FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Silver Dollar Acquires 100% of Nora Silver-Gold
Property and Provides Project Update
The Company is fully funded to continue target development on the property.
VANCOUVER, BC – February 8, 2024 – Silver Dollar Resources Inc. (CSE: SLV) (OTCQX:
SLVDF) (FSE: 4YW) (“Silver Dollar” or the “Company”) announces that it has acquired a
100% interest in Canasil Resources Inc.’s (“ Canasil”) Nora property located in Durango State,
Mexico pursuant to the terms of the Nora option agreement (the “Nora Option Agreement ”),
previously announced on April 20, 2023.
Figure 1: Location of Nora property and other mines and deposits in the region.
The Nora property is situated in the Eastern Sierra Madre sub-province, in the transition to the high
plateau of Mexico, the property lies centrally within the "Silver Trend" that runs from the northwest
to the southeast through Durango State. Significant deposits in the region include Endeavour
Silver's Guanaceví mine and Fresnillo's San Julián mine on-trend to the northwest, with Endeavour
Silver's Pitarrilla Project approximately 50 kilometres (km) to the east. Pitarrilla is one of the largest
undeveloped silver deposits in the world and was discovered by Perry Durning and Frank (Bud)
Hillemeyer, who serve as Silver Dollar's technical advisors.
In connection with the acquisition of the Nora property, Canasil waived certain obligations of Silver
Dollar under the Nora Option Agreement on the basis that Silver Dollar encountered certain
unresolved discrepancies in verifying the 2020 and 2021 drill results Canasil reported on the Nora
property.
While analyzing and relogging drill core as part of its drill target development, Silver Dollar re-
assayed select core intervals from Canasil’s previous drilling. A total of 161 core samples, plus 16
standards and blanks, were submitted to ActLabs in Zacatecas. This included 157 duplicates of the
original core samples from drill holes NRC-20-01, NRC-20-04, NRC-20-06, NRC-21-09, NRC-
21-10, NRC-21-11, and NRC-21-12. The ActLabs check assay values received for lead, zinc and
copper closely mirror the original assay values Canasil received from ALS Global in Vancouver;
however, the gold and silver values are significantly lower as follows:
For gold: of the 157 samples duplicated, Canasil reported 42 samples >1 g/t Au (1.23 – 43.7
g/t) including 18 samples >5 g/t (5.3 – 43.7 g/t), whereas Silver Dollar’s re-assaying yielded
only three samples >1 g/t Au (1.04, 1.75, and 2.30 g/t).
For silver: of the 157 samples duplicated, Canasil reported 44 samples >200 g/t Ag (133 -1,924
g/t) including 19 samples >500 g/t Ag (504 – 1,925 g/t), whereas Silver Dollar’s re-assaying
yielded only three samples >100 g/t Ag (129, 158, and 448 g/t).
The QPs from both companies discussed the si tuation and recommended a further analytical
program be carried out to provide some insight into what may have caused the assay discrepancies.
However, Canasil did not have the financial resources to contribute to the recommended program
and alternatively offered to waive certain of Silver Dollar’s consideration obligations under the
Nora Option Agreement and transfer 100% ownership of the Nora property to Silver Dollar for the
consideration that has been provided to date (as detailed below), subject to a 2% net smelter returns
royalty (the “Royalty”) with Silver Dollar having the right to buy back 1% of the Royalty for
$1,000,000. As of the date hereof, Silver Dollar has incurred a total of approximately $134,779 in
exploration expenditures on the Nora property, as full consideration for the acquisition thereof.
Silver Dollar is not required to provide any further consideration to Can asil to complete th e
acquisition and the transfer of the Nora concessions to Silver Dollar has been initiated.
The Company previously reported selected highlights from Canasil’s 2020 and 2021 drilling
programs on the Nora property, which included the discrepancies noted above, in its news releases
of May 24, 2023, June 20, 2023, and August 1, 2023, on its website, in its material change report
dated April 20, 2023, and its Management’s Discussion and Analysis of May 31, 2023. In addition
to containing discrepancies, the Company has determined that the disclosure did not conform to
National Instrument 43-101 standards and should not be relied upon . Accordingly, the Company
retracts the non-compliant prior disclosure of results from Canasil’s 2020 and 2021 drilling
programs in respect of the Nora property from its disclosure record.
“Although the assay discrepancies from the Candy vein drill core are puzzling, the Nora property
has other priority exploration targets that we intend to follow up on while we take a closer look at
the Candy vein structure,” said Michael Romanik, president of Silver Dollar.
Mike Kilbourne, P.Geo., an independent Qualified Person (QP) as defined in NI 43 -101, has
reviewed and approved the technical contents of this news release on behalf of the Company. The
QP and the Company ha ve not completed sufficient work to verify the information on the Nora
property, particularly regarding historical exploration, neighbouring companies, and government
geological work.
