Shoshone Silver Expands Lakeview District Holding
December 12, 2007 -- Shoshone Silver Mining is pleased to announce that it has added 180 acres of new claims to its Lakeview District holdings. Shoshone now controls over 1100 acres in the District, which includes the Conjecture, Idaho Lakeview, Weber and Keep Cool Mines. The Lakeview District, located in Bonner County, Idaho approximately 35 miles north of the Silver Valley, hosts a geology and mineralization similar to that found in the Silver Valley.
The new claims are adjacent to Shoshone’s Conjecture Mine on a northeast extension of the Conjecture shear known as the Silver Leaf. Historic assay results obtained from Sunshine Mining and Refining Company, a prior operator of the Conjecture Mine, indicate that some of the highest silver values at the Conjecture site were found in this region.
Current and Future Lakeview Operations
Shoshone reopened its Lakeview Mill in September when it began processing previously mined and stockpiled ore. Upgrades to the building housing the mill are ongoing and will continue throughout the winter. Shoshone expects to begin limited production from its Weber Mine in spring, 2008. Concurrent with mining at the Weber, Shoshone plans to conduct a cohesive exploration program in the Lakeview District
