DISCOVERY METALS RECEIVES DRILLING PERMIT FOR ITS
MONCLOVA PROJECT
July 11, 2019, Toronto, Ontario - Discovery Metals Corp. (TSX-V: DSV) (“Discovery” or the
“Company”) is pleased to announce that it has been granted drilling permits for its Monclova Ag-
Zn-Pb project (“Monclova” or “the Project”) in Coahuila State, Mexico.
Discovery’s President and CEO, Taj Singh commented: “The receipt of the drill ing permit for
Monclova is a significant step for the Company. Our team has been working diligently to develop
an exploration plan for the Project and has delineated multiple high-potential drill targets that we
can test in 2019. This will be the first drilling ever carried out at this past-producing, high-grade
project.”
Over the last year t he Company has completed field wor k including surface and underground
(“UG”) mapping, sampling and a ground magnetometer survey that highlight significant potential
at a number of showings. The Real Viejo area is the key near-term target. It hosts five historic
shallow underground mines along a strike of 1.5km at a limestone -intrusive rock contact.
Discovery’s channel sampling program at Real Viejo consistently returned high grades. The 50
highest-grade channel samples returned an average grade of 677 g/t AgEq1 (277 g/t Ag, 6.7%
Zn, 1.9% Pb). Assays of the top 25 channel samples by AgEq1 from Real Viejo are shown below

About the Monclova project and the Real Viejo area:
The Monclova project, located 25km southwest of the city of Monclova, is centered on the 12
square-km Monclova intrusive complex, characterized by a series of intrusions of mainly
intermediate composition , that were emplaced into Cretaceous limestones of the Aurora
formation, with numerous mineral prospects located within and surrounding the stock. Historically,
miners extracted Ag-Pb-Zn ores primarly hosted in mantos and veins and Cu-Au-Fe ores primarily
hosted in skarns. Discovery is carrying out the first significant modern exploration program at
Monclova.
The Real Viejo area is approximately 2 square-km in size and is located along the southern
contact of the Monclova intrusive complex, where a series of east to southeast trending Ag-Zn-
Pb mineralized, silica-rich vein, replacement bodies (mantos), skarn-altered embayment zones
and breccias 2-10m wide are located . Mineralization occurs primarily as very fine grains of
sulphides (sphalerite, galena , argentite), oxides of zinc (hydrozincite, smithsonite) and lead
(cerussite, plumbojarosite).

ABOUT DISCOVERY METALS
Discovery Metals is focused on discovering and advancing high grade polymetallic deposits in a
recently assembled land package of approximately 150,000 hectares over a large and historic
mining district in northern Coahuila State, Mexico. The portfolio of three la rge-scale, drill-ready
projects and several earlier -stage prospects, all with shallow high -grade silver -zinc-lead
mineralization, is situated in a world-class carbonate replacement deposit belt that stretches from
southeast Arizona to central Mexico. The land holdings contain nu merous historical direct-ship
ore workings with several kilometers of underground development but no modern exploration or
exploration drill testing has been carried out on the properties prior to Discovery’s time.
