The drill holes with assay results disclosed in this news release are relatively shallow in depth and intersected broad silver-rich mineralization near surface; for example, drill hole DCAr0019 which intersected an interval of 173.17 metres ("m") from 9.67 m grading 102 grams per tonne ("g/t") silver ("Ag"), 0.77% lead ("Pb") and 1.13% zinc ("Zn"). Drill hole DCAr0020 is the only deep drill hole from this news release and intersected an interval of 322.91 m from 327.09 m to 650.00 m grading 1.03 g/t gold ("Au") and 12 g/t Ag mineralization at depth.
Highlights
- Drill hole DCAr0020 intersected an interval of 139.96 m (from 12.04 m to 152.00 m) grading 34 g/t Ag, 0.33% Pb and 0.94% Zn, and a second interval of 322.91 m (from 327.09 m to 650.00 m) grading 1.03 g/t Au and 12 g/t Ag, including a high grade interval of 141.11 m (from 478.00 m to 619.11 m) grading 1.78 g/t Au and 12 g/t Ag (Table 1 and Photo 1).
DCAr0020 was collared on Section 20, which is 200 m west of Section 24 (Figure 1 and Table 2) where holes DCAr0015 and DCAr0016 also intersected near-surface silver-rich zone of mineralization on top of a broad zone of gold mineralization (news releaseFebruary 10, 2022 ). Please see Section 24 with projection of DCAr0020 (Figure 2). - Drill hole DCAr0019 intersected an interval of 292.22 m (from 9.67 m to 301.89 m) grading 62 g/t Ag, 0.02 g/t Au, 0.56% Pb, and 0.85% Zn, which includes a high-grade interval of 173.17 m (from 9.67 m to 182.84 m) grading 102 g/t Ag, 0.77% Pb and 1.13% Zn for a silver equivalent of 166 g/t (Photo 2).
DCAr0019, together with holes DCAr0022, DCAr0023, DCAr0024, and DCAr0035, were drilled approximately 100 m to the east of Section 24 and all intersected near surface silver mineralization, but only DCAr0024 intersected favourable mineralization at depth for which fire assay results for gold are pending. All other holes on the section may not be deep enough to intersect gold mineralization at depth. - Drill hole DCAr0025 intersected an interval of 82.76 m (from 4.70 m to 87.46 m) grading 68 g/t Ag, 0.81% Pb and 0.10% Zn, including a high-grade interval of 34.59 m (from 32.35 m to 66.94 m) grading 138 g/t Ag and 1.05% Pb.
DCAr0025, together with holes DCAr0018 and DCAr0021 were drilled from the West Dome (Figure 1, Table 2) at elevations of 4,012 m to 4,036 m, also intersected multiple historical underground mining voids with an aggregate length of 10.7 m without core recovery.

Notes: | |
1. | Drill location, altitude, azimuth, and dip of drill holes are provided in Table 2. |
2. | Drill intercept is core length, and grade is length weighted. True width of mineralization is unknown due to early stage of exploration without adequate drill data. |
3. | Calculation of silver equivalent ("AgEq") is based on the long-term median of the |
4. | A cut-off of 20 g/t AgEq is applied for calculation of length-weighted intercept. At times, samples lower than 20 g/t AgEq may be included in the calculation of consolidation of mineralized intercepts. |
5. | For hole DCAr0024, gold values are results of semi quantitative ICP analysis, with fire assay results pending. |
