Silver Viper begins drilling at La Virginia

Executive Summary

• Silver Viper Minerals Corp. has launched a 5,000‑metre diamond drill program at its La Virginia gold‑silver project in Sonora, Mexico.
• The initial phase targets the newly identified El Molino target with eight to nine reconnaissance holes, followed by drilling at the established El Rubi zone to update and expand the existing resource.
• The program is intended to generate new discoveries while strengthening the current resource base, positioning the company for future deeper‑drill campaigns.
