CANADIAN SILVER HUNTER ANNOUNCES ASSAY RESULTS
Canadian Silver Hunter Inc. has released assay results from the company's recently completed trench sampling program, conducted on the company's polymetallic stockpile projects, located in Michoacan, Mexico. The program took place from Dec. 6, 2025, to Dec. 11, 2025, during the company's visit to the sites.
A total of 23 trench samples were collected and submitted for analysis, from the company's three separate stockpile properties: the ES1, EC1 and BM1, respectively. All samples were delivered to the Servicio Geologico Mexicano (SGM) lab in Oaxaca, Mexico, for multielement and fire assays. The assay results are listed in the attached table.
Historically, the various mining and processing techniques used in the past, such as high grading and hand cobbing of the silver-bearing mineralized rock, were used to extract a significant quantity of visible silver and the discarded mineralized waste rock was not processed during that period.
Canadian Silver Hunter believes that based on the recent trench sampling program, all of these stockpiles contain silver, gold, copper, lead and zinc, and that reprocessing of these stockpiles offers the company an opportunity to potentially unlock substantial metal value from these stockpiles.
Canadian Silver Hunter intends to carry out a volumetric survey to outline the potential volume/tonnages present at each stockpile site along with additional systematic sampling to determine the average polymetallic grades for each site. Concurrent with the above sampling program, the company will be collecting a composite sample for metallurgical testing.
This work will allow the company to determine a National Instrument 43-101-compliant mineral resource estimate for these stockpiles along with the completion of a future preliminary economic assessment on the viability of reprocessing of this mineralized waste rock material.
Jeff Hunter, president and chief executive officer of Canadian Silver Hunter, stated: "This initial phase of the exploration, sampling, mineral characterization and metallurgical testwork of the ES1, EC1 and BM1 stockpile material will continue to be the focus as we work towards defining a preliminary process flowsheet for the treatment of this material through a process plant."
Sampling and QA/QC (quality assurance/quality control) procedures
Sampling of each of the stockpiles consisted of digging a trench approximately 10 centimetres deep and 30 centimetres wide to remove all the accumulation of the surficial vegetation. Sampling was performed by collecting material with a shovel tip semi-continuously along the trench bottom and placing it in a plastic sample bag, which was then tagged and tied up.
At the ES1, the muck piles are the leftovers from mining by the Spanish starting over 400 years ago and are classified as low-sulphidation-type mineralization. The low-sulphidation-type mineralized veins have intruded into various Upper Cretaceous and Tertiary age rock units and altered granodiorite rocks. Numerous old mines exist in the area where mineralization was hand cobbed, with the higher grades taken out and the lower-grade material discarded.
At the EC1, the stockpile comprises material from the nearby mine, which consisted of low-sulphidation-type mineralization in veins cutting andesitic volcanic rock. Mineralization in the veins consists of sulphides of acanthite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, galena, sphalerite and gold. The higher-grade material from the underground mine was hand separated for shipping and the lower grade was dumped onto the stockpile.
The EC1 sampling was performed by taking vertical cuts of one metre along various parts of the muck pile. Sampling was done directly by taking the material and placing it into a sample, bag which was then tagged and tied up.
At the BM1 stockpile area, the mineralized material is from quartz veins cutting andesites and conglomerate rocks and contains up to a few percentages of pyrite with some chalcopyrite and malachite observed. The material in the stockpiles is from an open-cut mine nearby. The BM1 samples were collected by taking vertical cuts of various lengths within the different muck piles, placing it in a sample bag, then tagged and tied up.
QA/QC procedures included the addition of two duplicate samples to the sample sequence, all of which returned acceptable results.
Each sample was dried and then crushed to 70 per cent passing minus two millimetres and a representative one-kilogram split was taken by riffle splitting. The split was then pulverized to 85 per cent passing minus 75 microns, and approximately 150 grams were bagged and labelled, with the remainder being returned to Canadian Silver Hunter. Gold analyses were performed by 50-gram fire assay with an atomic absorption finish (method EXP-1E-003) and gravimetric assays (EXP-1E-002), respectively. Silver, copper, zinc and lead analyses were performed by four-acid aqua regia total dissolution with ICP-OES (inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy) finish performed at the Servicio Geologico Mexicano (SGM) lab in Oaxaca, Mexico. SGM is independent of Canadian Silver Hunter and is an accredited Entitad Mexicana de Accreditacio ESA lab (Q-0401-066/12).
