Teryl Resources and Minewest Silver and Gold Announce Exploration Permit Approved for the Silverknife Claims

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Teryl Resources Corp. (TSX Venture Exchange: TRC.V), (OTCBB: TRYLF) and Minewest Silver and Gold wish to announce that the amended mines exploration permit has been approved by the Ministry of Energy and Mines, for the exploration work for the Silverknife Property a silver/lead/zinc prospect located in the Liard Mining Division, BC.

Approved work as follows:

The terms of this permit begins on April 3, 2012.

THE SILVERKNIFE PROPERTY

The Silverknife Property lies in a well mineralized and historically and currently important precious and base metals exploration intensive region. The Silverknife Property hosts a known historic prospect (the Silverknife Prospect) with defined Ag-Pb-Zn mineralization within only two (2) km of Silvercorp's active Silvertip Ag-Pb-Zn deposit. The Silverknife Property represents a prospective target for precious and base metals mineralization genetically related to the Silvertip deposit.

The silver-zinc-lead mineralization defined to date on the Silverknife Property is interpreted to be a distal, stratigrpahically lower zone than the Silvertip deposit and more proximate to the Cassiar Batholith (heatsource). The most relevant targets for mineral exploration on the Property are associated chimney-type feeder systems and mantos related to the Silvertip mineralizing event.
