VANCOUVER, Jan. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - (Silverado - OTCBB: SLGLF / Frankfurt : SLGL). Silverado Gold Mines Ltd., and its wholly owned subsidiary, Silverado Green Fuel Inc., were well received by investors and visitors alike at the recent conference and exhibition (Jan 20-21), attended by over 9,000 registrants.

"What we offered investors, over others at the show, was not only some exciting gold opportunities, based on over 40 years of being in the gold exploration and mining business in Alaska, but also our innovative green fuel (coal - to - liquid fuel) initiative. Visitors were keen on both, and recognized that Silverado is in two of the hottest markets today, gold and energy," stated Bob Dynes, Silverado's Investor Relations Manager.

A draw for a half ounce Silverado gold nugget was done, with the help of Peter Dimmell, the immediate past President of the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC).

A key message to investors, delivered in a speech at the conference by Greg McCoach, Editor of "The Mining Speculator" was, "I don't think the (current stock market) downturn will last long. Don't panic. Start buying now. Junior mining companies will soon have their day in the sun. Precious metals will start to go up, and metal stocks will go up with them."

Silverado Gold Mines Ltd.

Silverado's twelve square mile, 100% owned Nolan Property has yielded over $ 15 million in gold and antimony. This was produced on test basis activity only. The area, over its pre - Silverado historical 'gold rush mining', produced 120,000 oz of gold, and generated a 136 oz gold nugget, the second largest ever found in Alaska. Silverado discovered the tenth largest gold nugget, at 41 oz. See - http://www.silverado.com/projects/no...

Silverado's Nolan property includes infrastructure built, and paid for, including a 24 person accommodation, machine shop and heavy equipment maintenance. With all permits in place, Silverado has recently invested $ 1 million for specialized underground exploration and mining equipment. Underground exploration is being carried out, 24/7, to explore lode deposits which are potentially the source of placer nuggets. Silverado had already discovered 93-97% pure gold nuggets in the area.

Silverado's Ester Dome property has generated, on a test basis only, $ 10 million of top quality gold bullion. Ester Dome has a 300 ton/day plant, which can be re-opened, as the opportunities present themselves. See - http://www.silverado.com/projects/es...

Silverado's Eagle Creek, a gold and antimony property, is the second largest antimony producer in the region. In past years, Silverado built and operated a 100 ton/day plant on Eagle Creek and successfully sold concentrates produced on a test basis. This property needs very little work to make a production decision. See - http://www.silverado.com/projects/ea...

Silverado Green Fuel Inc.

Green Fuel can be used to power oil-fired power plants directly, or be used as a feedstock for further processing to produce transportation fuels (jet, diesel, gasoline), key agricultural compounds (fertilizers, synthetic petrochemical feedstocks, urea), industrial products (oils, lubricants, synthetics) and even consumer products (plastics, packaging, etc.). Silverado Green Fuel can also be further processed to produce pure, clean hydrogen to power fuel cell automobiles and electrical generation (power) plants.

Estimates are that Silverado Green Fuel will be commercially produced at under US$15 per barrel, on an oil equivalent energy basis, compared to current $90 - $100/barrel crude oil prices ($90.30, Jan 17/08).

"Our ability to adhere to our belief in Silverado Green Fuel has led us to being at the right place, at the right time. Most of the U.S. Presidential candidates are very supportive of clean coal, or coal - to - liquid fuel, and the Energy Bill delivers support to the industry to act on clean coal technologies," states Garry Anselmo, Silverado President and CEO. "By sticking with our vision, we are in the forefront of domestic energy self sufficiency for America."
