The silver-lead portion of the reserve estimate now represents 28 percent of the total reserve tons. Silver ounces contained in silver-lead ore increased by 87 percent, with a 79 percent increase in contained tons of lead. The total reserve tons of silver-lead material increased by 126 percent. Ounces of silver contained in the silver-copper reserve increased by 8 percent over the April 2007 reserve.

The increase in reserves is a result of an exploration and development program undertaken by U.S. Silver since acquiring ownership and operation of the Galena mine in June 2006. During 2007, management placed an increased emphasis on development and diamond drilling of the known silver-lead zones that exist at the Galena mine. Recent exploration demonstrated that the silver-lead zone may be potentially larger than originally indicated. While exploration and development of silver-copper ore continues on a par with silver-lead development, the Company expects the silver-lead resource to grow at an increased rate in the near term. The silver-lead ore is being processed at the Coeur mill while silver-copper ore continues to be processed at the Galena mill.

Reserve and resource grades are based on mine chip and diamond drilling samples. All samples are obtained and assays are reported under a formal quality assurance program.

Mark Hartmann, President and Chief Operating Officer of U.S. Silver, stated, "we are pleased with the effort our work force made during 2007 in exploring and developing new areas for production, that allowed the Company to report an increase in ore reserves, particularly for silver-lead ore. We have made significant improvements since taking over the Galena Mine complex and are excited about the many opportunities ahead of us."

Silver, who supervised the drilling and sampling programs, and resource estimation.
