Venturina Mine Project Underground Rehabilitation and Cleaning,
Chihuahua, Mexico
HERMOSILLO, Mexico, May 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Silver Scott Mines, Inc. (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.

The Venturina Vein zone, up to 30 meters wide, is partly exposed
by workings that were completed circa 1900 by W.C. Greene, who was the famous founder of the
giant Cananea copper mine.
Federal Highway No. 16, crossing from Hermosillo to Chihuahua City, passes about 10
km north of the mine which is located within 5 km of the Sonora
state border in the Western Sierra Madre mountain chain. 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.
Mel 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, strongly mineralized precious metal
systems of the northwestern Mexican Sierra
Madre mountains. This is a strong opportunity to develop
significant surface and underground resources in the project area.
Our overall corporate goal, as a junior explorer-miner, is to
define, and produce gold and silver commensurate with expansion of
each selected project's potential in order to maximize shareholder
value." Silver Scott is also currently advancing into
production the Carmen Mine silver-gold deposit in northern
Sonora.
