(TSXV: BHS) (the \"Company\" or \"Bayhorse\") is pleased to report it has completed the examination of the historical underground 1984 mine workings silver zone at the Bayhorse Silver Mine, as reported in the Company's news release, BHS2018-21. The Company has now accessed all the workings within the silver-copper mineralized zone at the Mine.1500 feet of underground workings newly accessibleHistorical mine plan now undergoing evaluationEnhanced sampling underway to include now accessible areas in revised 43-101 Resource ReportOverall an additional 1500 feet of drifts on three levels, plus numerous raises and interconnecting access areas are now open and useable. They provide access to the entire mineralized zone developed during the 1984 Silver King Mines activity. Historically 5,782 tons at a reported 16.7 oz/ton Ag were mined during the 1984 mining program and Silver King developed and blocked out an additional 6,786 tons to be mined, although no grade was shown. The newly accessed mineralized zone begins 600 feet inside the mine portal, and extends a further 550 foot along strike to the west, with a vertical extent of in excess of 70 feet. Sampling and modeling of the zone is being undertaken to confirm the area blocked out for mining by Silver Kings Mines and to enable cost effective extraction planning Apex Geoscience, which the Company retained to produce a National Instrument 43-101 Report on the property, has advised that it will conduct an enhanced resampling program in the historical mine workings to verify grades for the ultimate production of a current resource estimate. Apex is also concurrently developing a comprehensive model of the mineralization at the far westerly reaches inside the Mine.The National Instrument 43-101 Report being prepared will incorporate all the new information and will represent a current status report on the mine.Bayhorse CEO Graeme O'Neill comments, \"As it costs $1,000 per lineal foot to develop 10ft x 10ft underground drifts, we have just been relieved of a significant development cost expense and made substantial time savings, allowing us to rapidly move forward with extraction of mineralizatio...
