Investor Relations: (817) 726-7360 evolve into a much more significant mining company. Given the success SilverCrest has already demonstrated, the plan seems achievable. Part of the optimism comes from the strong working capital position of about $49 million that the company has built up. This will enable the property purchase payments, a budget of $6 million to continue with exploration work at Santa Elena and La Joya, plus the funding of the plant and mine expansion work currently underway. SilverCrest has issued guidance for 2013 targeting production of nearly 2.5 million silver equivalent ounces from Santa Elena, and as expansion plans ramp up in 2014, output is planned to increase beyond 3.5 million silver equivalent ounces. When the new mill has been completed recovery efficiency is expected to climb to 92% for gold and 70% for the silver processed, which will furnish a large part of the increase in total production. However, studies are underway to increase the resources at both projects, and over 145 more drill holes have been completed since 2012 at Santa Elena alone. Like most of the junior mining companies operating in Mexico, SilverCrest has committed to maintain an excellent relationship with the local community as part of its growth plan. The company is the largest employer in its operating area at Santa Elena, with more than 500 people working at the project including contractors. In addition to providing good jobs, SilverCrest participates in community activities including assisting with medical facilities, community infrastructure, support with trades training and local sports teams. The last couple of years have been difficult for the entire mining sector. Those companies that have been able to demonstrate strong project economics and the potential for rapid growth should find themselves in the driver seat once the market transitions to a more bullish posture. SilverCrest Mines has demonstrated that it can conservatively manage its financial resources while aggressively building its mineral resources, and that is a very good indication for the future success of this company. n JUNE 2013 Drilling focused in areas of low risk, low cost, and high return with maximum reserve upside.
