Torreón, Coahuila, June 1st, 2006- ECU Silver Mining inc. (TSXV:ECU)

ECU Silver Mining Inc. (the "Company") is pleased to announce further assay results from drifting on the A4 vein on level 17.5 and the San Mateo vein on level 6. The A4 vein is located in the Tres Aguilas area of the Santa Juana mine and the San Mateo vein is the main vein of the San Mateo mine. These results were compiled from sampling the veins in new drifts.

The A4 vein in the Santa Juana Mine:

The results outlined in table 1A below were obtained from 15 meters (49 ft) of drift on level 17.5 along the "A4" vein. Once again stellar grades were obtained as this section averaged 13.30 g/t Au, 599 g/t Ag, 1.50% Pb and 0.91% Zn over an average width of 1.11 meter (3.6 ft). It is worth noting that these results continue to provide further confirmation of higher grades at depth. The data collected clearly showed an increase in precious metals contents at the end of the actual drift when compared to the previous 93 meters (see Stockwatch May 25, 2006) as:

1) Gold grades have significantly increased from 8.89g/t averaged in the first 93 meters to 13.30g/t in this section, a 50 percent rise, and

2) Silver grades have significantly increased from 309 g/t averaged in the first 93 meters to 599g/t in this section, a 94 percent rise.

3) Per press release published on May 25th, 2006, 'Given that the Company has already proven that the A4 vein extends over 430 meters deeper than where this data was collected from on level 17.5, should this pattern of higher grades and greater width at depth continue, the Company feels the A4 vein alone could provide mill feed for years to come.'

Average (15m)    1.11    13.30    599     1.50  0.91


The San Mateo vein in the San Mateo mine:

The data in Table 1B below are from 80 meters (261ft) of drifting along the San Mateo vein on level 6. The information has been divided in two sections. The first 50 meters section corresponds to the vein where the host rock is a diorite and the leaching is low to medium. The second 30 meters section corresponds to the vein as it enters the contact zone and then the limestones which are the main regional host rock. Leaching in this section is medium to high.

There are two immediate changes worth nothing as the San Mateo vein enters the highly leached section in the limestones:

1) the first change observed is an increase in thickness, up to 4.2 meters when the vein actually enters the limestones; and

2) the second change observed in this 30 meters section, is the almost complete leaching of the sulfides leaving only oxide material with lower silver and lead values but with still solid gold grades.

From an exploration point of view this development at the San Mateo mine is extremely interesting and could prove to be as significant as the A4 vein already is for the Company. Given the known data already collected in this area of the mine, the Company expects to encounter similar or even better widths than the 4.2 meters without the leaching, at depth. It is common to find enriched high grade zones above the water table, and if our beliefs are proven correct, then we should experience a material improvement in grades for both precious metals and base metals at depth. We are currently still working in the San Mateo section and we will publish results as they become available.

ECU Silver Mining Confirms Extension of Green Skarn 100 Meters West of Previous Intercepts
• Latest Metallurgical testing report shows Gold recoveries above 90%;
• The mineralized green skarn has been confirmed to extend 100 meters (328 feet) laterally at higher elevations than previous intercepts.

Torreón, Coahuila, June 15th, 2006- ECU Silver Mining inc. (TSXV:ECU)

ECU Silver Mining Inc. (the "Company") is pleased to announce results from the metallurgical testing on the gold/pyrite concentrates that were carried out at the Colorado School of Mines. The report titled "Preliminary Evaluation of Pressure Oxidation followed by Cyanidation of a Pyrite Flotation Concentrate" and prepared by Dr. Patrick R. Taylor and Dr. Edgar E. Vidal, at the Kroll Institute for Extractive Metallurgy, Colorado School of Mines, contained the following:

A) "Preliminary experiments have shown that the concentrate can be oxidized in an autoclave and that the resultant solids may be subjected to cyanidation to recover the gold. Additional laboratory scale autoclave tests should be performed to further define the optimal autoclave leach conditions."

The important points to be noted from the above statement are:

1)The method process applied in this test can be used to recover the gold from the pyrite concentrates, and

2) This is a standard method used commonly in Nevada and elsewhere, and thus no new technological development has to be used or made .The implication of this is that less time and resources will be required to efficiently implement the process.

B) "A maximum of 0.93 oz of gold per tonne of concentrate was recovered by cyanidation of the as-received pyrite concentrate under the established optimum conditions."

The important points to be noted from the above statement are:

1) Tests conducted have demonstrated that the Company can recover more than 90% of the gold contained in the pyrite concentrates, a huge improvement over earlier tests, and

2) This gold recovered can be sold as a precipitate or doré bar from which the company would receive 98.5% of the total value.

The Company views these findings that confirmed gold recoveries above 90% as extremely significant. These recovery rates may be achieved from using standard pressure oxide leaching methods on our pyrite concentrates which would improve our overall gold recoveries tremendously and significantly enhance our monthly revenues. This was the first official report testing a proven metallurgical method to return such excellent results. The Company is waiting on final results from two further currently on-going testing methods before making a final decision on the best process to implement as we gear up to build our new recovery processing plant.

"The Company is pleased with the latest metallurgical findings in the report just received from the Kroll Institute for Extractive Metallurgy. It was critical that the successful preliminary results from the pressure oxide leaching tests we reported on last month were confirmed to be so efficient. It more than justifies our decision of accumulating our gold in the tailings (almost 20 000 ounces as of May 31st, 2006) until a more efficient method has been decided on. The implications for the Company from the success of this latest recovery method is that once a recovery plant is implemented, there will be a significant increase in the cash flows generated by the sale of the final product." noted Michel Roy, president and chief executive officer of ECU Silver Mining.

The Company also wishes to report that drilling continues in the Tres Aguilas sector, it is aimed at proving continuity of both the stockwork zone and the mineralized green skarn (skarn #1) below level 17.5. We are pleased to report that the green skarn has been encountered 100 meters west of the previous sections and only 40 meters below the 17.5 level, much higher than previous intercepts and closer to current workings. Samples have already been sent to the lab and we expect the results early next week.

ECU Silver Mining Inc.: Press Release
11:29 EDT Tuesday, August 08, 2006



TORREON, COAHUILA--(CCNMatthews - Aug. 8, 2006) - ECU Silver Mining inc. (TSX VENTURE:ECU) -

- A new raise in the "San Mateo" vein cut 12.42 g/t Au (0.40 oz/t) and 6,068 g/t Ag (195 oz/t) over 0.30 meter (1 foot);

- Higher assays than previously obtained for the A1, A2, A3 and A4 veins of the Santa Juana mine;

- Increase in quantity of veins and veinlets on level 18 indicates potential for bulk mining;

- New sulfide-rich intercept in the stockwork.

ECU Silver Mining Inc. (the "Company") is pleased to announce new assay results from underground development and mining in the Tres Aguilas sector of the Santa Juana mine from the A1, A2, A3, A4 and CC veins on levels 17, 17.5 and 18 as well as from the San Mateo mine.

San Mateo Vein:

Following the drifting going west on the San Mateo vein (see Stockwatch July 19, 2006), a raise is being driven to verify the vertical continuity of the vein. Initial sampling of the planned 40 meters raise, yielded 12.42 g/t Au, 6,968 g/t Ag, 0.75% Pb and 0.54% Zn over 0.30 meter. These excellent grades justify mining this sector of the San Mateo mine. Given that this is an entirely new area, the Company is extremely encouraged by these results as these excellent grades justify mining this new sector of the San Mateo mine which will only increase our future resource base.

Santa Juana Mine:

The samples in Table 1 below illustrate new information when compared to previously released data (see Stockwatch July 19, 2006). The samples from the A1, A2 and A3 veins on level 17 and the A4 vein on level 17.5 show better precious and base metals contents than what had been obtained previously.

The CC vein was cut on the new level 18 and showed good precious metals grades coupled with significant copper assays. Furthermore, level 18, which we just entered, has already shown to posses a host of thin veinlets and assays from the two that were sampled yielded extremely high silver assays with excellent copper and gold grades. There are two factors of importance conveyed by the results from these three veins:

1- The veins are getting extremely rich in precious and base metals, including copper, and

2- The presence of more veins closely spaced on this level will justify the evaluation of that sector for bulk mining by sampling the additional veinlets and the material in-between.

"The Company is delighted with the latest set of results from our veins systems given the superb grades. We cannot emphasize enough how significant a development it would be, should we able to prove with further work that this sector on level 18 could also be bulk mined. Given that we continually keep discovering new veins as we go deeper, it is becoming more and more likely that bulk mining methods will have to be used. With the Company already quite certain that a bulk tonnage operation will be required for the stockwork zone, to be able to add another area where bulk tonnage is also required will be a fantastic accomplishment for the Company at this early stage in our current exploration program. With additional drills in the process of being delivered, collecting further data to evaluate and expand our model will gain momentum" noted Michel Roy, president and chief executive officer of ECU Silver Mining.

The drilling program is on-going testing the stockwork. The visual observation of the core is displaying a marked increase in sulfides contents. Heavy mineralization was encountered in the first few meters and results are expected this week. They will be made public immediately after we receive them.

All widths are true widths. Samples were assayed at ERSA, in Torreon, Coahuila, and at SGS new facility in Durango, Durango, Mexico. Property specific quality control samples were inserted at regular intervals in the sample sequence.

Der Silberpreis hinkt dem Gold noch hinterher – noch! Wer von
der eventuell anstehenden Aufholjagd profitieren möchte, ist mit
Silberproduzenten gut aufgestellt. Dieser kleine Junior hat es
gewaltig in sich:

ECU Silver Mining sei ein Explorer, der bereits produziere, und zwar Silber, Gold, Zink und Blei. Die Produktion laufe seit April 2005 und sei seither stetig ausgebaut worden.

Die Ausweitung der Ressourcenbasis um das 18-fache auf über
400 Millionen Unzen Silberäquivalent, die Inbetriebnahme zweier
Erzmühlen mit einer Tageskapazität von 800 Tonnen und die
Aufnahme der Silber- und Goldproduktion: Das ist die
beeindruckende 4-Jahresbilanz der ECU Silver Mining. Im
Vergleich zu anderen jungen Silberproduzenten verfügt ECU
Silver über die größte Silberressource. Der Ressourcen-
Durchschnitt der Peer-Group, dazu gehören bekannte Namen
wie Orko Silver, Fortuna Silver oder First Majestic, liegt gerade
einmal bei 160 Millionen Unzen.

Mit einem Börsengewicht von 594 Millionen CAN-Dollar (Kanadische Dollar) (430 Millionen Euro) zähle der Konzern mittlerweile zu den mittelgroßen Gesellschaften.  

...werde ich mal beobachten :-) Und vielleicht mal ne kleine Position setzen  

- unter dem Titel "Wir haben uns geirrt..." macht der Investorverlag in seinen Rundum-Mails Reklame für den Oxford Club und dessen letzte Erfolgsstory mit Hecla Mining. Und dann beschreibt er als neuen Geheimtip einen aufgehenden  Stern am Silberhimmel - der eigentlich nur ECU Silver Mining sein kann (Wachstumszahlen, Silver- und Gold Reserven in Oz etc. passen haarscharf!)... Am 8. Dezember wollen sie laut ihren Aussagen den Wert in der neuesten Depesche vom Oxford Club vorstellen.
Bilanz von ECU Silver sieht ganz passabel aus. Und wenn die USA weiterhin ihre Wirtschaft so inflationieren und die Staatsquote erhöhen, sollte bald ein netter Kursanstieg bevorstehen. Let's see, diggers!
Glück auf!
Grendel  

OC sieht den Kurs bei 2,30 - 4,80 CAD auf Sicht von 2 - 3 Jahren!  

meiner meinung nach aber selbstverständlich wen man eine aktie die man in seinem depot hat hochpuschen will.Ich finde die aktie auch nicht schlecht aber auf aktuellem kurs für einen Einstieg zu hoch,schaut euch nur mal den Anstieg der letzten 2 Monate an,wen ich einsteige dann aber nur bei einem deutlichen Rücksetzer oder überhaupt nicht.Gruß kalle 50 !  

Lassen wir uns mal überraschen.  

Bei dem Rücksetzer konnte ich nicht wiederstehen. ^^  

...mal sehen wo die Reise hingeht.

 

 

bei diesem sehr Schwierigen Markt der seit nunmehr 5 Handelstagen anhält hat  sich die Aktie bis jetzt sehr achtbar geschlagen.  

heute ja richtig gut. Steigt mit hohen Umsätzen, sogar in Frankfurt. Gab es irgendwo eine Empfehlung der Aktie?  

bin investiert.
einige empfehlungen in den letzten tagen.
soll auch in Nordamerika empfohlen sein. von Rocky Vega und Byron W. King
und bei uns von Oxford Club. mein Kursziel ist erstmal 1€.
bald kein pennystock mehr.  

tut sich so gut wie garnichts ich hoffe sie zieht endlich mal Richtung Norden,wen nur die Hälfte von dem was uns dieses Börsenblatt erzählt eintrifft so dürfte es langsam aber sicher bald steil nach oben gehen????  

Nur Geduld, mein lieber kalle50. Wenn das alles stimmt, was in der Bilanz steht, und die ausgewiesenen Reserven wirklich vorhanden sind (und keine Luftnummern), dann kommt früher oder später der Markt darauf, um was für einen Substanzwert es sich hier handelt. Nach meinen Erfahrungen kommt dann möglicherweise ein Übernahmeangebot: das ist bei fast all meinen interessanten Stockpicks der letzten 6 Monaten so passiert: Dragon Oil, Central African Mining & Exploration, Brett Ressources Corporation (heute!). Für die großen Rohstoffkonzerne ist dieser Weg wesentlich einfacher, um das Wachstumsmomentum in Bilanz und GuV zu halten - und die wertlosen USD-Reserven der Firmen-Tresorie sinnvoll zu verarzten! Und schließlich geht's unseren lieben Chinesischen Freunde genauso, die mit Argusaugen alles verfolgen und sich Gedanken machen, was sie mit den wertlosen Export-Dollars noch anstellen können, bevor Helikopter-Ben und Obama die monetäte Atombombe zünden...

P.S.: Ich schätze ECU wesentlich positiver und seriöser ein als "unsere" Curcas Oil. Hoffentlich täusche ich mich da mal nicht...
