Silver Stream Mining Corp. (the "Company" or "Silver Stream") announced today the Company has filed on Sedar.com, at the request of the British Columbia Securities Commission ("BCSC"), an amended NI 43-101 Technical Report ("Report") on its Metates Mine Property ("Metates Property") located in the Mexican State of Sinaloa, approximately 110 kilometers northeast of the city of Mazatlan.
The amended Report states that no mineral reserves or resources have been defined at the Metates Property that comply with standards set forth in NI 43-101. Silver Stream has withdrawn any previous claims that a resource exists on the Metates Property.
The Report concludes:
- The geological setting and mineralization are strongly analogous to those at several other properties in the western Sierra Madre of Mexico.
- The Metates vein system is clearly of the epithermal type and has the potential to contain supergene enriched mineralization below the current workings or along strike and perhaps below other old workings on the concessions.
- Drilling the projected down-dip extensions of the mined-out mineralized zones will be necessary to determine if such mineralization is present.
- Prior to any drilling it will be necessary to review and compile all the available underground mapping data to obtain a clearer view of mineralization at the Metates Property and in the surrounding area.
- Other old workings on the property should also be investigated, to the extent practical.
- At the current level of knowledge, undeveloped sulfide mineralization that may be present below the existing workings at the Metates Property appears to be the best exploration target, but that may be because very little is known about the other old workings.
- The nature of further work on the property will be contingent on the results of preliminary exploratory work.
The technical portion of this press release was reviewed and approved by Douglas Wood, P. Geo, a Qualified Person in accordance with the Canadian regulatory requirements as set out within National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Wood is a member of Silver Stream's Technical Advisory Team.
