Cascada Commences Mina Gaunaca Phase 1 Drill Program

Toronto, Ontario, August 28 , 2024 – Cascada Silver Corp. (CSE:CSS) ("Cascada") is

pleased to announce th at drilling has commenced at its Mina Guanaca Copper Property

(“Mina Guanaca”) located 110 kilometres northeast of the City of Copiapó, Region III, Chil e.

Cascada has an option to earn a 100% interest in Mina Guanaca.

“We are excited to get the drill turning at Mina Guanaca,” said Carl Hansen, CEO of Cascada.

“The primary objective of the 1,200-metre, Phase 1 reverse circulation drill program is to test

the down dip extension of the extensive copper oxide mineralization exposed in the Mina

Guanaca open pit . The program will also test an induced polarization chargeability low ,

located 200 to 300 metres beneath the open pit , which may be associated with copper

porphyry mineralization. Three drill holes ranging from 250 to 300 meters have been planned

with additional holes to be collared based upon visual results from the initial drilling. Assays

from the Phase 1 program should be available during October 2024.”

Three limited historical drill programs (1,550 metres) have been reported from Mina Guanaca

with the majority of the drilling completed in the immediate area of the open pit. Highlights

from the historical drilling include:

• 82 metres grading 0.91% total Cu, 0.67% soluble Cu (hole SE1, Empresa Nacional

de Mineria, 1994);

• 41 metres grading 2.3% total Cu (hole ST2, C.M. San Andrés C.M., 1995); and

• 56 metres grading 0.82% total Cu, 0.64% soluble Cu (hole GR5, Sociedad Legal

Minera Guanaca Una de Sierra Vicuña, 2020).

Further details of results from the historical Mina Guanaca exploration programs can be found

in Cascada’s June 8, 2023 press release.
