[{"type":"text","content":"Defiance Silver Returns up to 3,260 g/t Silver in Maiden Drilling at LucitaVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 13, 2022) - Defiance Silver Corp. (TSXV: DEF) (OTCQX: DNCVF) (FSE: D4E) (\"Defiance\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to provide an update on the recently completed 4,750 metre maiden drill program at the Lucita property on the company's Zacatecas silver project, including drilling new zones of high-grade silver mineralization in the Zacatecas mining district. The drill program is the first ever to be completed at the central Lucita asset (Palenque vein system), which is currently under option from Pan American Silver Corp. (See News Release dated December 2nd, 2020). First phase drilling has been completed, with further assays pending for an additional 8 holes (DDLU-21-06 to DDLU-21-13). The initial results presented are highly-encouraging and warrant extensive follow-up exploration work.Chris Wright, Chairman & CEO, commented, \"The recent drill results from Lucita are the first known drill holes into the central Lucita project area and demonstrate the significant exploration potential in the Zacatecas mining district. For a first-pass exploration program, vein-hosted results grading over 3 kilograms per tonne silver highlight the need for continued exploration to define the true potential of the system. These results are the highest-grade silver results Defiance has drilled to date in the Zacatecas district.\"Highlights:DDSA-21-50 returned a downhole interval of 1.15m of 1,603.90 g/t Ag, within a downhole interval of 3.33m grading 709.04 g/t Ag (from 115.82m to 119.15m).DDLU-21-05 returned multiple results greater than 100 g/t Ag, including 3.48m of 513.57 g/t Ag (from 152.52m to 156.00m), with a high-grade interval of 1.90m of 940.18 g/t Ag (from 154.10m to 156.00m). Individual intercepts in this interval grade up to 3,260 g/t Ag (from 154.10m to 154.35m).The inaugural drill program at Lucita central (Palenque vein system) confirmed the presence of high-grade, near surface, Fresnillo-style, low to intermediate-sulfidation epithermal silver mineralization consisting of pyrargyrite (high-level sulfosalt) and silver sulfides that potentially indicate the higher-level setting of a zoned epithermal system.
