americano, USC hasn't started the production yet;

Test Mining Metal Production to Offset the Cost of Exploration

The Company has a joint venture with the New Jersey Mining
Company ("New Jersey"; the "New Jersey Agreement") to secure
near-term milling capacity for the Crescent (see press releases
dated October 7, 2010 and June 9, 2011).
Mill expansion, including equipment installation and
fabrication of structures and conveyors is nearing completion.
Mine Fabrication and Machine, a business unit of the company's
wholly owned subsidiary, United Mine Services, Inc., is
performing much of the mill construction.
Commissioning is expected to start at the end of March 2011.
The joint venture agreement gives the Company an exclusive
right to 7,000 tonnes per month of milling capacity, with first
rights on additional unused capacity.


The mill is located less than four miles from the Crescent Mine.

The mill will initially process ore from test drifting on the
South Vein currently stockpiled at the New Jersey mill.
Concentrates produced by the milling of the underground
drifting-produced mineralization will be sold to Formation
Metals U.S. under an agreement signed in December 2011 (refer
to news release dated December 13, 2011).
Formation's refinery is less than three miles from the mill,
virtually eliminating hauling costs.

The Company expects that the ore from underground test drifting
and stoping will provide cash flow to the Company which will
offset the cost of exploration development.
Projected cash flow will cover the cost of expanding the
Crescent deposit and avoid the need for further equity
offerings during the period of the Plan.


An Integrated Company

USC CEO Graham Clark states:
"The Board of Directors of the Company is excited and extremely
optimistic about our plans going forward to explore, and test
mine on a modest scale, the materials generated from drifts and
stopes within the South Vein area of the Crescent Mine, while
at the same time exploring farther afield for the on-strike and
down-dip extensions to this potentially extensive silver-
bearing system.
We are grateful to have secured initial funding from Hale to
establish our Plan which, for the next four years, will see
aggressive exploration combined with cash flow from mining to
finance the exploration and broader understanding of the
system.
We believe that the cash flow generated from mining will offset
the need to go to the financial markets and undertake a public
offering during this time, preserving and enhancing value for
the shareholders and providing us with first-hand experience
mining the deposit.


"USC management is looking forward to our Plan of combined exploration and silver production to be the beginning of the next, and most important period to date, in the evolution of the Crescent deposit".
