Additional High Grade in New Trenches at the La Cumbre Silver/Gold Property Mexico

    




 7.82 g/t Gold and 817 g/t Silver Over 0.25m 

 BURLINGTON, ON, Oct. 18, 2011 /CNW/ - Silver Shield Resources  is pleased to announce that it has sampled additional high grade  gold and silver in the La Cumbre West Zone.  Sampling taken 22 metres  west of the shaft, in a sheared malachite stained vein returned an  average of 2.08g/t Au, 198.6g/t Ag and 0.14% Cu over a trench sample width of 1.75m and the central high grade interval ran 7.82g/t gold, 817g/t silver and 0.29% Cu over 0.25m. 

 Additional trenching in the La Cumbre East Zone, 32 metres east of the shaft, returned values of 0.455g/t Au and 250.5g/t Ag and 0.93% Cu over 1.0m. The presence of these excellent values gold and silver both east and  west of the shaft, taken in conjunction with the previously released  high grade samples 400 m. north of the shaft confirms to the company  the existence of a large system on the La Cumbre Property. 

 Company officials have been in ongoing discussions with contract miners  in Mexico to enable a mine development plan to be developed.  This  development plan will include drifting on the 50 metre level for  approximately 300 metres with development in mineralized vein material  producing ~3,000 tonnes.  Upon metallurgical testing being successful,  this mineralized material will then be trucked to an existing mill  approximately 120 km away to be processed.  The Company plans to use  this drifting to enable a targeted exploration drill program from  underground to be performed.  Surface drilling as well is being planned  at the same time in early 2012. These programs will further expand the  previous mineralized lens identified and mined in the 1980's. 

 The company remains on its focused path striving to mine and mill  mineralized material as soon as economically feasible to produce cash  flow and fund future mining and exploration internally. 

 The La Cumbre Silver-Gold Mine is a past producer situated in an area  with numerous past producers and producers, being only 65km southwest  of Farallon Resources Campo Morado Mine (VMS) and 100km west of  Goldcorps Los Filos Mine (Au).
