Extraction Begins Of Mineralized Material At Buckeye Silver Mine


ONTARIO - Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (SBMI) has begun extracting mineralized material from its Buckeye Silver Mine in Arizona after taking delivery of its first shipment of blasting powder. SBMI's intention is to produce an initial total of 10,000 tonnes of mineralized material at a rate of 125 tonnes per day.

SBMI's initial target is the high-grade silver zone identified in 1976 by K.C. Delise, a Registered Geologist, in a report titled Surface/Underground Mapping and Sampling. Accompanying the report was a Mine Shaft Survey dated October 23, 1976 prepared by him for International Resources and Minerals Development Company. In his report he mapped and identified this zone as extending approximately 500 feet along strike.

The Company has found a summary of assay results from 1976 and 1977 from Clarkson Labs of San Diego, CA. SBMI believes these resulted from samples taken by Delise in his 1976 field work at the Buckeye. These assays returned spectacularly high values for gold, silver and copper. The highest value for gold was 4.8 opt, for silver was 8,970 opt, and for copper was 30.7%.

This information is historical in nature and pre-dates NI43-101. SBMI does not know the methods by which such work was carried out, or whether all or part of it was under the supervision of a Qualified Person, as that term is defined in NI43-101. SBMI refers to such data and observations to inform its knowledge of the area.

"This is a significant accomplishment", said, VP Mining, Ron Murphy. "We have completed the rehabilitation of the underground and have commenced mining as we blast into what we believe to be Delise's documented high-grade zone. The training, experience and talent of our seasoned mining crew has allowed us to achieve these goals in a short period of time."
