Canadian Silver Hunter Stakes Additional Ground for Keeley Frontier Project and Provides Update on Drilling

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire - March 13, 2012) - Canadian Silver Hunter Inc. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:AGH) is pleased to announce that it has staked an additional 7 claim blocks, for a total of 79 claim units comprising just under 1300 hectares, adjacent to the Company's existing Keeley Frontier property. The new claims cover the extensions of known silver-bearing fault structures, as well as the down-dip extension of the Silver Centre Nipissing diabase basin. High grade silver mineralization at the Keeley Frontier mine is controlled by dilational features within fault structures that intersect both the top and bottom contacts of the Silver Centre Nipissing diabase sill. The Company has begun to use a variety of surface and borehole geophysical methods, along with geochemistry and 3D structural analysis to explore known silver bearing structures and locate new structures proximal to the Nipissing diabase sill on the current Keeley Frontier mine property. Adding the new claims will provide additional target areas along fault/sill contacts at depth, and in some cases close to surface.

Canadian Silver Hunter also reports that it has completed an initial 6 hole diamond drill program totaling 2058 metres, on its Keeley Frontier project. Approximately 550 samples have been split and sent for aqua regia digestion and multi-element (including Ag, Co, Ni, Bi, Sb) analysis (ICP-OES finish) at AGAT Laboratories Ltd. in Mississauga, Ontario. The drill program was carried out under contract by Laframboise Drilling Inc. of Earlton Ontario and supervised by David R. Jamieson P.Geo and Dean R. Cutting P.Geo. Initial assay results are now being received and a news release summarizing these results will be made available after assays from the first several holes are complete.

AGAT is a fully accredited laboratory and conforms with the requirements of CAN-P-4E (ISO/IEC 17025:2005) and CAN-P-1579 by the Standards Council of Canada. AGAT Laboratories provides delivery of split core samples from the Canadian Silver Hunter core shack in North Cobalt, to the preparation lab in Sudbury, Ontario. QA/QC programs include the use of standard and blank samples inserted into the assay stream every 25 samples in addition to the lab's internal QA/QC programs. Samples assaying greater than 100 g/t Ag are fire assayed with a gravimetric finish.
