Tier One Silver Obtains Drill Permit and Samples up to 298 kg/t Silver at Curibaya
Vancouver, Canada – January 20, 2021 – Tier One Silver Inc. (“Tier One” or the “Company”) is pleased
to announce that it has received its FTA (Ficha Tecnica Ambiental or “Environmental Permit”) from the Peruvian
Ministry of Energy and Mines for its Curibaya silver-gold project in Southern Peru. The FTA allows the Company
to drill up to 40 holes from 20 platforms over a 473-hectare area, which is within the 20 square kilometre
mineralized alteration zone where high-grade vein corridors have recently sampled up to 298 kg/t silver and
14.1 g/t gold (Figures 1-2). The final step in the permitting process is to obtain authorization for the Incio de
Actividades (“Start of Activities”), which is being filed to align with a planned start date for the drill program in
April, following the rainy season.
A Message from Peter Dembicki, President, CEO & Director:
“Receiving our FTA drill permit is an exciting step toward initiating the first-ever drill program at the
Curibaya project. We appreciate the efforts of our technical, social and permitting teams, who achieved the
permit without delays in the challenging environment of COVID-19 restrictions. We are pleased to have the
FTA in hand prior to our listing of Tier One Silver.“
“We look forward to drilling Curibaya, as our extensive surface sampling results continue to demonstrate a
robust metal budget coincident with significant subsurface geophysical targets. In the coming weeks Company
updates will include key acquisitions as well as age dating results and details of the first phase of drilling at
Curibaya.”
Vein Sampling Continues to Return High-Grade Silver and Gold:
The Company has conducted additional rock sampling programs within the defined vein corridors that are
situated above the recently identified chargeability and magnetics geophysical anomalies. Results from these
programs continue to demonstrate the presence of high-grade silver and gold mineralization , with samples
up to 298 kg/t silver (298,590 g/t silver) and 14.1 g/t gold (Table 1, Figures 1-2). Vein sampling is aiding in drill
targeting, ensuring drill holes are placed in zones with the highest grade mi neralization and vein density. A
summary of the results from the vein sampling program are presented below in Table 1:

PERU Rocks Q4 2020 (Curibaya)
Approximately 2-3kg of material was collected for analysis and sent to ALS Lab in Arequipa, Peru for preparation and then to
Lima, Peru for analysis. All samples are assayed using 30g nominal weight fire assay with ICP finish (Au-ICP21) and multi-element
four acid digest ICP-AES/ICP-MS method (ME-MS61). Where ICP21 results were > 3 g/t Au the assay were repeated with 30g
nominal weight fire assay with gravimetric finish (Au -GRA21). Where MS61 results were greater or near 10,000 ppm Cu,
10,000ppm Pb or 100ppm Ag the assay were repeated with ore grade four acid digest method (Cu,Pb,Ag -OG62). Where OG62
results were greater or near 1500ppm Ag the assay were repeated with 30g nominal weight fire assay with gravimetric finish
(Ag-GRA21). Where Ag -GRA21 results were gr eater or near 10,000ppm Ag the assay were repeated with fire assay with
gravimetric finish for concentrate (Ag-CON01). QA/QC programs for 2019/2020 rock samples using company and lab duplicates,
standards and blanks indicate good accuracy and precision in a large majority of standards assayed.
