    VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jan. 27, 2015) - GREAT PANTHER SILVER LIMITED (TSX:GPR) (NYSE MKT:GPL) ("Great Panther"; the "Company") is releasing the final results of the 2014 drill program at its San Ignacio satellite mine, which is part of the Company's wholly-owned Guanajuato Mine Complex in Guanajuato, Mexico. The 3,728 metre surface drill program successfully extended the continuity of high grade silver-gold mineralization for approximately 300 metres south of present mining activities. Results are highlighted by a 13.82 metre (11.72 metres true width) intersection in hole ESI14-140 assaying 4.99g/t gold and 194g/t silver.

    "Our recent drilling at the San Ignacio Mine has not only extended the mineralization to the south but has started to delineate a very significant lens of thicker and higher grade mineralization," stated Robert Archer, President and CEO. "With these encouraging results, we have modified the mine plan at San Ignacio and have turned our immediate focus to developing this new zone."

    The surface drilling program was concluded in mid-December 2014, with 25 holes drilled. While mining to date has focused on the Intermediate vein and, to a lesser extent, on the Melladito vein, the drilling showed that the two veins merge to the south. This single vein extension will retain the Melladito name and contains significantly better widths and grades than what was mined in 2014. Several new splays of high grade mineralization have also been observed.

    This single vein extension forms a thick lens of epithermal mineralization extending at least 300 metres south of the present mineral resource block, and under historic workings dating back to the 19th century. The vein structures are known to extend for approximately four kilometres along the length of the property leaving almost three kilometres of untested strike potential. The most southerly holes drilled in the program were on section 150N, including hole ESI14-140 noted above. Hole ESI14-136, on section 200N, included 19.47 metres true width, the thickest intersection to date, assaying 3.61g/t gold and 130g/t silver. Several holes included narrower intervals of bonanza grade silver-gold mineralization. Revised longitudinal sections and a complete table of assays can be found on the Company's website at www.greatpanther.com.

    The data from this drill program are presently being compiled, interpreted and modelled and a new San Ignacio Mineral Resource Estimate is expected to be announced this quarter, inclusive of the initial six holes that were announced on October 30, 2014.

    The San Ignacio Mine entered commercial production in June 2014 as a satellite operation of the Guanajuato Mine Complex. It is currently operating at approximately 300 tonnes per day, with ore being trucked 22 kilometres to the Company's Cata processing plant. As mineralization is close to surface, access and mine development is provided by a main ramp with auxiliary production levels. The main production level has already reached the closest of the new exploration holes, ESI14-117, and development is continuing to the south. The new drill results will be used to guide follow up underground drilling and development in 2015, all of which will be used to improve the classification of the resource. Surface drilling in 2015 will focus primarily on the depth continuity of the Melladito vein and further extensions to the south.

    The Company's QA/QC program includes the regular insertion of blanks, duplicates, and standards into the sample shipments; diligent monitoring of assay results; and necessary remedial actions. Sample assaying was completed at the independent SGS-GTO lab in Guanajuato, GTO, Mexico. Silver assaying was completed with AAS12B technique, with over-limits (300g/t) completed by FAG323. Gold assaying was completed with FAA313 technique, with over-limits (10g/t) completed by FAG323. Where necessary lead, zinc, copper, arsenic and antimony assays were completed using atomic absorption spectroscopy.

    Robert F. Brown, P. Eng. and Vice President of Exploration for the Company, is the Qualified Person for the Guanajuato Mine Complex under the meaning of NI 43-101 and has reviewed these results. Aspects relating to mining and metallurgy are overseen by Ali Soltani, Chief Operating Officer for Great Panther and its Mexican subsidiary, Minera Mexicana El Rosario, S.A. de C.V.
