Defiance Silver Closes Oversubscribed Private Placement

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire - Sept. 27, 2012) - Further to news release dated September 10, 2012, Defiance Silver Corp ("Defiance") (TSX VENTURE:DEF) is pleased to announce that it has closed the second and final tranche of its amended private placement with the issuance of 1,675,000 units at a price of $0.20 per Unit for gross proceeds of $335,000. These units are subject to a four month hold period expiring four months from the date of issue. Gross proceeds from the two tranches totals $883,300. This amount includes an oversubscription of $383,300.

Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company, one full common share purchase warrant ("Warrant") and one Silver Participation Right ("SPR"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share of the Company for a period of 12 months at a price of $0.40 per share. Each Silver Participation Right will entitle the holder to receive 0.003 ounces of silver bullion or the equivalent value in Canadian dollars (being C$0.09 based on a C$30 per ounce silver price) from the Company's future silver production. Defiance believes that the innovative Silver Participation Right will provide a mechanism for participating investors to gain direct access to physical silver bullion and direct exposure to future upside in the price of silver.

The Company may pay finder's fees in compliance with TSX Venture Exchange policies on some or all of the Offering.
