SNS Silver Corporation ("SNS" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SNS) is pleased to
provide an update of the progress on its Emerald Lake Gold Project where
drilling has been in process for the past three months.


The current drill program started in late December and to date more than 6,000
meters of core have been drilled in 30 holes. The first phase of this program
has been geared towards extending the mineralized zone to the east of the
existing mine workings, but some of the holes were drilled to test geophysical
targets.


Most of the core has been split and sent for assay, but some of that work is
still in process on the most recently drilled core. Assay results are continuing
to come in, but to date we do not have complete results on a sufficient number
of the holes to release them.


Many of the holes intercepted intervals at the contact between the banded iron
formation and the northern layer of volcanic rocks, where the gold
mineralization at the Golden Rose is typically found. The longest of these
intercepts cut to date is in hole GR09-25, which cut 218 feet of the banded iron
formation that was almost completely altered and replaced by multiple stages of
quartz and pyrite (see website for photos www.snssilver.com). This intercept is
on-strike and down plunge of the main ore shoot that was mined in the Golden
Rose mine and could extend the mineralization 250 meters to the east, and to at
least 75 metres below the lowest level in the mine. Two offset holes are
currently being drilled to follow up this intercept.


SNS expects to have all of the assays results in and reviewed by the company's
geological team prior to releasing those results to the market, so that the
company can have a full understanding of the work program completed and best
present that message to shareholders and investors. This process will also
provide the basis for targeting holes in phase two of the drilling program at
Emerald Lake.


Stephen G. Mlot, P.Eng, has been acting as "Qualified Person" as defined by
National Instrument 43-101 for SNS on the Golden Rose Project and has reviewed

Historic Data on the Emerald Lake Project

Historical data on the Emerald Lake project, much of it derived from the records
of Noramco Mining Corp., indicate that in 1986, the property is reported to have
hosted a global geological resource of 617,000 ounces gold, contained within 2.4
million tonnes (grading 0.26 ounce per ton). The resource is considered
historical in nature and as such is based on prior data and reports prepared by
previous operators, not defined as required by NI 43-101. The work necessary to
reclassify the resource has not been completed and the resource estimates
therefore, cannot be treated as NI 43-101-defined resources verified by a
qualified person. This resource should not be relied upon, and there can be no
assurance that any of the resources, in whole or in part, will ever become
economically viable.


The deepest intercept recorded on the property cut 84 feet of 14 grams per tonne
gold below 1,000 feet vertically, with many other high-grade drill intersections
(0.25 ounce to 0.35 ounce per ton) located between the 600-foot elevation and
the lowest elevation level at 1,000 feet.


The property is developed by five levels off of a vertical shaft to 750 feet,
and two levels off of an inclined winze to 1,000 feet. All of the past
production took place above 700 foot elevation. Ramp development reaches to
about 800 feet vertically providing good access to evaluate the high-grade
areas.


Only a 1,600-foot length of a four-mile structure has been extensively explored,
and with high-grade known below the 1,000-foot level at the east end of the
developed areas.


The strategic plan moving forward will be to confirm, delineate and expand the
mineral resource by initiating a surface drill program followed by dewatering
and rehabilitation of the existing ramp that will allow for underground
drilling. SNS will then commence an extensive program to test the unexplored
targets of the Emerald Lake property.


We Seek Safe Harbor

SNS Silver Corporation (TSX VENTURE:SNS) is an exploration mining company, whose
assets include a number of near term production projects in geopolitically
secure Idaho, USA. The 100% owned Crescent Mine consists of 24 patented mining
claims over approximately 350 acres. These adjacent properties operated
independently to produce nearly 400 million ozs of silver historically and their
recent merger is expected to enhance exploration opportunities on their once
disputed boundary.
