      U.S. Silver Drilling Proves High-grade Ore Extensions
=======================================================================

May 26, 2010 - Toronto, Ontario - U.S. Silver Corporation (TSX-V: USA,
OTCQX: USSIF, Frankfurt: QE2) ("U.S. Silver" or "the Company") is
pleased to announce positive results from underground diamond drilling
indicating potential for higher-grade silver resources at the Company's
Galena mine near Wallace, Idaho. 

DRILL HIGHLIGHTSSince June, 2006 the Company has conducted underground
diamond drilling at the Galena mine for a total cost of approximately
US$5.1 million.  This drilling, combined with development, successfully
increased proven and probable reserves as of December 31, 2009 to
21,665,700 contained ounces of silver as reported on April 16, 2010.
This is a 99% increase from the reserve base on June 1, 2006 when US
Silver acquired the Galena mine.  The drill results discussed in this
press release were not complete at the time the December 31, 2009
reserves were calculated and thus were not included in the
calculations.  The drilling programs also identified new mine
development targets including the extension of the 220 Vein.
 
After curtailing diamond drilling during the first half of 2009 to
conserve cash, a single core drill resumed drilling in July 2009 and a
second drill was added in November.  Both drills continue to operate.
In addition, the Company operates a small portable core drill for
nearby exploration targets, mine planning and development purposes.
The Company will maintain the current rate of drilling for the
foreseeable future. 

EXPLORATION RESULTS

Galena Mine, 220 Vein, 4600-4900 Level

During the second half of 2009, 13,699 feet (4,175 m) of underground
core drilling were completed.   Three drill holes from this program
identified the 300 foot (91.4 m) down- dip extension of the 220 Vein
from the 4600 Level to the 4900 Level. 

Based on encouraging drilling results, track drifting on the 4900 Level
was conducted on the 220 Vein which was further developed vertically by
a conventional timber raise towards the 4600 level.  Initial stoping on
the vein has identified an ore shoot 241 feet (73.5 m) in length,
having an average width of 5.0 feet (1.52 m), and average diluted grade
of 34.19 ounces of silver per ton  (1,172 gpt) and 0.68 percent copper.
 The widths and silver grades are similar to results obtained from the
recently developed stope in the 220 Vein just above the 4600 Level.
Here the stope is 235 feet (71.6 m) in length with an average width of
5.0 feet (1.52 m) and an average diluted grade of 36.19 ounces of
silver per ton  (1,241 gpt) and 0.79 percent copper.

Galena Mine, 114 Vein Complex, 2400 Level

Diamond drilling totaling 10,180 feet (3,103 m) was completed during Q1
2010.  The primary focus of the drilling has been to delineate the
down-dip extensions of the 145, 146, 148, 171, 173 and 175 Veins below
the 2400 Level (referred to as the 114 Vein Complex; see Press Release
of May 28, 2008).

The 114 Vein Complex is being mined above the 2400 Level from the 170
Raise, a single transverse raise that accesses all six veins. Three of
the veins host silver-copper ores and three host silver-lead ores.  In
2009, a decline ramp was driven to access the veins approximately 100
feet (30.5 m) vertically below the 2400 Level.  From diamond drill
stations established at the bottom of the decline, a diamond drill
program was directed to define the down-dip extension of the veins. The
drilling continued though Q1 2010 and is on-going. 

Drilling highlights from results to-date are listed below:
(Note: Silver-copper intercepts of less than 10 opt and/or 1 foot in
width are not reported.  Silver-lead intercepts of less than 8 opt are
not reported.)

The current 2400 Level drilling program is scheduled to be completed by
the end of May 2010. It will be followed by interpretation and
re-estimation of the resources and reserves incorporating the new data.
 The grades and vein widths identified by drilling to-date indicate
that the mineralization in multiple veins continues at least 150 feet
(45.7 m) below the 2400 Level.
