FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Silver Dollar Intersects 89.57 g/t AgEQ over 125.3m
from Surface at the New Brazo Discovery, La Joya
Silver Project in Durango, Mexico
Phase II drilling in progress and the Company is fully funded for 2022
VANCOUVER, BC – May 4, 2022 – Silver Dollar Resources Inc. (CSE: SLV) (OTCQX:
SLVDF) (“Silver Dollar” or the “Company”) is pleased to report th e remaining assay results
from the Phase I drilling completed on the underexpl ored Noria portion of the La Joya Silver
Project (the “Property”) located in the state of Durango, Mexico. Phase II drilling is now in progress
and targeting the wide intervals of mineralization intersected in the new Phase I discoveries.
Highlights include:
Hole NOR-22-008 intersected 89.57 grams per tonne (g/t) silv er equivalent (AgEQ) over
125.3 metres (m) starting at 3 m downhole. This interval includes 267.56 g/t AgEQ over
10.47m starting at 70.53 m downhole. Minerali zation consists of Ag, gold (Au), copper
(Cu), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn) mineralization over wide intervals associated with sulphide
veins, hornfels, and quartz veins hosted in Indidura formation carbonates adjacent to a
monzonite intrusive.
Hole NOR-22-009 intersected 60.33 g/t AgEQ over 58.84m starting at 75.83m downhole.
This hole was higher grade in gold recording 0.66 g/t Au ov er the same 58.84m interval.
Gold tenors were over twice the grade and triple the width of mineralization encountered in
historical hole LJ-DD12-96.
Phase I drilling exceeded expectations by:
o identifying structural extensions of the known mineralized zones;
o the discovery of a near-surface gold zone with appreciable grades and widths; and
o wide skarn-type Ag-Au-Cu-Pb-Zn mine ralization representing a new extension
along the unexplored Coloradito intrusive beyond historical workings.
Drill core samples from all 11 holes completed over a total of 2,424 metres of Phase I drilling were
submitted for analysis. Results for the first se ven holes were reported on March 24, 2022 (See:
news release), and the results reported below are for the last four holes.
“Our successful Phase I drilling has provided us with several ne w follow-up targets well outside
the historic resource area. Assays from hole 8, which is approximately 1 kilometre west of the Main
Mineralized Trend, are some of the best results ever reported from the Coloradito area,” said Mike
Romanik, president of Silver Dollar. “Phase II drilling continues, and we have encountered similar
sulphide mineralization over even broader widths and will expand the program as analytical results
dictate.”
Phase 1 Drilling Objectives and Discussion
Hole NOR-22-008 (See: cross-section) was designed to target minera lization on the west side of
the Coloradito intrusive where anomalous gold and zi nc values were intersected in historical hole
LLDD12-96. This hole intersected wide intervals of skarn-type Ag-Au-Cu-Pb-Zn representing the
highest reported grades and widths to date from the Coloradito area. This area represents an exciting
new discovery, particularly given it is located a full kilometre west of the Main Mineralized Trend.
Hole NOR-22-009 (See: cross-section) was designed to test the downward extension of the
mineralization previously encountered in hole LJ- DD12-96 with an intercep t of 0.32 g/t Au over
29m. This hole returned 0.66 g/t Au over 58.84m starting at 75.83m downhole, both increasing
previous gold tenors and width en countered in historical hole LJ-DD12-96. This intercept also
averaged 60.33 g/t AgEQ. Additional drilling in Ph ase II will follow up on this near-surface gold
and skarn polymetallic mineralization.
Hole NOR-22-010 was designed to te st mineralization at a depth of 375m. While th e deep target
was not encountered, interesting values were intercepted at shallower depths with the hole returning
72.29 g/t AgEQ over 13.32m starting at 112.73m downhole, which included 0.78 g/t Au over the
same interval. The above interval includes 305.57 g/t AgEQ and 3.63 g/t Au over 2.09m starting at
123.96m downhole. Higher grade gold mineralization in Phase I has been observed associated with
rhodonite and within an 80-170m vertical depth hor izon spatially associated with the Coloradito
intrusive. This higher-grade go ld corridor which repo rted 29 g/t Au ove r 1.01m in NOR-21-004
represents a potential new target for Phase II follow-up drilling.
Hole NOR-22-011 targeted a western extension of the Yeyis structure with an intercept of 0.55 g/t
Au over 7.87m starting at 155.23m downhole. While this mineralization generally coincides with
the strike of the Yeyis structure, it is right on the intrusive contact.

Procedure, Quality Assurance / Quality Control, and Data Verification
The diamond drill core (HQ size) was geol ogically logged, photographed, and marked for
sampling. Core designated for sampling was sawn in half with a diamond blade core saw. One-half
of the core was sealed in plastic bags and sh ipped for analysis. The remaining half portion is
returned to the core trays for storage and/or for metallurgical test work.
The sealed and tagged sample bags were transporte d to either the ActLabs facility in Zacatecas,
Mexico or the Bureau Veritas facility in Dura ngo, Mexico where the sa mples were crushed and
200–300-gram pulp samples prepared with ni nety percent passing Tyler 150 mesh (106 μm). The
pulps were assayed for gold using a 30-gram char ge by fire assay (Code 1A2 and/or FA450) and
over limits greater than 10 grams per tonne were re-assayed using a gravimetric finish (Code 1A3
and/or FA550). Silver and multi-element analysis was completed using total digestion (Code 1F2
Total Digestion ICP). Over limits greater than 100 grams per tonne silver were re-assayed using a
gravimetric finish (Code 8-Ag FA-GRAV Ag).
Quality assurance and quality control ("QA/QC") procedures monitor the chain of custody of the
samples and include the systematic insertion and monitoring of appropriate reference materials
(certified standards, blanks, and duplicates) into the sample strings. The results of the assaying of
the QA/QC material included in each batch were tracked to ensure the integrity of the assay data.
All results stated in this announcement have passed Silver Dollar’s QA/QC protocols.
