SilverCrest Mines Inc. is pleased to announce results of further drilling at the Santa Elena Mine in Sonora, Mexico. Eighty seven holes of a planned 100 holes have been completed to re-categorize Indicated and Inferred Resources to Probable Reserves and expand current underground Resources (see attached Figures: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/svl107_F1-2.pdf). This drill program continues to be extremely successful and several recent holes have identified multiple bonanza grade intercepts and a new high grade gold and silver zone that lies below and is sub-parallel to the Main Mineralized Zone currently being mined. All holes included in this program will assist with resource confirmation and reclassification which will be included in the upcoming Pre-Feasibility Study for the Santa Elena Expansion Project.
