DEFIANCE CLOSES ACQUISITION OF MAG SILVER
HOLDINGS
FOR RELEASE: June 25, 2018 TSXV: DEF
OTC: DNCVF
Defiance Silver Corp. (“Defiance”) is pleased to announce that it has completed its acquisition of
MAG Silver Corp.’s (“MAG”) Zacatecas Silver District holdings and its regional exploration
database covering 135,000ha (see News Release dated June 13, 2018) . As consideration for the
sale, Defiance issued 5,000,000 shares to MAG. The shares are subject to an eighteen month
hold period ending December 22, 2019. When necessary, MAG agrees to vote its shares owned
in accordance with the recommendations of the management of Defiance.
“We are very pleased to have closed this transact ion with MAG Silver , and further expand our
presence in the Zacatecas Silver District”, stated Peter J. Hawley, President and CEO. “ With
significant exploration potential at the San Acacio project, w e look forward to continuing our
examination and interpretation of the large regional exploration database.”
The Lagartos Project consists of 14 concessions totaling approximately 800 hectares . In
addition, Defiance will also receive a database covering an additional 135,000 hectares in the
Zacatecas silver d istrict providing the opportunity to acquire further concessions. All of the
Lagartos concessions are located within the Zacatecas silver district, which has produced an
estimated billion ounces of silver, principally before 1895. Zacatecas lies along the “Fresnillo
Silver Trend” a regional structural zone that has yielded over 5 billion ounces of silver. The four
largest districts along the trend; Guanajuato, Zacatecas, Sombrerete and Fresnillo are all
characterized by multiple sets of parallel silver -gold veins with high -grade oreshoots located
periodically along their lengths. The Zacatecas District is characterized by six major sets of such
parallel veins. This consolidation gives Defiance control of over 65% of the Veta Grande vein,
which historically produced a significant amount of silver within the district. A number of the
other newly acquired Lagartos concessions lie along other important vein systems in the
Zacatecas Silver District including: the Malanoche vein system currently being mined by
Capstone Mining Corp.; the Cantera - El Bote vein system; and the Panuco vein system
controlled by Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. and Pan American Silver Corp. It is believed that all
the known deposits were found in outcrop 350 to 500 years ago, while new vein systems remain
to be discovered.
