Executive Summary

  • Defiance Silver reports high‑grade silver intercepts from five drill holes (DDSA‑25‑73 to DDSA‑25‑77), representing 2,553 m of a planned 10,000 m diamond‑drill program.
  • Notable intervals include: 3.55 m @ 355.32 g/t Ag, 3.07 m @ 579.27 g/t Ag (including 0.55 m @ 2,120 g/t Ag), and 3.01 m @ 262.88 g/t Ag (with 0.37 m @ 1,965 g/t Ag).
  • Results confirm lateral and vertical continuity of the Veta Grande silver system and support an upcoming mineral resource estimate for the San Acacio district.

Key Details

  • Program Scope: 10,000 m diamond‑drill program launched 12 Sep 2025; 2,553 m reported here (5 holes).
  • Hole DDSA‑25‑76:
  • 3.55 m @ 355.32 g/t Ag (176.38–179.93 m) within a 22.57 m interval grading 102.91 Ag/t (179.93–198.95 m).
  • 3.07 m @ 579.27 g/t Ag (209.15–212.22 m), including 0.55 m @ 2,120 g/t Ag (starting at 209.15 m).
  • Wider interval: 10.65 m @ 210.70 g/t Ag (209.15–219.80 m).
  • Hole DDSA‑25‑77:
  • 3.01 m @ 262.88 g/t Ag (286.18–289.19 m).
  • Included 1.75 m @ 431.58 g/t Ag and 0.37 m @ 1,965 g/t Ag.
  • Overall 6.77 m interval grading 128.69 g/t Ag (286.18–292.95 m).
  • Hole DDSA‑25‑75:
  • 2.35 m @ 298.58 g/t Ag (255.17–257.52 m).
  • Contains 0.36 m @ 1,595 g/t Ag; 5.20 m interval grading 149.25 g/t Ag (252.32–257.52 m).
  • Hole DDSA‑25‑73 & DDSA‑25‑74: Re‑entries of historic holes; intercepted Veta Grande structure but no >100 ppm Ag results.
  • Geological Context: Intercepts validate the Veta Grande structural model, delineate three blocks (NW, Central, SE) bounded by San José and San Genaro fault systems.
  • QA/QC: One blank, one standard, one duplicate per 20 samples; analyses performed by ALS Chemex Laboratories using multi‑element ICP‑MS and fire‑assay for Au. No analytical issues identified.
  • Forward‑Looking Statements: Results support upcoming mineral resource estimate; forward‑looking information subject to risks (e.g., concession reinstatement, political factors).

Notable Quotes

“High‑grade results over wide widths were encountered in Holes DDSA‑25‑75, 25‑76 and 25‑77, confirming the continuity of the Veta Grande system and providing a strong basis for our forthcoming resource estimate.” – Chris Wright, Chairman of the Board
