Canasil Outlines Initial Drill Plans to Test Silver-Gold Targets at the Nora Project
in Durango State, Mexico, and Provides Update on COVID-19 Measures
Vancouver, April 29, 20 20 - Canasil Resources Inc. ( TSX-V: CLZ , DB Frankfurt: 3CC, “Canasil” or the
“Company”) outlines plans for an initial core drill program to test silver-gold-copper-zinc-lead targets along
the Candy vein at the Nora project in north-central Durango State, Mexico. Drilling should begin after the
lifting of the COVID-19 restriction in Mexico.
Gold-silver mineralization at Nora is hosted within structurally -controlled epithermal veins. The drill sites
have been selected based on a geological review including surface sampl es collected in August 2019
(reported September 26, 2019 ), as well as available historical information. Drill sites form four sections on
the Candy vein , spaced over a strike length of 500 metres , all below high-grade silver and gold samples
from vein outcrops and rock dumps from earlier underground development. The Candy vein has not been
previously drilled, however t here has been some historical small-scale mining. W hile a ccess to the
underground workings is not possible now, w aste dumps from prior mining activity contain well -
mineralized high -grade material. Four of the planned holes, located on two sections, are targeting the
vein(s) immediately below the historical workings. Maps of the underground workings at a depth of
approximately 50m to 75m below surface indicate a second, steeper mineralized footwall structure. The
planned drill holes below the old workings will test this structure as well. The four sections selected for drill
testing are detailed below together with the related surface samples. A plan map and sections can be seen
on the Company’s website at http://www.canasil.com/news_releases/ .
Canasil President and CEO, Bahman Yamini, commented: “The Nora project presents the opportunity for
discovery of a high-grade silver-gold epithermal vein system . The project is exceptionally well located in
northern Durango State, Mexico, in a region recognized for hosting large silver-gold deposits.”

A second epithermal vein outcrop, the Nora vein, occurs 600 metres northeast of the Can dy vein with a
parallel north -south strike. The two parallel vein structu res at the Nora project and the large areas of
anomalous silver and base metal values in soil samples surrounding the veins, enhance the project’s
continuing potential.
The Company has arranged the drill contract and is standing by for resumption of explo ration activities in
Mexico following the current suspension of all non-essential operations by the Mexican government due to
the Covid-19 pandemic.
COVID-19 Update:
The Company is currently following government guidelines both in Canada and Mexico to min imize the
spread of the Covid -19 pandemic. The Company’s staff in both locations is self-isolating to minimize non -
essential contacts. All required administrative and technical functions are proceeding normally except for
direct field activities. The Mexican government issued an emergency decree on March 31, 2020, limiting or
stopping all non-essential operations, including mining and mineral exploration, until April 30, 2020. This
has now been extended until May 30, 2020 . The directive provides for a possible exemption for re-start of
certain operations located in municipalities exhibiting low, or no, cases of Covid-19 following May 18, 2020.
The Company will continue to comply with the directive, and will evaluate the opportunity to qualify for the
noted exemption, in order to resume field activities.
About Nora Silver-Gold-Copper-Zinc-Lead, 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 setti ng is a Tertiary -aged volcanic flow -dome complex. Gold -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, sphalerite and chalcopyrite. There is evidence of historical
mining activity on the Candy vein, which can be traced for over 900 metres on surface, while the host
structure is exposed in discontinuous outcrops 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 Nora
vein 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 and contained 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.
