Canasil Resources Inc. (TSX-V:
CLZ, DB Frankfurt: 3CC, “Canasil” or the
“Company”) announces results from the fourth core drill hole of the
2021 follow up drill program,
NRC-21-12, testing
below and between the 2020 maiden drill intercepts on the Candy
vein at the Nora silver-gold project in north-central Durango
State, Mexico. Core drill hole
NRC-21-12, targeted
the Candy vein structure approximately 60 metres (‘m’) down dip
below NRC-21-11, and 60 m south of and at the same elevation as
NRC-21-09.
NRC-21-12 intersected a 12.50-metre
mineralized structure with high average gold and silver grades,
including multiple bands consistently carrying very high gold and
silver grades, as detailed in the table below:

The high-grade mineralized bands in core drill
holes NRC-21-09 (previously reported on August 12,
2021) and NRC-21-12 are defining the highest-grade
zone of the Candy vein structure, and point to increasing grades
and widths to depth, and along strike to the north of the central
panel tested to date. Follow up drilling will target as a priority
the zone below NRC-21-09 and NRC-21-12, as well as the untested
section along strike to the north of drill holes NRC-20-06 and
NRC-21-09.
Canasil President and CEO, Bahman Yamini,
commented: “The 2021 follow up drill program on the Candy vein at
Nora continues to return exceptional results – drill hole NRC-21-12
is at the deepest level tested so far, alongside NRC-21-09 and
NRC-21-10, yet still interpreted to be in the higher levels of the
mineralized system at only 200 m below surface. The very high gold
and silver grades are consistent through all the 2021 drill holes,
and occur in bands within wide mineralized structures confirming
the initial 2020 discovery on the Candy vein at Nora. Drilling to
date has now defined a very high grade central mineralized panel,
which is open along strike and to depth, and shows the potential
for defining ounces quickly based on the widths and high grades
seen so far. We are looking forward to continued work at Nora to
expand the system.”
The six 2020 core drill holes, NRC-20-01 to
NRC-20-06, and the four 2021 core drill holes to date, NRC-21-09 to
NRC-21-12, have all cut the Candy vein structure returning gold and
silver mineralization over a strike distance of 500 m of the
potential 3-kilometre strike, and to a depth of 200 m. The 2021
core drill holes have confirmed very high gold and silver values
within the central 125-metre mineralized panel, extending it to a
depth of 200 m below surface. There has been no historical drilling
at the Nora project and the 2020 and 2021 drill programs are the
first ever drill programs within the project area. The consistently
high gold and silver grades within wide mineralized structures,
together with the relatively low base metal values, confirm the
upper levels of a strong gold-silver mineralized system which is
open for significant expansion along strike and to depth.
The 2021 drill program to date included four
core drill holes completed in July 2021, NRC-21-09 to NRC-21-12,
for a total of 932 m, targeted below and in between the 2020 drill
holes NRC-20-04 and NRC-20-06 as shown on the Candy vein long
section below.
The drill program was implemented by the
Company’s exploration team in Mexico under the direction of Eng.
Erme Enriquez (CPG). All core samples are logged and prepared at
the Company’s core storage facility in Durango, Mexico, and sent to
ALS Laboratories in Zacatecas, Mexico, for preparation and then on
to ALS Global in Vancouver for gold and silver analyses by fire
assay with an atomic absorption finish (“FA-AA”) on a 30 gram
split, and for silver, copper, lead, zinc and trace elements by ICP
analysis following digestion of 0.50 gram sample in aqua regia.
Over limit silver and copper are assayed using an aqua regia
digestion, followed by ICP-AES or AAS finish, and over limit gold
and silver assayed by gravimetric finish (Au-GRA21 and Ag-GRA-21).
The Company's QA/QC program includes inserting certified analytical
standards and blanks into the sample batches, and the subsequent
diligent monitoring of results for quality analytical
assurance.

About Nora Silver-Gold-Copper-Zinc-Lead
Project, Durango State, Mexico:
The Nora project is located approximately 200 km
north-west of the City of Durango, with good access and
infrastructure. The geological setting is a Tertiary-aged volcanic
flow-dome complex. Gold-silver mineralization is hosted within two
structurally-controlled epithermal veins, Candy and Nora.
Mineralization is typical of that found at many mines in the
region, with gold and silver associated with galena, sulfosalt
minerals and lesser pyrite, sphalerite and chalcopyrite. There is
evidence of some historical mining activity on the Candy vein,
which is exposed in discontinuous outcrops for over 900 metres. The
fault structure hosting the Candy vein has been traced for a
distance of over 3 km. Samples of vein outcrop and mineral dumps
from the Candy vein returned significant gold, silver, copper, zinc
and lead values. The second vein, Nora, is found 600 metres
northeast of the Candy vein and can be traced for 230 metres with
widths of over 9.0 metres. Surface samples from this vein returned
anomalous silver values associated with trace sulphides, with a
geochemical signature typical of the higher levels of epithermal
vein systems in the region. The 2020 drill program was the first
drilling at the Nora project and returned encouraging intercepts
with high gold, silver and copper values from the Candy vein.
Historical systematic grid soil sampling over an
area of 3 km by 2 km covering the Candy and Nora veins and
projected extensions, showed elevated silver, base metal (copper,
lead and zinc) and pathfinder (antimony and arsenic) values. The
combination of the vein outcrops with large areas of anomalous
silver and base metal values in soil samples may indicate
additional concealed mineral systems. Other major deposits in the
region include SSR Mining’s La Pitarrilla deposit located 50 km
east of the Nora project.
