Potential New Gold Systems at Taylor Silver Project

HAYDEN, ID - Silver Predator Corp. reported results from the 2012 detailed mapping and soil sampling program near the Company's Taylor silver project, located in White Pine County, Nevada. The 1,166 sample soil program followed an extensive six months of mapping to produce soil results that include 1.7 g/t gold and 58.0 g/t silver. This integrated field program identified key geologic features including anomalous gold, silver, antimony, arsenic and mercury pathfinder suite elements consistent with other gold dominant Carlin type sediment hosted deposits in Nevada. New gold and gold-silver target areas were identified at South Taylor, Crescent and Enterprise, with the Enterprise target area exhibiting the largest areal extent found to date. A drill plan is currently being developed to evaluate near surface and deeper underground targets at these prospects.

The early 2012 field season was devoted to exploration drilling and mapping in the resource and historic mine areas of the Taylor property. By mid-summer mapping progressed outside of the resource area with the goal of identifying prospective new gold-silver targets. The Taylor silver mines and resource area has all the classic geologic features associated with NevadaΓs sediment hosted gold systems. Besides a dominant gold signature, these Carlin style deposits are commonly enriched in related pathfinder elements such as antimony, arsenic, and mercury.

To the east and north of the resource and mine area, historic surface rock and soil sampling for gold by previous operators outlined target areas in the Antimony Pit and Chipps areas that were later drill tested. This drilling, mostly in the relatively unfavorable host rocks of the Pilot Formation, succeeded in producing multiple gold intercepts that were never followed up. These programs demonstrated that at least locally, gold systems are present on the property. In addition, the presence of a series of small historic antimony mines and prospects, mostly along what is referred to as the Antimony Trend, provides a strong indicator for adjacent and deeper precious metal potential as in other Nevada sediment hosted systems.

Starting in the resource area of the property, where historic underground and open pit mining for silver exposed abundant rock faces, the Company started detailed geologic mapping in April with the goal of defining the geologic controls to mineralization. This interpretation is currently being used to complete the geologic model for a new resource estimate at Taylor planned for completion in the first quarter of 2013. Of primary importance, north-south and northwest-oriented fault zones were important mineral controls, along with the margins of felsic intrusives and silty carbonate host rocks. The best silver grades were found where these features converged and jasperoidal alteration is present. This combination of geologic controls is also found in the northern Carlin trend and in other sediment hosted gold systems in Nevada. Using this information, extensive additional mapping was conducted to the southeast, where the highly favorable host rocks of the upper Guilmette Formation are buried and could have the potential for undiscovered precious metal deposits.

The detailed mapping to the east and south of the resource area found that the same key faults, intrusive bodies, jasperoidal silica and host rocks are present and outline several substantial target areas. To determine whether sediment hosted precious metal targets might exist in the mapped areas, an extensive 1,166 sample soil grid was completed, initially on lines 300 feet apart with 100 foot sample spacing. The soil grids were later tightened to 100 by 100 foot and 50 by 50 foot grids locally. Additional soil sampling remains to be done, but the current results outline new gold and gold-silver target areas in the Enterprise, Crescent and South Taylor areas as shown on the maps. The presence of highly anomalous gold, silver, antimony, arsenic and mercury in the soil results confirm that Taylor is a newly recognized Carlin-type precious metals system with a significant gold-enriched component to the district.

Soil gold and silver values and their distributions indicate that several silty carbonate units are present in these newly delineated areas that could provide for near surface and underground exploration potential. The results include: Five samples assaying over 1 g/t gold (Au), including values of 1.3, 1.5 and 1.7 g/t Au; 126 samples (11%) assaying greater than 0.2 g/t Au; 224 samples (19%) assaying greater than 0.1 g/t Au; and The 1.3 g/t soil sample was located approximately 15 feet from a small outcrop of Pilot Shale that was weakly silica altered, but assayed 5 g/t Au and 12 g/t Ag; the only rock sample taken in this program.

The silver results were also robust, with values that include: 17 samples assaying over 5 g/t silver (Ag), including highs of 22.5 and 58.0 g/t Ag; and 23 % of the samples assay over 1 g/t Ag.

The soil grids will be infilled and expanded in slightly in several areas 2013 work program once the snow clears in the spring. Strongly mineralized areas will also be rock sampled where possible with the goal of identifying structural controls and host rocks. The only rock sample taken in the 2012 program was in a shale/mudstone of the Pilot Fm that on close inspection has narrow silica veinlets running through it. The small outcrop did not appear to be significantly mineralized at first, but the high gold value in the nearby soil sample prompted a closer inspection and subsequent chip sample. Identifying a 5 g/t gold sample at surface in an un-prospected outcrop underscores the upside exploration potential, and supports the need for follow-up mapping, and rock sampling.
