San Marcial Property, Sinaloa. Option 100% interest in property from Gold-Ore Resources Ltd. who had the property under option from Minera Holmex S.A. de C.V. The 1250 ha property is located 90 km due E of Mazatlan. It is a bulk-mineable target that could possibly be mined by open-pit methods. Recent core drilling tested mineralization to 100m depths and returned significant widths of 6 to 18 opt Ag in several holes. Silver Standard Resources Inc.

Silver Standard Resources Inc. is pleased to report intersections of high-grade silver within a halo of lower grade silver values in the recently completed drill program on the San Marcial silver property. The project, located approximately 90 kilometres east of Mazatlan, Mexico, has been optioned from Gold-Ore Resources Ltd. of Vancouver, B.C.

The objective of this program was to evaluate the down dip extensions of high-grade mineralization identified in earlier surface sampling. Consisting of eight core drill holes totalling 1,084 metres, the program targeted three parallel high-grade silver veins between the previously identified San Marcial SE and San Marcial NW areas. The drilling tested 380 metres of strike length of the vein zones to a depth of 150 metres. Significant high-grade results are as follows:

All analyses were completed by ALS Chemex Laboratories in North Vancouver, B.C. Analyses were done by fire assay with AA finish, and gravimetric finish when silver assays were greater than 100 parts per million (ppm).

Under amendments to dates in the option agreement with Gold-Ore, Silver Standard can exercise its option to earn a 50% interest through cash payments totalling US$29,000 and exploration expenditures of at least US$175,000 by June 30, 2002 (amended from April 30, 2002).
