Fortuna Silver corrects Measured and Indicated Resource breakdown

Fortuna Silver Mines Inc. announces that its October 17, 2013 news release entitled “Fortuna Silver increases San Jose silver reserves by 22% and silver inferred resources by 39%” contains typographical errors in the table providing the detail of Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource estimates for the San Jose Mine located in Oaxaca, Mexico.

Westminster Resources Ltd – Sierra Target Discovery

The Company reports that its field crews have made a discovery on its 100% owned El Cobre property Sonora, Mexico. The new Sierra Target consists of hydrothermal breccias, with diatreme characteristics and occurs in Miocene volcanic units at an elevation of some 700 meters above, and further to the West of Westminster’s Montoso porphyry system currently being explored under option by Capstone Mining Corp. Seventeen hand samples were collected and assayed using various ore grade methods which determined an average grade of 4.8% copper, 101 g/t silver (400 g/t cutoff) and 4.4 g/t gold. The slabbed rock samples contained no obvious sulphides but were rich in barium and iron (hematite ranging from about 3% to 12% Fe). The accompanying table shows the highest contents of silver assayed 1,479 g/t (47.4 oz/t), gold 21.79 g/t (0.69 oz/t) and copper 10.2% with these values reported from 3 different samples. These breccias also appear to be rich in bismuth, mercury and tungsten and represent a new deposit type for the Company’s Sonora properties.
