Summa Silver Corp. (TSXV: SSVR) (OTCQX: SSVRF) (FSE: 48X) ('Summa' or the 'Company') is pleased to report all remaining assay results from the recently completed drill program and an update from on-going data compilation at the high-grade silver-gold Mogollon Project near Silver City, New Mexico.

Key Current Drilling Highlights

23.2 m at 433 g/t silver equivalent (3.66 g/t Au, 134 g/t Ag) including 1.2 m at 2,686 g/t silver equivalent (26.3 g/t Au, 484 g/t Ag) both beginning at 240.5 m in MOG23-16.

15.5 m at 250 g/t silver equivalent (2.29 g/t Au, 60 g/t Ag) beginning at 186.6 m and 10.3 m at 234 g/t silver equivalent (2.12 g/t Au, 59 g/t Ag) beginning at 221.1 m in MOG22-12.

This mineralized zone remains open in multiple directions with strong silver-gold assays returned from holes at both ends of the current drilling pattern.

Work is just beginning at the Mogollon project with this first target representing only 1% of the total vein and structure strike length present at the project.

Historic Drill Results Validated by the Company's Modern Drilling Campaign

Based on the success of the drill campaign, the Company now expects to be able to use historic drill hole data from the Consolidated Mine area for resource estimation purposes, particularly for domain volume definition and with appropriate risk mitigation applied in estimation and to the resource classification. Highlights include: 14.0 m at 579 g/t silver equivalent (4.46 g/t Au, 219 g/t Ag) beginning at 299 m in hole MGR-38.

22.1 m at 368 g/t silver equivalent (2.88 g/t Au, 135 g/t Ag) beginning at 290.6 m and including 4.0 m at 776 g/t silver equivalent (5.69 g/t Au, 322 g/t Ag) beginning at 297.3 m in hole MGR-14.

22.1 m at 320 g/t silver equivalent (2.19 g/t Au, 147 g/t Ag) beginning at 257.6 m and including 4.6 at 742 g/t silver equivalent (4.77 g/t Au, 372 g/t Ag) beginning at 275.1 m in hole MGR-8.

Widths are downhole core lengths, true widths have yet to be determined. AgEq is calculated using US$20/oz Ag, US$1,800/oz Au, with metallurgical recoveries of Ag - 90% and Au - 95%. AgEq = (Ag grade x Ag recovery)+((Au grade x Au recovery) x (Au price / Ag price)).

Galen McNamara, CEO, stated: 'These drill results continue to demonstrate that significant mineralization remains around the old mines of Mogollon. Our exploration drilling has also successfully verified the validity of historic high-grade drilling completed by a past operator in the 1980's. We are currently prioritizing targets for our fall drilling activities and plan to share more information both on new targets, and further historic data in the future. In the meantime, preparations are well underway for our upcoming drill program at the Hughes project in Tonopah, Nevada scheduled to begin in May.'

Mogollon Drill Program

The focus of the recently completed multi-rig drill program at the Mogollon Project was on testing for un-mined extensions of the Consolidated Mine, centered on the north-trending Queen Vein. Holes MOG22-13, MOG23-14, 16, 18, 17 and 19 were drilled north of the Consolidated mine and holes MOG22-12 and MOG23-15 were drilled south of Consolidated mine.

Results to date demonstrate strong grade continuity along the vein and within the complex vein system and outline two key areas, north and south of Consolidated, that require additional infill and step-out holes to better constrain plunge orientations and the lateral and vertical continuity of the high-grade mineralized zones.

Mogollon Data Compilation

The Company has recently completed a comprehensive data compilation of all available historic underground production and surface exploration drill hole data from across the Mogollon project, with an initial focus on the Consolidated Extension target. Production records, surface and underground mapping, and channel sampling data together with mapped/surveyed developments and stopes have been digitised in 3D and compared with lithological and structural models generated from historic USGS reports.

Summary of Historic Drilling around the Consolidated Mine

Historic RC drill data from the 1980's comprises downhole geological logs, sample interval information and full laboratory assay certificates for gold and silver analyses. Where observed, spatial collar information has been verified in the field.

Similar to Summa's recent drill programs, the focus of previous drilling in 1984 and 1988 at the Consolidated Extension target was to test for mineralization extensions along strike to the north and south from the Consolidated stopes. Select holes from Summa's recent drill programs at the Consolidated target were designed to step-out and verify some historic assay data. Summa's results compare favorably to historic results. Broad zones of strong quartz-calcite breccias, stockworks and multi-phase veining proximal to rhyolite dykes with local high-grade intervals within broader lower-grade zones (e.g., 22.1 m at 368 g/t silver equivalent including 6.4 m at 650 g/t silver equivalent in hole MGR-14) were described in most holes from the 1980's. These observations and results are spatially consistent with geologic and assay data from new diamond drill hole data.

About Summa Silver Corp

Summa is a Canadian junior mineral exploration company. The Company owns a 100% interest in the Hughes property located in central Nevada and has an option to earn 100% interest in the Mogollon property located in southwestern New Mexico. The Hughes property is host to the high-grade past-producing Belmont Mine, one of the most prolific silver producers in the United States between 1903 and 1929. The Mogollon property is the largest historic silver producer in New Mexico. Both properties have remained inactive since commercial production ceased and neither have seen modern exploration prior to the Company's involvement.
