Diablillos

All dollar ($) figures are presented in US dollars unless otherwise stated. Base case metal prices used in the PFS are $2,050 per gold (“Au”) ounce (“oz”) and $25.50 per silver (“Ag”) oz.

PFS Study Highlights:

• Attractive project economics:  $747 million after-tax Net Present Value discounted at 5% per annum (“NPV₅%”); 27.6% Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) and 2.0-year payback period.
  • At current spot prices¹ an after-tax NPV_5% of $1,291 million with an IRR of 39.3% and payback of 1.5 years.
• Substantial silver and gold production – 13.4 Moz silver-equivalent (“AgEq”) average annual production over a 14-year life-of-mine (“LOM”), comprised of 7.6 Moz Ag and 72 koz Au, with average annual production of 16.4 Moz AgEq over the first five years of full mine production, comprised of 11.7 Moz Ag and 59 koz Au.
• Low All-in Sustaining Cash Costs (“AISC”)² – Average AISC of $12.67/oz AgEq over LOM, and $11.23/oz AgEq over the first five years of full mine production.
• Initial capital expenditures - Initial pre-production capital expenditure of $544 million (including contingency) with a further $77 million in sustaining capital over the LOM.
• Significant potential for additional economic improvements – Several additional opportunities that may further enhance the economic returns as detailed later in this release:
  • Replacement of on-site self-generation from a combined solar-diesel power plant with a connection to the national grid under a long-term power purchase agreement  from a third party. Capturing this opportunity would provide a meaningful reduction to initial capital, lower operating costs and, potentially, improve the carbon footprint of the Project.
  • A revised mine plan based on a new Mineral Resource and Reserve estimate that incorporates the additional Phase IV exploration drilling results at JAC and the northeast zone of Oculto as well as higher metal price assumptions. A new mine plan may present the opportunity to reduce strip ratio, and improve operating cashflow.
  • Expansion of available water resources to the Project to remove constraints on plant throughput resulting in increased metal production.
  • Treatment of marginal material currently classified as waste through secondary processing, such as heap leaching, resulting in increased metal production.
  • Improvements to the design of the Tailings Storage Facility (“TSF”) to reduce capital and operating cost, and also decrease the environmental footprint.

The PFS presents a range of metal pricing scenarios on an after-tax basis to evaluate the economics of both upside and downside price scenarios. The economics of Diablillos are very robust and offer significant leverage to both silver and gold prices, with an after-tax NPV_5% of $1,291 Million and an IRR of 39.3% at current spot silver and gold prices (Table 1).

Production Summary

Diablillos is designed as a conventional open-pit mining operation with mill throughput of 9,000 tonnes per day (“tpd”) and an optimized production sequence targeting high-grade silver and gold mineralization in the early years of the mine plan.  Over the 14-year mine life, the Project is expected to average annual production of 7.6 Moz silver and 72 koz gold, with an average of 11.7 Moz silver and 59 koz gold over the first five years of full mine production (Table 2 and Figure 1).  The robust production profile in the initial years underlines the Project’s efficiency and strong cash-flow generation potential. 

The processing plant has been designed for a nameplate capacity of 9,000 tpd, or 3.15 million tonnes per annum (“tpa”) considering 350 days a year of operation.  A conventional silver/gold processing plant flowsheet was developed that incorporates crushing, grinding, gravity concentration, an intense cyanidation circuit, cyanide leaching with oxygen addition, counter current decantation washing thickeners and Merrill-Crowe precious metal recovery from solution followed by on-site smelting to doré bars. The leached solids are detoxified, thickened, and pumped to a TSF for permanent disposal.

Metallurgical test work has been carried out in a range of different laboratories between 1996 and 2023 and all the results have been considered as part of the PFS. A geo-metallurgical model has been developed segregating the deposit into five distinct domains, with overall LOM silver and gold recoveries averaging 83.6% and 86.8%, respectively. 

Tailings from the process plant will be stored in a multi-phase, fully lined, cross valley TSF. The facility will be raised using the downstream method with the initial starter impoundment, constructed from borrow material and open pit pre-strip waste, providing storage for the first three years of production.

Operating Costs

The operating cost estimates are based on an owner-operated truck and shovel mining operation, conventional processing plant, and TSF with power provided from an on-site combined solar-diesel power plant.

The PFS operating cost estimates are shown on a per tonne milled basis in Table 3. The PFS estimates that the AISC averages $11.23/oz AgEq the first five years of production, and $12.67/oz AgEq over the LOM.  This AISC is believed to be at the low end of the primary silver production cost curve².

Table 3 – Mine Operating Cost Estimates 

Operating Costs	Basis	Avg. LOM ($)
Mining (ore and waste)	per tonne milled	14.50
Processing Plant, Utilities and Maintenance	per tonne milled	22.71
Camp and Service Hub	per tonne milled	4.29
G&A and Logistics	per tonne milled	3.91
Total Operating Cost	per tonne milled	45.42

Project Capital Costs 

The initial pre-production capital expenditures for the Project are summarized in Table 4. Capital expenditures to be incurred after the start-up of operations are assigned to sustaining capital and are projected to be covered by operating cash flows. Initial capital costs are estimated at $544 million including contingency and total sustaining capital costs are estimated at $77 million. Approximately 80% of the costs are based on quoted prices and this has resulted in a lower estimated contingency cost of $26 million. Over 60% of equipment, supplies, construction, and service procurement packages will be sourced from local companies, complying with local regulations.

Total Capital Costs	646.4	449.6	44%	196.8

Taxes and Royalties

The PFS incorporates the impact of Argentina’s recently enacted RIGI legislation designed to stimulate new large-scale investments.   Under this framework, the Company expects a competitive fiscal regime, with key rates as follows:

• Argentina corporate income tax: 25%
• Municipal taxes: 1.2%
• Stamp Tax 1.6%
• Provincial mining royalty: 3%
• Export duties: 0%

In total, the updated taxes, royalties and export duties total $536 million in the PFS, compared to $965 million under the Prior PFS. Additionally, the RIGI program provides benefits such as the removal of all foreign exchange restrictions, value-added tax (VAT) reimbursement on capital expenditures, and tax stability for the life of mine.

A 1% NSR royalty is payable to EMX Royalty Corporation.

Mineral Reserve Estimate – As of March 07, 2024

The Table below shows the Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves at Diablillos by deposit. The Mineral Reserves were estimated using a silver price of $22.50/oz and a gold price of $1,750/oz.

Diablillos Mineral Reserve Estimate

Mineral Reserve (all domains)	Tonnage (000 t)	Au (g/t)	Ag (g/t)	AgEq (g/t)	Contained Ag (koz)	Contained Au (koz)	Contained AgEq (koz)
Proven	12,364	0.86	177.7	246	46,796	341	97,839
Probable	29,930	0.80	79.7	143	76,684	766	136,267
Total Proven and Probable	42,294	0.81	90.8	154	123,480	1,107	209,619

Notes for Mineral Reserve Estimate:

1. Mineral reserves have an effective date of March 07, 2024.
2. The Qualified Person for the Mineral Reserve Estimate is Mr. Miguel Fuentealba, P.Eng.
3. The mineral reserves were estimated using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Reserves, as prepared by the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions and adopted by CIM Council.
4. The mineral reserves were based on a pit design which in turn aligned with an ultimate pit shell selected from a WhittleTM pit optimization exercise. Key inputs for that process are:
   • Metal prices of U$S 1,750/oz Au; U$S 22.50/oz Ag
   • Variable Mining cost by bench and material type. Average costs are U$S 1.94/t for all lithologies except for “cover” Cover mining cost of U$U 1.73/t, respectively.
   • Processing costs for all zone, U$S 22.97/t.
   • Infrastructure and G&A cost of U$S 3.32/t.
   • Pit average slope angles varying from 37° to 60°
   • The average recovery is estimated to be 82.6% for silver and 86.5% for gold.
5. The Mineral Reserve Estimate has been categorized in accordance with the CIM Definition Standards (CIM, 2014).
6. A Net Value per block (“NVB”) cut-off was used to constrain the Mineral Reserve with the reserve pitshell. The NVB was based on "Benefits = Revenue-Cost" being positive, where, Revenue = [(Au Selling Price (US$/oz) - Au Selling Cost (US$/oz)) x (Au grade (g/t)/31.1035)) x Au Recovery (%)] + [(Ag Selling Price (US$/oz) - Ag Selling Cost (US$/oz)) x (Ag grade (g/t)/31.1035)) x Ag Recovery (%)] and Cost = Mining Cost (US$/t) + Process Cost (US$/t) + Transport Cost (US$/t) + G&A Cost (US$/t) + [Royalty Cost (%) x Revenue]. The NVB method resulted in an average equivalent cut-off grade of approximately 46g/t AgEq.
7. In-situ bulk density was read from the block model, assigned previously to each model domain during the process of mineral resource estimation, according to samples averages of each lithology domain, separated by alteration zones and subset by oxidation.
8. All tonnages reported are dry metric tonnes and ounces of contained gold are troy ounces.
9. Mining recovery and dilution factors have not been applied to the Mineral Resource estimates.

1. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and have not demonstrated economic viability.
2. The formula for calculating AgEq is as follows: Silver Eq Oz = Silver Oz + Gold Oz x (Gold Price/Silver Price) x (Gold Recovery/Silver Recovery).
3. The Mineral Resource model was populated using Ordinary Kriging grade estimation within a three-dimensional block model and mineralized zones defined by wireframed solids, which are a combination of lithology and alteration domains.  The 1m composite grades were capped where appropriate.
4. The Mineral Resource is reported inside a conceptual Whittle open pit shell derived using US$ 34.50/oz Ag price, US $3,200/oz Au price, 86.6% process recovery for Au, and 80.9% process recovery for Ag, for the tank leaching and 74.3% process recovery for Au, and 46.8% process recovery for Ag, for the secondary heap leaching.
5. Open pit optimization was constrained using a dual-process approach, with tank leaching as the primary process (total opex of US$32.30/t) and heap leaching as the secondary process (total opex of US$7.00/t).
6. The MRE has been categorized in accordance with the CIM Definition Standards (CIM, 2014).
7. A Net Value per block [NVB] calculation was used to constrain the Mineral Resource, determine the "Benefits = Income-Cost", where, Income = [(Au Selling Price (US$/oz) - Au Selling Cost (USD/Oz)) x (Au grade (g/t)/31.1035)) x Au Recovery (%)] + [(Ag Selling Price (US$/oz) - Ag Selling Cost (USD/Oz)) x (Ag grade (g/t)/31.1035)) x Ag Recovery (%)] and Cost = Mining Cost (US$/t) + Process Cost (US$/t) + Transport Cost (US$/t) + G&A Cost (US$/t) + [Royalty Cost (%) x Income]
8. The Mineral Resource is sub-horizontal with sub-vertical feeders and has a reasonable prospect for eventual economic extraction by open pit methods.
9. In-situ bulk densities were assigned to each model domain, according to samples averages for each lithology domain, separated by alteration zones and subset by oxidation.
10. All tonnages reported are dry metric tonnes and ounces of contained gold are troy ounces.
11. Mining recovery and dilution factors have not been applied to the Mineral Resource estimates.
12. The Mineral Resource was estimated by Luis Rodrigo Peralta, B.Sc., FAusIMM CP (Geo), an INSA Consultora Managing Principal Geologist, and an Independent Qualified Person under NI 43-101.
13. Mr. Peralta is not aware of any environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues that could materially affect the potential development of the Mineral Resource.
14. All figures are rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimates. Minor discrepancies may occur due to rounding to appropriate significant figures.

Updated Tank Leach Mineral Resource Demonstrates Strong Growth at Core Deposits

The updated tank leach MRE reflects continued expansion across the core Oculto and JAC deposits, supported by recent drilling that has improved both scale and confidence in the resource.

• Oculto: M&I MRE tonnage increased by 45%, with contained silver up 15% and gold up 31%.   This substantial increase was driven by infill drilling to connect gaps in the MRE blocks and drilling to expand the margins of the resource.
• JAC: M&I MRE increased by 13% in tonnage, with contained silver rising 12% and contained gold up 20%.  This increase was also driven by infill drilling to connect gaps in resource blocks and drilling to expand the margins of the mineralization.
• Fantasma, Laderas and Sombra:   All satellite deposits recorded meaningful increases in tonnage and contained metal, supported by a combination of additional drilling and updated economic assumptions.

Heap Leach Mineral Resource Estimate

The updated MRE includes a significantly expanded heap leach component, representing a large inventory of lower-grade mineralization that was not previously fully captured within the block model. The increase in heap leach mineralization reflects a combination of:

• Higher long-term gold and silver price assumptions, improving economic cut-off thresholds.
• Improved geological continuity within broader mineralized domains.
• Updated processing assumptions incorporating a dual-flow sheet approach.

A potential secondary heap leach processing circuit will be evaluated under a PEA and presented with the DFS results by the end of Q2. The heap leach project will be an expansion to the tank leach operation and will be evaluated based on potential construction after the tank leach circuit is operational. The heap leach operation has the potential to convert some of the open pit waste into payable mineralization and effectively lower the future strip ratio.  The company intends to present the PEA within the same NI 43-101 Technical Report as the DFS.

Notes for July 2026 MRE (Heap Leach Material):

1. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and have not demonstrated economic viability.
2. The formula for calculating AgEq is as follows: Silver Eq Oz = Silver Oz + Gold Oz x (Gold Price/Silver Price) x (Gold Recovery/Silver Recovery).
3. The Mineral Resource model was populated using Ordinary Kriging grade estimation within a three-dimensional block model and mineralized zones defined by wireframed solids, which are a combination of lithology and alteration domains.  The 1m composite grades were capped where appropriate.
4. The Mineral Resource is reported inside a conceptual Whittle open pit shell derived using US$ 34.50/oz Ag price, US $3,200/oz Au price, 86.6% process recovery for Au, and 80.9% process recovery for Ag, for the primary process tank leaching and 74.3% process recovery for Au, and 46.8% process recovery for Ag, for the secondary process heap leaching.
5. Open pit optimization was constrained using a dual-process approach, with tank leaching as the primary process (total opex of US$32.30/t) and heap leaching as the secondary process (total opex of US$7.00/t).
6. The MRE has been categorized in accordance with the CIM Definition Standards (CIM, 2014).
7. A Net Value per block [NVB] calculation was used to constrain the Mineral Resource, determine the "Benefits = Income-Cost", where, Income = [(Au Selling Price (US$/oz) - Au Selling Cost (USD/Oz)) x (Au grade (g/t)/31.1035)) x Au Recovery (%)] + [(Ag Selling Price (US$/oz) - Ag Selling Cost (USD/Oz)) x (Ag grade (g/t)/31.1035)) x Ag Recovery (%)] and Cost = Mining Cost (US$/t) + Process Cost (US$/t) + Transport Cost (US$/t) + G&A Cost (US$/t) + [Royalty Cost (%) x Income].
8. The Mineral Resource is sub-horizontal with sub-vertical feeders and a reasonable prospect for eventual economic extraction by open pit methods.
9. In-situ bulk density was assigned to each model domain, according to samples averages for each lithology domain, separated by alteration zones and subset by oxidation.
10. All tonnages reported are dry metric tonnes and ounces of contained gold are troy ounces.
11. Mining recovery and dilution factors have not been applied to the Mineral Resource estimates.
12. The Mineral Resource was estimated by Luis Rodrigo Peralta, B.Sc., FAusIMM CP (Geo), an INSA Consultora Managing Principal Geologist, and an Independent Qualified Person under NI 43-101.
13. Mr. Peralta is not aware of any environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues that could materially affect the potential development of the Mineral Resource.
14. All figures are rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimates. Minor discrepancies may occur due to rounding to appropriate significant figures.

Significant Exploration Upside Remains  

Diablillos continues to demonstrate strong potential for further Mineral Resource growth, both within and beyond the current footprint.  Key target areas include:

• Oculto East: based on recent drill results, the robust gold-dominant mineralization at Oculto East within which there are higher grade zones, extends well beyond the conceptual open pit margin. This remains the top priority target area for further expanding Mineral Resources.
• Oculto-JAC connection: recent drilling has shown that there is potential to expand the high-grade silver mineralization in the Oculto-JAC area, as well as potential for additional mineralized zones north of the JAC zone, extending southwest from Oculto.
• Sombra: the Mineral Resource at the Sombra zone has potential to continue north-eastwards along a magnetic anomaly zone to connect with the Oculto deposit and be incorporated in the Oculto conceptual open pit.
• Cerro Viejo: a major zone hosting gold bearing silicified rock extends for over 1 km westwards from the previously drilled area at Cerro Viejo. Channel sampling with anomalous to high grade gold values will be followed up by reconnaissance drilling aimed at defining a shallow epithermal gold resource.

The fully funded Phase VI drill program includes approximately 15,000 m of drilling, with results expected to support a future Mineral Resource update in early 2027.  

Mineral Resource Estimate Methodology

• The tank leach open pit constrained updated MRE for Diablillos is based on a Net Value per Block methodology that results in an approximate cut-off grade of 39 g/t AgEq, derived from assumptions regarding specified metal prices and estimated operating costs for mining, processing and G&A.
• The heap leach updated MRE has also employed a Net Value per Block method that results in a cut-off grade of approximately 15 g/t AgEq.  This is based on a lower cost heap leaching metal recovery process for lower-grade mineralisation within the conceptual open pit, complementing the primary tank leaching process.
• The updated MRE was prepared by Luis Rodrigo Peralta, B.Sc., FAusIMM CP (Geo), an INSA Consultora Managing Principal Geologist, and an independent Qualified Person under National Instrument NI 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”), and in accordance with Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”) Definition Standards incorporated, by reference, and in compliance with NI 43-101 and has been reviewed internally by AbraSilver.
• The updated MRE incorporates 170,368 m of drilling from 790 drill holes (both historical and current).
• The updated MRE is based on the Oculto, JAC, Fantasma, Laderas and Sombra deposits within the broader Diablillos property, reported within a constraining Whittle open pit shell.  The cut-off grade was determined using a Net Value per Block calculation, factoring in the economic parameters outlined in the Supporting Technical Disclosure section below.
• Gold and silver grades were estimated into the block model using RC and Diamond Drill Holes (DDH), including drilling completed up to December 31, 2025. Industry-standard estimation methodologies were applied, including Ordinary Kriging (OK) and validation against an Inverse Distance squared estimate (ID2). Drill hole intervals were composited to a length of 1 m, which is the average sampling length for core sampling.
• Grade capping was applied to composited grade intervals on a case-by-case basis for each estimation domain. Domains were defined by a combination of lithology, alteration, and oxide / sulphides state, resulting in a total of 35 estimation domains for gold and silver.

Supporting Technical Disclosure

• Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
• The tank leach and heap leach updated MREs are constrained by the same optimized Whittle open pit and incorporate identical geological and structural constraints; the tank leach updated MRE contains 102 Mt of M&I within a total of 705 Mt of waste, while the heap leach updated MRE reclassifies part of this waste as sufficiently mineralized to meet reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction, resulting in 130 Mt of M&I.
• Individual metals are reported at 100% of in-situ grades.
• The effective date of the updated MRE is April 30, 2026, and is based on drilling through December 31, 2025.
• There are no known legal, political, environmental, or other risks that could materially affect the potential development of the updated MRE.
• Key Assumptions are outlined below (all figures are in US dollars unless otherwise noted):
  • Commodity prices used were $ 34.50/oz Ag price and $3,200/oz Au price
  • Note: Commodity price assumptions were guided by the NI 43-101 requirement for the updated MRE to have 'reasonable prospects' of eventual economic extraction. 
• Metallurgical recoveries: tank leach metallurgical recoveries applied to the updated MRE were obtained from a geo-metallurgical model that has been built, based on metallurgical testwork performed at SGS Canada. This model incorporates five domains applied to the block model, using a master composite for each, based on approximately 15 samples per domain. A fixed value of metallurgical recovery has been applied to each domain. Overall average of these five domains is 86.6% for gold and 80.9% for silver, respectively.
• Metallurgical recoveries: heap leach metallurgical recoveries were obtained from a preliminary bottle roll test work campaign on the lower grade mineralization, based on the same geo-metallurgical domains used for the tank leaching process. Recovery assumptions of 74.4% for gold and 46.8% for silver were used.
• Operating cost assumptions used in the Whittle open pit optimization: mining costs of $2.23/t; tank leach processing costs of $23.84/t and G&A costs of $6.51/t. For the heap leach an overall processing cost of $7.00/t has been estimated.
• Open pit slopes: Open pit shell slope angles applied are based on 2024 geotechnical drilling and modelling. Eight geotechnical sectors have been defined with the average overall angle for the open pit shell optimization being 44 degrees.
• A Net Value per block [NVB] calculation was used to constrain the updated MRE, determine the "Benefits = Income-Cost", where, Income = [(Au Selling Price (US$/oz) - Au Selling Cost (USD/Oz)) x (Au grade (g/t)/31.1035)) x Au Recovery (%)] + [(Ag Selling Price (US$/oz) - Ag Selling Cost (USD/Oz)) x (Ag grade (g/t)/31.1035)) x Ag Recovery (%)] and Cost = Mining Cost (US$/t) + Process Cost (US$/t) + Transport Cost (US$/t) + G&A Cost (US$/t) + [Royalty Cost (%) x Income].
• The formula for calculating AgEq is as follows: Silver Eq Oz = Silver Oz + Gold Oz x (Gold Price/Silver Price) x (Gold Recovery/Silver Recovery).

QA/QC and Core Sampling Protocols

AbraSilver applies industry standard exploration methodologies and techniques, and all drill core samples are collected under the supervision of the Company’s geologists in accordance with industry best practices. Drill core is transported from the drill platform to the logging facility where drill data is compared and verified with the core in the trays. Thereafter, it is logged, photographed, and split by diamond saw prior to being sampled. Samples are then bagged, and quality control materials are inserted at regular intervals at site; these include blanks and certified reference materials as well as duplicate core samples which are collected to assess sampling precision and reproducibility. Groups of samples are then placed in large bags which are sealed with numbered tags to maintain a chain-of-custody during the transport of the samples from the project site to the laboratory.

All samples are received by the ASA (Alex Stewart Argentina) preparation laboratory in Salta, where they are prepared, then the pulp sachet is directly dispatched to its facility in Mendoza, Argentina, where they are analyzed. All samples are analyzed using a multi-element technique consisting of a four-acid digestion followed by ICP/AES detection, and gold is analyzed by 50g Fire Assay with an AAS finish. Silver results greater than 100g/t are re-analyzed using four acid digestions with an ore grade AAS finish.

Significant Exploration Upside Potential  

There remains substantial potential to further expand the Diablillos Mineral Resource estimate within the existing deposits, particularly at Oculto East.  Ongoing and planned drilling is aimed at both step-out exploration and defining new high-grade zones to extend the current Mineral Resources.   The Company is advancing its fully-funded Phase V drill program, which includes an additional 20,000 metres of drilling scheduled for completion by early 2026. 

Existing Deposits:

• Oculto: Ongoing exploration is focused on extending known zones of mineralization, particularly towards the northeast, where Oculto East represents a key growth opportunity.   Results from recently announced hole DDH 25-024, with 31m @ 9.96g/t Au and 16.2g/t Ag, show the very high-grade gold potential of the Oculto East area, and follow up drilling is underway with three rigs. Geological interpretation has identified several structures in the area with high-grade gold potential.
• JAC: Upcoming drilling will test the margins of the conceptual constraining open pit where mineralization remains open.
• Sombra: An initial Mineral Resource has now been established, and additional drilling is planned to expand this new discovery.  The mineralized zone is very shallow, covered by unconsolidated colluvium, and is open along strike. Drilling was postponed here following the high-grade gold intercept at Oculto East, which became the priority exploration area.

Diablillos Porphyry Complex:

• Cerro Viejo:   The shallow intercept of 36.0m at 1.91 g/t gold in hole DDH 24-056 in the root zone of epithermal mineralization at Cerro Viejo is scheduled for follow-up drilling later this year. Mapping has shown that gold mineralized silicified zones extend significantly towards the west of hole DDH 24-056.
• Cerro Blanco: This is the highest priority area for porphyry style mineralization based on shallow historical Reverse Circulation (“RC”) drill results and surface rock chip sampling of a mineralized breccia zone. The area has been mapped in detail and surface sampling completed in preparation for a deeper drilling program expected to commence before the end of August 2025.

Over  170,000 meters of drilling has been completed at Diablillos to date, supporting the rapid growth of the Project into one of the world's largest undeveloped primary silver resources.
