Upcoming Plans for the Zacatecas Silver Project
Zacatecas is evaluating upcoming exploration plans at the Zacatecas Silver Project. The Zacatecas
Silver Project is located in Zacatecas state, Mexico, within the highly prospective Fresnillo silver belt,
which has produced over 6.2 billion ounces of silver.
Drilling by the Company and previous operators have identified two significant vein systems that
warrant further exploration and drilling activities:
• Panuco Deposit. Significant drilling and trench work has been carried at the Panuco returning
high-grade silver results of 1.25m @ 1440 g/t Ag Eq (1423.2 g/t Ag and 0.23 g/t Au) (see news
release April 7, 2022) and 1.23m @750 g/t Ag Eq (723 g/t Ag and 0.36 g/t Au) (see news
release February 16, 2022). On May 30, 2023, the Company announced an increase in the
mineral resource estimate at Panuco resulting in 3.41 m illion tonnes at 18 7 g/t AgEq (173 g/t
Ag and 0.1 8 g/t Au) for 20.5 million ounces AgEq (19.0 million ounces silver and 1 9.2
thousand ounces gold) (see news release May 30, 2023). The vein system comprising the
Panuco deposit remains open in all directions.
• El Cristo Vein System. The El Cristo vein system is the northwest extension of the well-known
Veta Grande vein and is defined by multiple vein outcrops, and extensive historical workings
and shafts. The Company completed an initial 28 scout drill hole program whereby 22 out of
the 28 holes interested silver -base metal mineralization. With a strike length over 3 km,
numerous targets remain to be drilled by the Company.
In addition to the two flagship deposits at Zacatecas, there are two additional high-priority targets
that may be pursued by the Company:
• San-Gill Breccia Zone. San Gill Breccia is located in the southern part of the main Zacatecas
concessions and is approximately 2 kilometres to the southwest of the Veta Grande vein. It is
a zone of intense brecciation and quartz veining with an abundant matrix of iron oxides after
sulphides.
• Muleros Zone. The Muleros vein system, which is located to the south of Panuco and to the
north of El Cristo, can be traded over a 3 km strike length. Three main veins are present in
the system – the south vein, north vein and the El Rosario vein.

Esperanza Gold Project in Morelos State
The Zacatecas Silver Project is located in Zacatecas state, Mexico, within the highly prospective
Fresnillo silver belt, which has produced over 6.2 billion ounces of silver. The C ompany holds 7,826
hectares (19,338 acres) of ground that is highly prospective for low -sulphidation and intermediate -
sulphidation silver base metal mineralization and potentially low -sulphidation gold -dominant
mineralization. The Company announced a Mineral Resource Estimate at the Panuco D eposit
consisting of 2.7 million tonnes at 187 grams per tonne (g/t) silver equivalent (AgEq) (171 g/t silver
(Ag) and 0.17 g/t gold (Au)) for 16.4 million ounces AgEq (15 million ounces silver and 15,000 ounces
gold) (see news release dated December 14, 2021).
Esperanza is an advanced stage gold project located in Morelos state, Mexico. The Company
announced a Mineral Resource Estimate at Esperanza consisting of a Measured and Indicated Mineral
Resource Estimate of 30.5 million tonnes at 0.97 g/t AuEq for 95 6 thousand ounces AuEq and an
Inferred Mineral Resource estimate of 8.7 million tonnes at 0.98 g/t AuEq for 27 7 thousand ounces
AuEq (see news release dated November 16, 2022).
