SilverCrest Mines Inc. (NYSE MKT: SVLC; TSX: SVL) is a
Canadian precious metals producer headquartered in Vancouver, BC. SilverCrest's flagship property
is the 100%owned Santa Elena Mine, located 150 kilometres northeast
of Hermosillo, near Banamichi in the State of Sonora, Mexico. The mine is a
highgrade, epithermal silver and gold producer, with a current
reserve estimated life of mine of 8 years and average operating
cash costs of $12 per ounce of silver
equivalent (64.5:1 Ag:Au based on ounces sold). SilverCrest
anticipates the 3,000 tonnes per day conventional mill facility at
the Santa Elena Mine should recover an average of 1.6 million
ounces of silver and 33,800 ounces of gold per annum over the
current reserve life. Exploration programs continue to result in
discoveries at Santa Elena and
have advanced the definition of a large polymetallic deposit at the
La Joya property in Durango State,
Mexico.
