/CNW/ -
GR Silver Mining Ltd. ("GR Silver Mining"
or the
"Company")
(TSXV: GRSL) (OTCQB: GRSLF) (FRANKFURT: GPE) – is pleased to announce
successful follow up drilling lateral to the new high-grade Southeast Area ("SE Area") silver (Ag)
discovery, at the Company's wholly-owned Plomosas Project, in
Sinaloa, Mexico
. Surface drill hole
SMS22-16 intersected mineralization similar to the previously announced SMS22-10 discovery in the
SE Area, on a
90 m
step out drilling program, where multiple high-grade intervals are hosted in a
wide zone with a predominance of Ag-rich hydrothermal breccias and stockworks, to the SE of the
San Marcial Resource Area.
Highlights from the Southeast Area surface drilling results at San Marcial
SMS22-16: identified a wide hydrothermal breccia and stockwork system, with multiple high-
grade Ag intervals, similar to the wide hydrothermal system in the SMS22-10 discovery hole
(see
News Release dated
August 8, 2022
). SMS22-16 intersections are summarized as:
123.1 m
at 112 g/t Ag
including:
13.1 m
at 289 g/t Ag
including
0.4 m at 4,680 g/t Ag
27.3 m
at 250 g/t Ag
including
0.3 m at 1,351 g/t Ag
6.4 m
at 635 g/t Ag
including
0.5 m at 2,203 g/t Ag
SMS22-14: Confirmation of Ag mineralization at shallow depth

along strike from the SE
Area (Figure 1). Presence of wide Ag mineralization with isolated high-grade values. SMS22-14
intersections are summarized as
:
10.5 m
at 23 g/t Ag
3.5 m
at 118 g/t Ag
including
0.2 m at 1,790 g/t Ag
The drilling program continues at the SE Area, to define the geometry and lateral extents of the
mineralization. The results to date suggest that the high-grade, wide Ag mineralization can be
present at shallow depth from surface where Ag values are relatively low, as seen in shallow
hole SMSP22-023 (Table 1). The occurrence of Ag anomalous zones on surface along the 1.5
km target contact, further SE from the SE Area (Figure 1), provides new targets for the
Company to continue drilling, aimed at expanding the footprint of mineralization and potentially
for incorporation into the planned resource estimation update in Q1|23.
GR Silver Mining Chairman and CEO,
Eric Zaunscherb
commented,
"With each new drill hole, the
Company's understanding of the controls on mineralization in the new SE Area, as well as its size
and geometry, increase. The systematic approach capturing geochemical, geophysical, and
geological data at surface, is informing shallow drilling (e.g., hole SMSP22-023), which, in turn,
guides us at depth (e.g., SMS22-16). The evidence appears to be pulling us further to the
southeast and the ongoing fully funded drill program will continue to generate data for the mineral
resource estimate update scheduled for the first quarter of 2023."

Drilling Program Southeast Area
Following the recent discovery of wide, high-grade Ag mineralization in the SE Area of San Marcial,
the Company continues to drill holes to test the geometry and continuity of mineralization at depth
and laterally.
SMS22-16
was designed to test lateral continuity, approximately
90 m
SE, of the wide high-grade
Ag mineralization intersected in SMS22-10 (Figure 1). The Ag-rich mineralization hosted in breccia
and intense hematite-quartz stockwork veining encountered in SMS22-16 is very similar to the
mineralization style encountered in SMS22-10 and at the same key elevation between the 650 and
550 levels, following the NW trend but within the prospective corridor in the intersection with the NE
trend. Similar to SMS22-10, the continuity of the discovery zone to SE is now validated by SMS22-
16, which displays multiple brecciation stages and a series of andesitic dykes intruding and hosting
Ag mineralization in the contact with the lower volcano-sedimentary unit.
SMS22-14
tested the extension of the mineralized contact zone
125 m
to the SE of SMS22-13,
encountering a geological setting similar to that identified in SMS22-10. SMS22-14 targeted a low-
grade Ag geochemical anomaly on surface relatively close to the target contact, to evaluate the
presence and continuity of Ag mineralization at shallow depth outside the NE trending structural
corridor that hosts the SE Area discovery zone. The results support further drilling in the area, down
dip and along strike, as it is common in the SE Area for the wide high-grade Ag mineralization to
occur at some depth, with the surface expression represented by wide low-grade Ag zones.
SMS22-15
was drilled
80 m
below SMS22-12 (Figure 2). The results suggest that the mineralization
on this section - SMS22-10, SMS22-12 and SMS22-15 - is part of an extensional breccia and
stockwork system with typical "pinch and swell" geometry.

GR Silver Mining continues to identify additional targets in the SE Area utilizing geophysical,
geochemical and geological mapping studies and will continue to test the lateral extent of high-grade
Ag mineralization along the target contact. The Company anticipates drilling will continue with two
rigs over the coming months in the SE Area of San Marcial.
