United Mining Group, Inc. ("UMG" or the
"Company") (TSX:UMG)(OTCQX:UMGZF)(FRANKFURT:UM8)
is pleased to announce that its
previously reported $4.3 million drilling program has received initial results from the Alhambra
Zone on its surface program at the Crescent Silver Mine project, located near Kellogg, Idaho.
Surface drilling for the lateral extension of the South Zone has commenced and underground
exploration drilling on the vertical South Zone is scheduled to commence in mid May.
In 2010, UMG acquired 973 acres of exploration lands adjoining, and immediately west and

program has been planned (see news release dated March 17, 2011).

schedule despite late‐season snow cover. To date, four diamond drill holes, varying between
714 feet and 970 feet in total depth, have intersected the Alhambra fault in the vicinity of the
historic Dawn adit. The Dawn adit is a shallow working located about 2000’ west of the
identified Alhambra resource. Historic sampling of the Dawn adit reported an average silver
grade of 12 ounces per ton silver over an average vein width of 2.6 feet for 53 feet along the
fault. UMG management considers...
