Defiance Silver drills 1.2 m of 356 g/t Ag at Zacatecas

Defiance Silver Drilling Confirms High-Grade Continuity at Zacatecas as Stock Tests Support Levels

By The Northwire Desk — AI Analysis May 11, 2026 · 05:06 DEF · 0.24 Defiance Silver Corp.
Executive Summary
  • Defiance Silver Corp. reported drilling results from holes DDSA-25-78 through DDSA-25-81 at its Zacatecas project on May 11, 2026.
  • Key intercepts include 1.20 m @ 356.00 g/t Ag and 2.15 g/t Au in hole DDSA-25-80.
  • Hole DDSA-25-78 returned 2.14 m @ 111.12 g/t Ag including 0.68 m @ 208.00 g/t Ag.
  • Hole DDSA-25-81 returned 2.63 m @ 111.32 g/t Ag including 0.26 m @ 543.00 g/t Ag.
  • The program has reported 4,039 metres of a planned 10,000-metre diamond drill program to date.
  • Drilling targets the San Acacio historical resource area, specifically testing Veta Grande and Veta Navidad systems.
  • Three distinct blocks (NW, Central, SE) on the main Veta Grande structure have been identified delimited by major faults.
Material Impact
  • The news is consistent with previous high-grade results released in February 2026 (e.g., 355 g/t Ag and 579 g/t Ag intercepts).
  • While grades are excellent, they do not represent a significant step-change or new discovery compared to the February "Material - Positive" releases.
  • The market has already priced in the high-grade potential of the Veta Grande structure based on prior announcements.
  • This release validates the geological model for an upcoming mineral resource estimate but does not constitute the MRE itself.
  • Given the incremental nature of follow-up drilling results within a known zone, the impact is expected to be positive but limited compared to a resource update or major financing event.
