OUTCROP SILVER EXTENDS HIGH-GRADE
AT GUADUAL: 2.35 M OF 3,092 G/T SILVER;
THREE-RIG PROGRAM ADVANCING
RESOURCE EXPANSION
VANCOUVER, BC
,
Sept. 3, 2025
/CNW/ -
Outcrop Silver & Gold Corporation
(TSXV: OCG)
(OTCQX: OCGSF) (DE: MRG)
("Outcrop Silver")
reports new high-grade intercepts from the
Guadual vein at its 100%-owned Santa Ana primary silver project in
Colombia
, including 2.35 metres
("m") of 3,092 grams per tonne ("g/t") silver ("Ag") and 4.95 g/t gold ("Au") (3,463 g/t silver
equivalent "AgEq") (see Table 1 and Figure 2). With three rigs now turning, drilling is focused on
tightening and extending the emerging high-grade core at Guadual North for potential inclusion in the
company's next mineral resource ("MRE") update targeted for early 2026, while continuing to grow
the broader Santa Ana vein inventory.
Highlights
DH493 intercepted
2.35 m
of 3,093 g/t Ag and 4.95 g/t Au (3,463 g/t AgEq)
DH495 intercepted
1.30 m
of 4,587 g
/t Ag and 12.30 g/t Au (5,510 g/t AgEq)
DH486 intercepted
2.76 m
of 880 g/t Ag and 1.67 g/t Au (1,006 g/t AgEq)
Multiple drill holes intersected high-grade mineralization, confirming strike and depth
continuity in the Guadual North vein system, which remains open in all directions (Figure
3)
"The results from Guadual continue to exceed expectations. Recent drilling has returned record
silver-equivalent grades and excellent widths, demonstrating a robust and strongly mineralized
system. These results demonstrate potential for significant high-grade silver resource additions to
our upcoming MRE," commented
Guillermo Hernandez
, Vice President of Exploration. "We are
especially excited to see the mineralization remain open along strike and at depth. The team is
delivering outstanding results, and looking forward to continuing the definition and expansion of this
exciting target."

Significant Result means an intercept lower than 200 g/t AgEq1. (CNW Group/Outcrop Silver & Gold
Corporation)
Guadual is a prominent vein target in the central part of the Santa Ana project. Structurally aligned
NNE–NE and dipping sub-vertically, the vein hosts quartz-sulfide mineralization associated with
argentite, pyrite, and galena, typical of Santa Ana's high-grade mineral systems. Surface trenching
and prior drilling confirmed a footprint of more than 400 metres, with the Guadual North segment
now emerging as a high-grade core area for near-term mineral resource inclusion.

metres. Cross-section B’s width is 30 metres. (CNW Group/Outcrop Silver & Gold Corporation)
The delineation drilling campaign at Guadual will continue with both step-out and infill drilling
designed to define the full extent of the mineralized shoots identified to date, particularly in the
Guadual North vein. The current focus is on tightening drill spacing within high-grade zones to meet
the requirements for resource estimation, while also extending drilling at depth and along strike to
test the continuity of the mineralization. Concurrently, geological and structural modeling is being
advanced to refine the interpretation of vein geometries, with grade shell modeling and domain
definition already underway. These efforts will feed directly into our internal mineral resource
estimate calculations currently underway. Additionally, exploration drilling will assess the potential
structural connections between the Guadual, Jimenez, and Aguilar veins, which together form a
mineralized corridor exceeding 2 km in length with multiple confirmed high-grade shoots. The
outcomes of these steps are expected to provide a robust foundation for a significant expansion of
the mineral resources at Santa Ana.

Silver Equivalent
Metal prices used for equivalent calculations were
US$1,800
/oz for gold, and
US$25
/oz for silver.
Metallurgical recoveries based on Outcrop Silver's metallurgical test work are 97% for gold and 93%
for silver (see news release dated
August 23, 2023
). The equivalency formula is as follows:
Fig.4 (CNW Group/Outcrop Silver & Gold Corporation)
QA/QC
Outcrop Silver applied its standard protocols for sampling and assay for exploration activities. Core
diameter is a mix of HTW and NTW depending on the depth of the drill hole. Diamond drill core
boxes were photographed, sawed, sampled and tagged. Samples were bagged, tagged and
packaged for shipment by truck from Santa Ana's core logging facilities in Falan,
Colombia
to the
Actlabs certified sample preparation facility in
Medellin, Colombia
. ActLabs is an accredited
laboratory independent of the Company. HQ-NTW core is sawn with one-half shipped. Samples
delivered to Actlabs were AA assayed on Au, Ag, Pb, and Zn at
Medellin
using 1A2Au, 1A3Au,
Multi-elements AR (Ag Cu Pb Zn), and Code 8 methods. Then, samples were sent to Actlabs
Canada in
Ancaster, Ontario
, for ICP-multi-elemental analysis with code 1E3. In line with QA/QC
best practices, blanks, duplicates, and certified reference materials are inserted at approximately
three control samples every twenty samples into the sample stream, monitoring laboratory
performance. A comparison of control samples and their standard deviations indicates acceptable
accuracy of the assays and no detectible contamination. No material QA/QC issues have been
identified with respect to sample collection, security and assaying. The samples are analyzed for
gold and silver using a standard fire assay on a 30-gram sample with a gravimetric finish for over-
limits. Multi-element geochemistry was determined by ICP-MS using either aqua regia or four acid
digestions. Crush rejects, pulps, and the remaining core are stored in a secured facility at Santa Ana
for future assay verification.
About Santa Ana
The 100% owned Santa Ana project spans over 28,000 hectares within the Mariquita District,
encompassing both titles and applications, and is recognized as the largest and highest-grade
primary silver district in
Colombia
, with mining records dating back to 1585.
Santa Ana's maiden resource estimate, detailed in the NI 43-101 Technical Report titled "Santa Ana
Property Mineral Resource Estimate," dated
June 8, 2023
, prepared by AMC Mining Consultants,
indicates an estimated indicated resource of 1,226 thousand tonnes containing 24.2 million ounces
silver equivalent
1
at a grade of 614 grams per tonne and an inferred resource of 966 thousand
tonnes containing 13.5 million ounces at a grade of 435 grams per tonne of silver equivalent
1
. The
identified resources span seven major vein systems that include multiple parallel veins and
mineralized shoots: Santa Ana (
San Antonio
,
Roberto Tovar
,
San Juan
shoots); La Porfia (La Ivana);
El Dorado (El Dorado, La Abeja shoots); Paraiso (Megapozo); Las Maras; Los Naranjos, and La
Isabela.
The drilling campaign aims to extend known mineralization and test new high-potential areas along
the permitted section of the project's extensive 30 kilometres of mineralized trend. The current
exploration strategy seeks to establish a clear pathway for substantially expanding the mineral
resource. These efforts underscore the scalability of Santa Ana and its potential for substantial
resource growth, positioning the project to develop into a high-grade, economically viable, and
environmentally responsible silver mine.
