Silvercorp Metals Inc. (TSX:SVM, NYSEAMERICAN:SVM) is pleased to report results of its 2016 and 2017 exploration program at its GC Ag-Pb-Zn mine, Guangdong Province, China.

In 2016 and 2017, the Company launched extensive exploration program and completed a total of 33,029 meters (“m”) of underground diamond drilling and 19,619 m of exploration tunneling at its GC Ag-Pb-Zn mine. Significant high-grade mineralized zones have been exposed at and below the current production levels, and major mineralized zones have been extended along strike and downdip.

The drilling program included infill drilling to define and upgrade the current resource model, and step-out drilling for new resources surrounding and below the current resource area. Between 2016 and 2017, 294 NQ sized diamond drill holes with total length of 33,029 meters were accomplished at 7 production levels from 150 m to -200 m at 50 m interval (the elevation of the head frame is 258.5 m). Among them, 153 holes intersected ore veins with Ag equivalent (AgEq) values greater than 194 g/t, and another 36 holes hit mineralized veins with AgEq values between 97 and194 g/t (Tab. 1).

Table 1: Summary of the drilling programs in 2016 and 2017

In 2016 and 2017, 19,619 m of tunneling were driven along and across the major mineralized vein structures to upgrade the resource model and test for new vein structures. These included 7,767 m key drifts that exposed 4,803 m of ore veins, as well as 4,351 m of key raises that exposed 3,002 m of ore veins (Tab. 2).

Table 2: Summary of the tunneling programs in 2016 and 2017

Tables 3 and 4 below list assay results of some selected drill holes that intercepted ores and drift tunnels that exposed ore zones in the 2016 and 2017 exploration programs.

Table 3: Selected drilling results from the 2016 and 2017 drilling programs at GC mine

(1) Metal prices assumed: Ag USD19/Oz, Pb USD1.0/lb., Zn USD1.2/lb. (2) Ag equivalent AgEq = Ag grade (g/t) + 53.9 x Pb grade (%) + 50.5 x Zn grade (%)

Table 4: Selected drifts that exposed ore zones at GC mine in 2016 and 2017

The step-out drilling and tunneling in the east of the mine defined new mineralized vein structures including V7E、NV10、V14、V19、V31、V32 and V33. Vein V7E has been defined 95 m in strike length, 150 m in downdip length and 0.8-1.75 m in width, with average grade of 81 g/t Ag, 1.43 % Pb and 3.08% Zn. The exploration program at -150m and -200m levels indicated that the length and width, ore continuity and ore grades improved greatly with the increase of depth (Tab. 5).

Table 5: Increases of average grades in veins V2E and V2W with depth

In addition, two drill holes, 18CK26A04 and 18CK28A05, hit high-grade mineralization with true width of 3.31 m and 1.97 m, respectively, at elevation around -455 m. The host rock of the mineralization is slate, which indicated that the mineralization system is not limited to granite, but extend into the sedimentary rock underneath the granite intrusive. Also, the trend of increasing Ag, Pb, Zn and Cu grades with depth continued to below -450 m elevation. The assay results of the intercepted ore of drill hole 18CK28A05 are 310 g/t Ag, 2.13% Pb, 14.96% Zn, 0.73% Cu, 0.19% Sn and 0.34 g/t Au.

Drill core samples were taken from sawn half core for every 1.5m or limited by apparent wall rock and mineralization contact. Half of the core was sent to the laboratory for analysis and the other half retained for archive. The channel samples are collected along sample lines perpendicular to the mineralized vein structure in exploration tunnels. Sample length ranges from 0.2 m to more than 1.0 m, depending on the width of the mineralized vein and the mineralization type. Spacing between sampling lines is typically 5 m along strike. Both the mineralized vein and the altered wall rocks are cut with continuous chisel chipping. The samples are individually secured in cotton sample bags and then collectively secured in rice bags for shipment to the on-site laboratory.

For analysis, the sample is dried and crushed to minus 1 mm and then split to a 200-300 g subsample which is further pulverized to minus 200 mesh. A duplicate sample of minus 1 mm is made and kept at the laboratory archives. Two subsamples are prepared from the pulverized sample. One is digested with two-acids for analysis of silver, lead, zinc and copper with AAS. The other is retained as pulp reject at the lab for future reference.

A routine quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) procedure is adopted to monitor the analytical quality at the lab. Certified reference materials (CRMs), pulp duplicates and blanks are inserted into each lab batch of samples. QA/QC data at the lab are attached to the assay certificates for each batch of samples.

The Company maintains its own comprehensive QA/QC program to ensure best practices in sample preparation and analysis of the exploration samples. Project geologists regularly insert CRM, field duplicates and blanks to each batch of core samples to monitor the sample preparation and analysis procedures at the labs. The analytical quality of the labs is further evaluated with external checks by sending about 3-5% of the pulp samples to higher level labs to check for lab bias.

Data from both the Company’s and the lab’s QA/QC programs are reviewed on a timely basis by project geologists.

Guoliang Ma, P. Geo, Silvercorp’s Manager of Exploration and Resource, reviewed the exploration data and prepared the scientific and technical information regarding exploration results contained herein.  He is the Qualified Person on the project as defined under National Instrument 43-101 and has verified and approved the contents of this news release.

Silver is a popular choice for metals investors, but is much more volatile than its sister metal gold.

In March 2020, at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the price of silver dropped to US$13.78 per ounce, its lowest since 2009. However, by August 2020, the white metal’s price had almost doubled, shooting up to US$27.84. The precious metal has faced headwinds in 2022, but its potential is still strong in the minds of many experts.

It's no secret that silver is not only decorative, but in fact has many uses, from antimicrobial properties in the healthcare industry to its unmatched conductive properties for technology. Commonly used in solar panels and electric cars, the metal has a large part to play in the development of clean energy technologies.

With silver's strong future in mind, investors may want exposure to stocks focused on the white metal. Pure-play companies are relatively rare as silver is often produced as a by-product of other metals, but it's possible to find firms with strong silver component. The companies below were the largest ASX-listed silver stocks by market cap as of May 29, 2022. Data was gathered at that time using TradingView's stock screener.

Market cap: AU$615.34 million; current share price: AU$2.33

Adriatic Metals (ASX:ADT) is a base and precious metals explorer and developer. It owns the Vares silver project in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the Raska zinc project in Serbia. The Vares project is close to a number of different historic mining operations and at 41 square kilometres it is the largest mineral permit in Bosnia.

A late May update on the Vares asset states that the construction activities are advancing on track and on time. A new drilling contractor has delivered a significant increase in productivity.

Market cap: AU$243.45 million; current share price: AU$0.19

Silver Mines (ASX:SVL) is an Australian silver exploration and development company that currently owns over 2,007 square kilometres of title land. Its Barabolar and Bowdens silver projects are located just east of New South Wales, Australia. Bowdens is made up of one open-cut mine and is the largest underdeveloped Australian silver deposit; it is expected to produce 66 million ounces of silver in its estimated 16.5 year lifespan.

According to a report released by Silver Mines in the first quarter, drilling at Bowdens is continuing to deliver high-grade silver, lead and zinc mineralization.

Market cap: AU$73.28 million; current share price: AU$0.05

Investigator Resources (ASX:IVR) is a base and precious metals explorer that has honed its efforts on copper, silver and gold. The company’s Paris silver project is a 100 percent owned asset based in South Australia, and Investigator completed an updated resource estimate for the project in mid-2021.

In May, Investigator Resources found outstanding grades of silver at its Apollo project, which is just 4 kilometres northwest of the Paris project. A 7,600 metre regional drill program near the Paris project has been completed, and assays for the remaining 52 holes are pending.

Market cap: AU$52.19 million; current share price: AU$0.33

Boab Metals (ASX:BML), previously known as Pacifico Minerals, is an Australian precious and base metals explorer and developer. The company owns 75 percent of Sorby Hills, which is a joint venture project with Henan Yuguang Gold Lead — China's largest lead smelter and silver producer.

Sorby Hills is located in Western Australia, and a late May update shows that the company received approvals pertaining to site establishment so the project can continue development during the wet season.

Market cap: AU$39.8 million; current share price: AU$0.07

Austral Gold (ASX:AGD) is a gold and silver exploration and production company with assets that stretch internationally across the Americas.

Its main assets are the Guanaco and Amancaya mines in Chile, where it produces gold and silver. In April, Austral Gold said it was continuing with its exploration strategy, which includes targeting two more top-tier potential projects to extend the life of the Guanaco-Amancaya mine complex.

Purchases will be made at the discretion of the directors at prevailing market prices, through the facilities of the TSX, the NYSE American, and alternative trading systems in Canada and the United States , in compliance with regulatory requirements. There can be no assurance as to the precise number of shares that will be repurchased under the NCIB. Silvercorp may discontinue its purchases at any time, subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. The Company intends to cancel all shares acquired under the NCIB. The price the Company will pay for the common shares will be the market price at the time of purchase, or such other price as may be permitted by the applicable regulatory requirements.   Any private purchases that may be made under an exemption order issued by a securities regulatory authority will generally be at a discount to the prevailing market price.

The Company is not aware of any officers, directors or persons holding 10% or more of the securities that intend to sell their securities at the inception of the NCIB, but such officers, directors or persons holding 10% or more of the securities may sell their securities during the course of the NCIB, as their personal circumstances may require. If during the course of the NCIB the Company becomes aware that officers, directors or persons holding 10% or more of the securities intend to sell their securities, then the Company will not intentionally acquire such securities.

The maximum number of shares that may be purchased on the TSX during any trading day may not exceed 98,277 common shares of the Company, which is 25% of the average daily trading volume on the TSX based on the previous six completed calendar months of 393,110 . This limit, for which there are permitted exceptions, is determined in accordance with TSX regulatory requirements and does not apply to purchases made by the Company on the alternative trading  systems in the United States .

First Majestic Silver Corp. (NYSE: AG) (TSX: FR) (the "Company" or "First Majestic") is pleased to announce additional positive drill results from its ongoing exploration program at the Jerritt Canyon Gold Mine ("Jerritt Canyon") located in Elko County, Nevada.

"Today's exploration results continue to validate our thesis that the area between the operating SSX and Smith mines is favourable for new, near-mine gold discoveries," stated Keith Neumeyer, President and CEO of First Majestic. "Hole-1102 intersected what looks like a new high-grade area on the north side of the SSX/Smith connection drift. Nine follow up drill holes are being planned to further define this potential new zone. In addition, follow up drilling at Zone 10 in the Smith mine has confirmed the presence of a high-grade pod of gold mineralization approximately 90 metres southeast from the connection drift. Over the past few months, we advanced the mine development towards this high-grade pod in anticipation of initial ore extraction in early October. Furthermore, ore production from the West Gen mine is also planned to begin in October and expected to increase the amount of fresh ore production at Jerritt to over 3,000 tonnes per day by the end of 2022."

Highlights from the Company's ongoing exploration program include the following summary of gold intercepts:

Drilling at Smith Zone 10 (Figure 2):

● Follow up drilling to hole SMI-LX-1112 (8.39 grams of gold per tonne (g/t Au) over 29.7m, reported May 2022) delineated a new gold mineral zone located above the water table, approximately 90m southeast of the new connection drift between the SSX and Smith mines. Geologic interpretation and modeling of the drilling results determined that the gold zone is flat-lying, similar to nearby deposits. Results from Smith Zone 10 include:

Drilling from the SSX/Smith Mine connection drift (Figure 3):

●SMI-LX-1102: 19.35 g/t Au over 23.2m: the intercept is approximately 75m north and 40m above the connection drift (above the current water table). The geometry of the mineralization appears to be sub-horizontal with the drilling intersecting at a low angle.

●SSX-SR-612: 10.27 g/t Au over 14.7m and 9.53 g/t Au over 13.7m: the intercepts are approximately 300m SE and 75m below the connection drift. The drill hole likely intercepted the mineralization at a low angle and may be correlated to results from hole SSX-SR-608 reported in May 2022.

●SMI-LX-799: 32 g/t Au over 13.7m: identified gold mineralization approximately 150m north and 15m below active mine workings. Geologic interpretation suggests that this intercept is stratigraphically controlled (sub-horizontal) and drilling has intersected it at a low angle.

Drilling at SSX Zone 5 (Figure 5):

In 2022, the Company plans to drill approximately 120,000m at Jerritt Canyon with a focus primarily on the Smith/SSX mines, Winters Creek, Waterpipe, Wheeler, and Murray areas. The 2022 drilling campaign consists of short-term focused underground core drilling testing extensions of known ore controls in close proximity to active mining; mid-term focused drilling planned to validate/test the presence of mineralized volumes near historic workings; and long-term focused drilling aiming to make new gold discoveries in the district (Figure 1).

Table 1: Summary of Significant Gold Intercepts:

DDH is abbreviation for Diamond Drill Hole; From, To and Length indicated in metres, true width of the mineralized intercepts is unknown at this time.

Gold intercepts are calculated using weighted averages, uncapped sample assays, a 3.0 g/t Au cut-off grade and a minimum length of five metres. True width of incepts is unknown at this time. A maximum three metres below the cut-off grade is allowed as dilution.

First Majestic's drill programs follow established QA/QC insertion protocols with standards, blanks and duplicates introduced in the sample stream. After detailed geological logging, all drill core samples were cut in half. One half of the core is submitted to Paragon Geochemical in Reno, Nevada (Au-AA30, Au-GR30 - ISO/IEC 17025:2017). The remaining half core is retained on-site for verification and reference purposes.

Samples submitted to Paragon Geochemical are dried, crushed and pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns. At Paragon Geochemical, Au is analyzed by Au by Fire Assay-Aqua Regia Digest AAS finish. Samples returning Au greater than 8 ppm are analyzed by 30 g Fire Assay gravimetric finish.

See the Company's Annual Information Form, available at www.sedar.com for further information concerning QAQC and data verification matters, the key assumptions, parameters and methods used by the Company to estimate Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources, and for a detailed description of known legal, political, environmental, and other risks that could materially affect the Company's business and the potential development of the Company's Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources.

The information provided in this report/statement/release constitutes exploration results. It is inappropriate for the reader to use the information presented for deriving estimates of tonnage and grade or quality.

This press release contains "forward‐looking information" and "forward-looking statements" under applicable Canadian and U.S. securities laws (collectively, "forward‐looking statements"). These statements relate to future events or the Company's future performance, business prospects or opportunities that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management made in light of management's experience and perception of historical trends. Assumptions may prove to be incorrect and actual results may differ materially from those anticipated. Statements concerning proven and probable mineral reserves and mineral resource estimates may also be deemed to constitute forward‐looking statements to the extent that they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered as and if the property is developed, and in the case of measured and indicated mineral resources or proven and probable mineral reserves, such statements reflect the conclusion based on certain assumptions that the mineral deposit can be economically exploited. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as "seek", "anticipate", "plan", "continue", "estimate", "expect", "may", "will", "project", "predict", "forecast", "potential", "target", "intend", "could", "might", "should", "believe" and similar expressions) are not statements of historical fact and may be "forward‐looking statements".

Actual results may vary from forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to materially differ from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: material adverse changes, unexpected changes in laws, rules or regulations, or their enforcement by applicable authorities; the failure of parties to contracts with the company to perform as agreed; social or labour unrest; changes in commodity prices; and the failure of exploration programs or studies to deliver anticipated results or results that would justify and support continued exploration, studies, development or operations. Although First Majestic has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended.

The Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward‐looking statements are reasonable, but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward‐looking statements included herein should not be unduly relied upon. These statements speak only as of the date hereof. The Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable laws.
