SMM Silver Mountain Mines Inc

Silver Mountain Mines Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SMM) ("Silver Mountain" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce that its 2013 exploration field program has
commenced at its wholly-owned Ptarmigan Mine property located near Radium,
British Columbia. 


The 2013 exploration field program will include:

- Rock and soil sampling, a gravity survey, trenching and geological mapping
throughout the property. See the 2012 geochemistry map on the Company's website
at: http://www.silvermountainmines.com/downloads/SMM_2012_GeochemistryMap.pdf 


- Continued onsite definition of the scope of a bulk extraction program and
completion of supporting documentation for submission of the required permit
application.


The gravity survey will be used to understand geological and structural controls
related to mineralization on the Ptarmigan Mine property. Previous drilling has
confirmed the presence of a fault-controlled mineralization within the Ptarmigan
basin. This mineralization is interpreted to extend both north (North Ridge) and
south (Hidden Vein and Iron Cap Trend) of the Ptarmigan Basin. Silver Mountain
believes the gravity data will assist in the identification and delineation of
both known and unknown subsurface structures and depth to mineralization. 


"Accurate acquisition and interpretation of geophysical data has proven integral
to successful exploration in many mining jurisdictions," states Steve Konopelky,
President of Silver Mountain Mines Inc. "The Ptarmigan Project is no different.
Geochemical sampling results from 2012 of 308 g/t Ag (9.00 oz/T Ag) and 12,346
g/t Ag (360.85 oz/T Ag  indicates strong potential for identification of
additional areas of high grade mineralization on the property. The gravity
survey is designed to better define such areas for subsequent drilling." 


During the first quarter of 2013, the company revised the parameters for a
proposed bulk extraction program based on the final results from metallurgical
studies completed in 2012 by ACME Metallurgical and through consultation with
MetSolve Laboratories Inc. and Sepro Mineral Systems Corp. 


A Phase II study consisting of the collection of additional geological,
mineralogical and metallurgical information has been initiated to determine the
feasibility of a bulk sample extraction of up to 10,000 tonnes from the historic
Ptarmigan Mine.
