Canasil Initial Drill Holes Intersect the Candy Vein Structure and Disseminated Silver
Mineralization at the Nora Silver-Gold Project in Durango State, Mexico
Vancouver, September 10, 2020 - Canasil Resources Inc. (TSX-V: CLZ, DB Frankfurt: 3CC, “Canasil” or the
“Company”) announces results from the initial two drill holes, NRC-20-01 and NRC-20-02, testing the Candy
vein at the Nora silver-gold project in north-central Durango State, Mexico. NRC-20-01 intersected a narrow
vein structure of 29 cm true width (TW) carrying 1.60 g/t gold, 440 g/t silver, 2.51% copper, 2.11% lead and
0.61% zinc at a vertical depth of 75 metres below surface. A 21.70-metre zone carrying anomalous silver
grades between 5 g/t and 35 g/t silver was intersected immediately above the vein intercept.
NRC-20-02, collared 100 metres SSW of NRC -20-01, intersected a wide vein structure of 4.80 metres TW
carrying 0.72 g/t Au, 21 g/t Ag, 0.10% Cu, 0.22% Pb and 0.49% Zn, including an interval of 38 cm TW carrying
1.81 g/t Au, 62 g/t Ag, 0.08% Cu, 0.12% Pb and 0.61% Zn . An upper zone of 13. 65 metres carrying
disseminated mineralization with 5 g/t to 19 g/t silver was intersected 45 metres above the Candy vein, and
a footwall section of 3.35 metres TW immediately below the vein returned 0.07 g/t Au, 8 g/t Ag, 0.04% Cu,
0.03% Pb, and 0.39% Zn. Details of the above intercepts are listed in the table below.
Drill hole NRC-20-03, targeted below NRC-20-02 has been completed to a depth of 302 metres, and NRC-20-
04 is in progress, targeted below NRC-20-01 as planned. Drilling to date within a relatively small segment of
the Candy vein has revealed details on the host rock stratigraphy, faulting and vein morphology.
Canasil President and CEO, Bahman Yamini, commented: “Cutting the Candy vein as well as zones of
disseminated silver mineralization below the historical workings in the first two drill holes at the Nora project
is an encouraging start to the drill program . The high gold, silver, copper , lead and zinc grades in the vein
intercept in NRC-20-01 are consistent with the grades from the surface samples, and the wider vein intercept
in NRC -20-02 and broader zones of disseminated silver mineralization in both drill holes suggest the
possibility of a strong mineralizing environment. We are looking forward to continued drill results from Nora
and to starting the planned drill program at La Esperanza once the Nora program is completed.”

About Nora Silver-Gold-Copper-Zinc-Lead Project, Durango State, Mexico:
The Nora project is located approximately 200 km north -west of the City of Durango, with good access and
infrastructure. The geological setting is a Tertiary -aged volcanic flow -dome complex. Gol d-silver
mineralization is hosted within two structurally-controlled epithermal veins, Candy and Nora. Mineralization
is typical of that found at many mines in the region, with gold and silver associated with galena, sulfosalt
minerals and lesser pyrite, s phalerite and chalcopyrite. There is evidence of some historical mining activity
on the Candy vein, which is exposed in discontinuous outcrops for over 900 metres . The fault structure
hosting the Candy vein has been traced for a distance of over 3 km. Samples of vein outcrop and mineral
dumps from the Candy vein returned significant gold, silver, copper, zinc and lead values. The second vein,
Nora, is found 600 metres northeast of the Candy vein and can be traced for 230 metres with widths of over
9.0 metres. Surface samples from this vein returned anomalous silver values associated with trace
sulphides, with a geochemical signature typical of the higher levels of epithermal vein systems in the region.
Historical systematic grid soil sampling over an area of 3 km by 2 km covering the Candy and Nora veins and
projected extensions, showed elevated silver, base metal (copper, lead and zinc) and pathfinder (antimony
and arsenic) values. The combination of the vein outcrops with large areas of anomalous silver and base
metal values in soil samples may indicate additional concealed mineral systems. Other major deposits in the
region include SSR Mining’s La Pitarrilla deposit located 50 km east of the Nora project.
