About Athena:

Athena Silver Corporation is a silver exploration company focused on the western United States.

Athena entered into a 20-year mining lease with an option to purchase the Langtry Claims on March 15, 2010. The Langtry silver resource consists of 20 patented claims comprising 413.22 acres in the Calico Mining District of San Bernardino County, California. Our Lease/Purchase agreement is subject to continuing financial and work commitments on the claims and other royalties more fully described in the company's filings available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.  

The historical resource estimate at Langtry thus far has been defined by 201 rotary drill holes drilled by the minerals division of Superior Oil Company in the late 1960s and early 1970s.   Average hole depth was 400 feet and the deepest hole was 575 feet.    The estimated historical resource on the Langtry claims was a total of 52.14 million ounces of Silver.   Superior was an NYSE listed independent American Oil Company acquired by Mobil Corporation (now Exxon Mobil Corp. –NYSE “XOM”) in 1984 for $5.7 Billion.

We have no reportable mineral reserves within SEC reporting requirements. Even if we confirm the existence of silver resources, it may not be of sufficient quantity so as to warrant recovery. Additionally, even if we find silver in sufficient quantity to warrant recovery it ultimately may not be recoverable. Finally, even if any silver is recoverable, we do not know that this can be done at a profit. Failure to locate silver resources in economically recoverable quantities will cause us to suspend operations.
