Capitan Mining Drills 1.5m of 860.2 gt AgEq Within 10.7m of 435.02 gt AgEq at the Jesus Maria Silver Zone in Durango, Mexico

Vancouver - Capitan Mining Inc. (TSXV: CAPT) ('Capitan' or the 'Company') is pleased to report continued exploration results from its 100% owned Jesus Maria Silver Zone, at the Cruz de Plata Project, Durango, Mexico.

Highlights

Hole 21-JMRC03 returned 435.02 g/t AgEq over 10.7m from the Jesus Maria Silver Zone, including three higher-grade intervals of: 798.29 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, 860.19 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, 641.0 g/t AgEq over 1.5m

New gold-silver zone discovered to the north of the Jesus Maria Silver Zone, with 13.7m of 63.3 g/t AgEq

Additional mineralized structures intersected in the hanging wall to the Jesus Maria Silver Zone

Drilling is ongoing; a total of 15 RC Drill holes have been completed at the Jesus Maria Silver Zone- Assays for 11 drill holes are pending

Capitan is re-branding its 'Penoles Project' to 'Cruz de Plata Project' which is closely aligned to its silver focus and exploration potential

New Gold-Silver Zone Discovered

Additionally, a new zone of gold-silver mineralization was discovered to the north of the Jesus Maria Silver Zone, with Au-Ag (Capitan Style) mineralization intersected at 164.6m downhole, approximately 50m to the north of the Jesus-Maria Vein. This new zone returned 13.7m of 63.28 g/t AgEq, and has been interpreted to be the northeastern extension of the Gully Fault structure, which appears to continue the north of the Jesus Maria Silver Zone. This new zone remains open along strike to the northeast.

About the Jesus Maria Silver Zone

The Jesus Maria (JM) Silver Zone is located approximately 280m to the northeast of the Capitan's Oxide Gold deposit on its 100% owned Cruz de Plata Project. It has been traced by surface trenching and diamond drilling over a strike length of 750m and to a depth of 150m, with the majority of drilling focused over 250m strike length and less than 100m below surface.

The Jesus Maria Silver Zone has a long mining history going back to the late 1800's, when the Penoles Mining company constructed several shafts and drifts to exploit the high-grade silver veins in the area. In recent years, work programs conducted by previous operators has demonstrated significant potential at the Jesus Maria silver deposit. The work to date has identified Two (2) distinct styles of silver mineralization: 1. High-grade silver polymetallic veins (Silver gold lead-Zinc) 2. High-grade silver with gold veins
