SVL... Canaccord raises target to 3.75...

The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday, Nov. 16, edition that Canaccord Genuity analyst Nicholas Campbell is holding firm with his "speculative buy" rating on SilverCrest Mines ($1.83). The Globe's Darcy Keith writes in the Eye On Equities column that Mr. Campbell, however, has upgraded his price target on SilverCrest Mines to $3.75 from $3.15. The analyst expects SilverCrest Mines to announce next month an initial silver resource in excess of 50 million ounces at its La Joya project in Mexico. He is basing that prediction on recent exploratory drilling and sees the deposit having the potential to ultimately develop into a 100-million-ounce-plus silver project. Canaccord Genuity analyst Wendell Zerb and Mr. Campbell said in The Globe on Jan. 26 that they expected SilverCrest Mines, among others, to provide above-average speculative returns through either exploration success or development growth this year. The stock could then be had for $1.52. They warned that markets could be volatile. They said investors looking to improve their odds and ride out the pullbacks, should buy only small caps with strong management, high-quality assets and active capital programs directed toward exploration or development.

SilverCrest Mines Inc. | Nicholas Campbell, 1.604.643.7027

SVL : TSX-V : C$1.77 | C$151.8M | Speculative Buy , Target C$3.75

• La Joya: potential to develop into a 100+ million ounce silver project;

maintain SPECULATIVE BUY but raising target to C$3.75 from C$3.15

Investment recommendation

We maintain our SPECULATIVE BUY recommendation on the shares of

Silvercrest with a target price of C$3.75, up from C$3.15.

Investment highlights

• SVL’s Phase 1 26-hole drill program is complete. An additional 51 historical

drill holes previously completed on the project have also been received. 33 of

the holes completed on the Main Mineralized Trend (MMT) have drill defined

a semi-continuous mineralized zone over 1,000 metres by 500 metres to a

vertical depth of up to 230 metres.

• An initial resource estimate is expected to be announced in December 2011.

We expect an initial silver resource in excess of 50 M ozs with gold and

copper by-products.

• The 44 historical drill holes completed outside the MMT demonstrates the

potential to expand the mineralization along strike to the north and south

with multiple parallel targets. Longer-term, we see potential for La Joya to

develop into a 100+ million ounce silver resource.

Valuation

With the potential to delineate an initial silver resource of 50 million ounces, we

ascribed a value of US$1.50 per ounce of potential resource or $75 million, up

from $10 million previously. Our peak silver price estimate of NAVPS has

increased to C$5.41, up from C$4.49. We continue to value SVL based on a 0.7x

multiple to our peak gold and silver price estimate of NAVPS (5%). SVL is trading

at 2.2x 2013E CFPS and 0.36x P/NAV (5%, spot) compared with the junior

producer average of 7.3x 2013E CFPS and 0.69x P/NAV spot. By our estimates,

the market is currently pricing in no value for the La Joya project.

Thanks for posting the Canaccord update on SVL georgoub, much appreciated. The fact that he sees the La Joya deposit having the potential to ultimately develop into a "100-million-ounce-PLUS" silver project speaks volumes for Silvercrest. I think even to the skeptics, it is obvious they've got a Tiger by the tail with La Joya. It's my understanding that they've arranged for 3 drill rigs to be operating during this next round of drill testing at La Joya. If they weren't extremely pleased and confident with prior results, I doubt they'd increase the rig count to three. They would have taken a much more measured approach. IMHO, they know they are on to something BIG and plan on proving it out as quickly as possible to increase shareholder value. Even with the recent strength in share price, SVL is still sorely undervalued, especially when compared to its peer group. There will be severe smack downs along the way but Silvercrest's valuation is heading much higher from these lowly levels. Not investment advice...just the way I see it. We all have to do our own due-dilly and invest accordingly.

Good luck to all!

Scott

SilverCrest Drills High-Grade Gold, Silver At Santa Elena

Monday, January 7, 2013 9:54 AM

SilverCrest Mines Inc. (TSXV: SLV)(NYSE MKT, AMEX: SVLC) intersected high-grade gold and silver at its Santa Elena mine, located in Sonora, Mexico. Highlights include 23.9 grams per ton gold and 307.9 g/t silver over 15.6 meters including 157.3 g/t gold and 1,610.5 g/t silver over 2.3 meters, the company says. "We have always been confident that the underground portion of the Santa Elena Main Mineralized Zone would prove to be larger and higher grade than was indicated by the initial drilling, and our drilling to date has vindicated that confidence,” says J. Scott Drever, president and chief executive officer of SilverCrest. “In an epithermal deposit such as Santa Elena, one can always expect narrow widths of high grades, but to encounter 15.6 meters grading 23.9 g/t Au (0.69 ounces per ton) and 307.9 g/t Ag (9.0 o/t) is truly remarkable.” Eighty-seven holes of a planned 100 holes have been completed to re-categorize indicated and inferred resources to probable reserves and expand current underground resources, the company says. SilverCrest is a Canadian-based precious metals producer focused in mining in Mexico.
