Precious Metals Company Netco Silver Announces the Discovery of Two New Mineralized Vein Systems at the Toruel Project

31/05/2012 2:30pm

Marketwired Canada


Netco Silver Inc. (TSX VENTURE:NEI) ("Netco" or the "Company") is pleased to
announce the following update on its prospecting, trenching and sampling program
at the Toruel Property, Rio Negro Province, Argentina. The Toruel Property is
located approximately 23 kilometres southeast of the town of Los Menucos and
approximately 100 kilometres from Pan American Silver's Navidad project, one of
the world's largest undeveloped silver deposits.


Multiple vein structures have been identified on the Toruel Property to date,
with approximately 50 percent of the property having been properly explored and
mapped. Recent prospecting and sampling has identified two additional vein
structures, the "El Cumpa" vein and the "Capo" vein.

The El Cumpa vein was discovered 2,500 metres east of the Toruel vein where past
drilling had intersected 6.7 metres of almost 2 kilograms silver and 5.34%
copper (See Marifil news release of November 28, 2005). This new vein outcrops
in a semi-continuous manner for approximately 1,100 metres, with a surface
expression width of 1 metre.


The El Cumpa vein is genetically similar to the known Toruel vein system and is
composed of multi-phased silica events. The mineralizing environment consists of
hydrothermal replacement breccias and numerous drusy (and, to a lesser extent,
chalcedonic) silica veinlets that present a colloform texture. The breccia
fragments correspond to crystal tuff partially replaced by silica. The breccias
show the traditional cockscomb or cockade textures typical of epithermal
mineralized systems. Towards the eastern end of the vein, there is scarce
fluorite veinlets associated with the structure. These veinlets suggest a
position in the upper portion of the mineralizing system.


The Capo vein lies approximately 250 metres to the north of the El Cumpa vein.
This new vein outcrops in a semi-continuous manner for approximately 950 metres,
with a surface expression width of approximately 1 metre.


To date, trenches have been opened across both mineralized structures and rock
samples (including the corresponding quality control samples) were collected.
The resulting samples have been sent to ACME Labs for analysis.


These results continue to support the geological model, which indicates that the
Toruel vein is at a lower level of an epithermal system, with tectonically
down-thrown blocks to the east and west. Up-thrown blocks have been exposed to a
deeper level of erosion whereas downthrown blocks have not. The consequence of
this is that many of the lower level anomalies discovered quite likely represent
surface expressions of buried epithermal mineralization. Prospecting and mapping
efforts are ongoing to tie the complete geological picture together, including
identifying the intrusive source for the Ag and Au mineralized systems.


As part of these efforts, a selection of the historic diamond drill core from
the Toruel vein is scheduled to be resampled and analyzed for silver (Ag) and
gold (Au), and also for indium (In) and gallium (Ga), both important metals for
the high tech electronics sector.


Dr. Michael Hitch, P. Geo., P. Eng., VP of Exploration for the Company, states,
"Our objective has been to execute a more systematic examination of the entire
land package and to prioritize mineralized vein occurrences for eventual testing
in the third dimension and diamond drilling. Historically, efforts have focused
on the Toruel vein set itself, with little attention being paid to discovering
additional and possibly better zones elsewhere on the property. The veins
themselves are important targets and accumulate tonnage quickly. The prize that
remains to be won is the mineralizing intrusive body."


All samples and standards were submitted to ACME Labs, Santiago, Chile, an ISO
17025 accredited analytical laboratory, for preparation and analysis. Sample
preparation used procedure D60, R200-500, with digestion and analysis using
method IEX, and precious metal determination by method G6-50.


Netco is a publicly traded exploration company focused on the discovery and
development of high-value precious metals deposits in the Americas. The Company
holds an option to acquire up to 75% of the Toruel property.


The Company's disclosure of a technical or scientific nature contained in this
press release has been reviewed and approved by Andrew Gourlay, P. Geo.,
President and a director of the Company, who is a qualified person as defined in
NI 43-101. For additional technical information about the Toruel property, see
the Company's technical report on the Toruel property, available on SEDAR at
www.sedar.com, entitled "Toruel Project, Rio Negro Province - Argentina", dated
effective November 21, 2011, and authored by James F. Ebisch, MSc. The results
disclosed in this press release do not represent conclusive evidence of the
likelihood of the occurrence of a mineral deposit on the Toruel property.

This press release contains projections and forward-looking information that
involve various risks and uncertainties regarding future events related to the
Company's proposed exploration plans with respect to the Toruel Property,

statements regarding the potential for mineralization on the Toruel Property.
Such forward-looking information can include statements based on current
expectations involving a number of risks and uncertainties and are not
guarantees of future performance of the Company, such as the Company's ability
to finance its planned exploration; the failure of the actual mineralization to
meet the Company's expectations; the Company's ability to source the necessary
infrastructure to effect its exploration plans; current economic conditions and
the state of mineral exploration; and mineral prices in general. These risks and
uncertainties could cause actual results and the Company's plans and objectives
to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking information.
The Company can offer no assurance that its exploration and development plans
will be completed in the time expected or at all. These and all subsequent
written and oral forward-looking information are based on estimates and opinions
