Key highlights include:
• In San Marcos South, hole SM -24-010 returned 504 g/t Ag.Eq1 over 5.14 m and 367 g/t
Ag.Eq over 2.63 m within a broader interval of 249 g/t Ag.Eq over 19.03 m and 427 g/t Ag.Eq
over 2.13 m
• SM-24-011 returned 569 g/t Ag.Eq over 2.00 m and 431 g/t Ag.Eq over 1.87 m within a
broader interval of 319 g/t Ag.Eq over 11.75 m
- Both holes 010 & 011 are located approximately 35 m and 100 m, respectively, downdip
below the 1790 EL stope where the composited weighted average grade of historical
channel samples returned 597 g/t Ag.Eq over a strike length of 33 m and average
width of 2.37 m. Results from these two holes indicate mineralization has become
wider, below previous mined horizons.
• SM-24-014 returned 204 g/t Ag.Eq over 1.00 m, SM-24-012 returned 503 g/t Ag.Eq over 0.49
m and 141 g/t Ag.Eq over 1.21 m, and SM-24-008 returned 182 g/t Ag.Eq over 0.76 m
- Further extends the oxide mineralization approximately 77 m to the south-southeast from
the last mine development in the area
• In San Marcos North, h ole SM-24-017 returned 405 g/t Ag.Eq over 1.00 m , SM-24-016
returned 191 g/t Ag.Eq over 3.25 m, SM-24-005 returned 178 g/t Ag.Eq over 2.50 m and 371
g/t Ag.Eq over 1.00 m , SM-24-004 returned 148 g/t Ag.Eq over 0.72 m, and SM -24-003
returned 163 g/t Ag.Eq over 0.40 m
- Intercepts from holes SM-24-004 and SM-24-017 extend the oxide zone mineralization
respectively 37 m and 100 m below the last mine development in this area
• A new mineralized zone was discovered approximately 10 m to the southwest of the San
Marcos Zone with hole SM-24-004 returning 283 g/t Ag.Eq over 0.55 m, SM-24-005 returning
147 g/t Ag.Eq over 3.50 m.
Greg McKenzie, President and CEO, commented: “We are pleased with the strong drill results from
the San Marcos Mine, where we have intersected high-grade mineralization in both the South & North
Zones approximately 100 m below the last mined stopes. In particular, the South Zone appears to be
getting wider at depth where hole SM-24-011 intersected 319 g/t Ag.Eq over 11.8 m (true width ~ 11
m) compared to 2.4 m within the last mined stope 100 m higher . We anticipate these results should
have a positive impact on future Mineral Resources, both in terms of tonnage and grade . Follow up
drilling will be performed in proximity to holes 010 and 011 allowing for the potential addition of
indicated resources within this area of San Marcos.”
San Marcos Zone
The San Marcos Zone is comprised of quartz-carbonate vein mineralization, striking 340 degrees and
dipping 60 degrees to the NE, hosted within a fault zone marking the eastern contact of the granodiorite
stock. It has a known strike length of 650 m with mineralization extending vertically for 450, and a
thickness of up to 17 m. The zone is mainly characterized by oxide mineralization consisting of
hematite, goethite, native silver, and cerargyrite. However, the southern section of the zone beneath
1875 m EL is characterized by sulphide replacement mineralization contained within the bedding.
San Marcos South
Eight holes targeted the southern section of the San Marcos Zone (Figures 1 & 2; Tables 1 & 2). Hole
SM-24-014 returned 204 g/t Ag.Eq over 1.00 m (94.00 to 95.00 m), SM-24-012 returned 503 g/t Ag.Eq
over 0.49 m (95.04 to 95.53 m) and 141 g/t Ag.Eq over 1.21 m (107.34 to 108.55 m), and SM-24-008
returned 182 g/t Ag.Eq over 0.76 m (81.00 to 81.76 m), further extending the oxide mineralization
approximately 77 m to the south-southeast from the last mine development in the area.
Hole SM-24-010 returned 367 g/t Ag.Eq over 2.63 m and 504 g/t Ag.Eq over 5.14 m within a broader
interval of 249 g/t Ag.Eq over 19.03 m (75.72 to 94.75 m) and 427 g/t Ag.Eq over 2.13 m (101.52 to
103.65 m). Hole SM -24-011 returned 569 g/t Ag.Eq over 2.00 m and 431 g/t Ag.Eq over 1.87 m
within a broader interval of 319 g/t Ag.Eq over 11.75 m (147.92 to 159.67 m). Holes SM-24-010 and
011 are respectively located approximately 35 m and 100 m downdip below the last mine
development in this area, with similar high-grade sulphide replacement mineralization:
• The composited weighted average grade of historical channel samples from the 1790 EL stope
returned 597 g/t Ag.Eq over a strike length of 33 m and average width of 2.37 m.
San Marcos North
Eight holes targeted the northern section of the San Marcos Zone. Hole SM-24-016 returned 191 g/t
Ag.Eq over 3.25 m (120.50 to 123.75 m) including 514 g/t Ag.Eq over 0.50 m, SM-24-005 returned
178 g/t Ag.Eq over 2.50 m (92.50 to 95.00) and 371 g/t Ag.Eq over 1.00 m (101.00 to 102.00 m), SM-
24-004 returned 148 g/t Ag.Eq over 0.72 m (80.53 to 81.25 m), and SM-24-003 returned 163 g/t Ag.Eq
over 0.40 m (81.80 to 82.20 m) (Figure 1; Table 1). The intercepts from hole SM -24-004 and 0 17
extend the oxide zone mineralization 37 m and 100 m, respectively, below the last mine development
in this area.
A new parallel mineralized zone was discovered approximately 10 m to the southwest of the San
Marcos Zone: hole SM-24-004 returned 283 g/t Ag.Eq over 0.55 m (44.45 to 45.00 m), SM -24-005
returned 147 g/t Ag.Eq over 3.50 m (53.50 to 57.00 m).

(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 applying 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) Each mineralization type, Oxide (OX) or sulphide (SUL), has different assumptions, outlined in Note (1) above,
which are used to arrive at a calculated Ag.Eq g/t.
(3) Weighted average grades were calculated over the mineralized widths of each channel (Figures 1 & 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 photographed, 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
9001:2001 certified laboratory, in Zacatecas, Mexico and pulps are sent to ALS Geochemistry in
Vancouver, Canada for analysis. The entire sample is crushed to 70% passing -2 mm, and a riffle split
of 250 grams is taken and pulverized to better than 85% passing 75 microns. Samples are analyzed
for gold using a standard fire assay with Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) (Au-AA23) from a 30-
gram pulp. Gold assays greater than 10 g /t are re-analyzed on a 30 -gram pulp by fire assay with a
gravimetric finish (Au -GRA21). Samples are also analyzed using a 34 element inductively coupled
plasma (ICP) method with atomic emission spectroscopy (AES) on a pulp digested by four acids (ME-
ICP61). Overlimit sample values for silver (>100 g/t), lead (>1%), zinc (>1%), and copper (>1%) are
re-assayed using a four-acid digestion overlimit method with ICP-AES (ME-OG62). For silver values
greater than 1,500 g/t, samples are re-assayed using a fire assay with gravimetric finish on a 30-gram
pulp (Ag-GRA21). Samples with lead values over 20% are re-assayed using volumetric titration with
EDTA on a 1-gram pulp (Pb-VOL70). No QA/QC issues were noted with the results reported herein.

looking statements include estimates and statements that describe the Company’s future plans,
objectives or goals, includin g words to the effect that the Company or management and Qualified
Persons (in the case of technical and scientific information) expects a stated condition or result to
occur. Forward -looking statements may be identified by such terms as “believes”, “antic ipates”,
“expects”, “estimates”, “may”, “could”, “would”, “will”, or “plan”. Since forward -looking statements are
based on assumptions and address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve
inherent risks and uncertainties. Although th ese statements are based on information currently
available to the Company, the Company provides no assurance that actual results will meet

information in this news release includes, but is not limited to, the future expl oration performance at
La Parrilla, the timing and extent of current and future drill programs, the ability to increase Mineral
Resources therein, and the ability to eventually place the La Parrilla Complex back into production.
In making the forward-looking statements included in this news release, the Company and Qualified
Persons (in the case of technical and scientific information) have applied several material
assumptions, including that the Company´s financial condition and development plans do not change
because of unforeseen events, that future metal prices and the demand and market outlook for metals
will remain stable or improve, m anagement’s ability to execute its business strategy and no
unexpected or adverse regulatory changes with respect to La Parrilla. Forward -looking statements
