Marketwired Canada
Huldra Silver Inc. (TSX VENTURE:HDA) (the "Company" or "Huldra Silver") is
pleased to announce assay results from a new mineralized zone and completion of
a 17 hole drill program. The samples were taken on September 12, 2010 by
independent QP Erik Ostensoe, P.Geo and were highlighted by a 2920g/t chip
sample over a width of 30.5cm. The new zone was discovered using mechanized
trenching following up on results from a historical soil sampling program. All
samples were analyzed at the Eco Tech Laboratory in Kamloops, B.C., a full
service, ISO 9001:2008 accredited analytical laboratory. All lab quality control
protocols were observed. Complete results are presented in the following: (note
that "g/t" represents "grams per metric tonne" and that 34.286 grams equals one
troy ounce per short ton, "st" ):
East Zone Extension
The following chip sample results were from trenches beginning 190m east of
where a 15 hole drill program was completed (results are pending) after previous
chip samples yielded results up to 6650g/t Ag. Prior to receiving the lab
results management decided to drill 2 additional shallow holes in the vicinity
of sample WP 016 in an effort to test the new structure below surface and
beneath the oxidization.

The surface expression of this structure was traced another 50m further east
before the overburden became too deep to follow the structure any further. These
results are very encouraging due to the anticipated strike length of the
structure and the positive lab results despite the weathering and oxidization of
the vein. There are existing roads and access points that will allow for drill
access over a 400m length on this structure. Making a new discovery of this size
demonstrates to us the exploration potential on the historic 7000 acre Treasure
Mountain Property, 100% owned by Huldra Silver Inc.
The samples from the East Zone Extension begin approximately 1000 metres east of
the Main Mine area where a NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate in 2009
reported a total vein indicated resource, using a 10oz/t Ag cut-off, of 33,000
tonnes grading 26.68oz/tonne Ag, 4.16%Pb, and 3.8% Zn and a total vein inferred
resource, using a 10oz/t Ag cut-off, of 120,000 tonnes grading 29.76oz/tonne Ag,
2.79%Pb, and 4.36% Zn. 2750 metres of underground development has been completed
on four levels in the main mine area.
Details of the Company's property can be found in its 43-101 Technical Report
filed on Sedar on July 21, 2009.
Technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by
Erik Ostensoe, P. Geo., the Company's independent Qualified Person as defined by
NI 43-101. Huldra Silver is currently working on plans to put the Treasure
Mountain Project, located 3 hours east of Vancouver, BC, into development
subject to permitting and financing. The Company is also actively assessing
other opportunities for acquisition and development.
