LAS VEGAS, NV, MAY 22, 2014 – Silver Stream Mining Corp. (the "Company" or "Silver Stream") (OTCQB: AGSM) announced today it has entered into a standstill agreement ("Agreement") with Placer Mining Corporation, a Nevada corporation ("Placer"), which owns the Bunker Hill Mine, near Kellogg, Idaho ("Bunker" or the "Property"), in which Silver Stream will have the exclusive right to evaluate and perform due diligence on the Property until August 15, 2014 ("Review Period").

If a payment is delayed beyond the seven (7) day grace period, the Agreement will automatically terminate and neither Placer nor Silver Stream will have any obligation to one another from that date forward.
In the event Placer terminates this Agreement in order to accept another offer, or for any reason whatsoever, then Placer will pay Silver Stream a breakup fee in the amount of $5,000,000 USD (Five Million Dollars USD) within fifteen (15) days of notifying Silver Stream in writing of such termination.
During the Review Period, Placer agrees it will not, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate, assist, facilitate, promote or encourage proposals or offers from, entertain or enter into discussions or negotiations with, or provide information relating to the Property, including, but not limited to any and all due diligence materials, to any persons, entity or group in connection with the sale of the Property or any interest therein, or any amalgamation, merger, consolidation, arrangement, or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Placer.
