Canadian Silver Hunter Announces Acquisition of Veinlode Claims

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Feb 19, 2014) - Canadian Silver Hunter Inc. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:AGH) is pleased to announce that it has acquired a 100% interest in 26 patented mineral claims in South Lorrain, Ontario (the "Veinlode Claims") adjacent to the Company's flagship South Lorrain Project. The claims were purchased from Veinlode Silver Mines Ltd. ("Veinlode"), a private company.

Under the terms of an asset purchase agreement dated February 19, 2014, between the Company and Veinlode (the "Agreement"), the Company acquired all of the Veinlode Claims from Veinlode. The consideration for this acquisition consisted of the issuance of 40,000 common shares of the Company to Veinlode. The transaction was approved by Veinlode's shareholders at a meeting held on April 26, 2013.

The Company holds a one-third equity interest in Veinlode, acquired pursuant to a share purchase transaction which closed on November 20, 2012, as announced in a press release issued by the Company on the same date. Jeffrey Hunter, President and Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, serves as President and a director of Veinlode. In addition, Audrey Lee, Mr. Hunter's spouse, also serves as a director of Veinlode. As such, the purchase of the Veinlode Claims is a "related party transaction" for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company is relying on an exemption from the minority approval and formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101 due to the fact that the value of the Veinlode Claims does not represent greater than 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

Jeffrey Hunter, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, "Our purchase of the Veinlode Claims is a natural extension of the strategic investment we made in Veinlode. With this acquisition we are expanding our land package at the South Lorrain Project, and we are excited to explore the undeveloped potential of the Veinlode Claims."
