Update
Wallace, ID –
October 7th, 2008 –
Shoshone Silver Mining Company (OTCBB: SHSH) is pleased with its progress at
the Company's Lakeview Mining District, located approximately 35 miles north of
the famed Silver Valley Mining District.
CORE DRILLING PROGRAM COMMENCES
Shoshone commenced an initial
core drilling program on its Lakeview properties on September 27, 2008. A
drilling crew has been on site 24 hours per day for 7 days thus far and is expected
to be onsite until the end of the week. Several drill sites have been
identified by Shoshone geologist, Rene Von Boeck and drilling is expected to
continue throughout October. Results
of the current round of drilling will be released when they become available in
a subsequent press release.
PROCESSING ORE AT THE LAKEVIEW MILL
Shoshone's Lakeview Mill
generated concentrates from stockpiled ore this summer using its one hundred ton
a day ball mill and floatation cells as well as a new set of zinc cells. Work has commenced on bringing an
additional 250 ton a day ball mill on line, and additional floatation cells
will be added when needed.
Shoshone President, Lex Smith
stated, ÒThe Lakeview Mill renovation project is critical in our growth plan
for the Lakeview District as we make expect to make the transition from an
exploration company to a production company. We have always felt a centrally
located milling facility was a necessity, allowing us to capitalize on our
complex land package in the district.Ó Smith went on to say ÒWe are confident that
historical past production reports from the 7 mines encompassed by Lakeview
District holdings show great promise for the area, and we are working to have
additional, current drilling data to analyze."
