SNS Silver hires SRK consulting

SNS Silver Corporation has engaged SRK Consulting (US), Inc. to provide an independent qualified person to develop a resource estimate compliant with National Instrument 43-101 for the discoveries made last summer at the Company’s exploration project located at the historic Crescent Mine.

SRK is an internationally recognized independent consulting firm focused on all aspects of mine development and design. SRK will initially provide technical support for a resource estimation which can support a preliminary mine design.

SRK’s qualified person made a site visit to the Crescent Mine exploration project at the beginning of February to conduct interviews with technical staff, observe ongoing exploration, and review historic data files, in preparation for the resource estimation.

SNS President, Tom Fudge, said, I’m extremely pleased to be working with such a highly regarded organization as SRK. There is no doubt we’ll need to complete some in-fill drilling before the resource estimate can be finalized but we’re already getting started on data preparation for the modeling to begin in the next couple of months. We anticipate the NI 43-101 compliant resource estimation will be available by the end of the calendar year.
