WESTERN SILVER CORPORATION IS ADDED TO THE S&P/TSX COMPOSITE INDEX

Western Silver Corporation today announced that it will be added to the S&P/TSX Composite Index, the S&P/TSX Small Cap Index and the Global Industry Classification Standard Sector Materials Index, effective after the close of business on September 17, 2004.

Dale Corman, Chief Executive Officer of Western Silver said that Western Silver’s addition to the TSX Composite Index is recognition that its Peñasquito project is emerging as an important silver and gold deposit.  “This milestone is a tribute to our excellent exploration team and a reward to our shareholders and supporters,” he said.

Western Silver Corporation is a publicly-traded mineral exploration company focused on discovering and developing silver properties in the Americas. The Company's primary project, the 100%-owned Peñasquito property in central Mexico, is emerging as a silver-gold-lead-zinc district with significant exploration upside. The Chile Colorado Zone at Peñasquito has been independently confirmed as one of the largest undeveloped silver deposits in the world and is economic at conservative metal prices. Western Silver also has an interest in the world class San Nicolas zinc-copper project in Mexico with Teck Cominco and owns the Carmacks Copper Project in the Yukon. The Company is listed on the American (AMEX:WTZ) and Toronto (TSX:WTC) stock exchanges.
