SilverCrest Continues to Expand Santa Elena Deposit,
Northern Mexico

VANCOUVER, B.C. September 26, 2007 � SilverCrest Mines Inc. (the �Company�) is pleased to report that the most recent assay results from its Santa Elena Project located in northern Mexico have continued to expand the deposit along strike and to depth with apparent improvements in widths and grades of the Main Zone. The Santa Elena Project is located approximately 150 kilometres northeast of Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico and is easily accessible with excellent local infrastructure. The Company has the right to acquire a 100% interest in the property.

The following 9 core holes (see attached drill plan for hole locations) are part of the current program to in-fill and expand the current reported NI 43-101 resources for the project. Of this series of holes, the most notable intercepts encountered are in SE07-34, which intercepted 21.35 metres (70 feet) grading 2.21 gpt gold (0.064 opt) and 171.7 gpt silver (5.0 opt) and SE07-35, which intercepted 21.2 metres (69.5 feet) grading 2.84 gpt gold (0.082 opt) and 101.1 gpt silver (2.95 opt).� The summary results for these 9 core holes at Santa Elena are as follows:

*Based on 50:1 Silver to Gold ratio and 100% metal recovery.

To date, a total of 21 holes have been drilled for which the results of 16 holes, including the above, have been reported (see news releases dated September 6 and September 19, 2007.) It is expected that an additional 20 holes will be drilled to complete the Phase II program.

Drill holes SE07-27 to SE07-32 provided near-surface, in-fill and expansion intercepts which are within the current proposed potential open pit. Widths and grades reported in these holes are consistent with the expectations predicted from the current geologic model. The purpose of the in-fill holes is to raise the confidence level of the resources within the proposed pit limits by upgrading the existing inferred resources to indicated resources.

Drill holes SE07-33 to SE07-35 are step-out holes that extend the deposit approximately 200 metres to the east of the previously reported NI43-101 resources. These holes provided intercepts which show the mineralized zone in this area to have an average true width of approximately 15 metres (49.2 feet) and a weighted average grade of 2.68 gpt Au and 137.1 gpt Ag or 271 gpt Ag equivalent (7.90 opt). The drilled strike length of the Main Zone is now approximately 800 metres.

Once drilling is complete, a new resource will be estimated and should result in significantly expanded resources to the east. All samples are being analyzed at ALS-Chemex in Hermosillo, Mexico and North Vancouver, BC, Canada.

J. Scott Drever, President stated; �We are particularly excited about the strength of the Main Zone with respect to its width and grades as we continue to explore further to the east and to depth. We have now tested the resource area that is expected to fall within the potential proposed pit at approximately 50 metre centres. This density of drilling, in addition to the detailed sampling on four underground levels, will allow us to complete our detailed resource estimates and prepare preliminary bench plans for an optimized open pit and start-up mine plan. The potential resource area for the starter pit now encompasses a length of approximately 800 metres, a width of about 15-30 metres and a minimum depth of 100 metres. Our immediate target is to develop an indicated resource of between 5.5 and 6.5 million tonnes of potential open pit material. The success of these step-out holes has led us to redesign the drill plan so as to test, at least on wide spacing, the entire 1200 metre length surface expression of the Main Zone. This should give us a reasonable understanding of the ultimate potential of the Main Zone.� In the mean time, we continue to be focused on completing our pre-feasibility study and making a production decision for an open pit heap leach operation before year end.�
