Defiance Commences Exploration at San Acacio Silver Project

Exploration Programs

DEFIANCE COMMENCES EXPLORATION AT SAN ACACIO

SILVER PROJECT

FOR RELEASE: JULY 20th, 2020 TSXV: DEF

OTC: DNCVF

Defiance Silver Corp. (“Defiance” or the “ Company”) is pleased to announce that it is

resuming its aggressive field program that includes core re -logging, surface and

underground mapping, geochemistry and surface diamond drilling. To ensure the health and

safety of its employees, contractors, consultants, and the local community, the C ompany is

adopting and integrating rigorous health and safet y proced ures to protect worker and

community exposure risk.

Chris Wright, Executive Chairman & CEO, commented: “ In the past four months of remote

work, and in conjunction with our previous exploration, our understanding of the underlying

mineral systems at our Zacatecas projects has advanced and evolved considerably. Our

geological model has defined a large number of targets outside of our main resource along

the Veta Grande vein that we are preparing for drill testing. After receiving approval from

the Federal Government of Mexico, we are excited to resume field operations at our Mexico

projects with the safety of our team and the local community being the Company’s number

one priority.”

The company previously announced on May 29 th, 2020 several new target s based on

property-scale mapping, 3D modelling, and drill core re -logging and is planning on a

follow-up drill program to test:

1. A 1.3km X 300m corridor where a hanging wall mineralizing event has been

identified in drilling done by Defiance Silver and pr evious operators. Key targets in

this corridor include hanging wall veins parallel to the Veta Grande and offset

hanging wall structures found in the vicinity of the Tiro San Genaro. Significant

mineralization outside of the main Veta Grande structure was outlined by positive

drill results in the vicinity SAD15-08 (Veta Natividad and Veta Grande) both at depth

and along strike between Almaden and Tiro San Genaro. Targets include parallel and

offset structures in the vicinity of previous drilling at El Mirador/Almaden and SAD17-

12/13/14.

2. Deep targets along strike of the Vet a Grande to the immediate south east. This area

was tested late in 2017 and is structurally complicated, consisting of down -dropped

blocks and regional block rotation.

3. “El Mirador,” part o f a multi -kilometer felsic fault structure (La Veta Morada) with

visible silver sulfides that outcrops near previous drilling in the vicinity of the

Almaden Shaft and underground workings. This style of structure has a positive

correlation to regional expl oration and development successes at other nearby

projects.

A drill program is being designed to expand the resource envelope and test mineralization

extents on the Veta Grande and proximal hanging wall and footwall targets.
