| August 04, 2005 MINCO SILVER CORPORATION ACQUIRES THREE NEW LICENCES | ||
Minco Mining & Metals Corporation (TSX: MMM) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that its subsidiary. Minco Mining (China) Corporation, has been granted three exploration licenses by the Ministry of Land and Resources of China. The three exploration licences are located in the Sanzhou Basin, Guangdong Province, China. Two exploration licenses, the Luoke-Jilingang (75.55 sq.km.) and the Sanyatang (91.91 sq. km) with a total area of 167.46 sq.km, cover the major part of the Northeast-trending Fuwan Silver Belt which hosts the known gold and silver occurrences in the Sanzhou Basin, including the Company's Fuwan Silver and Changkeng Gold properties. Please refer to the Company's website for a map of the location of the licenses. Several gold-silver soil anomalies have been discovered on the two licensed areas. Major silver showings were discovered in the Luzhou and Dieping areas through the following-up of the anomalies by the 757 Exploration Team.
The Guanhuatang license consists of a total area of 37.38 sq. km located at the south margin of the Sanzhou Basin and covers several Ag-Cu-Pb-Zn occurrences. Exploration work is quite limited in this area. Minco Mining (China) acquired the above properties on behalf of Minco Silver Corporation. Minco Silver has now acquired exploration licences covering the whole Fuwan silver belt. The Company will be preparing an updated 43-101 Report for the Fuwan Silver property as well as the newly acquired areas. It is believed that the acquisitions of the above three properties will greatly enhance the Company's assets in the Sanzhou Basin.
