MITHRIL SILVER AND GOLD RETURNS HIGH-GRADE GOLD AND SILVER FROM
1.6 KM VEIN CORRIDOR AT TARGET 5, COPALQUIN PROPERTY, MEXICO
- High-Grade Channel Sampling Highlights Compelling New Drill Target -
Melbourne, Australia and Vancouver, Canada - Mithril S ilver and Gold Limited ("Mithril” or the
"Company") (TSXV: MSG) (ASX: MTH) is pleased to provide high-grade channel sample results for a
newly developing drill target (Target 5) at Mithril’s district scale Copalquin property, Durango State,
Mexico.
Highlights
• Mithril’s ongoing mapping and sampling program continues to uncover high -grade gold-silver
drill targets across the expansive 70 km² Copalquin District in Mexico.
• Recent work at Target 5 has outlined multiple northwest -trending parallel veins up to 500
metres in length within a 1.6 km wide corridor, located just 1.5 km southwest of the existing
Target 1 resource area.
• Notably, sampling at this lower elevation (650 –900 m) has returned grades exceeding 1%
copper, lead, and zinc . Mineralisation has now been found for over 1,000 metres of vertical
relief between Target 2 and Target 5 . The styles of mineralisation and associated host rocks
support the model of a district wide epithermal system potentially centred along a 5km east-
west trend of rhyolite flow domes.
• First-pass drilling at Targets 5 and 3 is scheduled for next quarter, following the completion of
Target 1 resource update drilling and the district-scale geological model refinement.
Highlight channel sample results from surface and underground workings within Target 5:
0.7 m @ 4.64 g/t gold, 732 g/t silver (226229; Mina Apomal)
0.8 m @ 2.84 g/t gold, 777 g/t silver (527107; Mina Apomal)
0.5 m @ 5.36 g/t gold, 706 g/t silver (527143; Apomal Norte)
0.8 m @ 2.58 g/t gold, 716 g/t silver (798719; Dulces Nombres)
Samples with high base metal values:
1.0 m @ 1.48 g/t gold, 236 g/t silver, 0.17% copper, 1.73 % lead, 0.06% zinc (798776; Veta Azul)
1.0 m @ 0.04 g/t gold, 8 g/t silver, 0.03% copper, 0.09 % lead 1.28 % zinc (79770; Veta Azul)
1.0 m @ 0.07 g/t gold, 41 g/t silver, 1.59 % copper, 19 ppm lead, 61 ppm zinc (226223; Apomal)
0.85 m @ 0.06 g/t gold, 145 g/t silver, 0.1% copper, 1.14 % lead, 0.05% zinc (527169; Duraznito)
“The high-grade channel sampling results at Target 5 are another strong endorsement of the Copalquin
District’s potential to host multiple, high -grade gold-silver deposits,” said John Skeet, MD and CEO of
Mithril Silver and Gold. “ The wide vein corridor at Target 5, high grades, and presence of significant
base metals at lower elevations underscore the robust vertical extent of this epithermal system.
Importantly, these results confirm that our district-scale exploration strategy is delivering, with Target

5 now emerging as a compelling new drill target. We look forward to commencing the first-ever drilling
at this area in the upcoming quarter, alongside continued work to update the resource at Target 1 and
further define the broader mineralised system across the Copalquin District.”

from company websites for the neighbouring properties does not necessarily apply to the Copalquin Project. Resources/resources for
neighbouring properties marked with * include estimated past production.
With 100 historic underground gold -silver mines and workings plus 198 surface workings/pits
throughout 70km 2 of mining concession area, Copalquin is an entire mining district with high -grade
exploration results and a maiden JORC resource. To date there are several target areas in the district
with one already hosting a high-grade gold-silver JORC mineral resource estimate (MRE) at the Target
1 area (El Refugio -La Soledad) 1 and a NI 43 -101 Technical Report filed on SEDAR+, supported by a
conceptional underground mining study completed on the maiden resource in early 2022 ( see ASX
announcement 01 March 2022 and metallurgical test work (see ASX Announcement 25 February 2022).
There is considerable strike and depth potential to increase the resource at El Refugio and at other
target areas across the district, plus the underlying geologic system that is responsible for the
widespread gold-silver mineralisation.
With the district -wide gold and silver occurrences and rapid exploration success, it is clear the
Copalquin District is developing into another significant gold-silver district like the many other districts
in this prolific Sierra Madre Gold-Silver Trend of Mexico.

Copalquin District Exploration Progress Update
Surficial and underground channel sampling at the Target 5 Area (El Apomal, El Duraznito, Veta Azul,
Dulces Nombres) has returned excellent results, with several channel samples intersecting very high-
grade silver and high-grade gold within a broad, outcropping vein system, which extends 1.6 km west
of the Dulces Nombres to El Apomal Mine (Figure 4).
Full sample results are given in Table 2

High-Potential Discovery at Target 5 – El Apomal: Target 5 development started with the dewatering,
mapping and sampling of the historic El Apomal Mine (Figure 3). The mine, a 130-metre underground
adit, is dom inated by a mineralized quartz vein, up to 1.5 m wide (The Apomal vein). The southeast
trending Apomal vein can be traced over 500 metres and remains open to the northwest and
southeast. Several parallel vein sets have been mapped and sampled up to 300 m to the southwest of
the Apomal Mine (Figure 3; Assays pending).
Anomalous silver values (up to 196 g/t Ag; Table 3) have been reported at the El Duraznito Mine which
is located more than 300 m to the northeast of the Apomal mine (Figure 4, 5; Table 2).
The Veta Azul and Dulces Nombres Mines are located over 900 m northeast of the El Duraznito Mine
and have returned high -grade silver values (up to 841 g/t Ag; Figure 4; Table 2). The veins in these
mines appear to have a similar orientation to the veins observed underground and on surface in the El
Apomal Mine area.
Moderate-grade Au and Ag mineralized quartz veins were intersected in two holes (CDH152 -5.66m @
2.58 g/t gold, 230 g/t silver from 18.5m including 1.98m @ 4.59 g/t gold, 520 g/t silver from 18.5m and
CDH-154 - 2.90m @ 1.86 g/t gold, 240 g/t silver from 75.1m) drilled at the historic Copalquin Mine
which is located approximately 2.5 km east of El Apomal Mine. The veins at Copalquin are interpreted
to be part of the wide vein system observed at Target 5.
Target 5 veins mapped to date, are primarily hosted in granodiorite and are situated at a lower
elevation in the system at 650 – 900 m compared with the mineralised zones at Target 1 (900 – 1,150
m) and Target 2 (1,500 - 1,700 m). Mineralised parallel vein sets have now been mapped and sampled
for over 1,000 metres of vertical relief between Target 2 and Target 5 across a width of approximately
5 km, a further indication of the Copalquin District to potentially host a large, multi-target mineralized
system.
The styles of mineralisation and associated host rocks found at various elevations conform to the
model of a district wide low sulphidation epithermal system potentially centred along a 5km east -
west trend of rhyolite flow domes.
Continued mapping and sampling is underway to the south and southeast of the El Apomal Mine where
several outcropping veins have been identified. An exploration road is advancing to the Target 5 area
to provide access for drill pads.
Further targets for mapping and sampling include the areas to the immediate south of Target 5 towards
the historic mines Tasolera 1 and 2 (~1 km from Apomal) and to the south east towards the historic
mine Guamuchilito (~1.7 km from Apomal).

ABOUT THE COPALQUIN GOLD SILVER PROJECT
The Copalquin mining district is located in Durango State, Mexico and covers an entire mining district
of 70km2 containing several dozen historic gold and silver mines and workings, ten of which had notable
production. The district is within the Sierra Madre Gold Silver Trend which extends north -south along
the western side of Mexico and hosts many world-class gold and silver deposits.
Multiple mineralisation events, young intrusives thought to be system -driving heat sources,
widespread alteration together with extensive surface vein exposures and dozens of historic mine
workings, identify the Copalquin mining district as a major epithermal centre for Gold and Silver.
Within 15 months of drilling in the Copalquin District, Mithril delivered a maiden JORC mineral resource
estimate demonstrating the high-grade gold and silver resource potential for the district. This maiden
resource is detailed below (see ASX release 17 November 2021)^ and a NI 43-101 Technical Report filed
on SEDAR+

Table 1 - Mineral resource estimate El Refugio – La Soledad using a cut-off grade of 2.0 g/t AuEq*
* In determining the gold equivalent (AuEq.) grade for reporting, a gold:silver price ratio of 70:1 was determined, using the formula:
AuEq grade = Au grade + ((Ag grade/70) x (Ag recovery/Au recovery)). The metal prices used to determine the 70:1 ratio are the
cumulative average prices for 2021: gold USD1,798.34 and silver: USD25.32 (actual is 71:1) from kitco.com. At this early stage, the
metallurgical recoveries were assumed to be equal. Subsequent preliminary metallurgical test work produced recoveries of 91% for silver
and 96% for gold (ASX Announcement 25 February 2022) and these will be used when the resource is updated in the future . In the
Company’s opinion there is reasonable potential for both gold and silver to be extracted and sold.
^ The information in this report that relates to Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves is based on information provided in the foll owing ASX
announcement: 17 Nov 2021 - MAIDEN JORC RESOURCE 529,000 OUNCES @ 6.81G/T (AuEq*), which includes the full JORC MRE report,
also available on the Mithril Resources Limited Website.
The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original
market announcement and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the relev ant market
announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed. The company confirms that the form and context in which the
Competent Person’s findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcement.
# For Target 5 area where silver equivalent (AgEq) has been used in the maps, AgEq is determined using the formula: AgEq grade = Ag
grade + ((A u grade x 70) x (A u recovery/Ag recovery)). The metal prices used to determine the 70:1 ratio are the cumulative average
prices for 2021: gold USD1,798.34 and silver: USD25.32 (actual is 71:1) from kitco.com. At this early stage, the metallurgical recoveries
for Au and Ag are assumed to be equal in the absence of metallurgical test work for Target 5 material. In the Company’s opinion there is
reasonable potential for both gold and silver to be extracted and sold.
Mining study and metallurgical test work supports the development of the El Refugio -La Soledad
resource with conventional underground mining methods indicated as being appropriate and with high
gold-silver recovery to produce metal on-site with conventional processing.
Mithril is currently exploring in the Copalquin District to expand the resource footprint, demonstrating
its multi -million-ounce gold and silver potential. Mithril has an exclusive option to purchase 100%
interest in the Copalquin mining concessions by paying US$10M on or any time before 7 August 2028.
