Canasil Resources Inc. : MAG Silver Completes Phase 1 Drilling and Plans Phase 2 Program at Canasil’s La Esperanza Project in Durango and Zacatecas States, Mexico

Canasil Resources Inc. announces that MAG Silver Corp. has completed 8 additional drill holes on the Esperanza Vein at Canasil’s La Esperanza silver-zinc-lead project in Durango and Zacatecas States, Mexico. These holes were blind step-outs on projection of the vein located 400 metres northwest, 350 metres southeast and 1,000 metres southeast of the previously drilled high-grade ore shoot, which returned very encouraging silver, zinc and lead intercepts in MAG’s initial 3 drill holes, previously reported on February 22, 2012, as well as in previous drilling by Canasil. The latest holes did not intercept the vein, most probably due to apparent post-mineral faulting that has displaced the vein, which will be investigated in future exploration and drilling. MAG interprets the large aeromagnetic anomaly observed in the Esperanza vein zone, measuring approximately 5 kilometres by 3 kilometres, as a possible signature of a significant mineralized system which will continue to be explored.
