Guanajuato Silver Confirms New Vein Discovery at El Cubo Mine
Guanajuato Silver Confirms New Vein Discovery at El Cubo Mine
November 10, 2022 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Guanajuato Silver Company Ltd. (the “ Company” or
“GSilver”) ( TSXV:GSVR)(AQUIS:GSVR)(OTCQX:GSVRF) is pleased to provide drill results that confirm the
discovery of a new transverse vein at the Company’s wholly owned El Cubo Mine in Guanajuato, Mexico.
Recent stope development and drilling in the Villalpando area of the El Cubo mine, along with detailed computer
modeling and reinterpretation of past operators’ drill results, has revealed a new vein structure that has been
christened the “San Luis” vein. This system was first identified by previous operators; however, the San Luis vein
was never pursued or exploited, and the extent of the mineralization remained unknown. The San Luis vein runs
perpendicular to the primary regional north-west Villalpando and Dolores mineralized vein structures, and like
other transverse veins at El Cubo, the San Luis v ein is anticipated to often carry proportionally higher gold
content. GSilver’s recent drilling has confirmed continuity of the vein. It is expected that this mineralization can
be quickly accessed from several adits and ramps, with initial production having already commenced. It is further
envisioned that San Luis may develop into a gold-rich vein system and grow in importance in the same way that
the Santa Cecilia area has become the largest source of high-grade material at El Cubo.
James A nderso n, Chairman and CEO said, “E conomic success of o ur operations is driven by grade, and the
identification of another gold-rich transverse v ein that can rapidly enhance our mining schedule further
demonstrates the considerable potential remaining at El Cubo. With almost 200-years of mining history behind
it, El Cubo is ready to begin a new chapter of growth as the centerpiece of our hub & spoke strategy in
Guanajuato.”

Sampling and quality assurance/quality control
Drill core was first reviewed by a Company geologist, who identified and marked intervals for sampling. The
marked sample intervals were then cut in half with a diamond saw; half of the core was left in the core box and
the other half was removed, placed in plastic bags, sealed and labeled. Intervals and unique sample numbers
are recorded on the drill logs and the samples are sequenced with standards and blanks inserted according to a
predefined QA/QC procedure. The samples are maintained under security on site until they are shipped to the
analytical lab. The analytical work reported on herein was performed by Corporacion Quimica Platinum S.A de
C.V., Silao, Guanajuato, Mexico. To validate our assay results and our preparation procedures, GSilver sends
additional random samples representing approximately 20% of all analytical samples to Bureau Veritas in
Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. Bureau Veritas is an ISO/IEC (International Organization for
Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission) geo -analytical laboratory and is independent of
GSilver and its "qualified person". In order to further validate our assay results and our preparation procedures
GSilver sent additional random samples representing approximately 10% of all analytical samples to SGS Mexico,
S.A de C.V, Durango, Mexico. SGS is also an ISO/IEC geo-analytical laboratory and is independent of GSilver and
its "qualified person". Core samples were subject to crushing at a minimum of 70 per cent passing two
millimeters, followed by pulverizing of a 250-gram split to 85 per cent passing 75 microns. Gold determination
was via standard atomic absorption (AA) finish 30 -gram fire assay (FA) analysis, in addition to silver and 34 -
element using fire assay and gravimetry termination. Following industry -standard procedures, blank and
standard samples were inserted into the sample sequence and sent to the laboratory for analysis. Data
verification of the analytical results included a statistical analysis of the standards and blanks that must pass
certain parameters for acceptance to ens ure accurate and verifiable results. GSilver detected no significant
QA/QC issues during review of the data and is not aware of any sampling, recovery or other factors that could
materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the data referred to herein.

Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains certain forward-looking statements and information, which relate to future events or future
performance including, but not limited to, the identification of the San Luis vein as a gold-rich transverse vein capable of
developing into a future source of high grade material at El Cubo and rapidly enhancing the Company’s mining schedule,
the ability of the Company to quickly assess the mineralization and characteristics of the San Luis vein and the timing and
quantity of production therefrom, the Company’s current and projected mined output from El Cubo and newly acquired
San Ignacio, Valenciana and Topia mines, GSilver’s anticipated performance for the balance of 2022 and the Company’s
status as one of the fasting growing silver producers in Mexico, the ability of the Company to continue to increase
production, tonnage and recoveries of mineralized material at El Cubo, San Ignacio, Valenciana and Topia in accordance
with its objectives and timetable including increasing silver and gold grades, improving metallurgical recovery rates,
increasing revenues, and reducing production costs (including AISC) consistent with the Company’s expectations and
production model, t he Company’s future development and production activities; estimates of mineral resources and
mineralized m aterial at the Company’s mining projects and the accessibility, attractiveness, mineral content and
metallurgical characteristics thereof; the opportunities for future exploration, development and production at the
Company’s mines including the San Luis vein and the proposed exploration, development and production programs
therefor and the timing and costs thereof; and the success related to any future exploration, development and/or

Such f orward -looking statements and information reflect management's current beliefs and are based on information
currently available to and assumptions made by the Company; which assumptions, while considered reasonable by the
Company, are inherently subject to significant operational, business, economic and regulatory uncertainties and
contingencies. These assumptions include: the potential quantity, grade and metal content of the mineralized material at
the San Luis vein, the geotechnical and metallurgical characteristics of such material conforming to sampled results and
metallurgical performance; available tonnage of mineralized material to be mined and processed; resource grades and
recoveries; assumptions and discount rates being appropriately applied to production estimates; prices for silver, gold and
other metals remaining as estimated; currency exchange rates remaining as estimated; availability of funds for the
Company's projects and to satisfy current liabilities and obligations including debt repayments; capital, decommissioning
and reclamation estimates; prices for energy inputs, labour, materials, supplies and services (including transportation) and
4
inflation rates remaining as estimated; no labour-related disruptions; no unplanned delays or interruptions in scheduled
construction and production; all necessary permits, licenses and regulatory approvals are received in a timely manner; and
the ability to comply with environmental, health and safety laws. The foregoing list of assumptions is not exhaustive.
Readers are cautioned that such forward-looking statements and information are neither promises nor guarantees, and
are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause future results, level of activity, production levels, performance or
achievements of GSilver to differ materially from those expected including, but not limited to, market conditions,
availability of financing, currency rate fluctuations, rising inflation and interest rates, geopolitical conflicts including wars,
actual results of exploration, development and production activities, actual resource grades and recoveries of silver, gold
and other metals from the San Luis vein or otherwise, availability of third party mineralized material for processing,
unanticipated geological or structural formations and characteristics, environmental risks, future prices of gold, silver and
other metals, operating risks, accidents, labor issues, equipment or personnel delays, delays in obtaining governmental or
regulatory approvals and permits, inadequate insurance, and other risks in the mining industry. There are no assurances
that GSilver will be able to continue to increase production, tonnage milled and recoveries rates, improve grades and
reduce costs at El Cubo to process mineralized materials to produce silver, gold and other concentrates in the amounts,
grades, recoveries, costs and timetable anticipated. In addition, GSilver’s d ecision to process mineralized material from El
Cubo including the newly discovered San Luis vein is not based on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating
economic and technical viability and therefore is subject to increased uncertainty and risk of failure, both economically and
technically. Mineral resources and mineralized material that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic
viability, are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them, and may be
materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, socio-political, marketing, and other relevant issues. There
are no assurances that the Company's projected grades of gold and silver at the San Luis vein and the anticipated level of
production therefrom will be realized. In addition, there are no assurances that the Company will meet its production
forecasts or generate the anticipated cash flows from operations to satisfy its scheduled debt payments or other liabilities
when due or meet financial covenants to which the Company is subject or to fund its exploration programs and corporate
initiatives as planned. There is also uncertainty about the continued spread and severity of COVID-19, the ongoing war in
Ukraine and rising inflation and interest r ates and the impact they will have on the Company's operations, supply chains,
ability to access mining projects or procure equipment, contractors and other personnel on a timely basis or at all and
economic activity in general. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements or
information. All forward-looking statements and information made in this news release are qualified by these cautionary
statements and those in our continuous disclosure filings available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com including the Company’s
