Executive Summary

  • AbraSilver released assay results from six drill holes that expand oxide‑hosted gold mineralization east of the Oculto deposit and high‑grade near‑surface silver mineralization in the JAC zone.
  • Notable intercepts include a bonanza 108.9 g/t Au over 1 m (DDH 25‑066) and 400 g/t Ag over 2 m (DDH 25‑058), indicating strong continuity and upside for both gold and silver resources.
  • The results suggest the potential to enlarge measured mineral resources beyond the current conceptual open‑pit shell, supporting further value creation for the project.

Key Details

  • Oculto East – Gold Intercepts
  • DDH 25‑066: 1.0 m @ 108.9 g/t Au (288 m depth) and 18.0 m @ 0.97 g/t Au (353 m).
  • DDH 25‑069: 24.0 m @ 1.02 g/t Au (243 m).
  • DDH 25‑071: 33.0 m @ 0.42 g/t Au (69 m).

  • DDH 25‑072: 140.0 m @ 0.57 g/t Au (262 m) including 8.0 m @ 2.60 g/t Au (338 m).

  • JAC Zone – Silver Intercepts

  • DDH 25‑053: 29.0 m @ 65 g/t Ag (85 m) with 7.0 m @ 108 g/t Ag.

  • DDH 25‑058: 32.0 m @ 100 g/t Ag (58 m) with 2.0 m @ 400 g/t Ag.

  • Additional Notable Intercepts (selected):

  • DDH 25‑066: 6.0 m @ 2.23 g/t Au; 19.5 m @ 0.41 g/t Au; 5.0 m @ 0.51 g/t Au; 1.0 m @ 108.9 g/t Au (gold‑silver combo).

  • DDH 25‑072: 17.0 m @ 0.15 g/t Au & 8.3 g/t Ag; 4.0 m @ 0.24 g/t Au; 140.0 m @ 0.57 g/t Au overall.

  • Drill Hole Collar Data (UTM coordinates, azimuth, dip, depth) provided for all six holes.

  • Comments

  • President/CEO John Miniotis highlighted the “strong continuity of wide gold zones” and “additional near‑surface silver mineralization,” emphasizing potential to expand resources beyond the current open‑pit model.

  • Chief Geologist Dave O’Connor noted broad intervals of gold at Oculto East and thick, continuous silver at JAC, underscoring system strength.

  • Technical Context

  • Assays are uncut & undiluted; widths reported are drilled lengths (true widths not yet known).
  • QA/QC procedures follow industry standards with blanks, reference materials, and duplicate samples.
  • Qualified Person: David O’Connor, P.Geo., Chief Geologist, NI 43‑101 sign‑off.

Notable Quotes

“These latest drill results highlight the strong continuity of wide gold zones at Oculto East, together with additional near‑surface silver mineralization at JAC… positions us to continue delivering value through ongoing exploration and development.” – John Miniotis, President & CEO

“Drilling at Oculto East continues to confirm broad intervals of gold mineralization… results at JAC reinforce the presence of thick, continuous silver mineralization…” – Dave O’Connor, Chief Geologist
