Nevada Silver Corporation announced that the Company's Minnesota subsidiary, North Star Manganese Inc. ("NSM") has received all necessary approvals and has commenced drilling at its Emily Manganese Project ("Emily" or the "Project"), Minnesota, USA. The Emily Project is located in the Cuyuna Iron Range of central Minnesota, USA, an area with a rich mining history and supported by well-established local infrastructure, a skilled mining workforce and abundant power and gas. The Emily Manganese Project is comprised of two blocks of private lands totaling 291 acres of mineral rights with potential access to contiguous land within a footprint exceeding 500 acres, as shown in overleaf.

The Project area has been previously drilled by Pickands Mather and US Steel in the 1950s and 1960s, and by Cooperative Mineral Resources in 2012 and 2013. The resource estimate includes drilling results from seven (7) diamond core drill holes completed during two separate drilling programs (2011 and 2012), these holes are located within the red circled area. Planned Drilling Program: Twenty-seven diamond core verification drill holes are planned.

The program is intended to confirm Mn-Fe mineralized drill intersections reported by other companies2 within the Emily Project area and to extend the area of known mineralization. Historical reported drill intersections within the planned program include: PM 303 (22.9m @ 21.34% Mn) including (10.7m @ 29.83% Mn); USS 18709 (114.3m @ 19.74% Mn) including (24.4m @ 35.11% Mn) and (15.2m @43.16% Mn); USS 18712 (65.5m @ 17.96% Mn) including (19.8m @ 35.34% Mn); CMR AC-02-11 (10.2m @ 29.84% Mn); CMR VC-01-11 (32.0m @ 17.71% Mn) including (15.8m @ 25.77% Mn) and (9.0m @34.59% Mn). Timberline Drilling Inc. (Virginia, MN) has mobilized a drill rig to Emily and drilling is expected to commence this month.

Access and site preparation for 27 drill pads has been completed by Radotich Enterprises. Geologic work is being managed by Big Rock Exploration LLC (Minneapolis, MN) and environmental work is being managed by Barr Engineering Company (Minneapolis, MN).
