The Offering is subject to regulatory approval.  The proceeds of the Offering are intended to be used by the Company for payment of accrued liabilities and for working capital.  Securities issued pursuant to this private placement carry a legend restricting trading of the securities until October 27, 2015.

Exploration Update

Crews have mobilized and surface exploration is underway for the US$2 million, 2015 exploration program on the Cerro Las Minitas property which will target both known zones of mineralization and new discoveries on the property. Soil and reconnaissance sampling has now started and diamond drilling is anticipated to begin in early July.

Soil sampling in the area of the Cerro has extended sample coverage outboard of the known areas of mineralization and now covers several geophysical anomalies outlined in earlier surveys. Approximately 300 samples have been collected and submitted for analyses; assays are pending.

Southern Silver is continuing with the systematic evaluation of previously identified biogeochemical anomalies throughout the 137 square kilometre, largely gravel covered property. Initial soil sampling is completed over the Western biogeochemical anomalies and reconnaissance and further sampling is proceeding over the Eastern anomalies and in several key areas along the 25 kilometre strike-length.

Up to 10,000 metres of core drilling is planned as part of the 2015 exploration program. Drilling will start in early July with six holes initially targeting the Blind and El Sol mineralized zones. Further drilling will test for new zones of mineralization on the margins of the Central Monzonite Intrusion including the area of Mina La Bocona and the North Skarn zone and will test other geophysical and geochemical targets outboard of the Central Intrusion.
