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

(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) | Weighted average grades were calculated over the mineralized widths of each channel (Figures 1-3). | |||||||
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.
