Silver Storm Announces Several Intercepts > 1,000 G/T Ag.eq from the LA Estrella Zone
NEWS RELEASE
SILVER STORM ANNOUNCES SEVERAL INTERCEPTS > 1,000 G/T AG.EQ
FROM THE LA ESTRELLA ZONE
Toronto, Ontario, November 19, 2024: Silver Storm Mining Ltd. (“Silver Storm” or the "Company")
(TSX.V: SVRS | OTC: SVRSF | FSE: SVR), is pleased to announce further drill results from its Phase
2 diamond drilling program at the Company’s 100% owned La Parrilla Silver Mine Complex, located
in Durango Mexico. Results from the nine holes contained within this release are from the La Estrella
Zones and San Rafael Zones in the Quebradillas mine. These zones were not modeled or included
in the NI -43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate prepared by SRK for the La Parrilla Silver Mine
Complex published on August 10, 2023.
An overview video on the La Parrilla Project is available at:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=dybgKXcGrYo
Key highlights include:
Numerous high-grade intercepts were encountered with the La Estrella (“ VES”) and San Rafael
(“VSR”) Zones in proximity to previous mined stopes. The current drill results, when combined with
historical holes drilled by First Majestic (“FM”), are expected to have a positive impact on future
Mineral Resources.
• Hole Q-24-039 returned 1,546 g/t Ag.Eq1 over 0.49 metres (“m”), 2,550 g/t Ag.Eq over 0.50
m, and 1,034 g/t Ag.Eq over 0.94 m within a broader interval of 768 g/t Ag.Eq over 7.26
m from the interpreted intersection of the VES and VSR Zones.
- This high-grade intercept is located ~25 m below a previously mined stope
• Hole Q-24-031 returned 2,495 g/t Ag.Eq over 0.40 m and 640 g/t Ag.Eq over 1.56 m within
a broader interval of 382 g/t Ag.Eq over 3.50 m from the interpreted intersection of the VES-
A, Quebradillas Bajo, and C1524 Zones.
- These high-grade intercepts are located ~10 m to the east of a previously mined stope
• Hole Q-24-035 returned 1,313 g/t Ag.Eq over 0.50 m and 502 g/t Ag.Eq over 0.50 m within a
broader interval of 361 g/t Ag.Eq over 5.00 m from the VES Zone and 1,019 g/t Ag.Eq over
0.90 m within a broader interval of 422 g/t Ag.Eq over 4.36 m from the interpreted
intersection of the VES-B and Quebradillas Zones.
- These high-grade intercepts are located ~80 m above a previously mined stope
• Hole Q-24-036 returned 1,690 g/t Ag.Eq over 0.50 m within a broader interval of 333 g/t
Ag.Eq over 5.75 m from the VES-A Zone.
- This high-grade intercept is located ~80 m above a previously mined stope
• Hole Q-24-038 returned 1,248 g/t Ag.Eq over 1.12 m within a broader interval of 482 g/t
Ag.Eq over 8.19 m from the VSR Zone.
- This high-grade intercept is located ~40 m to the east of a previously mined stope
Greg McKenzie, President and CEO, commented: “We are pleased with the high-grade results from
the La Estrella and San Rafael Zones. High-grade mineralization can be traced at La Estrella over a
strike length of 225 m, vertical extent of 1 75 m, and true thickness of up to 6 m. Limited mining was
previously conducted by First Majestic within these zones, and they were not included in the August
2023 Resource Estimate. We anticipate these results will have a positive impact on future
Mineral Resource updates.”
La Estrella Zone
The La Estrella Zone is a sulphide-bearing hydrothermal breccia with in a fault striking 274 degrees
and dipping 80 degrees to the south over an approximate strike length of 225 m. There are two sub -
parallel splay zones VES-A and VES-B which branch off the main zone. Prior to placing the mine on
care and maintenance (Q4 -2019) FM successfully mined one level in the VES Zone with excellent
results – the composited weighted average grade of historical channel samples within the 1967 EL
Stope returned 584 g/t Ag.Eq over a strike length of 71 m and average width of 1.89 m (Table 2).
Results from holes Q -23-029A to Q -24-039 (11 holes), when combined with historical holes in
proximity (Figures 1, 2 & Table 1), have identified a high-grade mineralized zone over a vertical extent
of 175 m, strike length of 225 m, and true width varying up to 6 m. Drill results from holes Q-23-029A
& 030 were previously reported in the Company’s news release dated May 7, 2024.

(1) All results in this release are rounded. Assays are uncut and undiluted. Widths are core -lengths, not true
widths. Silver equivalent: Ag.Eq g/t was calculated using commodity prices of US$22.50 /oz Ag, US$1,800 /oz
Au, US$0.94 /lb Pb, and US$1.35 /lb Zn ap plying metallurgical recoveries of 70.1% for silver and 82.8% for
gold in oxides and 79.6% for silver, 80.1% for gold, 74.7% for lead and 58.8% for zinc in sulphides. Metal
payable used was 99.6% for silver and 95% for gold in doré produced from oxides , and 95% for silver, gold,
and lead and 85% for zinc in concentrates produced from sulphides. Cut-off grades considered for oxide and
sulphide were, respectively 140 g/t Ag .Eq and 125 g/t Ag.Eq and are based on 2017 costs adjusted by the
inflation rate and include sustaining costs.
(2) Weighted average grades were calculated over the mineralized widths of each channel (Figure 2).
Sample Analysis and QA/QC Program
Silver Storm uses a quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) program that monitors the chain of
custody of samples and includes the insertion of blanks, duplicates, and reference standards in each
batch of samples sent for analysis. The drill core is phot ographed, logged, and cut in half, with one
half retained in a secured location for verification purposes and one half shipped for analysis. Sample
preparation (crushing and pulverizing) is performed at ALS Geochemistry, an independent ISO
