Today, Defiance Silver (DEF.v DNCVF) announced the appointment of Mr. Armando Vazquez as Vice President, Operations, in charge of leading operational execution across all projects including technical planning, exploration strategy, and program delivery.
Notably, Vazquez is a highly regarded exploration geologist with over 16 years of experience in designing and managing grassroots and brownfield exploration programs across Mexico, the UK, and Finland, focusing on various deposit types including epithermal, porphyry, orogenic gold, and intrusion-related systems.
He has been supporting DEF since 2020 as a Senior Consultant with OreQuest Consultants Ltd and is a Qualified Person under NI 43-101.
Chris Wright, Chairman & CEO, praised Vazquez’s technical expertise and leadership capabilities, noting that his appointment strengthens the company’s ability to execute exploration strategies and deliver long-term shareholder value, stating:
"His is deep technical knowledge, commitment to responsible exploration, and proven ability to manage complex exploration programs will play a critical role in advancing our portfolio and driving long-term value for our shareholders.
Multi-Asset Exploration Strategy
DEF is advancing a multi-asset exploration strategy in Mexico anchored by two flagship projects: the Zacatecas Silver Project and the Tepal Gold-Copper-Silver Project.
In Zacatecas, where Defiance holds the second-largest land position in the district, exploration targets include the historic San Acacio vein system and the Lucita property, both delivering high-grade silver results and set for major updates in 2025.
In Michoacn, DEF's 100%-owned Tepal Project hosts nearly 1 million ounces of gold and over 470 million pounds of copper in measured and indicated resources, with recent drilling returning strong copper-gold intervals and a new PEA underway.
To complement this pipeline, Defiance has signed an LOI to acquire Green Earth Metals Inc., adding three drill-permitted copper-gold projects in Sonora’s prolific porphyry belt near major producers like Grupo Mexico and Alamos Gold—further reinforcing its position as a leading gold-copper-silver explorer.
