NI 43-101, and is responsible for the technical content of this press
release. A quality control program is adopted to ensure best practices in the
sampling and analysis of drill core. Samples are shipped in sealed bags to
ALS-Chemex Laboratory preparation facilities in Chihuahua City (ISO 9001).
Shipments include intermittent standards and blanks. Sample pulps are shipped to
ALS-Chemex Laboratories in North Vancouver, B.C. for analysis. All samples were
assayed by multielemental ME-ICP41, and gold by ICP21 (Inductively Induced
Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectroscopy) which consists of a 30 gram fire assay with
an ICP-AES finish. Silver, lead, zinc and copper values in excess of 100 ppm,
1%, 1%, and 1% respectively were repeated with aqua regia digestion and with
ICP-AES (Code OG46).
