ECU Silver discovers northern branch of Terneras East

ECU Silver Mining announces the discovery of another new vein yielding an average of 2.18 g/t Au, 2,243 g/t Ag, 8.99% Pb and 6.85% Zn over a width of 0.26 metres (0.85 feet). This new vein is believed to be a northern branch of the Terneras East vein, the eastern extension of the major Terneras vein.

The Company is driving a north trending cross-cut that is east of the Tres Aguilas Fault which in turn is located in the eastern part of the main Velardena Property.

Chip samples were collected from the east and west face of the cross-cut and from the north-end face of the cross-cut with results. The north-end face sampled a high-grade patch which is typically not part of the sampling process based on its width. However, the significant grades realized from the high-grade patch help to explain why historically, the Company has yielded mining grades which tend to be much higher than the average sampling grades.

The Company is continuing to realize exploration success as it drives its cross-cut to the north. In the past four weeks, the Company has had three new discoveries arising from this cross-cut.

This latest discovery continues to support the concept that Terneras East is a system of veins where eventually several veins may be included into a future updated N.I. 43-101 mineral resource estimate.

Development plans are to continue driving the cross-cut as well as open fresh east-west drifts that will follow each of these new vein discoveries.
