HILTON HEAD, S.C., Dec. 16, 2011
/PRNewswire/ -- Silver Scott Mines, Inc. (OTC: SILS.pk) is
pleased to announce the completion of a 6 year extendable surface
land agreement for exploration within the 1500 hectare mineral
concessions and mining or high impact disturbance on 20
hectares. The agreement was the completion of proposed mining
with the Divisaderos Ejido. The ejido vote was unanimous in
favor of the proposal. The prior low impact surface agreement
continues in effect. This completed agreement allows the company to
move forward with a planned production scale bulk tonnage leach
test.
This week the Mine Permit was filed requesting approval for
active mining in the Carmen gold-silver project. A production
scale test heap leach of 50,000 to 80,000 tonnes has been planned.
The necessary documents consisting of the mine plans and the
environmental study and status have been submitted to the Federal
agency, SEMARNAT (Secretaria de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales
) for review and approval. The normal length of this review
is about 2 months.
The mine site is the area previously reported in the October
news release of percussion drill results. That drilling shows
a mineralized area within which this test heap leach will focus.
This test work can begin in the first quarter of 2012
Mel Herdrick, Chief Geologist for
the company commented, "We expect to find additional favorable
results from Carmen project which will continue to expand the
mineralized zone. We can trace the mineralized zone over a
rectangular area of 100 meters width and 300 meters length and
expect that this mineralization can be more fully defined. Our
goal, in line with our overall corporate strategy, is to explore,
define, and initiate production of gold and silver by heap leach
mine processing and continue to expand with operation."
