TVI Pacific Inc. Announces Shipment Schedule Update and Zinc Production Startup

April 25, 2011

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - April 25, 2011) - TVI Pacific Inc. (TSX:TVI) (OTCQX:TVIPF) ("TVI" or "the Company") announced today that copper concentrate shipment 21 is complete and that zinc production has been initiated.

-- The 21st shipment containing 5,143 dry metric tonnes ("dmt") of copper concentrate is complete;

-- Total gross revenue received for the shipment is approximately US$11.4 million;

-- Inventory of 2,900 dmt of copper concentrate remains in storage;

-- Next shipment (#22) is currently scheduled for mid to late May, 2011; and

-- Zinc production has been achieved with the first shipment expected by year-end.

The Company's 21st cargo of copper concentrates was shipped from the TVIRD warehouse facility at Santa Maria Port in Siocon, Zamboanga del Norte, in accordance with the offtake arrangement between TVIRD and MRI Trading AG ("MRI"). TVIRD expects to earn gross revenues of US$11.4 million from MRI for the current shipment of 5,143 dmt of copper concentrates.

The offtake agreement provides that MRI will purchase all of the copper concentrates produced at Canatuan over the anticipated life of the sulphide operation. Inventory of about 2,900 dmt remains in storage at TVI's Santa Maria Port warehouse and on-site at Canatuan. It is anticipated that shipments of copper concentrate will continue every 6-8 weeks.

The Canatuan mill has also now commenced the production of zinc concentrate, as a result of the zinc commissioning processes carried out over previous months. Initial volumes are modest, but it is anticipated that with effective copper-zinc separation being achieved, zinc concentrate volumes will ramp up so that a first shipment can be made prior to year-end.
