Defiance Silver Clarifies Disclosure
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 21, 2013) - Defiance Silver Corp. (TSX VENTURE:DEF) ("Defiance" or the "Company") announces that as a result of a review by the British Securities Commission, the Company is issuing the following news release to clarify its disclosure.
As of March 14, 2013 the Company on its San Acacio and Veta Grande project pages of its corporate website referred to a previous historical resource calculation by Source Exploration Corp as "an historic indicated resource of 18 million ounces of silver". This statement should have referenced the historical resource calculated by Source Exploration Corp as 4.05 million ounces of indicated resource contained in 1.49 million tonnes at a grade of 84.9 g/t silver and a total of 14.35 million ounces of inferred silver resource contained in 3.44 million tonnes at a grade of 80.0 g/t silver and 0.74 million tonnes at a grade of 232.6 g/t silver. The Company combined the indicated and inferred resource ounces of silver which is contrary to NI 43-101 policy guidelines. Although the Company correctly categorized the Source Exploration Corp resource as historical in nature on the two project pages, on its home page the Company failed to indicate the Source Exploration resource was historical in nature. The Company also failed to update its website information to include the NI 43-101 compliant resource of 3.55 million ounces of silver contained in 1.15 million tonnes grading 95.8 g/t silver and 12.45 million ounces of silver contained in 2.89 million tonnes grading 134.1 g/t silver as announced in the Company's news release dated October 25, 2013. To correct any misconceptions, the Company is not basing a production decision either on the historical resource announced by Source Exploration on May 21, 2010 nor on the current NI 43-101 compliant resource as announced by the Company on October 26, 2013. The Company has either removed or corrected the portions of the website pages that were in error.
The Company's Corporate Brochure and Fact Sheet, previously available on its website, contained statements that were not compliant with NI 43-101. In the Factsheet, the Company for brevity in presentation on page one combined the indicated and inferred resource from the NI 43-101 compliant resource calculation announced in the Company's news release dated October 25, 2012 referencing that the details of the breakdown of the indicated and inferred resources was included the reverse side of the Fact Sheet. The Company was incorrect in doing so and should not have combined the indicated and inferred resources on page one. Also on the page two of the Fact Sheet where the compliant NI 43-101 resource was presented in tabular form, the Company failed to provide the reference to its news release of October 26, 2012 which provides the: effective date of each estimate of mineral resources and mineral reserves; key assumptions, parameters, and methods used to estimate the mineral resources and mineral reserves; and the identification of any known legal, political, environmental, or other risks that could materially affect the potential development of the mineral resources or mineral reserves. This was an oversight by the Company.
In the Corporate PowerPoint Presentation, previously available on its website, the Company included on page 3 a comparison chart between the Company and six other companies that either have or are preparing to develop silver mining operations in historic silver mining districts in Mexico. In the comparison table the Company for brevity of presentation incorrectly presented a global resource for each of the seven companies instead of presenting the breakdown of the resources and reserves of the different companies in the correct NI 43-101 compliant categories of proven and probable reserves, and measured, indicated, and inferred resources. This disclosure was also non-compliant with NI 43-101 as it presented a resource solely in the form of metal content instead of providing details of tonnage and grade used to calculate the amount of contained metal. This was meant to be an indication of the value added potential for the Company if it was successful in developing its mill and mine assets in the historic Zacatecas Silver District but the presentation of the reserves and resources was incorrect and non NI 40-101 compliant and no conclusions should be drawn from the chart previously presented on page three of the Corporate Presentation. On pages 10 and 12 of the Corporate Presentation previously available on its website, the Company for brevity of presentation referred to a combined resource of 16 million ounces of silver of undefined resource category for the San Acacio property which was non-compliant statement. The San Acacio resource should have been broken down as indicated and inferred resources as announced in the Company's news release of October 25, 2012.
Copies of the Company's revised Fact Sheet and Corporate Presentation will be posted on its corporate website once corrected.
In the Company's MD&A dated December 31, 2012, the reference made to a resource for the Encantada Mine of First Majestic Silver without breaking it down into NI 43-101 compliant categories and expressing the resource in metal content only, was incorrect.
The Company on both its website and in the Fact Sheet previously available on its website failed to identify that Bruce Winfield, the Qualified Person under section 3.1 of NI 43-101, is also the President and CEO of the Company. The Fact Sheet as well as the website will be revised to include this additional information.
Mr. Bruce Winfield, P.Geo., President and CEO of the Company is the Qualified Person for information contained in this press release and is a Qualified Person within the meaning of NI 43-101.
On behalf of Defiance Silver Corp.

Defiance Silver Announces NI 43-101 Compliant Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource for San Acacio Silver Project, Mexico
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Oct. 25, 2012) - Defiance Silver Corp. (TSX VENTURE:DEF) ("Defiance" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that a National Instrument 43-101 ("NI") compliant indicated and inferred resource estimate has been completed for the San Acacio deposit by AGP Mining Consultants Inc. ("AGP").
Highlights
Bruce Winfield, President and CEO, comments, "We are extremely pleased to have reached this milestone of a 43-101 compliant resource for the San Acacio Mine. The high grade of the mineralized backfill indicates the high grade nature of the ore shoots previously mined within the deposit. We look forward to releasing additional news as Defiance aggressively continues advancing the San Acacio Mine towards production and expanding the resource base."
The Zacatecas Silver District is one of the most prolific silver producing areas in the world, having produced in excess of 681 million ounces of Silver during the period 1546 to 1895 (Geological Mining Monograph of the State of Zacatecas). The San Acacio Mine controls approximately 50% of the historic workings on the Veta Grande system which has estimated past production of in excess of 200 million ounces of silver. With mineralization open to depth as well as along strike for 4 kilometers with no modern exploration, Defiance believes that excellent potential exists to expand the current resource base.

Defiance Extends San Acacio Silver Mine Purchase Option to 2015
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - July 31, 2012) - Defiance Silver Corp ("Defiance") (TSX VENTURE:DEF) is pleased to announce the successful renegotiation of the option agreement to acquire the San Acacio Silver Mine located in Zacatecas State Mexico. The new agreement has pushed the option exercise payment from May 2013 to August 2015.
"I am extremely pleased with the substantial increase in the time allowed to purchase the San Acacio Mine," stated Bruce Winfield, CEO. "Three years is sufficient time to allow Defiance to explore, develop and finance the San Acacio Mine. This extension also allows us to align the mine development schedule with the refurbishment and recommencement of the 200 tpd Santa Gabriela Mill. Together, the mine and mill enable Defiance to enter the ranks of silver producers within 15 months of receiving financing.
The original agreement granted Defiance nine months from the signing of the definitive trust agreement and the payment of $275,000 USD in option payments to make a $5.5 Million USD payment to acquire the mine. The new agreement gives Defiance 3 years from the signing of the trust agreement to make the $5.5 million purchase payment. The new agreement consists of a $275,000 payment anticipated to occur in August 2012 that extends the option to August 2013, a $150,000 option payment to extend the option to August 2014 and a $225,000 option payment to extend the option to August 2015. As in the original agreement, the vender retains a 2.5% NSR which may be purchased for $2.5 million.
About Defiance Silver:
Defiance Silver Corp. is a near term silver producer engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of advanced silver projects in Zacatecas Mexico. Defiance is focused on: 1) the purchase and refurbishment of the 200 tpd Santa Gabriela Mill, 2) the exercising of an option to purchase the San Acacio Mine, and 3) the definition of feed for the Santa Gabriela Mill from surface dumps and the San Acacio Mine with its historical resource (reference Defiance Silver Corp New release dated November 1, 2011).

Defiance Silver Makes Initial Payment For Processing Plant in Zacatecas - Revised
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 8, 2012) - Defiance Silver Corp ("Defiance") (TSX VENTURE:DEF) is pleased to announce that it has made the first payment under its option agreement with IMPACT Silver Corp ("IMPACT") to acquire the Santa Gabriela 200tpd processing plant. Defiance has the option to purchase the Santa Gabriela processing plant in the historic Zacatecas Silver District from IMPACT in return for the payment of 2,680,500 Defiance common shares and a the payment of $1,955,200 payable within two years of the signing of the option agreement or upon commercial production.
As part of its strategy to become a near term producer, Defiance plans to refurbish the flotation processing plant and bring it into commercial production within 15 months after the completion of the two private placement financings totaling $6,000,000 announced February 16, 2012. An integral part of the plan is to also exercise the option which Defiance holds to acquire and develop the San Acacio mine located three kilometers from the Santa Gabriela processing plant. A prior National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") compliant report prepared by PEG Mining Consultants Inc. (Source) dated May 21st, 2010 and filed on SEDAR (under the profile of Source Exploration Corp), provided a historical estimate calculated using a 65 g/t silver cutoff of an Indicated resource of 3.55 million ounces of silver and 7600 ounces of gold (1.15 mt grading 95.8 g/t silver and 0.2 g/t gold) as well as an Inferred resource of 12.39 million ounces of silver and 16,100 ounces of gold (2.88 mt grading 134.1 g/t silver and 0.17 g/t gold). The Inferred resource includes approximately 720,000 tonnes of mineralized backfill material existing in the old stopes grading 236.7g/t silver and 0.21 g/t gold. Defiance has contacted AGP Mining Consultants Inc. a successor company to PEG Mining Consultants Inc to reformat the Source report to conform with the current NI 43-101 requirements and include results from three underground drillholes completed by Source in 2010 after their NI 43-101 compliant report was written. The reliability of the historical data used in the Source report is unknown but is considered relevant by Defiance management. The historical data is non-NI 43-101 compliant and should not be relied upon. It is Defiance's intention to verify the historical data and confirmation work may produce results that differ substantially from the historic results.
"This is an exciting milestone in Defiance's plans to become a silver producer in the historic Zacatecas Silver District", stated Bruce Winfield, President and CEO of Defiance Silver Corp. "We are also very pleased to have the support of IMPACT Silver Corp through its equity interest in Defiance." It is important to note that production is subject to confirmation of resources and in the absence of a feasibility study, there is no certainty the proposed operation will achieve commercial production.
Defiance is a near-term silver producer in Mexico. With a strong team of proven mine finders and developers, Defiance is focused upon being an aggressive explorer and acquirer of exploration and development silver projects in the historic billion-ounce silver producing Zacatecas District.

Defiance Silver Corp. Stakes 24,500 Ha Claim Over Historic Minerva Mining District
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Feb. 21, 2012) - Defiance Silver Corp (TSX VENTURE:DEF) ("Defiance") is pleased to announce the acquisition by staking of the 24,500 hectare blanket claim covering the historic Minerva Mining District in northern Coahuila State, Mexico. The Minerva Mining District is located 5 km west of the La Encantada Silver mine owned by First Majestic Silver Corp. which is projected to produce over 4 million oz of silver in 2012.
The Minerva claim completely surrounds a number of older claims whose historic workings formed the Minerva Mining District which in turn is part of a northeast - southwest trend of four mining districts. The Minerva Mining District consists of carbonate hosted replacement mineralization similar to that at La Encantada as well as numerous occurrences of disseminated mineralization in a granitic stock. Chip sampling from outcrops and grab samples from dumps associated with historic workings on inlier claims returned carbonate hosted manto style mineralization grading 0.15 - 0.45 g/t gold, 270 - 565 g/t silver, 11.1 - 13.6% lead, 0.8 - 16.7% zinc and 0.31 - 0.41% copper. Disseminated style mineralization associated with an intrusive stock returned values of 53 g/t silver, 2.2% lead, 0.11% copper and 7.9% zinc.
The claim has good access from Muzquiz by 165 km of paved and gravel roads with several smaller towns close to the claim providing good infrastructure.
Defiance intends to carry out a preliminary exploration program of satellite imagery analysis, surface sampling and mapping, and geophysics to define drill targets below the shallow pediment cover.
Defiance Silver Corp is a near-term silver producer in Mexico. With a strong team of proven mine finders and developers, Defiance is focused upon being an aggressive explorer and acquirer of exploration and development silver projects in the historic billion-ounce silver producing Zacatecas District.

Defiance Silver Corp. Options Mexican Silver Mine
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Nov. 1, 2011) - Defiance Silver Corp (TSX VENTURE:DEF) ("Defiance") is pleased to announce the signing of an option agreement to acquire from a private Mexican company, a 100% interest in the San Acacio silver mine located in the historic Zacatecas Silver District, Mexico. The past producing San Acacio mine consisting of 10 mining concessions totaling 7.46 km2, hosts the southeastern half of the Veta Grande vein system, one of the three prominent vein systems in the historic billion-ounce silver producing Zacatecas Silver District.
Since discovery of silver in the Zacatecas District in 1546, historical sources estimate that over 180 million ounces of silver have been extracted from the Veta Grande vein system. Old mine workings on the Veta Grande vein system extend to a vertical depth of 335 meters accessing four separate veins of which the Veta Grande was the most important. Early production focused on the near surface rich oxide portions of the veins with lesser production from the deeper sulphide ores.
A prior National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") compliant report prepared by PEG Mining Consultants Inc. dated May 21st, 2010 and filed on SEDAR (under the profile of Source Exploration Corp.), provided a historical estimate of an Indicated resource of 4.05 million ounces of silver and 9000 ounces of gold as well as an Inferred resource of 14.35 million ounces of silver and 22,200 ounces of gold. The Inferred resource includes approximately 740,000 tonnes of mineralized backfill material existing in the old stopes grading 232.6g/t silver and 0.20 g/t gold. (See Source Exploration Corp. News Release dated June 22, 2010). Partial access to the mineralized material in the old stopes is available at the Refugio adit elevation. Defiance's previously optioned Santa Gabriela mill is located within 5 km of the San Acacio property.
The mineral resource estimate is based on 41 drills holes completed by Source Exploration Corp. and Silver Standard Resources and 371 drill core assay values contained within the mineralized zones. This data was complemented with 275 underground chip samples sourced from Silver Standard and Sterling Mining level plans. Defiance did not commission the PEG Mining Consultants report. Defiance has not verified the data underlying the resource estimates, but has no reason to expect the estimates to be erroneous in any way. However as a Defiance commissioned Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify this historical estimate as current mineral resources, the issuer is not treating this historical estimate as current mineral resources and the historical estimate should not be relied upon.
The San Acacio property, which hosts over 60% of the known Veta Grande vein system, has excellent exploration potential. The 2012 exploration program will concentrate on drill testing along strike and down dip from the known mineralized veins to expand the historical mineral resources, as well as mapping, trenching and sampling to identify drill targets on the strike extensions to the southeast that have not been subjected to modern exploration techniques.
The total purchase price for the proposed acquisition is US$5.75 million dollars with a royalty on production from the property. On signing the option agreement, Defiance paid US$25,000 for an initial 90 day period for evaluation and due diligence which can be extended for a further 90 days on payment of US$50,000. On or before the end of the initial or the extended option periods, Defiance can execute a purchase agreement upon paying US$250,000 or US$200,000 respectively with a deferred purchase payment of US$5.5 million for a period of 12 or 9 months respectively. The purchase agreement also provides for a 2.5% net smelter return royalty payable to the vendor on production from the property. Defiance will have the right to purchase the royalty at any time for the price of US$2.5 million which after five years will escalate with the official Mexican Inflation Index.
Under terms of the purchase agreement, Defiance can also purchase: surface rights covering 12 ha controlling the adit access to the underground workings for US$5,000; and surface rights covering 12.0246 ha on which are located approximately 300,000 tonnes of tailings from the former San Acacio mine which can be purchased for a price of US$1.50 per tonne of tailings as defined by future Defiance work programs.
"This potential acquisition is a major advance in Defiance's strategic plan to become a significant silver producer and land consolidator in the Zacatecas silver district and will complement the option agreement to acquire the Santa Gabriela processing plant from IMPACT Silver Corp. announced September 12, 2011," stated Bruce Winfield, President and CEO.
Defiance Silver Corp. is a near-term silver producer in Mexico. With a strong team of proven mine finders and developers, Defiance is focused upon being an aggressive explorer and acquirer of exploration and development silver projects in the historic billion-ounce silver producing Zacatecas District.
