United Silver Corp. ('United Silver Corp.?,the 'Company?, or
'USC?; TSX: USC; OTC: USCZF; Frankfurt: UM8) is pleased to announce
that on May 24, USC miners at the Crescent Mine Project broke through to
the existing Big Creek #4 tunnel, a narrow, track tunnel dating back to
the early 1920′s. The miners had been driving the new trackless Big
Creek #4 adit since late March and have advanced more than 700 feet in
virgin ground. The breakthrough is a milestone in the plan of the
Project to achieve commercial production by the second quarter of 2013.
Having broken into the existing tunnel the crew will now advance
westward by widening the tunnel for another sixteen hundred feet, at
which point they will turn south into virgin ground to complete the
connection with the Countess Decline. Simultaneously, development crews
in the Countess Decline are continuing to ramp downward in the footwall
of the South Vein. Projections are for the two crews to hook up on the
3490 level in Spring of 2013. When connected to the Countess Decline,
the new Big Creek #4 adit and widened Big Creek #4 tunnel will provide a
secondary escape way, which is necessary before the mine can go into
regular production.
