Silver Predator Commences Taylor Project Drill Program

VANCOUVER, April 5 /CNW/ - Silver Predator Corp. (TSX:SPD) ("Silver Predator" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced at its Taylor Project, located in White Pine County, Nevada. The Taylor Property includes a National Instrument ("NI") 43-101 compliant resource of 14.9 million ounces silver from measured and indicated mineral resources of 5.84 million tonnes grading 79.2 g/t silver and 1.9 million ounces silver from an inferred mineral resource of 687,000 tonnes grading 87.1 g/t silver (using a 41.1 g/t silver cutoff grade: Hester, 2009). The 2011 Taylor Project drill program is planned to include at least 31 reverse circulation angle holes totaling over 2,900 m.

The drilling will focus on the higher grade feeder veins as identified in Golden Predator Corp.'s 2009 program which included 13.7 m of 147.9 g/t silver from a depth of 39.6 m in hole GPT006 and 16.8 m of 196.8 g/t silver from a depth of 7.6 m in hole GPT008.(1) The 2009 drilling confirmed the extension of the higher grade veins mined in the Argus Mine, at the south end of the open pit deposit, with steeply dipping feeder structures traversing more than 900 m along the eastern edge of the known open pit resource. The current program is planned to test more than 600 m along the strike of this higher grade feeder zone. The majority of the current resource has been modeled using vertical holes into the stratabound replacement mineralization and did not consider the higher grade feeder structures that are the subject of the current drill program.


The Taylor Project

Silver Predator has an option to acquire a 100% interest in 261 unpatented mining claims and 4 patented mining claims located near Ely, Nevada in White Pine County, known as the Taylor Property and a 50% interest in the Taylor Mill Facility (for details please refer to the Company's news release dated March 14, 2011).

The Taylor silver deposit is an epithermal, high-silica, low-sulphide replacement deposit hosted by folded and faulted Devonian carbonate rocks of the Pilot Shale, Guilamette, and Joana formations intruded by Tertiary rhyolite dikes and sills. The Taylor Mill Facility comprises five mill site claims and a 1,200-tonne-per-day mill complex including primary, secondary and tertiary crushers, eight ball mills, a leaching and counter-current decant thickening circuit, a flotation circuit, a maintenance shop, an assay office, an electrical substation and a mine office.
