Exploration Programs

DEFIANCE DISCOVERS ILLEGAL TRANSFER OF

MINING CONCESSIONS

FOR RELEASE: JUNE 24th, 2022 TSXV:DEF

OTCQX:DNCVF

FRA:D4E WKN: A1JQW5

Defiance Silver Corp. (“Defiance” or the "Company") announces that it has become aware that

certain mineral concessions concerning its Tepal Project have been illegally and fraudulently

transferred to a third party individual without the Company’s knowledge or consent. These

concessions are the property of Defiance and have consistently been kept in good standing by the

Company, with all obligations and filings under applicable laws being systematically completed.

The Company has made the Mining Bureau in Mexico City aware of the situation and is pursuing all

legal avenues, with Mexican and Canadian counsel, to restore its rightful claim to the concessions.

The Company is confident that its rightful ownership will be reinstated in due course and will provide

more information as it becomes available.

On behalf of Defiance Silver Corp.

"Chris Wright"

Chairman & CEO

the Company; and the inability of the Company and its subsidiaries to enforce their legal rights in certain

circumstances. For additional risk factors, please see the Company’s most recently filed Management
