The company has a significant historic inferred silver resource in a world-class silver mining region which is open along strike and at depth. Work is starting immediately to target resource confirmation and expansion at the Panuco deposit and exploration and target generation at the Muleros, El Cristo and San Manuel-San Gill prospects.

Zacatecas Silver has a strong cash position and management with a record of shareholder wealth creation through exploration, development and mining.

The Zacatecas silver property is located in Zacatecas state, Mexico, within the highly prospective Fresnillo silver belt, which has produced over 6.2 billion ounces of silver. The company holds 7,826 hectares of ground that is highly prospective for low-sulphidation and intermediate-sulphidation silver-base-metal mineralization and potentially low-sulphidation gold-dominant mineralization.
