  Minco Silver Corporation (the "Company" or "Minco Silver") (TSX: MSV) is pleased to provide the following updates on the permitting for its Fuwan Silver Project.

The Geological Hazard Assessment for the project was approved by the Department of Land and Resources of Guangdong Province.

The regulatory Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA") has been completed and submitted to the Department of Environmental Protection of Guangdong Province. A technical panel consisting of eight experts appointed by the Department was established.
