(TSXV: CAPT) (\"Capitan\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report continued exploration results from five reverse circulation (RC) drillholes from the Jesus Maria silver zone at its 100%-owned Cruz de Plata Project (Formerly referred to as Peñoles), in Durango, Mexico.Highlights:Drill results extend high grade silver mineralization at Jesus Maria to depth; identifying a new higher grade silver zone, which remains open (See Figure 1: Updated long section)Hole 22-JMRC-19 returned 21.3m of 132.9 g/t Ageq, including 1.5m of 307.5 g/t Ageq and 1.5m of 344.8 g/t AgeqHole 22-JMRC-13 returned 3.0m of 225.8 g/t Ageq All drill holes successfully intersected the Jesus María vein and extended the zone down-dipPrograms of soil sampling and surface trenching and prospecting continue at the Capitan, Jesus Maria, and San Rafael targetsSix drillholes are pending from the spring 2022 RC program testing the Jesus Maria vein, Gully Fault and San Rafael north zonesFigure 1.

Drillholes were designed as either step-outs along section or as strategic infills, to further delineate areas of high-grade Ag-mineralization. All drillholes reported herein, except for 22-JMRC-17 were step-out holes focused on expanding mineralization down-dip to the east of the Gully Fault (See Figure 2). All drillholes were successful in intersecting Jesus Maria style mineralization, expanding the zone between 43m and 114m down-dip along section.Holes 22-JMRC-16, 18 and 19 were targeting the expansion of Jesus Maria Style mineralization to the southeast of the current drill defined boundary (See Figure 2: Long Section). All three holes returned multiple intervals of Jesus Maria style m...
