Drill Turns at La Virginia Gold-Silver Project, Sonora, Mexico
Vancouver, BC. Silver Viper Minerals Corp. (the “Company” or “Silver Viper”) (TSXV: VIPR) is pleased to
announce completion of drill camp construction and the initiation of drilling at the remote La Virginia
gold-silver project, in eastern Sonora, 220 kilometres (“km”) east- northeast of Hermosillo, Sonora,
Mexico. Minor delays associated with wet season rains and heavy vehicle access to the field camp were
encountered during the construction phase.
As announced previously, Phase I drilling will be concentrated within the Rubi-Esperanza group of claims
currently under option by Silver Viper. The program will include a combination of confirmation drilling
over known mineralized trends and exploration drilling on untested targets at a ratio of approximately
25% confirmation to 75% exploration. Confirmation holes are planned in and around the historic La
Virginia and Con Virginia workings and seek to confirm previously reported widths and grades of the main
mineralized trend. These holes are designed to complement existing data, testing gaps in the previous
work and testing the main trends for continuity and grade . Exploration holes are planned for nearby
prospect areas: La Colonia, La Cascada and El Rubi. Additional prospects may be tested during Phase I as
the campaign progresses.
Silver Viper has received all environmental permits and land-owner agreements for the current
programmed work and field operations will be conducted from the recently completed field drill camp.
Silver Viper’s regional exploration effort continues to prospect and refine additional targets slated for drill
testing in the coming months.
Silver Viper’s President and CEO Ste ve Cope states , “The slow start to Phase I drilling has required
patience. We are now extremely happy to be underway. The project has great potential and we look
forward to advancing the exploration effort to include additional areas of interest in the claim areas.”
Dale Brittliffe, P.Geo., Vice President of Exploration is a ‘Qualified Person’ under National Instrument 43-

purchase up to 100,000 common shares in the capital of Silver Viper. The incentive stock options have an

of this option grant, Silver Viper has stock options outstanding that are exercisable into up to 3,940, 000
