Platinum Television Group's Eye on Technology to feature Apex Silver Mines


February 20, 2003, Deerfield Beach , Fl - Platinum Television Group is pleases to announce the selection of Apex Silver Mines for its innovative, educational television series, Eye on Technology.

Silver is currently undervalued, and less expensive than historic norms, and it's a better investment than even gold if you want to "buy low and sell high", there is far less silver in the world than gold.  Eye on Technology

Most silver, 70-80% brought to market, is mined as a by-product of copper mining, gold mining, or zinc and lead mining.  There are very few silver mines in the world, since most are really copper or gold mines.  Therefore, mild increases in the price of silver will not bring substantially more silver out of the ground that price increases in silver will probably not reduce demand. You get so much silver for your money. due to silver being undervalued, you can get 100 times the value of your money and labor if you invest in silver

Apex Silver Mines Limited, organized in 1996, is engaged in the exploration and development of silver properties in South America , Mexico and Central America. The Company has a large diversified portfolio of privately owned and controlled silver exploration properties. The Company has rights to, or control over, 100 silver and other mineral exploration holdings, divided into 17 property groups, located in or near the traditional silver-producing regions of Bolivia , Mexico , Peru and El Salvador .

The Company's exploration efforts have produced its first development property, the wholly owned San Cristobal Project, which is located in southern Bolivia . This is a 460,000- acre concession that holds an estimated 430 million ounces of silver, as well as zinc and lead making it one of the largest open pit deposits of its kind in the world. Production is on hold until metal prices stabilize and San Cristobal is anticipated to be among the largest and lowest cost producers of silver and zinc in the world.

With cash reserves of nearly $50 million after having completed major pre-construction expenditures at San Cristobal , the Company is enhancing stakeholder value by being opportunistic in its financing and development strategies for the project.
