Hercules Silver Corp. reported strong silver-lead-zinc results from shallow holes drilled into the Upper Plate above the new Leviathan porphyry copper discovery at its Hercules Silver Property located in western Idaho. These results showcase the presence of a significant silver system above and potentially related to the Leviathan porphyry copper discovery.

Grade and continuity are seen to increase to the northwest, toward the Hercules Adit Zone, in a similar pattern to the underlying porphyry copper system. The highest silver grades are concentrated at the Hercules Adit Zone, indicating a strengthening trend to the north, in alignment with the copper mineralization observed in the underlying porphyry copper System. The Hercules Adit Zone continues to remain open down plunge, extending towards a potential porphyry copper target.

Planning for the 2024 drill campaign is underway, with the program scheduled to commence when weather conditions permit. Additional details regarding the drill plan will be disclosed as targets are finalized. In a similar pattern to the increasing copper grades reported in the Lower Plate, the silver grades also appear to increase in a northerly direction, with the most promising grades found at the Hercules Adit Zone.

This correlation suggests a potential relationship between the two mineralization styles, possibly representing different levels within a porphyry system. These factors, along with convincing geophysical trends present these zones as compelling targets for the upcoming 2024 drilling campaign, as look to explore their porphyry copper potential at depth. The program will be aimed at systematically stepping out on the Leviathan porphyry copper discover as well as testing a multitude of newt targets identified by team.

The objective is to have three diamond core rigs operational on site to complete a series of systematic step-outs from discovery hole HER-23-05, as well as several larger scale step-outs, and scout drilling of select reconnaissance targets. The objective is to have 3 diamond core rigs operational onsite to complete a series of systematic steps-outs from discovery hole HER -23-05, as well As several larger scale step-outs. The company look forward to sharing the details of the drill plan as it finalize specific targets in advance of the field season.

The company also like to thank Barrick for the tremendous technical support they've provided with so far.
