ABOUT DISCOVERY METALS

Discovery is exploring one of the world’s largest silver resources at its 100% -owned Cordero

Project in Chihuahua State, Mexico. The 37,000 hectare property covers an entire porphyry

district that hosts the announced resource and numerous exploration targets for bulk tonnage

diatreme-hosted, porphyry-style, and carbonate replacement deposits. In addition, Discovery is

focused on discovering and advancing high-grade silver-zinc-lead deposits in a land package of

approximately 150,000 hectares covering a historic mining district in Coahuila State, Mexico. The

portfolio of three large -scale, drill -ready projects and several earlier -stage prospects, all with

shallow, high-grade mineralization, is situated in a world -class carbonate replacement deposit

belt that stretches from southeast Arizona to central Mexico. The land holdings contain numerous

historical direct-ship ore workings with several kilometers of underground development, but there

was no modern exploration or drill testing on the properties prior to the work carried out by

Discovery.
