Defiance Silver Corp. has recommenced drilling at the company's Zacatecas project in Mexico. The current drill program, which is focused on the Lucita license area, began in early November and recommenced in January after a three-week hiatus.

The current drill program is designed to expand on the successful 7,800 metre oriented core diamond drill campaign completed in June 2021 at the San Acacio/Veta Grande resource area. The 2020-2021 drill campaign at San Acacio was successful in identifying subtle structural controls of mineralizing events and delivered the highest-grade results the company has drilled to date at San Acacio. Results from the 2020-2021 phase of drilling in the Veta Grande resource area successfully demonstrated the down-dip and lateral continuity of the mineralized Veta Grande vein system below the current resource estimate.

The oriented core data from the past phase of drilling is being analyzed with the goal of defining controlling structures and their relationship to grade distribution.
