Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 25, 2014) - Defiance Silver Corp (TSXV: DEF) ("Defiance") is pleased to announce that
it has both received a drill permit and secured long-term surface rights that
allow for an initial 2000 meter drill program on the San Acacio silver deposit
in the historic Zacatecas Silver District. The San Acacio deposit has produced
approximately 100 million ounces of silver historically from an epithermal vein
with mineralized intersections averaging between 7-10 meters wide but with
individual intersections of up to 28 meters wide. The drilling program is
focused on significantly increasing the current resource in the northwestern
portion of the 1 km long zone of past production below the lower margins of the
existing resource blocks. A further 3000 meter drill program will be focused on
the southeastern portion of the zone using the same concept. Drilling programs
to test the potential along the 4.6 km extension of the vein to the southeast
will test the potential along strike.
Defiance received formal approval from the Mexican
environmental control agency Semarnat of the Informe Preventivo permit
application for a total of 5000m of drilling that was submitted in early October
of this year. "We are very pleased with the excellent cooperation that we
received from Semarnat during the permitting process and the rapid timeframe for
approval of the application", reports Bruce Winfield, President and CEO of
Defiance.
Defiance has also secured long-term surface rights which will
provide access for the planned drill program on the San Acacio deposit. A 20
year access agreement has been signed with a private land owner for 18 hectares
of land covering the northwestern portion of the vein. The agreement includes
annual payments in return for access during exploration and development
activities, through to and including mining activities. A lease agreement has
also been obtained from the Municipality of Veta Grande providing for access to
34 hectares of adjacent ground along the trend of the San Acacio deposit.
Bruce Winfield, President & CEO of Defiance, stated, "With
these recent developments we are making excellent progress toward carrying out
our first drill program at San Acacio we are looking forward to the results of
this program as we are targeting the lowest hanging fruit with the lowest
risk/highest reward equation of the exploration potential at San Acacio".
