National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) technical report titled
Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Cordero Silver Project
Chihuahua State, Mexico, dated November 30, 2021 (the “Technical
Report”), in respect of Discovery’s Cordero deposit in Mexico. The

from AGP Mining Consultants Inc. and Knight Piésold and Co. (USA).
The filing of the Technical Report follows the
Company’s news release issued November 30, 2021, announcing its
Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) on the Cordero project.
Highlights from the PEA as outlined in this previous news release
include (all figures in USD unless otherwise noted):
-
Excellent project economics: Base Case after-tax
NPV5% of $1.2 B (C$1.5 B) and IRR of 38% (Ag - $22.00/oz, Au -
$1,600/oz, Pb - $1.00/lb and Zn - $1.20/lb).
-
Exceptional silver price leverage: Upside Case
after-tax NPV5% of $1.9 B (C$2.4 B) and IRR of 55% (Ag - $27.50/oz,
Au - $1,880/oz, Pb - $1.10/lb and Zn - $1.45/lb based on one-year
trailing 90th percentile prices).
-
Large-scale, high-margin, long mine life asset:
16-year mine life with average annual production of 26 Moz AgEq at
an AISC of $12.35/oz AgEq.
-
Low capital intensity: initial development capex
of $368 M; attractive NPV-to-capex ratio of 3.2x.
-
Rapid payback: after-tax payback of 2.0 years for
Base Case and 1.4 years for Upside Case.
-
Technically robust study: 99% of tonnes processed
in the PEA mine plan are in the Measured & Indicated category;
process design and metallurgical recovery estimates are based on
the Company’s comprehensive 2021 metallurgical testwork
program.
-
Silver-dominant revenues: silver represents +60%
of the net smelter return in the first five years of the mine life
and +50% of the net smelter return over the life of mine, in-line
with the senior/mid-tier silver producer group.
About Discovery
Discovery’s flagship project is its 100%-owned
Cordero project, one of the world’s largest silver deposits. The
PEA completed in November 2021 demonstrates that Cordero has the
potential to be developed into a highly capital efficient mine that
offers the combination of margin, size and scaleability. Cordero is
located close to infrastructure in a prolific mining belt in
Chihuahua State, Mexico. Continued exploration and project
development at Cordero is supported by an industry leading balance
sheet with cash of approximately C$70 million.
