October 15, 2010 - Toronto, Ontario - U.S. Silver Corporation (TSX¬V: USA, US OTCQX: USSIF, Frankfurt: QE2) ("U.S. Silver" or "the Company") announces silver, copper and lead production for the third quarter, the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Using metals prices of $20/oz. for silver, $1.00/lb. for lead and $3.75/lb. for copper, equivalent ounces of silver produced totalled 620,700 ounces in the quarter.
Third quarter silver production was approximately 240,000 ounces below target. The deficit occurred primarily due to the protracted effects of the contractor fatality in late June 2010 as well as lower than planned head grade. Past seismic events continue to impede accessing higher grade stopes and caused some additional production delays. Access to higher grade stopes will be completed in October. Unaudited cash cost per silver ounce produced after by-product credits was $12.94 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The primary cause for the higher cost was the lower production rates as described above.
Tom Parker, President and CEO of U.S. Silver stated, "Q3 performance was clearly a disappointment and represents an unacceptable result. Everyone at the Galena is working hard to overcome the obstacles that affected our performance in Q3. We continue main level track development as well as driving raises to develop additional mining stopes. With this Q3 result we have reduced our production forecast for the year ended December 31, 2010 to 2.4 million ounces (Q4 700,000 ounces) of silver, 5.5 million pounds (Q4 1.3 million pounds) of lead and 1.0 million pounds (Q4 275,000 pounds) of copper and expect Q4 to return to more normal production levels. Strong commodity prices have helped offset the financial impact of reduced metals volume."
