Sampling Returns 2.5
m @ 1,625 g/t Ag, 14.1 g/t Au in a New Geological
Structure.
VANCOUVER, BC, June 27,
2024 /CNW/ - GR Silver Mining
Ltd. ("GR Silver Mining" or the "Company")
(TSXV: GRSL) (OTCQB: GRSLF) (FRANKFURT: GPE) – is pleased to
announce that it has advanced underground development and
bulk sampling test mining ("BSTM") at the San Juan Area, Plomosas Project in
Mexico. The BSTM program is
progressing under a commercial agreement with private local
operators (mining and milling operators) in the Rosario Mining
District in Sinaloa. The Company has achieved the
following milestones:
- To date, 280 m of underground
development have been completed, and 15,170 t of BSTM material have
been processed from the San Juan
Area, from which 235 t of concentrate have been produced, as
summarized in Table 1.
- The processing of BSTM material from the San Juan Area has resulted in silver
recoveries ranging from 84% to 92% and gold recoveries ranging from
60% to 75%. The BSTM program has allowed the processing of lead
concentrates containing high-grade silver and gold to be
commercially acceptable by off-takers.
- The work on-site supports the definition of a high-grade
silver-gold zone not represented in the current NI 43-101 Mineral
Resource estimate, allowing better delineation of key geological
controls hosting significant mineralization for future
drilling.
- The channel sampling program, as part of the BSTM program
(Table 2), has reported high-grade results, including 2.5 m @ 1,625 g/t Ag and 14.1 g/t Au. This new
zone was recently discovered, hosted by a vein/hydrothermal breccia
within a NE-trending fault zone in the San Juan Area. These structures were not
integrated in the current NI 43-101 Mineral Resource estimate,
creating potential for future resource expansion in the
San Juan Area.
- Underground control sampling during the BSTM program and site
preparation has revealed new geological structures hosting silver-
and gold-rich hydrothermal breccias not previously incorporated in
the geological model (Figure 1).

Table 2 summarizes channel sample results obtained during recent
underground development and bulk sampling in the San Juan Area.
The BSTM activities will focus on the San Juan and La Colorada Areas due to the
proximity of the targets to the surface and to third party-owned
processing plants. The Company is assessing the implementation of a
similar BSTM program at the Plomosas Mine Area in the near term.
Bulk sampling test mining within these historical mines is expected
to continue throughout 2024.
The activities of the BSTM program in the Plomosas Project's
historical mines are providing the Company with a low-cost platform
for the definition of new targets for drilling, discovery and,
potentially, resource expansion, adding key information for future
project development.
