/CNW/ -
GR Silver Mining Ltd.
("
GR Silver Mining
" or the
"
Company
") (TSXV: GRSL) (OTCQB: GRSLF) (FRANKFURT: GPE) – is pleased to announce
drilling results from the ongoing Step-Out Drilling Program (Step-Out Drilling) adjacent to the 2023 NI
43-101 mineral resource (Resource Area) at the San Marcial Area, Plomosas Project,
Sinaloa,
Mexico
.
Drilling at the Parallel Breccia target that hosts the latest results is designed to explore the down-dip
continuity of anomalous surface channel silver results in the vicinity of the Resource Area boundary,
stepping out to the west along major northeast-oriented faults (Figure 1).
Drilling activity on site remains focused on exploring the potential to increase the Resource Area in
the three principal targets outlined in Figure 1. Assay results are pending from drill holes currently
being drilled down-plunge in the SE Deep Extension of the Resource Area.
Highlights of Step-Out Drilling at the Parallel Breccia Target, San Marcial (Figure 1 and Table
1):
SMS25-08
was drilled to test the down-dip continuity of silver mineralization 45 metres below
historical trench results (SMTr-022:
24 m
at 219 g/t AgEq), targeting a perpendicular orientation
to the northeast structures and their intersections with northwest-oriented regional structures,
for the first time. The presence of mineralization at these intersections oriented towards the
northeast represents a potential opportunity for resource expansion at this target.
SMS25-08
intersected a wide, predominantly silver-mineralized intercept hosted in hydrothermal
breccia,
19.9 m
at 250 g/t AgEq
, starting at a shallow down-hole depth of 21.5 metres and
includes a high-grade silver intercept,
1.3 m
at 954 g/t AgEq
.
SMS25-08
also includes multiple zones with attractive results that are within the wide silver
mineralized zone, such as
3.7 m
at 557 g/t AgEq
and
4.2 m
at 350 g/t AgEq.
SMS25-08
was extended to a depth of 244.5 metres to investigate the presence of silver and
gold mineralization related to northeast-oriented structures on the edge of the large
chargeability geophysical anomaly. The hole successfully discovered a new high-grade gold-
silver epithermal vein grading
1,685 g/t AgEq (24.6 g/t Au and 13 g/t Ag), over
1.0 m
.
SMS25-07A
was drilled to test the continuity of silver mineralization 125 metres along strike
from SMS25-04, which contained
36 m
at 114 g/t AgEq.
SMS25-07A
intersected multiple zones of wide silver mineralization at shallow depth, including
11.1 m
at 71 g/t AgEq, representing a target for future drilling follow-up at depth.
GR Silver Mining's President and CEO,
Marcio Fonseca
, commented,
"
Each batch of drill results
received from the step-out drilling program increases the prospective scale of the San Marcial
Area, potentially unlocking a much larger resource. The continuity of high silver grades and broad
widths of predominant silver
mineralization
encountered at shallow depths, as revealed by the
step-out drilling, supports the opportunity to continue drilling and expanding resources in the
vicinity of the San Marcial Resource Area. We await additional assay results now from the SE
Deep Extension target, which we believe will potentially lead to an extension of mineralization
below existing resource boundaries.

Drilling is ongoing with two diamond drill rigs, focusing on the SE Deep Extension target and the
Parallel Breccia target. The discovery of high-grade silver and gold mineralization at relatively
shallow depth, combined with the interpretation of the intersection of northeast and northwest
structures, suggests that the Resource Area remains open in multiple directions. The Company
continues to gain a detailed understanding of the geometry of mineralization by using oriented core
sampling combined with 3D structural and geochemical modelling.
The recently updated geological map (Figure 2), integrating all recent 3D modelling, is delineating a
regional intrusive related system with development of potential hydrothermal breccias, hosting silver
mineralization in association with regional faults and high porosity and permeability volcanic units.
Encouraging results from the drill program to date support opportunities for potential resource
expansion at the San Marcial Area.

About the Plomosas Project
The Plomosas Project, including the recent high-grade silver discovery in the San Marcial SE Area,
is progressing in 2025 as an emerging high-grade silver district located in southwestern edge of the
Sierra Madre Occidental,
Sinaloa, Mexico
. The Plomosas Project, covering 43,187 ha, including the
historical Plomosas Underground mine. benefits from mine infrastructure, road access and existing
permits associated with past-producing mining sites. The district contains intermediate to low-
sulfidation epithermal silver and gold mineralization, hosted in hydrothermal breccias and veins.
Recent success in exploration and drilling has delineated wide, high-grade, shallow hydrothermal
breccias in the San Marcial Area, including the SE Area discovery, where step-out drilling is
underway in 2025, aiming for continuous resource growth. At the historical Plomosas Mine, where
Grupo Mexico operated the underground mine from 1985 to 2000, exploration, underground
sampling and metallurgical programs are being conducted to support future decisions regarding the
implementation of a Bulk Sampling Test Mining Program
QA/QC Procedures
The Company has implemented QA/QC procedures, which include the insertion of blank, duplicate,
and standard samples in all sample lots sent to SGS de México, S.A. de C.V. laboratory facilities in
Durango, Mexico
, for sample preparation and assaying. For every sample with results above Ag >
100 ppm (over the limit), these samples are re-assayed by SGS de
Mexico
. Core samples are
represented by both HQ and NQ diameters and samples are represented by ½ core split of original
core. The analytical methods include four acid Digestion and Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical
Emission Spectrometry, with Lead Fusion Fire Assay and a gravimetric finish for silver above over
limits. For gold assays, the analytical methods are Lead Fusion and Atomic Absorption
Spectrometry, Lead Fusion Fire Assay, and gravimetric finish for gold above over limits (>10 ppm).
