Defiance Silver Receives Drill Permit on the
Zacatecas Silver Project for Significant
Exploration in the World Class Zacatecas
Mining District
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 11, 2026) - Defiance Silver Corp. (TSXV: DEF)
(FSE: D4E) (WKN: A1JQW5) ("
Defiance
" or the "
Company
") reports that the office of the
representatives of the Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources of Mexico (
SEMARNAT
) has
approved the Company's Informe Preventivo (
IP
), the environmental authorization required to, amongst
many items, increase the available roads and total drill pad construction for site access and exploration
drilling, at the San Acacio project, located in Zacatecas, Mexico.
This Informe Preventivo allows for the construction of up to new 44 drill pads and for up to 35 new access
roads to be constructed for rapid advancement of the resource exploration potential where exploration
has seldomly if ever occurred. The IP permit is valid for a period of 54 months.
This drilling permit significantly increases the drilling footprint of the San Acacio project, which historically
produced significant amounts of silver, lead and zinc over a multi-hundred year history and saw very little
exploration outside of the main Veta Grande mine levels. This IP permit will also allow the company to
test exploration targets that will be significant for mineral resource estimation outside of any historical
mining or historical resource estimates.
The Informe Preventivo was prepared and submitted in accordance with Mexican environmental
regulations. The Company would like to acknowledge the office of the representatives of SEMARNAT
and the collaborative efforts of the technical and environmental consultants for the efficient review
process.
