Shoshone Silver/Gold Mining Company

Shoshone Silver/Gold Mining Company, established in 1969 as a silver exploration, development and production company, Shoshone Silver/Gold is located in Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho. Shoshone operated its Lakeview District mines and Lakeview mill in northern Idaho, successfully producing silver, gold, and base metals for much of the decade that followed. With the decline of silver and other metal prices in the 1980’s, Shoshone began to focus on acquiring new properties and diversifying its interests while still developing its Lakeview properties. During this period of time, the Company remained viable when many other mining companies had to close their doors. Shoshone increased its inventory of mining equipment for the future and kept its corporate debt level to a minimum. In April of 2010, Shoshone regained the status of being a production company once more. Shoshone signed a contract with a smelter in Canada to process the silver concentrates being produced by Shoshones Lakeview, Idaho mill. The first shipment of silver concentrates was trucked up to Trail on April 15, 2010 for smelting. A second, larger shipment of concentrates, was trucked to the same Canadian smelter on December 10, 2010. In 2009, the Company acquired Kimberly Gold Mines, Inc. and its exceptional portfolio of gold properties in central Idaho and central Washington. After the addition of the Kimberly gold properties to Shoshone’s existing gold properties, the Company changed its name from Shoshone Silver Mining Company to Shoshone Silver/Gold Mining Company. Shoshone is a company with an impressive portfolio of properties, including approximately 2,173 acres (880 hectares) in its “Silver Division”, approximately 2,125 acres (896 hectares) in its “Gold Division”, and approximately 200 acres (80 hectares) of “Potential Platinum/Polymetallic” properties. Shoshone has two operational ore processing mills: one for silver and one for gold, minimal corporate debt, a large inventory of mining equipment owned by the company, and top management with over 106 years of mining industry experience.
