Aurcana Silver Provides Operations Update
Vancouver, BC – March 8, 2022 – Aurcana SILVER Corporation ("Aurcana" or the "Company") (TSXV: AUN; OTCQF: AUNFF) provides the following update on operations at its wholly owned Revenue-Virginius Mine located in Ouray, Colorado, USA.
Mining and development operations have continued to focus on the completion of the #1 Alimak raise hoist / elevator system (the “#1 Raise Hoist”) throughout January and most of February. As a result of extreme winter weather conditions at the mine site during the second half of February, the site has been periodically inaccessible. Due to the high cost of maintaining the Company’s labor on standby and the higher cost of winter operations in general, the Company has temporarily suspended mining operations in order to ensure the efficient use of the Company’s resources and to conserve cash during the immediate term.
Based on the progress at site to date, the Company’s anticipated plans for resumption of work, the completion of the #1 Raise Hoist remains targeted for the second quarter of 2022. Completion of the #1 Raise Hoist is essential to reducing underground travel time for mine workers and for safe and sustainable access to the upper levels of the Virginius Vein. The Company believes that this hoisting system will have an immediate and long-term positive impact on mining productivity, as well as on subsequent mine development and production and mill production. The improved access to the upper levels of the Virginius and other veins is also expected to enhance future exploration and development activities at the mine.
Operations are anticipated to resume as soon as it is practical and cost effective to do so, with an initial priority focus on activities associated with completion of the #1 Raise Hoist. The Company then anticipates that operations at the mine will ramp to full production as quickly as possible thereafter following the completion of the #1 Raise Hoist.

Aurcana Silver Provides Operations Updates
Vancouver, BC – January, 10, 2022 – Aurcana SILVER Corporation ("Aurcana" or the "Company") (TSXV: AUN; OTCQF: AUNFF) is pleased to provide an update on current operations at its wholly owned Revenue-Virginius Mine located in Ouray, Colorado, USA.
Operations are continuing to focus on the completion of the #1 Alimak raise hoist / elevator system which will enable efficient movement of men and materials between the 2000 level and the four levels being developed above 2000. Operations also continue stoping on the 1800 level of the Virginius Vein, and making ongoing improvements to the process plant.
It is anticipated that the mill will resume operations in mid-January and will run as stope ore is available. Significant improvement in concentrate quality was realized in the most recent mill run in December and is expected to continue once the mill is back in operation.
Completion of the #1 Alimak raise hoist / elevator project remains targeted for May 2022. The #1 Raise Hoist is the key to safe, efficient, and sustainable travel for men and materials to the upper levels of the Virginius mine. This hoisting system will have an immediate positive impact on mining productivities and subsequent mine development & production and mill production. The improved access to the upper levels of the Virginius and other veins is expected to also enhance future exploration and development activities at the mine.
Mining operations have continued to focus on the optimization of 1800 level stope mining. Stope ore has been stockpiled underground in anticipation of the resumption of milling. Currently, the mine has two stopes available on the 1800 level to supply the mill with high grade silver ore with a third stope partially completed.
Assays taken from on vein development openings continue to demonstrate strong mineralization in support of the geologic model. The figure below depicts a graphical representation of the grades encountered while drifting north on the Virginius Vein on the 1800 level.
Figure 1
“We are very pleased with the grades we are encountering, and the fact these grades are significantly higher (83%) when compared to the geologic model; this gives us great confidence in our ore body.”, said Kevin Drover, President and CEO of Aurcana.

Aurcana Silver Corp Ships First Concentrate Production and Announces Management Change
Mr. Kevin Drover reports:
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 23, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AURCANA SILVER CORPORATION ("Aurcana" or the "Company") (TSXV: AUN; OTCQF: AUNFF) is pleased to announce that it has shipped its first concentrate production from its wholly owned Revenue-Virginius Mine, located in Ouray, Colorado, USA.
The Company continues to mine high-grade ore during this time of reduced underground capacity. The processing system’s capability has been demonstrated through the mill operating at design capacity and the ability to produce shippable concentrate. However, the lack of consistent ore feed from the mine has been a bottleneck to optimizing processing performance.
Going forward, the near term operating plan is to continue to mine the two available stopes on the 1800 level and create a stockpile that will help ensure a longer period of sustained processing run-time. It is expected enough ore will be stockpiled to enable the processing plant to restart again during the first week of January.
Although the delays in specific underground development projects has meant the mine has been slower to get to full production than originally planned, a number of very important milestones have been achieved for the Revenue-Virginius Mine restart. First, the grade on the 1800 level based on assay results from samples taken from development advance shows the grade is as expected or better when compared against the geological model. The Company expects to be incorporating these assay results into future resource work. Second, the mine has proved the resue mining method works well for this ore-body in both dilution and geotechnical control features. And third, the processing facility has demonstrated that it can perform when given suitable ore feed to run at design rates and make sellable concentrates.
The Company continues to evaluate its development plan and timeline and will update shareholders in the new year. The #1 Raise Hoist remains the main bottleneck to achieving target mining productivities and its completion is a key to the success of the overall operation. Work on the #1 Raise Hoist continues and is the number one priority in the mine. Completion is now scheduled for May of 2022.
Aurcana also announces the resignation of Brian Briggs from the position of Chief Operating Officer of Aurcana Silver Corp and from the position of Chief Executive Officer of Ouray Silver Mining Inc (“OSMI”). The responsibilities and duties of these positions will be shared among existing managers and officers of the Company and OSMI.

Chris Marcus: CFTC suppresses silver manipulation evidence again
Earlier this year, acting CFTC chairman Rustin Benham confirmed that his agency took steps to cap the price of #silver. which is certainly an unusual comment for a regulator to make.
However, in following up with the agency to get clarity, I was able to contact the public media director, and in tonight's video you’ll find out what happened.
So if you want to know the truth about silver manipulation and the CFTC, click to watch the interview now!

Aurcana Silver Provides Operations Update
Vancouver, BC – November 23, 2021 – Aurcana SILVER Corporation ("Aurcana" or the "Company") (TSXV: AUN; OTCQF: AUNFF) advises shareholders and the general market of a rock movement event at the Company’s wholly owned Revenue Virginius mine. No fatalities or injuries occurred, but ongoing operations will be temporarily impacted. The rock movement which occurred in the #2 Alimak Raise, which provided access to/from the stoping level for both men/materials as well as ore handing, will create a temporary material productivity limitation to underground production.
Following the incident, underground operations were temporarily suspended while the incident was investigated. Management has decided to use one of two raises solely as an ore/waste pass while using the other raise to provide access for people and materials. Operations have resumed, but this decision reduces the underground vertical transportation capacity by 50% until such time as the hoist in the #1 Raise, which is the long term primary conduit for men and materials, is fully operational.
Due to this change and based on the current cash resources available to the Company, management has decided to temporarily halt ongoing development activities other than those relating to the completion of the #1 Raise hoist and focus on concentrate production from the existing available stopes.
In addition, due to the temporary work curtailment, the Company has provided notice to employees in compliance with the WARN Act of 1988. The Company continues to operate but at a reduced capacity and is retaining personnel consistent with the current objectives.
The Company’s plans to manage operations are continuing to evolve and the Company cannot forecast what production levels may be achieved given the change to underground vertical transportation capacity. The Company will provide an update as soon as possible.

Aurcana Silver Provides Update on Mill Commissioning and Mine Ore Sampling
Vancouver, BC – October 5, 2021 – Aurcana SILVER Corporation ("Aurcana" or the "Company") (TSXV: AUN, OTCQF: AUNFF) is pleased to provide an update on development progress for the 1800 level stopes and mill operations.
The mill construction is complete and final commissioning of the mill is ongoing. Development ore was stockpiled for processing during the commission period with final commissioning to coincide with stope ore. Mill throughput has been tested as high as 13 tons per hour (tph) 312 tons per day (tpd) without any major issues arising. The targeted mill throughput is 270 tph. Both lead and zinc concentrates are being produced and it is anticipated that the first shipment will occur during the week of October 4th. Although early in the start-up process, metallurgical performance of the mill and flotation circuits appear to be as forecast in the Feasibility Study.
Lateral development on the 1800 level is progressing well; the first stope ore came online from the 1800 level on September 25th. Geological sampling of development headings shows an average weighted silver equivalent grade of 39 ounces per short ton, with grades as high as 196 ounces per short ton (AgEq/ton) compared to the modeled grades in the same area of approximately 27 AgEq/ton.
The first stope will be brought into the production sequence in phases, based on the timeline indicated in Figure 1.

Aurcana Starts Producing Silver - CEO Kevin Drover
Tickers - OTCQX: AUNFF - TSX.V: AUN
For the first time in ages, a new American silver mine has started producing silver. It's been a challenge, but they've beaten the odds. Drover expects positive cash flow starting in October. Initial expectations are for approximately 270 tons per day of rock going through the mill and then rising soon to 500 tons per day. Due to inflation, cost per ounce is somewhat above the original estimate of $8, however the initial ore grades are coming in much higher than expected. If it continues this way, annual mine production and profit could increase substantially.
Getting the Texas based Shafter mine into production is next on Drover's list. When all is said and done, Aurcana could eventually be producing 8-9 million silver ounces per year, which would put it firmly in the mid-tier producer camp. He's also exploring a nearby acquisition candidate that includes another 500 ton per day mill. It's just a short distance from the now producing Revenue Virginius mine.
The company has made the transition to silver production. Now it's a matter of leveraging its current position to make sound acquisitions and to get the Shafter mine working. Aurcana's future has never looked brighter.

Aurcana Silver Provides Update on the Restart Progress of Its Revenue Virginius Mine, With First Ore Through the Mill
Vancouver, BC – August 30, 2021 – Aurcana SILVER Corporation ("Aurcana" or the "Company") (TSXV:AUN; OTCQX:AUNFF) is pleased to provide an update on the restart activities of the Company’s wholly owned Revenue Virginius Mine in Ouray, Colorado.
The Company is pleased to report that the processing plant initiated commissioning with development ore on Friday August 27, 2021. This is an important milestone in the restart of full operations, with stope ore to be processed in the near future. The Company plans to continue to ramp up to the full production rate of 270 short tons per day over the month of September.
The Company is also pleased to report that initial assay results from the 1800 drift level show an average undiluted grade over 78 feet of drift of 54.0 (33.9 diluted to a minimum mining width of 1.5 ft) ounces per ton silver equivalent (AgEq)1 per short ton (ST). The actual measured vein width in this area is 1.19ft as compared to the modeled vein width for the same 78 feet of 0.23 feet and an undiluted grade of 26.9 (4.2 diluted to a minimum mining width of 1.5 ft) AgEq1/ST over for the same drift section. Assay data lags actual development and the Company looks forward to reporting more assay results in the near future, but visual inspections each shift indicate that this strong mineralization continues.
Concentrate shipments are anticipated to begin in the first half of September. Trafigura Trading LLC is the off-taker for 100% of the concentrates and will pay 95% of the contained metals value based on the mine site concentrate assays at the time of shipment, with final settlement based on smelter returns.
Kevin Drover commented “These additional assay results – 15 feet below the first mining stope – which confirm the mineralization is as we expected is the key data validation point we needed to confirm that we can be successful. Mining productivity at the face has been strong and we have some of the best miners in the business working for us. While some logistics issues related to movement of ore and waste in the same underground area slowed our initial development in opening up the production stopes, these short term delays are resolvable as the stope is opened to its full length. With this grade confirmation in hand, the processing plant now moving into commissioning, and with logistics improving rapidly as the first production stope expands both north and south, we are very confident of a successful restart.” Qualified Person Statement

Vancouver, BC – May 4, 2021 – Aurcana SILVER Corporation ("Aurcana" or the "Company") (TSXV: AUN, OTCQX: AUNFF) is pleased to provide a construction update and a production outlook for the remainder of 2021 for its Revenue Virginius Mine, (RV) located near Ouray, Colorado.
Mine Development
* Underground mine development is proceeding on schedule with three raises being driven vertically from the 2000 main haulage level 800 feet to the 1200 level (See Figure 1 below).
* The #1 Alimak Raise is advancing vertically at an average rate exceeding 16 feet per day and is scheduled to be complete by late May, after which the hoist and shaft timber will be installed for permanent men and material access.
* The #2 Alimak Raise has progressed up to the 1500 Level and is temporarily being used for men and materials transport from the 2000 level to the 1800 and 1500 level pending completion of #1 Alimak Raise.
* The #3 Alimak Raise vertical development began in May and is scheduled to reach the 1800 level by the third week of May.
* On completion of #1 Alimak Raise, the #2 and # 3 Alimak raises will be dedicated ore and waste raises.
* Level (horizontal) development has commenced on the 1800 level to intersect the Virginius vein, which is scheduled to occur during the third week of May. Following this, development will continue by driving drifts both north and south on vein for over 1000 feet to prepare for stope development.
* Stope development on the 1800 level is estimated to begin in late June with first ore to the mill in early July.
* Ore development on 1800 level is on schedule to deliver initial ore to the processing plant in July. Two stopes (mining blocks) on the 1800 level will provide the initial ore supply while stopes on the 1500 level are developed.
* It is anticipated that four stopes will be available by year end 2021 (two stopes per level) to supply the processing plant.
However only two stopes are required to provide the 270 tons per day as specified in the 2018 feasibility study (the “2018 FS”) prepared in accordance with National Instrument NI 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). A copy of the 2018 FS is posted on the Company’s website www.aurcana.com and is also available on the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Processing Plant Preparation
* All processing plant upgrades including installing additional flotation capacity, replacing cyclones with sizing screens, installing a rod mill, installing crushers and conveyors along with a new instrument control system will be completed by mid-June. Processing plant commissioning with water is scheduled for the last week of June with first ore through the processing plant in the second week of July.
* Final work on the transition chute from the coarse ore bin to the new primary pan feeder is scheduled to be completed by July 10th, 2021 and will enable full processing plant operation.
* Throughput will be ramped up over the course of July to reach 111 ton per day (tpd) during August, and then to the full production level of 270 tpd during September.
* Concentrate shipments will be in 100 ton lots and are anticipated to begin in early August. Trafigura Trading LLC is the off-taker for 100% of the concentrates and will pay the value of 95% of the contained metals based on the mine site concentrate assays at the time of shipment, with final settlement based on smelter returns.
* Payable silver equivalent1 production for the period between August to December 2021 is anticipated to be 1,300,000-1,600,000 ounces at an estimated cash operating costs of between USD10.00 to USD12.00/oz silver after by-product credits2.
