Minco Silver Corporation (the "Company" or "Minco Silver") (TSX: MSV)
is pleased to announce that the Company has retained Wardrop

Feasibility study for its Fuwan Silver Project located in Guangdong
Province, China.
Established in 1955, Wardrop is an internationally recognized,
employee-owned Canadian firm with 17 locations in Canada, Africa,
China, India, the United Kingdom, and the USA. In the past three years,
Wardrop has been involved in over 50 NI 43-101 compliant feasibility
studies in over 55 countries world-wide with a client list that

Having considerable work experience in China, Wardrop's highly
qualified team of specialists understands the culture and has built
relationships both personally and professionally with local Chinese
institutes.
Wardrop has assembled a multi-disciplinary team to complete the report
suitable for submission to international banking institutions. They
have partnered with Environmental Resources Management in China ("ERM")
to complete the environmental aspects of the feasibility study which
will be done to IFC ("International Finance Corporation") standards. As
well, China Nerin Engineering Co., Ltd. ("NERIN"), have been approached
to assist in specific areas of the engineering work. Wardrop will lead
and manage the feasibility study out of its Beijing office.
Minco Silver plans to deliver an updated resource estimation in May,

feasibility study is expected to be completed by the end of 2008.
Minco Silver's Chairman and CEO commented: "We are very pleased with
our progress to date and excited to embark upon the road to production.
