United Silver Corp. Advises of Changes to Its Website
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire - Sept. 20, 2011) - United Silver Corp. (the "Company") (TSX:USC) (OTCQX:USCZF) (FRANKFURT:UM8) advises that, as a result of a review by the British Columbia Securities Commission ("BCSC"), it has removed from its website investor presentations dated August 22, 2011 (the "August Presentation") and September 2011 (the "September Presentation" and collectively, with the August Presentation, the "Investor Presentations"). After a review of the comments received from the BCSC, management of the Company agreed that certain disclosures included in the Investor Presentations were out-of-date, incomplete or otherwise not in compliance with certain of the requirements of National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). Investors are cautioned that they should not rely on the technical information contained in the Investor Presentations.
With respect to the August Presentation, the BCSC expressed concern that the Company may have included the results of an economic analysis on the Crescent Silver deposit which was not supported by an NI 43-101 compliant technical report. The August Presentation has been removed from the Company's website and any future written disclosure will not include any reference to production figures and costs unless based on a completed NI 43-101 compliant technical report. The disclosure of concern in the August Presentation was based on initial preliminary in-house estimates that were no longer current at the time of their disclosure. The Company does not plan to enter commercial production in 2012. The Company currently plans to conduct further exploration both to expand and better define and upgrade the resources at its Crescent Silver Mine project. The work will be done in phases and additional work will be dependent on the success of such initial work. Resources will require updating, and the completion of a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") is contemplated. Work to date has included exploration, exploration drifting, metallurgical work and preliminary mine planning, all of which will help form the basis of a PEA.
With respect to the September Presentation, the BCSC expressed concern that it: (i) projects the exploration targeting of a future mineral resource of up to 100 million ounces that is contrary to NI 43-101, as it is not supported by a technical report; (ii) does not include the required applicable cautionary language for an exploration target; (iii) does not disclose details of the qualified person who prepared or approved the scientific and technical information in the presentation; and (iv) does not contain sufficiently clear disclosure of the details of historical production. The September Presentation has been removed from the Company's website.
