Middlecoff Silver Vein extended to South!   Alianza Minerals reports final results from the Phase One diamond drilling program at the Company’s wholly owned Haldane Silver Project located in the historic Keno Hill Mining District of Yukon Territory. Holes HLD20-20 and HLD20-21 targeted the Middlecoff Vein. HLD20-21 intersected silver mineralization including a core length of 0.89 m averaging 342 g/t silver, 2.35% lead and 1.20% zinc (476 g/t silver-equivalent).   Alianza Minerals said in their highlights of the results from Haldane Silver Project, Keno Hill District, Yukon, 1: Middlecoff Silver Vein extended to South, 2: Additional drilling planned to south and at depth for Middlecoff & 3: Phase Two Spring Drill Program to include West Fault and Middlecoff Targets.

Canada Silver Cobalt hits New high-grade silver vein discovery  Canada Silver Cobalt Works announce the intersection of a new, additional, high-grade silver vein within 60 metres of the Robinson Zone Discovery hole CA-1108.  The Robinson Zone Project is 100-percent owned by the Company, in the 78-square-kilometre Castle Silver Mine property, in Gowganda, Ontario, Canada.   Visually, mineralization in the new vein rivals the discovery intersection of hole. The 18,000 metres drilled in the current 50,000-metre program, represents only 36 percent of this phase of drilling.  A total of 28 holes are completed, including 8 wedge holes. This new intersection is 53 metres laterally east-southeast and 25 metres vertically above the original discovery hole (CA-11-08) and further expands the potential high-grade mineralization target area.  This new, high-grade mineralized intercept is approximately 80 metres below the upper contact of the diabase sill which, in the Gowganda Camp, typically
