Discovery Silver Corp. (TSX-V: DSV, OTCQX: DSVSF)
(“Discovery” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce results from
the final drill holes that will be used to support the new resource
estimate on its flagship Cordero silver project (“Cordero” or “the
Project”) located in Chihuahua State, Mexico. The resource update
is scheduled for completion toward the end of this quarter and will
be followed by an updated PEA in 4Q 2021.
Taj Singh, President and CEO, states: “The
results from our first drill program at Cordero, including further
exceptional results in this release, have exceeded our
expectations. We have not only confirmed the size and scaleability
of Cordero, but also highlighted the excellent margin potential of
the Project too. The large volume of drill data we have added,
totaling 91,000 m in 223 holes, has also significantly de-risked
the Project. This new drilling, which will be complemented by our
reinterpretation of the geological and structural controls of the
deposit, provides a strong platform on which the upcoming resource
and PEA will be based.”
Highlight intercepts include:
- 217.3 m
averaging 194 g/t AgEq1 from 39.3 m (75 g/t Ag, 0.45 g/t
Au, 1.1% Pb and 1.0% Zn) in hole C21-481 including:
- 81.9 m
averaging 254 g/t AgEq1 (99 g/t Ag, 0.54 g/t Au, 1.5% Pb
and 1.4% Zn)
-
25.5 m averaging 404 g/t AgEq1 from 147.2 m (236
g/t Ag, 0.55 g/t Au, 1.2% Pb and 1.9% Zn) in hole C21-482
including:
- 1.5 m
averaging 3,763 g/t AgEq1 (2,552 g/t Ag, 2.33 g/t Au,
13.3% Pb & 13.3% Zn)
-
56.8 m averaging 139 g/t AgEq1 from 358.7 m (40
g/t Ag, 0.05 g/t Au, 0.7% Pb and 1.7% Zn) in hole C21-442
-
52.5 m averaging 128 g/t AgEq1 from 214.8 m (42
g/t Ag, 0.08 g/t Au, 0.7% Pb and 1.3% Zn) and 54.9 m
averaging 133 g/t AgEq1 from 392.8 m (39 g/t Ag, 0.06 g/t
Au, 0.9% Pb and 1.3% Zn) in hole C21-493
DRILL RESULTS:
The final drill holes for the updated resource
estimate were from multiple zones in both the North and South
Corridors. Drilling in the South Corridor along the Josefina vein
trend continues to intercept high-grade veins within broader zones
of disseminated mineralization. Highlight intercepts include 25.5 m
of 404 g/t AgEq1 from 147.2 m (C21-482), 21.0 m of 197 g/t AgEq1
from 121.5 m (C21-474) and 23.7 m of 195 g/t AgEq1 from 24.8 m
(C21-516).
Infill drilling within the central part of the
South Corridor was also successful in confirming continuity of
mineralization within the higher-grade bulk-tonnage domain.
Highlight intercepts include 52.5m of 128 g/t AgEq1 and 54.9 m of
133 g/t AgEq1 (C21-493) and 51.0m @ 107 g/t AgEq1 and 69.2 m of 121
g/t AgEq1 (C21-504). Drilling in the South Corridor in the Far NE
returned mixed results suggesting limited potential to extent the
high-grade bulk-tonnage domain in this part of the deposit.
In the North Corridor, hole C20-481 confirmed
the excellent starter pit potential of the Pozo de Plata zone
returning 217.3m of 194 g/t AgEq. The mineralized zone sits
partially within a higher-grade breccia unit more than 150 m wide
and started near-surface (39.3 m downhole) and consistently
reported excellent grades through the entire +200 m interval.
Drill hole locations are shown in Figure 1 (see

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. As a guideline, intervals with
disseminated 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.
DRILL PROGRAM UPDATE:
Resource drilling: all
assays from drilling that will support the updated resource have
now been received. This drilling, totaling 91,000 m (223 holes),
will supplement the 133,000 m (292 holes) of historic drilling
completed on the Project. The resource update is scheduled for
completion later this quarter and will be followed by an updated
PEA in 4Q 2021.
Phase 2 drilling: The Company
has completed 10,000 m (21 holes) as part of its Phase 2 drill
program (excluding drill metres used to support the updated
resource) which will be ongoing through the remainder of the year.
Phase 2 drilling will be focused on three key areas: (1) upgrading
inferred resources for inclusion in a prefeasibility study; (2)
resource expansion of bulk-tonnage mineralization; and (3) testing
of the width, grade and continuity of the extensive high-grade vein
systems that transect the deposit. There are currently four drill
rigs operating on site.

About Discovery
Discovery’s flagship project is its 100%-owned
Cordero project, one of the few silver projects globally that
offers margin, size and scaleability. Cordero is located close to
infrastructure in a prolific mining belt in Chihuahua State,
Mexico, and is supported by an industry leading balance sheet with
over C$80 million available for aggressive exploration, resource
expansion and future development. Discovery was a recipient of the
2020 TSX Venture 50 award and the 2021 OTCQX Best 50
award. On Behalf of the Board of Directors,

Sample analysis and QA/QC ProgramThe true width
of the veins is estimated to be approximately 70% of the drilled
width. 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.

TECHNICAL NOTES & FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS:
The most recent technical report for the Cordero
