Highlander Silver Corp. announced the results from ninety-five due diligence grab and chip samples (including six previously reported) from outcropping exposures on its recently acquired Politunche Property. Highlander was attracted to the Project based on the extent of historic, high-grade gold and silver surface samples and encouraging drill results, found within an intensely altered package of volcanic rocks.

Since initiating the due diligence a total of 95 grab and chip samples have been collected an analysed on the property including 6 results that were previously reported. In addition, 39 soil samples were collected and submitted for multi-element ICP analysis and 243 sample sites were tested with a portable X-Ray Fluorescence (pXRF) analyzer. This work was directed at confirming the historic results from work completed by Solitario Zinc Corp.

from 2007 to 2011. Gold anomalism appears concentrated in the northern half of the property while high-grade silver associated with increased lead-zinc values has a broader distribution across the property. Of the ninety- five samples collected, 22 samples returned gold results in excess of 1.0 g/t and 10 exceeded 3.0 g/t ranging from 3.01 g/t to 13.20 g/t. Forty-three (43) of the samples assayed above 50 g/t silver including 25 assays that ranged from 167g/t to 1,535 g/t silver.

The North block mineralization is characterized by a set of NE trending structures cross-cutting a NNW trending ridgeline which transects the property. Historic exploration identified a series of veins, breccias and stockworks over a 1.5 x 3 kilometre area. An arcuate shaped gold trend appears to be emerging from Highlanders current sampling along and adjacent to a ridge-forming, dike-dome outcropping.

Here, nine rock samples returned grades in excess of 3.0 g/t with one sample grading above the assay labs upper detection limit of 10 g/t gold. This highly anomalous gold trend zone lies adjacent to a 250ppb gold soil anomaly measuring roughly 250 metres by 650 metres which drapes over a saddle along the NNW trending ridgeline. No drilling has been conducted on this target.

A second gold trend was previously identified near the northern boundary of the property where a NE trending structural zone hosts multiple veins with gold grades ranging from 0.5 g/t to a maximum of 5.39 g/t over a 1.0-kilometre strike length. Four of Solitario's 11 drill holes encountered multiple, significant gold intercepts within this zone. The best intersection came from hole AZ-003 that averaged 0.46 g/t Au, 7.3 g/t Ag over 54.5m including 6.9m @ 1.46 g/t in hole AZ-003.

Silver-lead-zinc bearing structures extend over the entire length of the property, forming what appears to be a north-northwest trend. The distribution may be in part due to limited sample density. These veins and breccias typically contain disseminated to semi-massive veinlets of galena, brown sphalerite and silver sulfosalts with later drusy quartz cavity linings and bladed barite.

This style of mineralization occurs with pervasive argillic and phyllic alteration, which is often known to be linked to underlying intrusive related, mineralizing systems at depth. The distribution of silver lead-zinc anomalism together with the fact that only 2 of the 25 highly anomalous silver samples had corresponding gold grades in excess of 3.0 g/t suggests the probability of two mineralizing events. This is further supported by the highly variable silver (g/t) to gold (g/t) ratio that varies from a low of 1.8 to a high of 4,645.

The current working hypothesis is that a late gold event overprinted an earlier silver- base metal phase in a telescoping, multi-episodic mineralizing system.
