Silver Scott Mines, Inc. announced the receipt of mining and processing permit approval from Semarnat the Mexican Federal environmental agency, and the associated granted change of use of soil zoning for mining within 20 hectares. Payment for change of soil use zoning for the site changing from agriculture to mining was made in connection with the mining permit. An 80,000 tone test scale heap leach is being planned which will be expanded if successful. The company has completed column and bottle roll leach testing in the past on the project's mineralized zone and expects that the scale test production will provide the company with saleable concentrate product. The mine site is the location previously reported in the October 2011 news release regarding air track percussion drill results. That drilling tested an outcropping mineralized area from which material for this test heap leach will be derived. The company announced resignation of Mr. James Bradshaw from the board.
