Vancouver, B.C. …..MAG Silver Corp. (TSXV: MAG) announces that high-grade silver mineralization has been intersected in initial drilling at its 100% owned Batopilas Silver Project in Chihuahua State, Mexico. Hole 02 intersected 1.70 meters (5.6 feet) of 2,358 grams per tonne silver (75.8 ounces per ton). The intersection is part of a 3.0 meter (9.8feet) zone locally rich in the silver bearing mineral acanthite (argentite).

“These are the first surface holes ever drilled in the district and according to old reports, this style of high-grade acanthite-rich mineralization was found above the native silver rich ore shoots that yielded the bulk of Batopilas’ historic silver production of over 250 million ounces” stated Dan MacInnis, President and CEO of MAG Silver. “We’re targeting a combination of structural studies and electrical geophysical anomalies in areas previously not mined. The fact that we’re hitting high-grade mineralization so quickly validates this approach. We are very excited about the potential for applying our techniques to the balance of the nearly 4000 hectares we control in the district. We look forward to drilling below and along strike of hole 02, once we resume drilling in mid January”.

A second intercept, with visible native silver was intersected approximately 22 meters (72’) deeper and assayed 132 g/t silver (4.2 oz./t) over 1.70 meters (5.6 feet). This is a 3.0 meter wide breccia zone with visible native silver and lead and zinc sulphides. The richest native-silver bearing 0.20 meter of this intercept ran 721 g/T Silver (23 oz/T).

Two holes of a proposed 10 hole (2,500m) drill program have now been completed at Batopilas. Assays results for hole 01 and the balance of hole 02 are pending.

All samples are being analyzed by ALS-Chemex Laboratories by standard fire assay techniques. Because of the visible and obvious high-grade silver mineralization in these two intercepts, one high grade sample from each zone was assayed by special procedures typically used for metallurgical concentrates. This includes three one assay tonne fire assays with gravimetric finish. From hole 02 the best visually mineralized 0.20m in the upper intercept carried 19,119 grams per tonne Silver (615 ounces per tonne). The best visually mineralized 0.20m in the lower intercept assayed 721.5 grams per tonne Silver (23.2 ounces per tonne). Values above and below these intercepts contained silver values from 65 g/t to 137 g/t silver and are included in the weighted averages reported.

Dr. Megaw has a Ph.D. in geology and more than 20 years of relevant experience focussed on silver and gold mineralization, and exploration and drilling in Mexico. He is a certified Professional Geologist (CPG 10227) by the American Institute of Professional Geologists and an Arizona Registered geologist (ARG 21613). Dr. Megaw is not independent as he is a shareholder of MAG Silver Corporation and is a vendor of two projects, other than Batopilas, whereby he may receive additional shares.

QA/QC Procedures: The Company has implemented a quality control program to ensure best practices in sampling and analysis of the core samples. Duplicates and blanks are inserted randomly into the sample stream. The samples are shipped directly in security sealed bags to ALS-Chemex Laboratories preparation facility in Hermosillo, Sonora (Certification ISO 9001). Sample pulps are shipped from there to ALS-Chemex Laboratories in North Vancouver, Canada for analysis by standard fire assay techniques. Pulp splits have been submitted to ACME Analytical Labs for verification check assays.
