Silver Mountain Mines Inc. Commences Trading on the Canadian National Stock Exchange

CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwire - June 29, 2011) - Silver Mountain Mines Inc. (CNSX:SMM) ("Silver Mountain" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, further to the approval on June 22, 2011 of the listing of the Corporation's common shares on the Canadian National Stock Exchange ("CNSX"), its common shares will begin trading today under the symbol SMM.

Silver Mountain began investigating the mineralization and grade extension of the Ptarmigan basin in SE British Columbia through sampling, trenching and scope drilling the area. In 2009-2010, assays received from Acme Labs showed significant potential. The results from these samples indicate that the precious metals-enriched system located south of the Ptarmigan deposit may be expanded and remains open at surface and at depth in several directions. The samples showed encouraging results with an average grade of 1.9 g/t gold and 640 g/t silver over 6 meters. These precious and base metal-rich intercepts have continued throughout the property.

"Trading of Silver Mountain's shares on the CNSX is an important step in the Company's development," stated Mr. Steve Konopelky, Silver Mountain's President & CEO. "Our listing will enable us to broaden the understanding of our property's development potential and increase the profile of the Company with the aim of increasing our asset value, facilitating additional investment and providing our investors with liquidity for their investment through the listing on the CNSX".

The Company's goal for 2011 will be to work towards determining the size/potential of the Ptarmigan-Iron Cap Basin and to continue to explore and carry out work on the new discoveries, North Ridge and Hidden Veins to the north, an area of gossans and highly siliceous outcrops, were found over a 25m strike length indicating a potential vein system where sulphides are completely leached out but the rock retains high silver (300 - 600 g/t) and gold (1.4 - 1.8 g/t). The Company anticipates initiating an estimated 5,000 meter drill program in mid to late August of 2011 to further define the property.

Assay results mentioned above are taken from the 2010 43-101 report, written by Rick Walker, Professional Geologist in the Province of British Columbia and the Qualified Person for the 43-101 Report.
