SNS Silver Corp.

Company Website

SNS Silver Corp. SNS Silver Corporation has 100% ownership of the Crescent Mine – located in Coeur d' Alene District, Idaho’s ‘SilverValley’ which has produced over 1.1 billion ounces of silver. SNS property lies between two world class silver producers: Sunshine Mine & Bunker Hill Mine. Silver Wheaton Corporation owns 12% of SNS Silver.

The Crescent Mine is located in Big Creek canyon approximately four miles south of the Interstate 90 just east of Kellogg, Idaho in the Coeur d' Alene mining district. Mining has been carried out in the District for more than 100 years; it is the only known mining area in North America to have produced over 1 billion ounces of silver. Ore bodies in the District are unique in that they are persistent at great depths far in excess of one mile. Geologists have not uncovered any evidence to date, which suggests a limit to the depth to which ore might extend.

Adjoining the Crescent Mine land position on the east side and less than 300 yards from the Hooper Tunnel (the main access for the lower Crescent) is the world famous Sunshine Mine. One of the richest silver mines in the world; the Sunshine has produced over 328 million ounces of silver, 71,000 tons of lead, 50,000 tons of copper and 37,500 tons of antimony. Bordering the Crescent Mine property on the west is the largest tonnage producer in the district, the Bunker Hill Mine with a total output of 3,119,121 tons of lead, 161,384,305 ounces of silver and 1,311,266 tons of zinc..

Ideally situated between these world-class ore bodies is the Crescent Mine, which has produced over 28 million ounces of silver, and may have the potential produce several times the amount of past production. Gross metal value of past production at today's silver prices (US$12 per ounce) exceeds US $300,000,000.
