WINNEMUCCA, NV--(Marketwire - Oct 26, 2012) - American International Ventures, Inc. ( OTCBB : AIVN ) ( OTCQB : AIVN ) is announcing the outcome of its First Annual Mining Summit held in mid-September, 2012 in Reno, Nevada and recent events. First and foremost, the entire Board of Directors of AIVN, wish to thank the invited guests, investors and company officers and employees of AIVN, that joined the board in its first visit to the Golden Eagle Mines, and tour of the mining site currently under development by AIVN. Mike King of Princeton Research stated: "the Board of AIVN was very impressed and so was I, especially with how much the company has accomplished in such a short timeframe. The progress at the Golden Eagle is amazing."
In addition, the biggest accomplishment of AIVN to date was the board agreed to pursue the offer for AIVN to operate one of the most valuable gold mining projects in Mexico and partner with the mines owners to set up a commercial mining operation with La Madre S.A. de C.V. Within the next 3 months AIVN will be optimizing the existing surface mining operations. The Mexican Mining Consortium established La Madre to facilitate the contract signed on October 1, 2012 where AIVN will establish a new placer mining operation to mine and sell the precious metal recovered from the property. The start date, under the contract terms, has been scheduled for October 15, 2012, and the AIVN team is now on site and equipment is being imported for the operation from Nevada. Plans for the next three months will be to establish a pilot program under the direction of La Madre's geologist, in order to start building the new stationary wash plant by spring that will run 200 tons per hour. The pilot program will be reflected in a new feasibility study with the new classification and recovery rate of no less than five hundred tons of material per day for the first 90 days. This pilot program whose location was discovered in a geo scientific study performed in 2010 was included in the NI 43-101 technical report issued later that year.
Jack Wagenti, Chairman of the Board, stated: "This is the final step in our master development plan and we are very excited to have this opportunity made available by our good friends in Mexico. The overall opportunities for AIVN in Mexico are endless and this newest mining venture is without question going to help us exceed our revenue projections for 2012-2013."
Brandon Nash, B. Sc. Geology and CEO of AIVN, met with the owners of the Mexican Mining Consortium in Baja California, with their geologist and attorney to tour the mine site and verified the deposits for the pilot program. Mr. Nash took his own samples to assay using XRF at the site. These new samples taken during the site evaluation visit surprised the mine owners, when the assays determined 70% free milling gold, 15% platinum, 10% silver and other trace minerals, when tested using the company's x-ray spectrometer technology.
All site prep, roadwork and equipment installation work will be performed and permitted by AIVN. The contract calls for AIVN and La Madre to split fifty/fifty the production profits with the Mexican Mining Consortium for 17 years.

WINNEMUCCA, NV--(Marketwire -08/21/12)- American International Ventures, Inc. (AIVN) (AIVN) is continuing the development and construction of its offices, camp, and plant installation at its 704 patented acre Golden Eagle Mine extensions. AIVN recently hired AMEC to obtain its water pollution permits from the State of Nevada, consistent with its plans to operate a full scale mining operation at the site capable of producing 250 tons per hour.
Tucker White, President of AIVN stated: "We have tons of work to do just developing and constructing our Golden Eagle site before mining can begin. We have taken delivery so far of our Cedar Rapids crusher, Power Screen grizzly and trommel, John Deere dozer, Cat 345BL excavator, two 4000 gallon water trucks, dump trucks, Cat 953 crawler excavator/loader, Cat 988 rubber tire loader, 12 x 60 office trailer, 2800 gallon fuel tanker, utility truck, generators and miscellaneous trucks and heavy equipment trailers notwithstanding, more equipment has been purchased and is expected to be delivered by the end of the month."
AIVN plans at the Golden Eagle also include a lab for metallurgical testing. Brandon Nash, B.SC in Geology, CEO of AIVN, stated: "The prospects at our patented property are enormous with our new development plan designed to coincide perfectly with our State of Nevada permitting process over the next six months." Further, AIVN has decided to forgo future testing at the Nick Mine, previously announced last Friday, without securing the financing necessary to purchase Natchez Pass LLC for $7,000,000.00, in cash and stock. AIVN plans to continue its best efforts to secure the financing, but there can be no assurance AIVN will be able to finance the non-operating Nick Mine.
At present, AIVN has a robust collection of mines in various stages of development in Nevada. Golden Eagle Mines in Winnemucca, the Beatty Bullfrog Mines in Beatty, El Tule Canyon mines, the Stud and TNT mines located with the Capatola and Indian Mines in Hawthorne, the Rabbit Hole Mine and Placeritas in Imlay, the newest additions to its collection are the American Metallic Mine in Goldfield and the North Star Mine in Tonopah, Nevada. AIVN's other mines are the Bruner, in Nye County optioned to Patriot Gold until 2016, in addition to the Gypsy and Hot Springs, in Douglas County optioned to SWT Gold until 2014. AIVN recently paid all the property taxes on its patented claims and assessment fees to the BLM on its unpatented claims for 2013.
