Mining Stock News: SilverCrest (TSX.V: SVL) (NYSE MKT: SVLC) Reports Q1, 2013 Financial Results Cash Flow from Operations of $8.8 Million ($0.08 Per Share) Net Earnings $6.0 Million ($0.06 Per Share)

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - May 15, 2013 (Investorideas.com Mining Stocks Newswire) SilverCrest Mines Inc. (TSX.V:SVL) ( NYSE MKT: SVLC) (CW5.F) ("SilverCrest" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013. All financial information is prepared in accordance with IFRS and all dollar amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise specified. The information in this news release should be read in conjunction with the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and associated management discussion and analysis ("MD&A") which are available from the Company's website at www.silvercrestmines.com and under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

J. Scott Drever, President stated; "We are pleased with the steady start to 2013, for which operating costs and production were consistent with budget and mine plan, however, our financial performance in comparison to the extraordinary stellar first quarter of 2012, was impacted by lower metal prices and our decision to accelerate waste removal resulting in less ore processed and ultimately fewer ounces of gold sold compared to the first quarter 2012. Our operating team continues to tightly control operating costs, which resulted in the average cash operating cost of ($7.69) per ounce during the first quarter which was less than the corporate guidance of $8.50 per silver equivalent ounce. We are comfortable that, as the strip ratio declines during the second half of 2013 and the ore grades in the pit continue to increase, we will meet our corporate market guidance of 625,000 ounces of silver and 33,000 ounces of gold for 2013."
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS OF Q1, 2013, Compared to Q1, 2012:

• Cash flow from operations (1) decreased 28% to $8.8 million ($0.08 per share).
• Cash operating cost per silver equivalent ounce sold (2) increased 10% to $7.69, but below market guidance of $8.50.
• Revenues reported - IFRS (3) decreased 22% to $15.3 million.
• Metal sales of 157,088 ounces of silver were up 12% and 7,370 ounces of gold were down 25%.
• Bullion inventory at March 31, 2013, included 43,278 ounces of silver and 2,106 ounces of gold.
• Realized spot metal prices were down for ounces sold - silver price fell 12% and gold price fell 5%.
• Net earnings were similar at $6.0 million ($0.06 per share), compared to $6.1 million ($0.07 per share).
• Cash, cash equivalents and short term investments were $41.1 million - Working capital was $48.9 million (at March 31, 2013).

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2013 to March 31, 2012
Net earnings were $6,002,276 ($0.06 per share basic) for the first quarter, consistent with $6,070,520 ($0.07 per share basic) in the first quarter of 2012.
Silver and gold revenues totalled $15,329,642 (2012 - $19,599,570) in the first quarter. Silver and gold revenues on a cash basis decreased by 17% to $14,776,451 (2012 - $17,776,691), primarily from a reduction in the number of gold ounces sold and lower realized spot prices.
Silver sales for the quarter were 157,088 ounces (2012 - 139,771), or 12% higher than the same period in 2012, but the average realized price was 12% lower at $30 (2012 - $34) per ounce. Total gold sales were 7,370 ounces (2012 - 9,788) or 25% below 2012. The Company sold 5,896 spot gold ounces (2012 - 6,471) at lower market spot realized prices of $1,626 (2012 - $1,720) per ounce. The Company delivered 1,474 gold ounces (2012 - 1,958) to Sandstorm at $350 per ounce.
Cost of sales amounted to $4,368,519 (2012 - $4,491,131). The cash cost per silver equivalent ounce sold amounted to $7.69, Au:Ag 55.8:1 (2012 - $7.00, Au:Ag 51.2:1). Corporate market guidance estimate for 2013 continues at $8.50 per silver equivalent ounce, (Au:Ag 55:1). The increase in cash cost per silver equivalent ounce sold was driven by higher operating costs during the second half of 2012 and lower gold sales, which corresponded to an increase in the average silver equivalent ounce value loaded on the leach pad and recorded in cost of sales. The overall cash cost per silver equivalent ounce increased, despite a decrease of approximately $0.50 per silver equivalent ounce from a lower silver to gold price ratio during the first quarter compared with the same quarter in 2012.
General and administrative expenses increased by 14% to $1,340,926 (2012 - $1,172,197) primarily due to an increase in regulatory expense and remuneration, resulting from the addition of new Corporate personnel and increased compensation for management.

(1) Cash flow from operations before changes in working capital items. This is a Non-IFRS performance measure.
(2) Silver equivalent ounces consist of the number of ounces of silver sold plus the number of ounces of gold sold multiplied by the ratio of the spot gold price to the spot silver price at the quarter end dates (Q1 2013; 55.8:1, Q1 2012; 51.2:1).
(3) IFRS 18 - Revenue should be recorded at its fair value, which for gold and silver is the market spot price on the date revenue is recognized.
(4) The MBL Hedging Facility was fully repaid in fiscal 2012, so this non-cash adjustment has now been eliminated.

NON-IFRS PERFORMANCE MEASURES
The discussion of financial results in this press release includes reference to cash operating cost per silver equivalent ounce sold which is a non-IFRS performance measure. The Company presents this measure to provide additional information regarding the Company's financial results and performance. Please refer to the Company's MD&A for the three months ended March 31, 2013, for a reconciliation of this measure to reported IFRS results.

Investor Alert: Enterprise Group, Inc. (TSX: E) (OTC: ETOLF) Moves on First Quarter News

May 10, 2013 (www.investorideas.com newswire) Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in sector research for independent investors issues an investor alert for infrastructure stock Enterprise Group, Inc.(TSX:E) (OTC:ETOLF). Yesterday the Company reported first quarter results for the period ended March 31, 2013, and its seventh consecutive quarter of profitability.

Enterprise Group, Inc. is a consolidator of construction services companies operating in the energy, utility and transportation infrastructure industries. The Company's focus is primarily utility & infrastructure construction and specialized equipment rental. The Company's strategy is to acquire complementary service companies in Western Canada, consolidating capital, management and human resources to support continued growth. Enterprise became a Western Canadian leader in flameless heat technology in September 2012 with its acquisition of Artic Therm International Ltd. and is poised to become a technological leader in underground infrastructure construction upon closing of its pending infrastructure construction acquisition
QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS
Net profit for the quarter surpassed not only any historical quarter but also exceeded any full fiscal year's profitability in the history of the Company.
Net income for the quarter was $3,167,000, or 34% of revenue, compared to $169,000 in the same quarter last year, an increase of $2,998,000.
Earnings per share for the quarter was $0.05 per share compared to $nil in the same quarter last year.
Revenue for the quarter increased by $5,273,000 to $8,904,000 compared to the same period last year.
EBITDAS (1) for the quarter increased by $3,306,000 to $3,901,000 or 44% of revenue, compared to the same period last year.
Gross profit for the quarter was $5,202,000 or 58.4% compared to $1,226,000 or 33.8% for the same period last year.
The Company's utilities/infrastructure construction division renewed a three year, multi-million dollar service contract with one of Canada's premier power suppliers and due to the high level of service and quality of work, this division was awarded a second contract from the same customer that is similar in size and scope. These contracts were signed in February of 2013.
The Company added depth to its management team hiring Warren Cabral, CA as Chief Financial Officer to assist with the future growth of the Company.
To assist in executing the Company's strategy, in February $1,050,000 was raised in a non brokered private placement of 4,200,000 units at $0.25 per unit. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at an exercise price of $0.35 for a period of six months from the closing of the offering, subject to accelerated expiry in certain circumstances.
Also in February, the Company signed a letter of intent to acquire a specialized underground infrastructure construction company for $12,000,000. This acquisition is aligned with the Company's strategy to focus on infrastructure and specialty rental operations and will assist to mitigate the seasonality of the Company's existing operations. The purchase price of the acquisition is just over two times EBITDA of the target company.
To finance this acquisition, in March the Company entered into an arrangement to raise $6,000,000 of unsecured convertible debentures. The debentures have a two year term at 6% interest and will be convertible into common shares at a price of $.50 per share.
Additionally, subsequent to the quarter end, on May 2, 2013, the Company accepted a term sheet presented by PNC Bank Canada Branch (PNC) to increase its current senior secured finance facility from $12,500,000 to a maximum of $20,000,000.

• The Company's utilities/infrastructure construction division renewed a three year, multi-million dollar service contract with one of Canada's premier power suppliers and due to the high level of service and quality of work, this division was awarded a second contract from the same customer that is similar in size and scope. These contracts were signed in February of 2013.

Forward Looking Information
Certain statements contained in this news release constitute forward-looking information. These statements relate to future events or the Company's future performance. The use of any of the words "could", "expect", "believe", "will", "projected", "estimated" and similar expressions and statements relating to matters that are not historical facts are intended to identify forward-looking information and are based on the Company's current belief or assumptions as to the outcome and timing of such future events. Actual future results may differ materially. In particular, statements with respect to the completion of the proposed acquisition, the terms and conditions of the transaction, the completion of an asset-based debt financing and financial information relating to the private company include forward-looking information. The proposed acquisition may not be completed on the terms and conditions contemplated herein or at all. The Company's Annual Information Form and other documents filed with securities regulatory authorities (accessible through the SEDAR website www.sedar.com) describe the risks, material assumptions and other factors that could influence actual results and which are incorporated herein by reference. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be expressly required by applicable securities laws.
Non-IFRS Measures
The Company uses International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). EBITDA is not a measure that has any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and is therefore referred to as a non-IFRS measure. This news release contains references to EBITDA. This non-IFRSmeasure used by the Company may not be comparable to a similar measure used by other companies. Management believes that in addition to net income, EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure as it provides an indication of the results generated by the Company's principal business activities prior to consideration of how those activities are financed or how the results are taxed. EBITDA is calculated as net income excluding depreciation, amortization, interest and taxes.

Mining Stock News: SilverCrest (TSX.V: SVL) (NYSE MKT: SVLC) Announces 2013 Annual Meeting and Adoption of Corporate Governance Measures

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - April 25, 2013 (Investorideas.com Mining Stocks Newswire) SilverCrest Mines Inc.

May 6, 2013 has been fixed as the record date for determining shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting.

SilverCrest also announces the approval by its Board of Directors of an advance notice policy. This requires advance notice to the Company where nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors are made by shareholders other than pursuant to the requisition of a meeting or a shareholder proposal. The purpose of the policy is to provide shareholders, directors and management of SilverCrest with a clear framework for nominating directors of the Company. This will ensure that all shareholders receive adequate notice of the director nominations and sufficient information regarding all director nominees, facilitate an orderly and efficient shareholders' meeting and allow shareholders to register an informed vote after having been afforded reasonable time for appropriate deliberation.
The advance notice policy fixes a deadline by which holders of record of common shares of the Company must submit director nominations in writing to the Company prior to any annual or special meeting of shareholders at which directors are proposed for election, and sets forth the information that a shareholder must include in the notice to the Company. No person will be eligible for election as a director of SilverCrest unless nominated in accordance with the advance notice policy.
Notice to the Company must be provided not less than 30 days and not more than 65 days prior to the date of an annual general meeting provided, however, in the event the annual general meeting is to be held on a date that is less than 50 days after the date on which the first public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was made, notice may be provided not later than the close of business on the 10th day following such public announcement.
In the case of a special meeting of shareholders which is not also an annual meeting, notice to the Company must be made not later than the close of business on the 15th day following the date on which the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting was made.
For the upcoming annual meeting of shareholders, any notice delivered to the Company prior to the close of business on May 10, 2013 shall be deemed to have been timely delivered.
The advance notice policy is effective immediately and will be placed before shareholders for approval at the annual meeting on June 11, 2013. The full text of the policy is available under the Company's profile at www.sedar.com and on the Company's website. The advance notice policy will remain in effect unless amended or rejected by shareholders at the meeting.
The Board of Directors has also adopted a majority voting policy for the election of directors in uncontested elections. Under this policy, if a nominee does not receive the affirmative vote of at least the majority of votes cast, the Director shall promptly tender a resignation for consideration by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee shall consider the resignation and recommend to the Board the action to be taken with respect to such offered resignation, which may include: accepting the resignation, maintaining the Director but addressing what the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee believes to be the underlying cause of the withheld votes, resolving that the Director will not be re-nominated in the future for election, or rejecting the resignation and explaining the basis for such determination. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee in making its recommendation, and the Board in making its decision, may consider any factors or other information that they consider appropriate and relevant.

These statements relate to analyses and other information that are based on expectations of future performance, including silver and gold production and planned work programs. Statements concerning reserves and mineral resource estimates may also constitute forward-looking statements to the extent that they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered if the property is developed and, in the case of mineral reserves, such statements reflect the conclusion based on certain assumptions that the mineral deposit can be economically exploited.

Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. The Company's forward-looking statements are based on beliefs, expectations and opinions of management on the date the statements are made. For the reasons set forth above, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Mining Stock News: SilverCrest (TSX.V: SVL) (NYSE MKT: SVLC) Announces Q1 Production 153,481 Ounces Silver & 7,225 Ounces Gold

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - April 24, 2013 (Investorideas.com Mining Stocks Newswire) SilverCrest Mines Inc. (TSX.V:SVL) ( NYSE MKT: SVLC) (CW5.F) ("SilverCrest" or the "Company") is pleased to announce production figures for the first quarter of 2013 from its 100% owned Santa Elena Mine located in Sonora, Mexico.

Production Highlights of Q1, 2013 vs Q4, 2012;

• Silver production of 153,481 ounces was consistent with 153,863 ounces in Q4.
• Gold production decreased by 8% to 7,225 ounces.
• Ore Tonnes crushed decreased 18% to 252,830 tonnes due to focus on removing more waste tonnes.
• Waste to ore ratio increased to 4.27 from 3.07 due to planned increased waste stripping.
• Crusher throughput averaged 2,809 tonnes per day compared to 3,355 tonnes per day in Q4, 2012.
• Stacking conveyors replaced truck haulage of crushed ore with cost savings in Q1.
• Grades for ore loaded on the pads increased 4% and 9% for silver and gold respectively.

During Q1, 2013 the Company elected to accelerate waste removal (+19%) in advance of the hotter summer months when equipment availability and efficiencies have historically declined. The accelerated waste removal resulted in less ore processed (-18%) and silver equivalent ounces produced (-5%) during the first quarter. This sets the stage for a significant reduction in strip ratios and more ore tonnes processed with higher metal production in the second half of 2013. The Company maintains its corporate market guidance of 625,000 ounces of silver and 33,000 ounces of gold for 2013.
J. Scott Drever, President stated: "Our decision to accelerate waste removal is consistent with our overall mine plan for 2013 operations. We are comfortable that as the ultimate strip ratio declines and the ore grades in the pit continue to increase we will meet our production and cost projections for the year. We expect the positive results of improvements in these two metrics to become apparent in the second half of 2013."

SilverCrest Mines Inc. (TSX-V: SVL; NYSE MKT: SVLC) is a Canadian precious metals producer headquartered in Vancouver, BC. SilverCrest's flagship property is the 100%-owned Santa Elena Mine, located 150 km northeast of Hermosillo, near Banamichi in the State of Sonora, Mexico. The mine is a high-grade, epithermal gold and silver producer, with an estimated life of mine cash cost of US$8 per ounce of silver equivalent (55:1 Ag:Au). SilverCrest anticipates that the 2,500 tonnes per day facility should recover approximately 4,805,000 ounces of silver and 179,000 ounces of gold over the 6.5 year life of the open pit phase of the Santa Elena Mine. A three year expansion plan is underway to double metals production at the Santa Elena Mine and exploration programs are rapidly advancing the definition of a large polymetallic deposit at the La Joya property in Durango State.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Such forward-looking statements concern the Company's anticipated results and developments in the Company's operations in future periods, planned exploration and development of its properties, plans related to its business and other matters that may occur in the future. These statements relate to analyses and other information that are based on expectations of future performance, including silver and gold production and planned work programs. Statements concerning reserves and mineral resource estimates may also constitute forward-looking statements to the extent that they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered if the property is developed and, in the case of mineral reserves, such statements reflect the conclusion based on certain assumptions that the mineral deposit can be economically exploited.
Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual events or results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation: risks related to precious and base metal price fluctuations; risks related to fluctuations in the currency markets (particularly the Mexican peso, Canadian dollar and United States dollar); risks related to the inherently dangerous activity of mining, including conditions or events beyond our control, and operating or technical difficulties in mineral exploration, development and mining activities; uncertainty in the Company's ability to raise financing and fund the exploration and development of its mineral properties; uncertainty as to actual capital costs, operating costs, production and economic returns, and uncertainty that development activities will result in profitable mining operations; risks related to reserves and mineral resource figures being estimates based on interpretations and assumptions which may result in less mineral production under actual conditions than is currently estimated and to diminishing quantities or grades of mineral reserves as properties are mined; risks related to governmental regulations and obtaining necessary licenses and permits; risks related to the business being subject to environmental laws and regulations which may increase costs of doing business and restrict our operations; risks related to mineral properties being subject to prior unregistered agreements, transfers, or claims and other defects in title; risks relating to inadequate insurance or inability to obtain insurance; risks related to potential litigation; risks related to the global economy; risks related to the Company's status as a foreign private issuer in the United States; risks related to all of the Company's properties being located in Mexico and El Salvador, including political, economic, social and regulatory instability; and risks related to officers and directors becoming associated with other natural resource companies which may give rise to conflicts of interests. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. The Company's forward-looking statements are based on beliefs, expectations and opinions of management on the date the statements are made. For the reasons set forth above, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
