(TSXV: DEF) (FSE: D4E) (WKN: A1JQW5) (\"Defiance\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to provide an update on the current drilling campaign at the Zacatecas Project. The campaign was designed to confirm the extension of the known mineralized structures both laterally and vertically as well as to validate the current geological model that will be used for the upcoming Mineral Resource Estimate. This release contains results from holes: DDSA-25-78 through DDSA-25-81, representing 1,486m of drilling. A total of 4,039m of the 10,000m diamond drill program has been reported to date.HIGHLIGHTS OF RESULTSDDSA-25-80 returned 1.20m of 356.00 g/t Ag and 2.15 g/t Au (from 106.85m to 108.05m) hosted within a larger interval of 11.02m (100.78m to 111.80m) grading 125.41 g/t Ag and 0.81 g/t Au.DDSA-25-78 returned a 2.14m interval grading 111.12 g/t Ag from (267.96m to 270.10m). including 0.68m of 208.00 g/t Ag (268.65m to 269.33m).DDSA-25-81 returned 2.63m of 111.32 g/t Ag (from 417.12m to 419.75m) including 0.26m of 543.00 g/t Ag (from 417.12m to 417.38m).Overview Map of Drill LocationsFigure 1.

This release includes 1,486m of drilling as part of a minimum 10,000m drill program designed to collect additional data in the San Acacio historical resource area. These holes were designed to improve the main Veta Grande structural model and to infill poorly drilled zones, as well as to test both hanging wall and footwall splays of the Veta Grande system, including the Veta Navidad. Through surface mapping and drilling, the company has identified at least 3 blocks on the main Veta Grande structure. These blocks are delimited by major N-NW striking faults, where displacement of the veins, mineralization sty...
