Oregon, USA
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 15, 2018) - Bayhorse Silver Inc. (TSXV: BHS) ("Bayhorse" or
the
"Company") is pleased to report that Scandium values have been identified accompanying the
high silver assays reported in its
news release BHS2018-06, (March 6, 2018) from
the Legend, Sunshine and Big Dog
mineralized zones, Bayhorse Silver Mine,
Oregon, USA.
The Scandium was identified during the assay resubmission that identified the gold values as reported in
news release
BHS2018-06. Preliminary metallurgical results indicate that Scandium can be recovered during the processing of the silver from
the Bayhorse Silver Mine. Scandium (Sc) is a high value mineral used to produce high strength Aluminum alloys in the
Aerospace Industry and is classed as a strategic mineral in the USA. The Company has submitted additional samples for
metallurgical testing and recovery characteristics of the Scandium.

Bayhorse CEO, Graeme O'Neill comments, " While the Scandium values reported would not be considered enough to make a
Scandium mine, in the event they are economically recoverable, the Scandium is certainly a value added mineral to any silver
recovery."
The Company has established a quality control assay program at the Bayhorse Silver Mine. Production samples are split with
half placed into a pulverizer, homogenized, dried, and submitted to XRF analysis with the other half retained for comparison.
Check samples are sent for assay to a qualified lab. Mine samples reported are split, with one half retained for comparison.
Assaying for the samples reported above was undertaken by Metsolve Labs of Langley, BC. The analytical method used for the
silver analysis consisted of a 50 gram sample
subjected to
fire assay with gravimetric finish.
The Company advises it is not basing any decision to produce on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating
economic and technical viability and also advises there is increased uncertainty and specific economic and technical risks of
failure associated with any production decision.
