(TSXV: AAG) (OTCQB: AAGFF) (the \"Company\" or \"Aftermath Silver\") is pleased to announce a new Mineral Resource estimate for the 100% owned Berenguela silver-copper-manganese project in southern Peru (\"Berenguela\" or the \"Project'). The Mineral Resource is reported in accordance with National Instrument 43‐101 (\"NI 43‐101\") and the estimate was completed by AMC Mining Consultants (Canada) Ltd. (\"AMC\"). HighlightsPublication of this Mineral Resource estimate is a major milestone for the Berenguela project. It represents the culmination of 15 months of work by Aftermath's team in Peru and its consultants. The Mineral Resource Estimate is based on a geological model incorporating data from 386 drill holes including 63 diamond core holes drilled by Aftermath in 2021/2022, and historical drilling data from 32 diamond core and 291 RC holes drilled between 2004 and 2019. The current estimate confirms and expands the previous historical Mineral Resources and is based on the most extensive geological model of the Berenguela deposit to date, which significantly enhances the understanding of the deposit. The company is now proceeding to initiate advanced metallurgical testwork programs on bulk drill core samples from key mineralized domains targeted in its drill program. This testwork will encompass flowsheets for silver, copper and zinc recovery and ultimately identify the potential manganese products including focusing on battery grade manganese sulphate (MnSO4). Ralph Rushton, President of Aftermath Silver, commented: \"We're excited to publish this Mineral Resource estimate, with manganese resources now included in addition to substantial silver and copper resources across the Measured, Indicated and Inferred categories. The overall potential value of the resource has been significantly enhanced by the inclusion of manganese. We're now focused on our upcoming metallurgical testwork. We believe that Berenguela may be one of the most significant undeveloped projects in Latin America offering investors exposu...
