ATHENA SILVER RENEWS CREDIT FACILITY


June 6, 2013                                                                                          FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


Boulder, Co ---- Athena Silver Corporation (OTCBB: AHNR) is pleased to announce that it has renewed and extended the maturity date on its $1 million convertible credit facility from July 31, 2013 until July 31, 2014.    The credit facility is convertible at the option of the holder into common stock at $0.50 per share.

According to Athena President John Power, “This credit facility provides funding for Langtry and our corporate obligations with minimal dilution to our shareholders.  I am pleased we have been able to renew it and extend the maturity date.”

“Our flagship Langtry Silver project is one of a handful of pure play domestic silver deposits held by junior exploration companies and we believe it ultimately will be valued at a premium over resources located in more uncertain jurisdictions.”

Power added that since acquiring Langtry in 2010, the Calico Mining District has been rediscovered by two of the world’s largest silver-focused companies both active on projects adjacent or near Langtry.

About Athena Silver Corporation:


Athena Silver Corporation is a junior exploration company focused on the exploration and development of its flagship Langtry silver project in California.


Langtry Silver Project, San Bernardino County, California


The Langtry silver project consists of 862 acres including 20 patented claims comprising 413.22 acres in the Calico Mining District of San Bernardino County, California. Athena entered into a 20-year mining lease with an option to purchase the Langtry patented Claims effective March 15, 2010 and amended on November 28, 2012. The 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 .


There were over 200 holes drilled in the project area by the minerals division of Superior Oil Company in the late 1960s and 1970s. Average depth was 400 feet and the deepest hole was 575 feet. Our resource database includes 135 of the Superior holes together with the 13 holes drilled by Athena in 2011.  An NI 43-101 technical report was published on May 3, 2012 on the Langtry project with an Indicated Resource of 18,809,000 Ounces of Silver and Inferred Resource of 42,623,000 Ounces of Silver.

Lava Beds District Prospect, San Bernardino County, California

Athena also has fee simple ownership of a 661.37 acre property near the Lava Beds Mining District and has evidence of historic mining.    It is adjacent to both the “Silver Cliffs” and “Silver Bell” historic mines.   The property is located in the same regional geologic area known as the “Western




Mojave Block” that includes our flagship Langtry project.   It is approximately 28.5 miles SE of our Langtry project.

Cautionary Statement

The terms “mineral reserve”, “proven mineral reserve” and “probable mineral reserve” are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) - CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves , adopted by the CIM Council, as amended. These definitions differ from the definitions in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Industry Guide 7 under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Under SEC Industry Guide 7 standards, a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study is required to report reserves, the three-year historical average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority.

In addition, the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are defined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43 -101; however, these terms are not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of a mineral deposit in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. “Inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of “contained ounces” in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC Industry Guide 7 standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.
