Discovery Silver Corp. (TSX-V: DSV, OTCQX: DSVSF)
(“Discovery” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce results from
13 diamond drill holes targeting bulk-tonnage mineralization at its
flagship Cordero silver project (“Cordero” or “the Project”)
located in Chihuahua State, Mexico. The holes are part of a Phase 1
drill program scheduled for completion at the end of this month.
The results from this program will be incorporated in a new
resource estimate and revamped PEA in the second half of the year.
Phase 1 drilling will be immediately followed by Phase 2 definition
and expansion drilling.
Highlight intercepts include:
- 128.2 m
averaging 165 g/t AgEq1 from 312.4 m (65
g/t Ag, 0.05 g/t Au, 1.2% Pb and 1.3% Zn) including 26.1 m
averaging 263 g/t AgEq1 (109 g/t Ag, 0.06
g/t Au, 2.0% Pb, 1.9% Zn) in hole C20-405
- 110.0 m
averaging 110 g/t AgEq1 from 137.1 m (37 g/t Ag, 0.04 g/t
Au, 0.8% Pb and 1.0% Zn) and 51.8 m averaging 184 g/t
AgEq1 (65 g/t Ag, 0.05 g/t Au, 1.6% Pb,
1.4% Zn) in hole C21-414
-
27.4 m averaging 279 g/t AgEq1 from 382.0 m (78
g/t Ag, 0.08 g/t Au, 1.3% Pb and 3.6% Zn) in hole C20-407
Taj Singh, President and CEO, states: “Our Phase
1 drill program, which will conclude at the end of this month, will
form the basis for our upcoming resource update and PEA scheduled
for the second half of the year. Drill results to date, including
those presented today, have surpassed all expectations, and
demonstrate the scale, continuity and higher-grade nature of the
mineralized system at Cordero. We look forward to carrying this
momentum into our Phase 2 drill program with drilling continuing
uninterrupted and targeting focused on high-grade vein delineation
and bulk-tonnage reserve definition and resource expansion.”
DRILL RESULTS:
Drill holes from this release build further
higher-grade bulk-tonnage continuity in the South Corridor within
northeast trending domains. These domains have been defined over a
strike length of approximately 1.4 km and are open to the northeast
and have been drilled to a depth of 500 m and remain open below
this. Higher-grade zones of mineralization are typically flanked by
medium and lower-grade mineralization pointing to the scaleability
of the mineralized system at Cordero. Mineralization typically
consists of galena, sphalerite and pyrite in disseminations,
veinlets and stockworks predominately hosted in breccia, rhyodacite
and intervals of replacement mineralization in calcareous
sediments.
Drill hole locations are shown in Figure 1 (see
links below) and detailed drill highlights from the 13 holes in
this release are provided in the table below.

1All results in this news release are rounded.
Assays are uncut and undiluted. Widths are drilled widths, not true
widths, as a full interpretation of the actual orientation of
mineralization is not complete. Intervals with stockwork
mineralization were chosen based on a 25 g/t AgEq cutoff with no
more than 10 m of dilution. Intervals with vein mineralization were
based on a 100 g/t AgEq cutoff with no more than 1 m of dilution.
AgEq calculations are used as the basis for total metal content
calculations given Ag is the dominant metal constituent as a
percentage of AgEq value in approximately 70% of the Company’s
mineralized intercepts. AgEq calculations for reported drill
results are based on USD $16.50/oz Ag, $1,350/oz Au, $0.85/lb Pb,
$1.00/lb Zn. The calculations assume 100% metallurgical recovery
and are indicative of gross in-situ metal value at the indicated
metal prices. Refer to Technical Notes below for metallurgical
recoveries assumed in the 2018 PEA completed on Cordero.
PHASE 1 DRILL PROGRAM
UPDATE:
The Company has completed 70,100 m (171 holes)
as part of its expanded Phase 1 drill program that started in
September 2019 and is scheduled for completion at the end of this
month. Assays from 43 holes are pending. Data from Phase 1 drilling
will be used to support the bulk-tonnage resource update and PEA
scheduled for the second half of the year.
The four drill rigs currently operating on site
will continue uninterrupted with Phase 2 drilling. Phase 2 drilling
will be focused on three key areas: (1) upgrading inferred
resources to indicated for inclusion in a prefeasibility study on
Cordero; (2) resource expansion of bulk-tonnage mineralization; and
(3) testing of the width, grade and continuity of extensive
high-grade vein systems that transect the deposit.

Sample analysis and QA/QC ProgramTrue widths of
reported drill intercepts have not been determined. Assays are
uncut except where indicated. All core assays are from HQ drill
core unless stated otherwise. Drill core is logged and sampled in a
secure core storage facility located at the project site 40km north
of the city of Parral. Core samples from the program are cut in
half, using a diamond cutting saw, and are sent to ALS
Geochemistry-Mexico for preparation in Chihuahua City, Mexico, and
subsequently pulps are sent to ALS Vancouver, Canada, which is an
accredited mineral analysis laboratory, for analysis. All samples
are prepared using a method whereby the entire sample is crushed to
70% passing -2mm, a split of 250g is taken and pulverized to better
than 85% passing 75 microns. Samples are analyzed for gold using
standard Fire Assay-AAS techniques (Au-AA24) from a 50g pulp. Over
limits are analyzed by fire assay and gravimetric finish. Samples
are also analyzed using thirty three-element inductively coupled
plasma method (“ME-ICP61”). Over limit sample values are re-assayed
for: (1) values of zinc > 1%; (2) values of lead > 1%; and
(3) values of silver > 100 g/t. Samples are re-assayed using the
ME-OG62 (high-grade material ICP-AES) analytical package. For
values of silver greater than 1,500 g/t, samples are re-assayed
using the Ag-CON01 analytical method, a standard 30 g fire assay
with gravimetric finish. Certified standards and blanks are
routinely inserted into all sample shipments to ensure integrity of
the assay process. Selected samples are chosen for duplicate assay
from the coarse reject and pulps of the original sample. No QAQC
issues were noted with the results reported herein.
