SILVER STORM COMMENCES 6,000 METRE DRILLING CAMPAIGN AT LA PARRILLA
SILVER MINE COMPLEX
Silver Storm Mining Ltd. has commenced underground drilling at its 100-per-cent-owned La Parrilla silver mine complex, located 76 kilometres southeast of Durango, Mexico.
Greg McKenzie, president and chief executive officer, commented: "The Silver Storm team is excited to have drilling
under way again at La Parrilla. This initial phase is designed to support the current internal mine plan
by increasing the indicated and inferred resource base as we advance toward the potential restart
of operations at La Parrilla in the second quarter of 2026. The team is also planning surface exploration
programs to be initiated in 2026 on seven target areas within the La Parrilla concessions."
The 6,000-metre underground drilling program will focus on exploration stepout and infill drilling
in support of the development anticipated by the company at the Quebradillas, San Marcos and
Rosarios mines in the La Parrilla complex:
-
Quebradillas mine -- 3,500 metres of drilling on the C460, C550, Norte Sur, La Estrella and San
Nicolas zones: The C460 zone comprises a sulphide replacement body concordant to
bedding, striking north-northwest over a known strike length of 460 metres and a vertical extent of 500 metres, with a
thickness of up to 8.5 metres. Drilling will test the southern strike and depth extension of C460. The
C550, Norte Sur, La Estrella and San Nicolas zones are sulphide-bearing fault veins and
breccias often with replacement bodies developed on the footwall and hangingwall of the fault
zone. Drilling will explore the strike and downdip extensions of these zones.
-
San Marcos mine -- 1,000 metres of drilling on the San Marcos and C1100 zones: The San Marcos
zone comprises fault-vein oxide mineralization, striking north-northwest over a known strike length
of 700 metres and a vertical extent of 350 metres, with a thickness of up to 17 metres. It is the main source of oxide
mineralization. Drilling will be focused on the near-surface and middle levels of the mine. The
C1100 zone comprises sulphide-bearing fault-vein mineralization, striking northwest over a
known strike length of 500 metres and a vertical extent of 430 metres, with a thickness of up to 1.5 metres. Drilling
will test the zone at depth below historical development.
-
Rosarios mine -- 1,500 metres of drilling on the Rosarios and RRFW zones: The Rosarios zone comprises fault-vein sulphide mineralization developed as stockwork or replacement zones
on the footwall and hangingwall of the vein. Rosarios strikes west-northwest over a known strike length
of 1.75 kilometres and a vertical extent of 900 metres, with a thickness of up to 14 metres. Drilling will be
focused on the central and western extensions of the zone. The RRFW zones are five subparallel
fault structures lying within the western footwall of the Rosarios zone that are generally
characterized by sulphide breccias and replacement zones, which have known strike lengths
varying from 150 to 490 metres over vertical extents between 200 and 270 metres.
An additional 4,000 metres of drilling have been proposed as a follow-up to this initial program as mine
development progresses following the potential restart of operations. The company looks forward to
sharing the results of this initial phase of drilling as soon as the assay results are available.
The geology team is in the process of planning surface exploration and drilling programs on the
Rosarios C340 West Extension, 14 Marcos, La Ilusion Argenis, Quebradillas Open Pit, San Marcos
North, San Marcos Vacas Gap and Vacas South targets. Further information on these
surface exploration programs will be provided when planning and permitting are finalized.
