VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(MARKET WIRE)--Mar 11, 2009 -- Fortuna Silver Mines Inc. (CDNX:FVI.V - News)(BVLAC: FVI) is pleased to announce the completion of the 2008/2009 in-fill drill program on the Trinidad Zone of the San Jose silver-gold project located in Oaxaca, Mexico. The program has confirmed the presence and consistency of high-grade silver-gold mineralization in association with hydrothermal breccias, crackle breccias, quartz-carbonate veins and zones of sheeted and stockworked quartz-carbonate veinlets.






A total of 113 drill holes (32,925m) were completed in the in-fill drill program, bringing the total to-date for the zone to 198 drill holes (64,233m). Highlights from the in-fill drill program are summarized in the following table with length-weighted assay averages being calculated for mineralized intervals using a lower cut-off of 100 g/t Ag equivalent (Table 2, at the end of the news release, contains a full summary of the final drill holes). Updated longitudinal sections showing drill hole intercepts for the major veins and a drill hole location map are available on Fortuna's website at the following link: Trinidad DH Map & Longitudinal Sections.

Note: Silver equivalency estimates were derived using a silver-to-gold
ratio of 51:1. Metallurgical recoveries and net smelter returns are
assumed to be 100% for purposes of estimating silver equivalency.
Detailed interpretation of the geology and mineralization is underway as part of the preparation for an updated mineral resource estimate for the Trinidad Zone, scheduled for completion by the end of Q2 2009.

The in-fill drill program was initiated in June of 2008 and was designed to convert a significant portion of the resources in the upper 250 meters of the deposit to the Indicated and Measured classification. Partial results from the program have been previously released (see Fortuna news releases dated September 25, 2008, October 28, 2008, November 27, 2008 and January 7, 2009) as the program advanced. The design of the in-fill drill program was based on recommendations by AMEC E&C Services Inc. indicating that a drill spacing of 31 meters will be required for classification of the resources to the Indicated and Measured category.

Fortuna has also concluded metallurgical tests for the project with Metcon Research of Tucson, Arizona and is advancing with the feasibility level studies for the development of the San Jose deposit. Engineering contracts have been awarded in February for mine design, process plant design, tailings dam, water and power. The Company expects to present the "Manifiesto de Impacto Ambiental" to the Mexican environmental authorities by the end of March.

Background

The San Jose deposit is a low sulfidation epithermal system located within the Taviche Mining District in southern Oaxaca and is characterized by mineralized multiphase quartz-carbonate-sulfide veins, hydrothermal breccias and stockwork veining within a sequence of Tertiary andesitic volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks. The Company controls mining concessions covering approximately 54,000 hectares in the Taviche Mining District.

Quality Assurance & Quality Control

Following detailed geological and geotechnical logging, drill core samples are split on-site by diamond saw. One half of the core is submitted to the ALS Chemex sample preparation facility in Guadalajara, Mexico. The remaining half core is retained on-site for verification and reference purposes. Following preparation, sample pulps are sent to ALS Chemex in Vancouver where they are assayed for gold and silver by standard fire assay methods using a gravimetric finish. Multi-element analyses are also completed for each sample by ICP methods. The QA-QC program at San Jose includes the blind insertion of certified reference standards for silver and gold at a frequency of approximately 1 per 15 normal samples and the insertion of assay blanks at a frequency of approximately 1 per 15 normal samples. Additionally, approximately 5% of all samples are submitted to Inspectorate Assay Labs in Reno, Nevada for check assay purposes. All sample results reported in this news release correspond to HQ- or NQ-diameter core.

Ein "sell on good news". Sozusagen eine Abwechslung zum "sell on anticipated bad news" und "sell because maybe gold/silver prices drop".

Fortuna completes acquisition of Continuum and 100% ownership of San Jose Project, Mexico

March 9, 2009: Fortuna Silver Mines Inc. (TSX.V: FVI / Lima Exchange: FVI) - Fortuna is pleased to announce that its acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding securities of Continuum Resources Ltd. has now closed. As consideration for the acquisition of Continuum, Fortuna has issued 6,786,706 common shares and now has a total of 92,118,365 common shares outstanding.

Simon Ridgway, the Chairman of Fortuna, said, "I'd like to thank the entire management team of Fortuna for their efforts in closing the acquisition of Continuum Resources. We anticipate that the San Jose project will add substantial silver ounces to our production base and securing 100% ownership of the project is an important step for Fortuna and our shareholders."
As a result of the acquisition of Continuum, Fortuna now owns 100% of the San Jose Project in Oaxaca, Mexico. In March 2007, Fortuna published a NI43-101 compliant resource estimate for San Jose (see Fortuna news release dated March 12, 2007). Using a cut-off grade of 150 g/t Ag equivalent, the inferred and indicated mineral resources for the Trinidad zone at San Jose are estimated at:

* Indicated Mineral Resources: 1.47 million tonnes grading 262.6 g/t Ag + 2.19 g/t Au containing 17.7 million Ag equivalent oz

* Inferred Mineral Resources: 3.9 million tonnes grading 260.6 g/t Ag + 2.57 g/t Au containing 49.1 million Ag equivalent oz


Fortuna recently completed an extensive drill program designed to convert inferred mineral resources to the measured and indicated categories. The revised resource estimate is expected for June 2009.

The Company has also concluded metallurgical tests for the project with Metcon Research of Tucson, Arizona and is advancing with feasibility level engineering studies for the development of the San Jose deposit. Engineering contracts have been awarded in February for mine design, process plant design, tailings dam, water and power. Fortuna expects to present the Environmental Impact Study (EIS) to the Mexican authorities by the end of March. Management will be preparing a comprehensive project update in the up-coming weeks.

Mike Hester acted as the independent qualified person as defined by Canadian National Instrument 43-101.

Moin,

Fortuna = Explorer? Habe ich was verpasst oder wurden die wieder runtergestuft .

Kann mir gut vorstellen, das da gerade eine Anpassung stattfindet zu Endeavour (1 Endeavour = 2 Fortuna), aber erstmal muß Continium unter Dach und Fach und dann Holla die Waldfee.
