Pantera Silver Announces Preliminary Drill Results Confirming Silver Mineralization and New Gold Zone
Pantera Silver Announces Preliminary Drill
Results Confirming Silver Mineralization and
New Gold Zone
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 13, 2022) -
Pantera Silver Corp.
(TSXV:
PNTR)
("Pantera" or the "Company")
reports the initial drill results from it's Nuevo Taxco Silver
Project (the "Property") in the Pregones Mining District of Guerrero State, Mexico. Multiple gold and
silver intervals were intersected in veins and stock-work zones, with individual sample intercepts to 225
g/t Ag and 1.85 g/t Au.
This initial drill program focused on two (2) of twenty-one (21) high grade silver veins previously mapped
and surface sampled within the 1,100 hectare Property.
Silver mineralization was confirmed at depth on
the "La Negrilla" and "El Crestón de María" veins, and drilling intersected new mineralized structures and
mineralized stockworks.
Pantera Silver President, Jay Roberge stated, "This is a very large system with this initial drilling testing
an initial 630 meters of a combined 11 kms of vein strike on the property with all veins open along strike.
Nuevo Taxco is on strike with Grupo Mexico's Taxco Silver mine to the southeast, and Grupo Mexico's
exploration activity on our shared property border to the north and west. The Taxco region has produced
millions of ounces of silver over four centuries from very high grade vein shoots. Fortified with this
confirmation of the system, our field team is working to identify high priority targets for continued drilling."
The initial drill holes confirmed the continuity of the silver mineralization 50 m below the La Negrilla mine,
in the same vein and in "splays" of that vein. Drilling along the La Negrilla vein confirmed continuity of
surface rock sample results generated by Impact Silver in 2013 (refer Table 1). These results confirm the
continuity of silver mineralization to 50m below the historical La Negrilla workings and identify additional
vein splay mineralization.

The El Creston de Maria vein was selected for drilling owing to surface sample values of up to 1,100 gr/t
Ag and 0.729 gr/t Au: drilling intersected stockwork mineralization to 108 g/t Ag (over 5.05m) and 1.86
g/t Au (over .86m) (refer Table 2).

With the discovery of a new gold zone and confirmation of mineralization continuous from the historical
La Negrilla workings Pantera plans to detail the wider area with geological and structural mapping to
sequence future drilling at the new gold target and to prepare for more extensive definition of the La
Negrilla silver mineralization where the vein system is suspected of local widening and narrowing both
longitudinally and to depth.
Exploration drilling will also be expanded to other structures with high silver
values on the remaining 19 mapped and surface sampled veins.
