Silver Storm Mining Ltd. (TSX-V: SVRS) (OTCQB: SVRSF) (FSE: SVR), is pleased to announce further drill results from its Phase 1 diamond drilling program at the Company’s 100% owned La Parrilla Silver Mine Complex, located in Durango Mexico. Results from the three holes within this release are from the Quebradillas mine. An overview video on the La Parrilla Project is available at youtu.be/dybgKXcGrYo?si=DLHZq8jGX2kEA0Uq.

Key highlights include:

• Hole Q-23-022A intersected the C460 Zone returning 911 g/t Ag.Eq¹ over 13.05 metres including 2,361 g/t Ag.Eq over 2.60 m and 1,266 g/t Ag.Eq over 2.15 m.
• This intercept is located approximately 62 m below Hole Q-23-020 which returned 1,810 g/t Ag.Eq over 14.6 m, and 74 m vertically below the last mine development in this area, with similar high-grade mineralization:

– 1767 EL composited historical channel samples graded 974 g/t Ag.Eq over a strike length of 23 m and width of 2.86 m.

• Hole Q-23-023 intersected the C460 Zone returning 347 g/t Ag.Eq. over 9.65 m including 397 g/t Ag.Eq over 5.30 m.

Greg McKenzie, President and CEO, commented: “Drill results from within the C460 Zone continue to deliver exceptional results. The high-grade mineralization reported today in hole Q-23-022A extends this zone 62 metres below hole Q-23-020 (1,810 g/t Ag.Eq over 14.6 m). Combined, these two holes have demonstrated the mineralization extends 74 metres below the last mined stope (1767 EL), with higher grades and widths than what was previously mined in this area. We will follow up with additional drilling in this location in 2024.”

C460 Zone

The C460 Zone is a sulphide replacement vein striking 344 degrees and dipping 63 degrees to the northeast with a known strike length of 425 m. The zone is mineralized over a vertical extent of 570 m and its thickness varies up to 8.5 m. The replacement vein is concordant to bedding in the sediments and mineralization is comprised of pyrite, pyrrhotite, galena, sphalerite, arsenopyrite, acanthite, and freibergite.

Hole Q-23-022A

Hole Q-23-022A was drilled to target the downdip extension of the C460 Zone, successfully intersecting replacement mineralization, returning 911 g/t Ag.Eq over 13.05 m (125.55 to 138.60 m), including 2,361 g/t Ag.Eq over 2.60 m (129.00 to 131.60 m) and 1,266 g/t Ag.Eq over 2.15 m (134.85 to 137.00 m) – See Table 1; Figures 1, 2 & 3.

This intercept is located approximately 62 m below Hole Q-23-020 which returned 1,810 g/t Ag.Eq over 14.62 m (refer to news release January 4, 2024) and located approximately 74 m vertically below the last mine development in this area, with similar high-grade mineralization (Table 2):

• The composited weighted average grade of historical channel samples from the 1767 EL stope returned 974 g/t Ag.Eq over a strike length of 23 m and average width of 2.86 m.

Hole Q-23-022A also intercepted replacement mineralization, returning 535 g/t Ag.Eq over 0.55 m (119.65 to 120.20 m).

Hole Q-23-023

Hole Q-23-023 was drilled to target the C460 Zone, successfully intersecting replacement mineralization, returning 347 g/t Ag.Eq over 9.65 m (70.55 to 80.20 m) including 397 g/t Ag.Eq over 5.30 m (72.00 to 77.30 m).

This intercept was drilled 13 m below the previously developed 1740 EL stope:

• The composited weighted average grade of historical channel samples from the 1740 EL stope returned 928 g/t Ag.Eq over a strike length of 31 m and average width of 1.94 m.

The intercept is also approximately 7 m to the west of the previously developed 1725 EL stope:

• The composited weighted average grade of historical channel samples from the 1725 EL stope returned 780 g/t Ag.Eq over a strike length of 43 m and average width of 1.79 m.

Hole Q-23-021

Hole Q-23-021 intersected the C460 Zone, successfully intersecting replacement mineralization, returning 154 g/t Ag.Eq over 0.54 m (101.56 to 102.10 m).

Sample Analysis and QA/QC Program

Silver Storm uses a quality assurance/quality control 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.
