Discovery Ventures-MAX Mine Dam Safety Inspection Underway

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Sep 18, 2014) - Discovery Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:DVN)(FRANKFURT:0DV) ("Discovery" or the "Company"), announces it has engaged geotechnical consulting firm Klohn Crippen Berger (KCB) of Vancouver, BC to complete a Dam Safety Inspection ("DSI") of the MAX Mine Tailings Storage Facility ("TSF"). A site inspection was completed on September 4, 2014 by KCB. SRK Consultants of Vancouver, BC has also been engaged to complete an independent third party review of the DSI and recently completed a site visit to the MAX TSF.

The DSI and independent third party review of all tailings storage facilities in the province was ordered by BC's Chief Inspector of Mines on August 18, 2014. The order requires all tailings impoundment structures be inspected, have independent third party review and include a review of the dam consequence classification. The DSI, independent report and other information must be submitted to the Chief Inspector before December 1, 2014.

Having completed the site inspection, the consultants are now reviewing design and monitoring records in conjunction with Canadian Dam Association, Dam Safety Guidelines, and the Company anticipates that work will be completed well before the required submission date. Further, Discovery's 35% owned subsidiary FortyTwo Metals (the owner and operator of the MAX Mine) has also committed to making the reports publically available on its website after they have been submitted to the Chief Inspector.
